I can't manage and run this or anything, Bastiaan and server075 should being the HWBOT team captains. I remember doing some competitions on OCN, they were seasonal. Like 4 times a year. I participated in one called "Freezer Burn" back in 2020 or so, there were prizes like packets of Kingpin KPX and they had 15, along with a memory kit and something else. Well, I did pretty well in it in all 5 stages BUT received no prize. They had like 15 packs of KPX and barely 15 people participated, yet I never got a prize Still salty about that.

Super Flower Leadex VII XG 1300W 80 Plus Gold ATX Fully Modular Power Supply - ATX 3.0 Compatible - Micro Center WWW.MICROCENTER.COM Get it now! Leadex VII XG is fully compatible with Intel ATX 3.0 Specifications, supporting up to 200%... Also have this on the way since my Seasonic Vertex GX won't power on anymore, we thought it was a short somewhere but its actually the PSU and I've only had it for a year and 3 months or something. Hopefully this Superflower does it's duty powering my rig folding, and hope there is a minimum of downtime.

Those Athlons had no L3 cache. The Phenoms do. I get your point though.

Japanese snacks Dorayaki, Calbee hot and spicy chips (these are the bomb) and Pocari Sweat which is the most popular sports drink in East Asia and South Asia (it sort of tastes like a watered down Lemon-Lime Gatorade) Got them from yamibuy.com. Instead of having to drive an hour to Mitsuwa market in Arlington Heights.

You'd need to buy and throw in a Phenom II x3 720 BE or something then, and overclock it.

I found a really good overclocking guide for Kaby Lake that includes memory and uncore OC, and has suggested values for overclocking ram for the CPU System Agent Voltage as well as the VCCIO voltage, so it gives me a rough idea how much to increase them to try and get a high, stable RAM OC.

What I'm getting is 3200MHz c14-14-14. I run the same kit in @bridgypoos rig at 3733MHz 16-16-16. I've run it at 4266MHz c19 before out of ratio just to test, and it was like 15 dividers higher than what it's rated for. I'm wondering if when you ran 4200c16 if you tweaked secondary and tertiary timings at all, or just set the primaries and speed. Also what processor/gen you were on. Wondering if you upped IMC voltage at all too.

Yeah this would be great!

This is awesome. Thank you, E.

So, because my mom's Kaby Lake box has some ancient form of Hynix DDR4 that won't overclock at all, I ordered some of this: Amazon.com WWW.AMAZON.COM Single rank B-Die, 16GB. We actually got a kit of it off eBay for $30. Including box. So my question is, what speeds can I reasonably expect to get on Kaby Lake with this memory? Do I need to mess with uncore at all? Do I need to up IMC voltage and to what? What should I aim for? I'm pretty good at Ryzen memory OC but never really done Intel. Can Avacado help? @Avacado Thanks everyone. Just want to oc the memory as much as possible but I need a starting point to aim for.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, this is awesome, I guess I will be doing my mom's i5 box. It only has 3000MHz ram, but I have settings written down from when I tuned and overclocked it. It can do 5GHz for benching but daily it gets run at 4.5.

Yeah I was having this problem a few days ago.

I'll try to participate on AM4 with a 5900x if allowed. Do any of the Intel stages include Kaby Lake i5s? Because that's the other rig I have. My personal rig doesn't qualify for AM5 being X3D.

I'm highly interested in the Ballistix RAM for my mom's box. It's Kaby Lake and currently has 3000MHz G.skill ram of some sort that won't budge on the speed at all.

Thank you firedfly!

Great run guys

Pokemon Black is a great game. Has one of the best regions (Unova I think) and a really good selection of new Pokemon. It also has a decent amount of endgame stuff to do like the battle tower in Black City, and the battle subway where you do 3v3 Pokemon battles. Mario Kart DS is good too. Ya gotta get Super Mario All-Stars for that SNES if you like Mario games.

@speed_demonyou've been added. The SNES is my favorite console of all time because it has all the RPGs I had growing up like Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Lufia, and FF. What games do you have for it, and what games did you play on it back in the day that you wish you had? Also, the modded DSi thing. What games are you playing when you play the DSi? I have a 3DS and the ability to play DS games too, I usually stick to RPGs, the DS has a lot of good ones. I would highly recommend checking out a game for DS called Soma Bringer, it has an English translation patch so make sure you get a version with the patch applied. It is basically Diablo for the DS, and was made by Monolith Soft who now makes the Xenoblade series for Switch.

Thanks speed_demon. Will add you to the club later!

Yes, in my Coursera Graphics design course we were taught in the first week to iterate, iterate, iterate. There are some things Snakecharmed pointed out that I can fix, and some that I can't. To fix the aliased circle, I could do a outer glow filter in white but with a high opacity so it's a more like a white line with a 2px blur on the outside of it. I can look at some other things, but I can guarantee there's not much I can do about the EHW logo letters not being rectangular. To wrap an image around a circle without some distortion is hard. I couldn't figure out how to do it in GIMP, and as stated used a website to do a 180 degree bend. I could probably go less on the bend (like 160-170 degrees) for both and put some stars in between, too. Also, in December 2022 when I first wanted to do graphic design for the site and started this thread, all we had was "Extremehw" for the forum. I pointed out putting just that on merchandise would not be great and it needed .net on the end. He said the original logo designers had disappeared and fallen off the face of the net. So for a whole month I went back and forth with him using a similar font in Linux and manually adjusting it til it mostly matched the rest. In GIMP. In about 3 1/2 weeks we settled on one he was satisfied with. The point of the above paragraph is that I don't have the original font used, so I have to use my closest match one for the "Pushing it to the Limit" in this image. It had to be stretched a little bit vertically to match the height of the Extremehw logo. We'll see if E likes it at since he just PMed me. If he does, I will fix what I can and itetate again.

See my edit I just made, please. And don't think I don't appreciate the feedback, I'm just not a perfectionist nor a professional. I'm not really sure what I could do to fix the issues you pointed out, but I don't think they make it garbage and/or unusable either.
