I think it's a bencher thing, not many of us around...although we got a few more guys interested lately. I like those open comps for that, got me hooked up a while ago and you learn about efficiency and stuff.
I also hate when a record gets published as front page news, and people start saying "what's the point? is that thing 24/7 stable?" and what not. mad.gif
"Benching is boring, pressing a key and watching a bench play doesn't involve skill"

Those posts used to bug me too. I would comment now & then to the effect of 'why post to say this doesn't interest you? If it's boring, click back & read something interesting.'
One of the mods pointed out that if it wasn't for the people who don't get it & comment anyway, there would be a news post followed by a couple of posts saying 'nice' or 'cool' that would get lost down the page in no time so no one would see it anymore.

So now I try to look at it like that, at least the people complaining keep it bumped so I can see it there when I log in.

Ok well it is final! I'm getting the MVE!!! It's going to be so nice owning such a nice board! Do you think I should upgrade my RAM? I'm only running Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 Low Profile. Should I get some high quality "platinum" RAM? Any suggestions? I want to upgrade everything in my rig to the very high quality for the most optimal performace.

I'm not looking for anything super expensive. I'm not too knowledged in RAM but I think 2400 or 2133 would be a little of an improvement right? Would this affect my CPU overclocks in a positive or negative way?

Also, a lower latency is better, right? My current RAM is at 9-9-9-24 2N so should I look for something similar to that except at a 2133 speed?

...again, a question of budget etc, but the MVE (I run it) will pay you back royally on RAM...it has several different pre-set 'modes' for any type of RAM...1600 is a good start, but if you can go for at least 8 if not 16GB 2400 (or even higher), that board will put you at a whole different level...and in its Bios, Ram settings go up to 3200 MHz biggrin.gif

...also leave a few bucks over for a SSD as a boot / game drive if you can...

Since I used one simple precaution, it never happened again no matter how crazy my settings were before a crash thumb.gif

EDIT - ...and the MVE comes with two full onboard bios' anyways, via a small switch smile.gif

Would you care to share this secret? haha

So could I just switch BIOS's and then switch back to solve the BIOS bug with the MVE?

Well I need low-profile RAM because of my Noctua NH-D14 lol. Maybe I should just wait until I upgrade to water cooling to get new RAM?

...I'll PM it to you tomorrow as I promised to post it elsewhere first smile.gif

...as to Bios switching, if it would be a straightforward Bios bug, you could do that...but it isn't that...

Plan on going with water? I just feel like the board is getting wasted on a D14.
