no kidding, that's basically what I was thinking. oh but no, i should already own the gear for it and be "experienced". :rofl::ROTF:Quote:

My idea too, tho i've LN2 pot already :p:Quote:

I'd get lynched for my comments..:rofl:
This is the reason why it should NOT be a big issue:Quote:

When it gets down to the high end overclocking a lot of us don't have the money to throw down on LN2 and hardware to become amazing overclockers. I work for a helpdesk making decent money, but I have 2 car payments and rent that I have to pay and a child to take care of. I agree to the point that I wouldn't be able to use a cherry chip like it’s meant to be used and hell I probably couldn't afford the hardware needed to use it properly.
But what has been pissing me off from reading some of the recent posts in this thread is that by someone who could be a possible great overclocker winning a chip like this or any of the nice hardware, it would upset a lot of the extreme overclockers who have high end hardware setup just to benchmark. We are suppose to be friendly and encourage others and even help out where need be, and sometimes that doesn't happen.
Look at myself for example, I have a 6400+ BE that runs great, we know it won't work great under extreme cold but hell it barely wants to do 3.6Ghz on air. But when it comes to software tweaking and getting the best performance for my buck in my 24/7 workstation and gaming rig I feel I am up there with a lot of others.
I do have the extra time here and there to try to have some fun with overclocking and benchmarking but when it comes down to the bottom line. I don't have the money to afford pushing things way past their limit.
@BenchZowner we are only a niche of the market and there are a lot of chips that go into everyday desktops and gaming systems that are built by OEM. My best Athlon XP that I ever owned came out of a damn HP laptop. And I worked with a guy who got an amazing A64 3500+ out of an Emachine desktop. I understand where your coming from and I know you were not trying to be offensive but when comments like that from people who have great overclocking skills is a put down to those who are trying to prove themselves and don't have the money or backing for the materials to do so.
This reason here is why I wish I had more locals in my area I could get together with and at least learn and even share my knowledge and skills. I know Gomeler and XMSYellowBeard tried a while back. But again some of us aren't as fortunate as others though we try; we should be encouraged even more for our dedication.
there's ya problem right thereQuote:

BrokenWall just hang in there guy. Things change and some day you will be able to bench up extreme. Shoot half the time its a lot of fun pushing older equipment to the max and seeing what it can do. Thats the spirit of over clocking anyway :)
That and hanging around with other like minded people. You have some good people where you live and prolly a few more that you don't know yet. When you got time connect up with them and have some fun !
I am sure they are like me and have tons of fun over clocking with others. As I have said on other forums my lab is open for use anytime, all they have to do is pick up the phone and call.
It's more fun sharing anyway :)

@Buckeye I have no problem with my old hardware, thats what I usually do. I have a decent old AMD Skt 754 2800+ but a really crappy FIC board that a friend had left over so I could use it for a media center.
I have no problems where I am at, I got here myself and my son and family comes first. I am having the best fun with what I have.

16 cores, 32 threads, 64W TDP...I'm a genius :rofl:
Subscribed! :D
you guys are surprising me with your imagination, :P
I'll promisse something :
If I get this, my pot will arrive here even earlier than the chip, would get it through ups international, same price than the pot, \o/
Really interesting giveaway, hope it is not an ES :P
Pat, the Atom 330 already has two dies...so 8 Atom 330s would have 16 dies :p:Quote:
