You're either just singing it or you're bringing it, partner!

I've set a bogey clock speed for everyone to shoot at. I'm not trying for more because, frankly, in my mind I've won because I did everything by the original deadline. I said I was entering, and I lived up to my word.

I won't cry if someone beats it. There's no question I had a ton of problems and issues getting my contest entry running well enough to get validated, but I let none of that stop me.

Anyone who whines about this and that excuse, well... pathetic is the word that comes to mind.

Well Joe, I have two reasons why I could not enter the contest. Perhaps neither are very effective:

1) I chose to be a judge instead
2) My San Diego would not post above 2600 MHz; was very unstable at anything but 2211 MHz, at least, on the quick bench test I did

**txtmstrjoe** · 08-22-08

Bah. From this point forwards I care not about other people's justifications and reasons for why they do and say what they do.

To be perfectly honest, it's not about winning or losing. It's never been about that. Rather, it's about the sport of it all. Meeting and beating a challenge on its own terms, and not comparing my results to yours. The only opponent you ought to care about overcoming is your own limit.

To not rise to that challenge is the definition of cowardice.

Don't mind me. I'm just really ornery.

So I see...

If I am bored tomorrow, I might try a pro-bono entry with my Toledo like Pioneer was planning on doing with his Denmark. I just gotta get the motherboard out of the case to do so... *whimpers.* I guess that will make me finally fix the seating on the SI-128 when I put it back. Anyone know how to stop motherboard flexing? I am assuming that my core delta is due to that.*

The question of course is, do I run like I usually do, put the case on the patio outside (supposed to be about 30º C tomorrow) or really turn up the cheat factor and drop the CAC to 15º C?

*(Though; if that were the problem running the rig on its side should fix no?)

I got a TRUE! Only $20.... and 2x1GB DDR2 800 (4-4-4-12) Corsair XMS

**txtmstrjoe** · 08-22-08

Anqt, will you be using your Ultra 120 Extreme on your AM2 rig or on your S939 machine? (I do see that you have a lapped Ultra 120 Extreme already mounted on your S939 machine, per your sig rig...)

blitz6804 · 08-22-08

As far as I can remember, he did not used to have a Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 installed on his 939. Since his Asus is out on RMA, he likely figured he will put the new cooler on when it returns. Why does no-one write out the name anyway? I hate the use of 'TRUE;' makes it sound like a 'TRUE' is the true CPU cooler.

I am with you there, boss.

The shortest I'll truncate it to is "Ultra 120 Extreme." I absolutely refuse to go along with the crowd and call it the "TRUE." For one thing, it's nonsensical when you know that the product's real name is the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. By all rights, the proper abbreviation ought to be the utterly ridiculous TRU120E. TRUE is just as ridiculous.

But meh, different strokes for different folks.

blitz6804 · 08-22-08

Actually, you'd expect TU120E would be the proper truncation since "Thermalright" since the "r" is not capitalized. I suppose you COULD say TrU120E, but that is just nuts.

In all fairness, I would not have a problem with TRU120; but that is a different product. TRU120-E just looks silly.

Now; AMD939FTW I have absolutely no problem with. Coolest acronym ever.
