Hey, buddy

Dun get me wrong! But can’t agree with you on this one.
Unlike those MFT guys (they do OC for living, so no surprise) who can gain access to & obtain free CPUs/hardware from industry sponsors, I need to buy my own. I just buy/select CPUs in many shops like other so called “normal” users do. It has nothing to with the store my Team is affiliated with. FYI, all CPUs exported to HK are sealed & not in bulk.

As I recall, you were once binning some 20pcs of free AMD samples in TW. Sorry…I dun have that privilege…NOT even a chance in my life, nor will I buy 20pcs for binning, no way, jose! I’d rather spend that kind of money for a trip with my family.

For me, finding a good CPU & tuning are both important & enjoyable. I think normal users do look for nice chips all the time too, dun they! Frankly, I enjoyed the process more than the result this time. Thanks to Flankerp who made all this happened…!

I also prefer not to excessively bin so that my results are indicative of what the "normal" user can find with "normal" acess to cpu's

Not to mention if I always had a clock advantage over everyone I would just get lazy and not tune stuff, nor does it make it enjoyable for others to try to be competitive
