ENTERPRISE

Welcome to EHW. Looks like Mr @damric has been spreading the word!

We can split it up as 4x £25 prizes

History lesson time lol. The initial V-bulletin migration honestly wasn't what damaged OCN. I mean sure, as with any change there was frustration and some losses. Huddler (the platform OCN moved to) was actually decent and the owners were community focused and were working with myself and the other management to bring back any lost functionality and fix bugs. They were actually exceptionally quick on fixing things and making adjustments. I cannot really find much fault with them. We were making some great progress. Then came our troubles. Huddler became EOL as a platform. It was a proprietary software that was no longer going to maintained. Bugger ! Huddler was then purchased and we became part of the Wikia group. This didn't mean a platform change....but we did see stagnation as dev work etc had come to a standstill. Ironically it was only a short time after that Wikia re-shuffled their company portfolio and decided that tech forums such as ourselves were no longer a good fit....Sigh. Here comes ANOTHER move. OCN was the sold to Verticalscope which was running its portfolio on...get this, the same super old version of V-bulletin we initially migrated away from. This meant OCN was migrated back to V-bulletin, but with that meant we lost EVERYTHING. All the features we had managed to get back thus far with Huddler...poof gone. This is were you would have started to see the mass exodus of users and slow down on OCN. To make matters worse, we couldn't get much work done to restore OCN after the move to Verticalscope as they were already planning to mass move their entire portfolio to a custom fork of Xenforo. So we stagnated for ages, with nothing unique that made OCN what it was, that was the REAL damage. We eventually migrated to Xenforo which is the OCN of today. The rest you can figure out (I cannot go into details)

@damric put down some prize money for £100 from myself. Thanks!

That sucks to hear. I guess Linux will come second priority to something like Windows or even MacOS until the market shifts

That makes sense. I guess then when considering Linux, you have to do your homework to make sure your hardware doesn't have to use closed source drivers, if you are looking for a more trouble free experience.

On the surface, It's not. Perhaps this is more a thing because its the server market ? Unsure.

Out of interest, how are Nvidia drivers on Linux then?

That is an interesting insight. Seems crazy to think that MS made alterations to something, especially security critical and let it fly under the radar. I love the idea of Linux but because of work and my need for things to "Just go" ive stuck with Windows. Linux has come a long way and it is great, but just not their yet for me and as I say, that is just my sticking point of needing software/hardware to just work.

I didn't make it to the list Overclock.net Ducky Shine Edition DK9008S is my daily driver.

Yep we certainly got some clubs

Yup I knew it would be in that price bracket. There is no place for this product. Its advantages over the 3090 are very small and the price is just whack! I know people will buy it so they feel they have the best...but that feeling is probably going to be the biggest advantage of buying it lol. Rant over.

Hey bud, welcome to EHW. I like to think that we have some of that "original formula" from back in the day "Seems" ! Right that's it, no soup for you!

Blimey, I will have to check my notes lol but the voltage was super reasonable considering what speeds I was getting.

Well I think for my list it will be short, the showstoppers for me were: Pentium 4 3.4Ghz (Northwood) - Loved this as it was a great clocker, and stayed much cooler than the newer architecture "Prescott" Intel i7 4790K - Loved this as it was a great performer (still is really) and I got mine binned from Silicon Lottery and I had a 5.1Ghz sample which was really great.
