What's the prize for this "contest", btw? Kingpin F1/Tek 9?:D

is that it? here i thought i was missing something ;)
this blows being here watching...if i would have biked back down i could have been there by now easily :mad:
Gomeler won a Tek9 5.0 and i was lucky enough to get a W3540 from Andre's stash i believe. i just put it under the single stage (-33C evap during run)Quote:

Watching Andre's BIOS fingers was crazy. (Is he making this up on the fly, or does he really know what he's doing? :shrug:) Watching k|ngp|n and shamino destroy Vantage records is something I'll not soon forget. Should it really take 5 hours to prep a board, or is that just what you put up with when you're running super secret record destroying gpu's?:D
Quote of the weekend:
"I felt dirty just watching that."
-3oh6 after gomeler's iPhone hit the floor, after which gomeler said, "I guess it's time to upgrade to 3GS." I hope someone cuts you a deal on the upgrade!
@Vince, I'll definitely take you up on the offer to come down again, but next time I'm bringing $275. :D
k|ngp|n, shamino, philly boy, 3oh6, andre, gautam, gomeler, vapor, thegoat; you guys are awesome. I can't thank you guys enough for letting me go.
its gotta be a gainesyQuote:

Damn, that could be a very nice chip Jody, now I'm kicking myself for not trying harder :doh: The AM3 contest was a lot of fun, I blame me benching two rigs at once as my downfall :D
It's been a hell of a lot of fun here the last 3 days, I've got another 16 hours till I fly out but I doubt I'll be benching again, I'm beat. Probably time to take count of where all my stuff is, it is scattered all over the place :cool:
Watching Vince and Shamino was some great stuff. I filled in as LN2 boy, amazed at how much LN2 those GT200 cores burn through at those speeds. Now that I've got a Tek 9 5.0 I'm going to search for a dual-pcb GTX295 and try to have my own little GT200 fun :D
Huge props to Vapor and Gautam, they've diligently been tweaking Vista and I've learned a lot from them just watching. Huge stuff there guys :up:
Time to go grab some food, we keep forgetting to eat.
wow awesome w3540 cpu there Jody :)
so all this talking of Andre's bios fingering action has me curious - is it really that fast or you guys just too slow ? :D
I thought I was fast on Gigabyte boards.. Andre is stupid fast on that Classified. It is a sight to see :up:Quote:

Sounds like you guys had one hell of a weekend!:up:
I hear rumors of some super special board and also a Roman God I think making an appearance?????:p:
Wish I could have been there with you.
I would like a moment of silence for the EVGA classified that died along with the Xeon and the other nehalem that died (of hardware I remember dieing on Saturday). I wonder if Shamino found the spot that burnt on that board as that smell from the board didn't leave for hours.
Did you end up putting some ln2 on that 7600gt on Sunday? You were only getting around 860ish core although you had it much higher earlier but forgot what voltage it was at. The 7600gt wr had the core at 933 so you also would have needed something other than EVGA precision as it maxed out at 915.Quote:

My 8800gts512 went up in smoke lol and my 8600gt stopped booting :S oh well at least I learned to use ln2 and was decent... I benches the jiggabye rig for like 4-5 hours w/ oh so much ice in and on the potQuote:

And also mad props to Jody (3oh6) for showing me how easy it is to boot in at 245 bclk with his 920 D0 on his Classy. We were running 32M Pi at 252 bclk like it was no big deal!! I have lots to do now with my own rig once I get it set up this weekend.
Watching Andre bench AM3 on Saturday was a real treat. I got to be his LN2 boy while he rode that rig to a WR! He is such a character!!
And Guatam just would not stop "stirring the pot" with Andre to challenge him to push harder. We were cracking up with the comments.
We even got to watch the CNC mill in action as it made a few F1 back plates. A fascinating piece of machinery.
I haven't had this much fun in months!! Thanks to Vince and Peter for making it possible.
I'll post some pics tomorrow when I am back home.
Ff Cpu Dead!!!!
Very nice looking event! Scores are as crazy as they can be.. those EVGA cards are the real monsters and so is the CPU!
Jody does look like a paparazzi in that pic :D (Nice pictures)
Nice benching guys :toast:
Give me a day to sort through the images, we finished the weekend in style :cool:Quote:

Vince you still using that keyboard that was getting stuck or you keep using it for "handicap" reasons? :D
c'mon stop ut :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:'ing and get benching :ROTF: still....gaming brought some of us to bench maybe we shouldn't forget about that fact ;) oc is work, gaming is fun or sth. like that ;)
With a ping like that, Sham didn't stand a chance. :D
its because sham cant play with all that lag :D
PC's are lan'd with x-over cable guys those pings are not correct, though I bet sham wishes they were ;)
LOL! he can use it in his defence tho :D. or that he was modding with the other hand ;P
ill challenge you in dota vince ?:D
lol showoff :p::D
UT2k3...man I used to own on that map with the lightning gun.
Anyone up for some team deathmatch against us? :D
Ouch nice beat down on Lardy 22-1 :p:
UT99 Vince...you don't wanna meet me in game :up:

99 or 03 going on tonight? If its 99 I'm there, but it didn't seem to be working for me in 99, so it looks like I might not be able to join in.
Looks like Gomeler spectacularly destroyed an 790FXT-UD5P during the meetup :D
ouch looks like a clean headshot :D :D :D
Looks like I'm going to have to transfer Martijn's title to Gomeler... Mr. Boardkiller........:rofl:Quote:

Am I the only 1 that finds it ironic that the board says "ULTRA DURABLE" right underneath the destroyed socket?:p:
This will be fixed in Ultra Durable 4 :rofl:
LOL Ultra Durrable 4 Gomeler Edition :rofl:Quote:

I had this almost happen to me once the condensation form and of course the eraser did its job right up until it froze the pot to the socket I was patient though waited and eventually took a hair dryer to it.
Nice Gomeler! LOL
I don't like waiting for the socket area unfreeze so I just fill the container with warm/hot water until the container separates by it self. No added force needed and its pretty quick.
I once put off an ihs off a 4000+ in this method :rofl:

so, AMD is going backwards in this way :D
lesson - don't mess glue with thermal paste
Ahhh nice meetup guys! :up:
Vince... am sure you had all da fun with gun. Sham... that UT score, well dats not good man!! :D
It was 4am and I was 95% packed. I just wanted to pull the pot off, stuff it in it's container, put the board in the box, and head home :shrug: No big loss, we got an awesome story out of it.Quote:

we warmed up our pot back in January with PH2 and the chip still managed to be pulled out of socket due to sticky mount (this was due to thermal paste creating a perfect bond) >> i was too scared to twist as i tried so decided to just yank it out lol
That's why I pull the pot off still cold, typically the Ceramique cleanly separates. Then again this is also typically around -50C or so after I warm it up a bit :D I hate Phenom II's lack of a socket retention mechanism, yanking chips and bending pins is so frustrating :shakes:Quote:

I was told we won't see LGA for a while by guys at AMD. They say it is cheaper using pins. I guess this way they can immediately discount all RMAs that have destroyed pins? :shrug: PGAs are so 2007 :down:Quote:

It's hilarious watching you knock over thermoses, drinks, drop motherboard on the floor, curse at the bench rig, its so fun benchin with you guys :DQuote:
