    WTB: Nic(er) LGA 775 Board

    Hey, I have a q9450, but I only have a crappy old single channel ddr2 board to go with it, so I want to get a decent board for LGA 775, no real preference, just PM me with what you have! Mostly just for some retro stuff, LGA 775 is the gap I have in my hardware.

    Well, I'm the consumer side, not much, but the x299 sounds really cool because of just how many unlocked cores!!

    1366 x58 Xeon Enthusiast overclocks club

    The only thing about x99 nowadays, at least, what stops me from trying it is board prices + ddr4, especially quad ddr4 kits, it's just a bit of upfront cost. Honestly though, I'd really really like to try x299, but that is RIDICULOUSLY expensive, even compared to x99. Either way, just some goal...

    FS: Dell Latitude E6420 (quad core!)

    I have a dell latitude e6420, the battery died, but I have an i7 2720qm and 8gb of ram, just not using it anymore. I repasted it as well. Could probably make a pretty good basic server, but I have no use for it. Also, a 128gb SSD. Comes with 65w power adapter. $70 shipped (a bit heavy) USPS...

    I have an MSI Big bang! Xpower, and man, they board is beefy. I run a W3680 in it normally, since multiplier oc is convenient, and my modest OC is like 4.2-4.3 ghz in like the 1.25-1.3v range, just for sake of cooling. I do have an x5675, and an i7 950 (that clocks amazingly, 4.4 ghz at like...

    What's the worst luck you all have had in the silicon lottery?

    Yeah, for me, the "worst" ones are just the ones that are like, average to slightly below, since for most silicon, that just means you hit a clock wall. I am remembering now a phenom ii x6 1090T I bought a bit back, and the results made me pretty sure it had been degraded by the previous owner...

    Hey, I don't need anything special, but I want one of those worthless GPUs that can still play retro stuff, like crysis. I was thinking like gts 450 lines or similar amd stuff, maybe a 470 or 570, but those are collectibles to my knowledge, not what I'm looking for. I just need something that...

    Hey, I've collected some pretty good "retro" ish platforms, and I have a few CPUs, but in the case of lga 1366 and AM3/+, basically any CPU, even the ones that are super common and undesirable, still are fun for me to overclock, so just hit me up if you have anything, I have a few things I can...

    New milestone: I nuked a windows install with crappy memory overclocks

    I don't know, 1866 mhz on memtest is just erroring immediately, I've gone to 10-11-10-30, still erroring. Could also just be my ram kit being mediocre, there's a million things, lol.

    What's the worst luck you all have had in the silicon lottery?

    Wow, even v3 xeon 16xx chips are unlocked? I didn't know that, I thought it was only v1 and v2. That said, maybe your 5820k was one of those "high leakage" chips, where, they run really hot and gobble voltage, but they can still hit high clocks with enough cooling. Also, high leakage chips are...

    What's the worst luck you all have had in the silicon lottery?

    Yeah, I remember, I think it was anandtech, but their review sample for haswell topped out barely over 4, they got a chip from the fab dumpster, and apparently Intel changed some of the binning techniques around haswell that allowed all that variance.

    What's the worst luck you all have had in the silicon lottery?

    Well, I haven't had a lot of experience, but I remember I bought both a 2600k and 2500k used, expecting to "feel the sandy bridge magic" and I ended up with chips that walled at like 4.3 ghz... No 5ghz for me. Also, I had a 5800x that just absolutely gobbled power and temps, and did not want to...

    Just saw an interesting board on eBay

    Hey, I saw this board on eBay, and yes, it has bent pins, but at my first glance, they look nowhere near as bad as some other boards, just asking you guys what you think of it, since I don't have a lot of lga pin fixing experience. This board is really cheap too
