Official Seven Forums Overclock Leader boards [2]

Oh No, I`ve been bumped to 10th

Good job Madcrate

Thanks, I'll keep this up till the smoke escapes

Then cry in my beer.

 

[NoN]

Thanks Doug.

Yeah it is a lot of volts for 5GHz really Steve, I don't think the E series were designed for Extreme overclocking but that being said I imagine a 5.2 would be possible but I really don't feel like frying another CPU for the sake of a couple of 100 MHz lol.

My daily is 4.6GHz at around 1.25V, I am currently testing at 4.7GHz and so far it appears stable at 1.310V

Wise move for that E series....until you'll turn "Mentally Insane" again

I would imagine LN2 would be the next step

all the tweeking in the world can't get it beyond that on air without killing something

See Paul @ 1.9V.

I don't think I'm going to head down ether of those paths...

Can we start a melt your Sabertooth or burn up your i7 leaderboard ??? :sarc:

Here you go

 

[essenbe]

Dude and AddRam, I apologize, but I do not plan on participating in this leaderboard. I sincerely hope that does no hurt either of your feelings, but it does not sound like a competition that interests me.

 

[AddRAM]

Oh My God Doug your hilarious :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::roflmao:

Come on Steve, as my daughter always says YOLO

 

[essenbe]

You only live once ?

 

[Solarstarshines]

You only live once ?

Yes that is what it means but YOLO only applies when something bigger is on the line lmao

I'm sure people scream this as well when jumping off a bridge with a Bungee cord until it snaps

@Doug you can count me out as well if i feel froggy with a old AMD set up that will not harm my pocket in anyway then you will see something lol

 

[essenbe]

I may partially qualify though, but not from overclocking, and not a Sabertooth. I replaced my RMA'd MSI AMD board, connected the wiring, put the CPU, cooler and ram in. When I plugged in the PSU, the board started smoking. Yes, I'm sure it was installed properly and no, the front panel connectors were not even connected and I never even tried to start it. The wiring was right and the standoffs were right. I have no idea, except MSI sends previous RMA'd boards out for replacement, like most manufacturers, so I figure they sent me one they never fixed. Don't ask me how, but the CPU and Ram survived the session. The board now resides in the local Dump, as MSI refused to discuss it with me. They did the same on another board as well. But, at least it didn't fry, or bake or melt, whatever that one did.

My Bank account qualifies as something bigger. A broken bone will heal. Bank accounts don't have that ability. At least mine doesn't.

lol that is if they Survive the fall Steve lmao but really i think i can qualify too i lost a MSI board too Blew right up in my case so yeah i can go there but it didn't kill anything else

 

[essenbe]

Solar, I don't think either of us qualify. If I understand correctly, it is a Sabertooth board melt down. Our boards don't qualify for the melt down list. I seriously the list will be very long the way my Sabertooth runs.

 

[AddRAM]

It was just a stupid idea in my head and you guys are runnin with it :roflmao:

Just proves everyone has a sense of humor

Ya I guess if we just kept it to Sabertooths it might be a short list, but we could build the list then show it to Asus, they might get a laugh out of it.

I got an email when Intel received my i7 and I got an email when my replacement was shipped on Friday and it will here today.

Asus got my board on Thursday and I have not heard 1 word from them, should I be concerned ? I`m not

 

[essenbe]

Brian, I think you can tell by looking through our benchmarking forum, we will make a list of almost anything. As far as the sense of humor. My opinion is that we come to this forum to help people and most of us do some fairly serious work doing that. So, if in the process we can have a little fun, why not? I have a sense of humor and see no problem at all with using it. I hope I never lose it either. And, BTW, I can laugh at myself as well as at others, and do quite often. Plan to continue laughing as long as I can too.

EDIT: My experience with Asus (and I have quite a bit) is that during the RMA you will never hear anything. The replacement board will just show up at your door one day. That's their only communication with you. But, you can send an email with the case # and RMA # and ask for the status, and most of the time, you will get a response. Or, you'll have better luck and a better, quicker response by calling "support" on the phone and asking them.

LOL! I don't think I'll be in this one either. Not on purpose at least.

 

[paulpicks21]

Maybe Gary and Steve can have a "most RMA's" leaderboard lol

They allow RMAs for over clocking? Or are you talking about the Performance Tuning Protection Plan?

Every part and component you purchase comes with a so many year warranty

Overclocking generally voids warranty but in recent years they have made chips exclusive to Overclocking which means even though you pushed the chip they still have to cough one up because they made it for that purpose

same with any other manufacturer in a sense you can blow up anything you wish with in reason and have it replaced now if it was on the upside of like 5 years then i would think that was just ware and tear and pretty much but still chance to be replaced if it is new enough

A chip I had died due to 1.9v

I won't go into the details but Intel replaced it and even paid shipping both ways.
