Oh geez.. Ok, well.. I hope you will pardon my ignorance guys, because I did not mean anything towards anyone or anything like that.. no I didn't know.. I did see the hwbot page and was pretty impressed, pretty sure I swore. I feel like a tool. Dam new guys. I was just wondering out loud! lol.. Sorry.. No, see you are pro too. You have all the vast information at your finger tips you can apply on the bench. All these guys and gal will help you with anything. Just gotta ask FreeAgent = pro.

I am sure we all know one or two people that could be "persuaded " to join up You would be surprised at how loyal people are to their original teams. I find very few that team jump even if they're on a shit team. I try to recruit all the time. I'm not surprised one bit. Look at how loyal I was to OCN, Mr. Scott and ShrimpBrine commented how many times about Warp-9? At least half a dozen times each, and even when I was absolutely livid at OCN for things that had happened (short version: don't promise things, get people to do things they don't enjoy and carrot-stick them, only to backstab their months of effort by bringing in someone at the 11th hour, and then... I'm gonna stop there. Yeah, I still get pretty worked up about it, and even then, Mr. Scott had to patiently wait something like a month while I worked on personal goals before I finally said yes). Gawds was I loyal to OCN, even though the actions that went on in private chats had me literally tell the head guy running OCN that nope, I'm done, I resign as staff effective immediately, and that was a rather long email explaining my position. No idea if anything came of that in the long run, and frankly I don't care. I wound up losing a bunch of respect for several people on that team too, because of how they acted. On a totally unrelated note, I really need to install a few benches on the new gaming rig now that it's up and running, after looking up some rules again.

Having the " priviledge " to know at least 50% of the Elite and Extreme groups, and indeed some in person, I can reassure that OCN collected so many valuable ( points wise ) members with bribary. Sorry I can't enter into more details. Never mentioned anything even to my dear friend and captain. The same answer came from all my connections - How much and what gifts shall I get. I can confirm this, however I also cannot say much about it, partially due to that collapse at work a while back annihilation most of the memories of OCN, which in some ways I'm thankful for. Actually, sounds funny, but thanks to that collapse killing off some things and causing other side effects (I stutter a lot more often (but it doesn't trip me up like it used to), and holy hell do I get scatterbrained now, with the ADHD going into full overdrive more often)... Various passions have been steadily coming back. I won't be going sub-zero, but there's been strong temptations as of late to dig out the bench stuff again. I still miss the hell out of Tony (Rasparthe) though, guy was a really good help getting things rolling out. Same with Neurotix, even though I kind of had a personal falling out with him a while back.

Nothing to apologize for. You are part of the team Shawn. @ WW - Tony was a friend. We talked all the time. I miss him too.

My first cooling pot came from him, with the instructions of "have fun" and "let me know if you want to keep it" (I did, and wound up paying him for it, naturally). Receptionist at work was wondering how on earth a small package could be so heavy, so I took it out of the padded envelope and she still couldn't understand how it was so heavy. Her reaction when I got my Dragon F1 was completely priceless, because that one really messes with your mind, especially since it initially feels a lot lighter in the hand, and then all of a sudden it seems to get a localized gravity well because of how all the weight is right at the bottom.... Good guy, really helpful, and did a lot for a lot of people. So sad he faded off into the shadows once work got stupidly busy, but all I hope is that wherever he is that what he's pursuing is fun and enjoyable

Just did my 1000th sub tonite, Really enjoying it even tho im limited on cooling and dont have anything fancy. Whilst this whole covid situation has been a shit time im getting a postive experince out of having time off at least. Ive finaly had time to sit down and relax and enjoy the stuff ive bought as i only really had 1-2 days a week to actualy do stuff, no way will i be doing full time again 40-50 hours a week ran me down.
Learned quite a lot over the last 6-8 months , what boards i like dont like etc. what memory is hot and what is not. 775 and 1156 are far my fav platforms at the moment, i do enjoy X58 but i lack a good set of memory to enjoy it properly. Plus eveything is mostly cheap which is good for me rn as had to quit my job to move here. Going through the older stuff , mostly the stuff people dont care about. Lots of points to be had. Want to do more old platforms but all my good stuff is back at home and with current travel rules i aint going back to get anything till this covid crap ends if ever.

I have a spare cooler and some decent 3x2 sets. Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme circa 2007, and I have a 3x2 set of OCZ Reaper HPC. 1600 6-8-6-24 1T, my board has always hated them. They are PSC. You would have to find a bolt thru kit for the TRUE, I don't have a spare mount.
