great job, both of you!

[Bastiaan_NL]

Everytime I look at HWBOT this song pops up in my mind. Pretty sure not everyone likes this kind of music, but it is kinda funny..

( @J7SC_Orion I spend more time listening to classical music than this stuff, just so you know  )

 

 

Also, some hardware showed up some time ago but I haven't played with it much.
For now it's on the ever growing list of projects, but 'soon' it'll be used to overclock some hardware even further!

...good ol' Elmor is getting rich ! - Well deserved, though.  

 

I sometimes wonder whether I should get some of Elmor's goodies for the new Epyc (ie. 96 cores/ 192 threads). With 12 channel DDR5, memory won't be an issue (apparently also with better micro-code than the Ryzen 7K). Just get a decent (> VRM) workstation board, slap on huge water-cooling (or a pot), add Elmor's goodies and bingo

Oh I bet he is getting rich, I got some stuff for free too so you know what that means

 

Now you are talking, you getting a few goodies from Elmor and using a pot is music to my ears!

So I totally forgot to post here that my fellow Dutchie @server075 became Numba Wan in the Rookie League!
We had a bit of fun together and now he is hoarding used old hardware on the Dutch marketplace and looking for every bit of extra performance..

 

On a different note... After switching CPU's many many times it had to come to this eventually I guess. I dropped a CPU in the socket of the Z690 Dark K!ngp!n board. It was sticking to the TG contact frame and for some reason I didn't hold it down. It only dropped about 1cm, but at a slight angle and managed to bent 4 pins and break a piece of plastic which separates the pins. That plastic is somewhere below the pins, and I can't find it but I can see it missing with my magnifying glass. I did a little test after restoring the pins but it didn't work (kept boot looping. I assume the plasting is preventing the pins from bending into place once the CPU is mounted. I'm very sad and pissed, but I guess that's how things go. At least I had a reason to buy something fancy for now...

 

It's not even easy to notice, I was hoping for the best...

 

And now the new, very cool and good working board:

@Bastiaan_NL I would contact the manufacturer. They can probably fix it for cheap, or maybe for free if they want to be nice since it's a very high end board.

...sorry to hear about the 'little accident'. I used to drop LG 2011 HEDT CPUs onto the socket and bent pins with great regularity...got quite good at bending them back (I put some tips into a thread at EHW can't locate right now, like using a carpet knife as a back-stop when bending pins back with a needle). Anyway, the plastic piece you mentioned might be a game changer re. insulation issues.

 

...might be worth checking with EVGA re. socket fixing cost.

This is something on the to do list for this year

 

And on a more positive note:

[damric]

Quite an accomplishment

^I'll second that--heel goed gemaakt, vriendje! @Bastiaan_NL

 

and u2, bud! @Avacado

@server075 grabbed first place in the Novice league. He's been working hard the past few months collecting hardware, improving his overclocking skills and figuring out better cooling solutions for his hardware.
We've been on stream together a lot, usually he has to listen to my rants about stuff that isn't working or cards I've blown up, but in the mean time he improved his results over and over again.
Congrats Michael, now keep that gold until you move to the Enthusiast league!

Thnx bro you infected me with the OCD over clock disorder. I really like seeing the improvements a good tweak and some hw like cooling gives.

 

Ren my first costume waterloop today with great success. Having the radiator on a board so I can place it outside help a lot with the temp haha. 

 

Soon I'll be placing shunts and volt mod like you do @Bastiaan_NL

...and it gets worse and worse before it gets better --- better seek medical assistance now

I'm still waiting for the moment you put that cool stuff to good use again bud, even if it's just for fun and not submitting the results

 

Also, I recieved a message that gave me the chills (in a very positive way):

Haha no, this is the board with the messed up socket and a Dutch overclocker fixed it
