We got a break here in Chicago finally. About 80f tops with low humidity. Actually turned my a.c. off. Rest of the week looks like fair weather. Phew.

Dropped things from 37C down to a much more enjoyable 25C, so was quite happy about that. Apparently rain is a good chance all week now, which I'm exceptionally happy for, since it means I can paint, as well as bench!

Awesome. Hope you dont mind I ask.... How come you're not on our benchmarking team? Short version: I want that 3k power points achievement. Slightly longer version: because I take bloody well forever to accept an invite (A certain somebody mentioned a few possibilities a while after I left OCN's team) Longer version: Still kind of sort of debating about whether I want to rejoin a full on team or not, but odds are once I reach that goal of mine I'll actually talk with said totally mysterious person about that offer ^_^ (because I know I'll be seeing a lot of those "team best" scores go poof, and I like achievements, and I'm almost to the 3k one, and with a weekend session I could probably get it). I also should probably decide if I fully enjoy benching or not which is probably the biggest thing that's held off any particular decision one way or another. I also like it here, it's nice and relaxed, helpful, and all sorts of neat topics ^_^;;;;

Offer still stands when you're ready. You know how we are, and you like it here. Only waiting on you man.

We don't fight over each others points. Friendly comps at home are just as rewarding. My two "no pressure" cents..... You should just have fun with it. I was only curious and had no idea Scott had already offered! You have some really nice overclocks though. I flipped through your pages at hwbot. Impressive to say the least. You will have no troubles with a 3k achievement. just as long as you are here enjoying yourself, I'm happy with that!!

I couldn't resist being a tad silly about it all ^_^ the team points won't really go poof lol. They will properly forged within your team. We don't fight over each others points.

You will have no troubles with a 3k achievement. just as long as you are here enjoying yourself, I'm happy with that!! True, while some might be surpassed by others, I suspect a good portion of them would still remain. I just really want that darn achievement so I can go "oh, hey look, I got 3k, joined a team, and then busted my ass to get back up to said 3k but this time 'for real' " ^_^ Friendly competing is a lot more fun in the end I figure, because I like the push to do better, but not Mr.Scott is the reason I'm on the forum here, as he gave me a shout over on HWBot's forums a while ago. As for the overclocks, many thanks! I'm proud of them, as some were difficult to acquire ones, and others were all "oh, somehow I held gold with a 4770k in something for like six months yet I've done nothing with the system other than game on it heavily" (x265 stuff, lol) I was lucky in some ways, as being the coffee delivery guy for the place one buys their dry ice... Uhm, let's just say I usually wound up getting 4x what I paid for, or it was a case of them filling up my cooler and telling me to have a great weekend... No idea if they'd still do that, but either way, was nice to get 2-3 days worth of dry ice for $25 CAD. (My cooler is modified slightly, was a basic... 40 or 45qt that I chopped up a 1" sheet of pink rigid foam insulation and gave it 2" all around except on the top, and then used the dry ice bags I'd accumulated over time to line the inside of it)

Been having those afternoon T-Storms with a vengeance lately and it's supposed to get kinda bad Saturday, we'll find out what it amounts to then. @ Whitewolf: Do what you have to do for yourself, we'll be here if and when you're ready.

@whitewolf - I have about the same size cooler. The bottom cracked open when I had purchased some 20 pounds or so. The outside froze over night lol.
@zila and bones, The time is 2143 hours. The storm is still 10 miles out but a nice sized storm. Lots of good lightening west, South west.

I've found a good deal on a P45 board (GA-EP45 DS3 for 11.50€ shipped) and 5 e8400s ready, now I just need a RAM kit to add to the combination. Gonna see what I can find there I think I'll have enough time to participate a bit

Also found some DDR2 locally... Overpaid for it, but I guess it shouldn't be that terrible. Now to wait on the board to arrive and decide how to cool it...

I have got a set of reapers just like those they do about 630 @ 5-5-5-15 one thing I like about them is they usually pull slightly better times than my D9 chipped sticks just setting the primarys.

Nice set of Reapers Ground, those should do well for you.
Good to hear you nailed down a good 775 board too, although you can still find them ATM I can see those getting scarce and more expensive before too much longer.

Ooooh, first gen Reapers I'm envious... Mine are at least second gen, where they nickel plated the tubes because of possible corrosion issues. Love how they have a built in fan rest on them (aka set fan on top of the dimms) - I can't remember what my pair has done, but I was sure happy about them back in the day ^_^

There is a DFI P45-T2RS which has been tempting me for a month on classifeds for a while now, but I‘m already getting another x58 board next month, so no budget for that. I‘ll keep an eye on mid-tier P45 boards at <30 though...

I guess the 33€ I paid weren‘t that terrible then, still feel like I overpaid. Asked the guy in the local shop if they had any high clock (1066+) DDR2 left and they grabbed this from the back... couldn‘t leave that behind...
