Sandy bridge was the fun time overclocking. I miss those days too when you sit and explore higher frequencies your chip can give,managing temps,memory's primary,sub timings and squeeze every bit out of it.

If you think those days were fun, you'd have loved the late 90s. Sandy Bridge overclocking is pretty boring in comparison.Originally Posted by xpower
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Rule 1A:
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
I was told by a moderator (on the condition of his anonymity) that StyM was an AI spambot specializing in collecting mostly non-xtreme news, it was poorly coded and occasionally picked up xtreme news.
The unit (StyM) begun malfunctioning and started to think that it is human; FUGGER was forced to go to the past and put it down.
True.
Especially the Opteron + DFI LP nF4 era.
And then the first Core 2 Duos.
Damn.
But Sandy had something very nice as well.
It was the first CPU that allowed you to pre-test it very quickly, easily with icy water and know if you've got a capable chip or not.
Still remember my good 2600K when I first run it with just regular ice in the pot and made it to 5.86GHz CPU-z...

I miss the days when a Pi 32M effiiency challenge at x.xxGhz frequency would kill my entire weekend

When I first posted on this forum. I've been gone a long while with real life things but I can't believe it's slowed down to a crawl. I remember when the forums were insane. What's the down tick?
I always came here for creative ideas and well spoken knowledge on new parts coming out. Now where to go?
Project Obsessed being updates currently after a 2 year hiatus FML.
• - Asus Maximus II Formula • - Intel Q6600 G0 @ 3.6Ghz @ 1.272v • - Visiontek 4870 512MB • - 4GB Mushkin Redline @ 960Mhz • - Corsair HX620W Modular Power Supply • - X-FI XtremeMusic • - MM U2FO • - Gateway FHD2400 24'' w/ optional speakerbar
Watercooling Loop : Custom loop. Will update later.
New Project on the Horizon (with sponsors to boot)

It was sad to see this post. I normally get a happy birthday email from this group. I started coming her pretty much from the beginning of the group. I remember being very proud that I made the 2gig club back in the days of cutting the bridges of brand new CPUs to hit that. Learned a lot and lost a few chips back then. I made my first phase change cooler with the help of this group. Tons of good memories. I hope the newer ones can find the same fun from this forum as I did. From here I went on to moderate at Abit forums back in the NF7 days. Seems they have taken my avatar I had for many years too. Sad
