dang.. wow, that's really tempting, how much better is the 7970 than the 7950?

ETA: Actually I just did a google search of it.. it appears I can overclock my 7950 without even messing with the card all that much, to basically perform as well as the 7970 at clock.. so maybe it's time for me to look into overclocking my 7950 without even messing with the voltage?

P.S: I will need 1 more fan if I even think about OC'ing though.. need a fan for the top of my case

Your physics score is insane compared to mine.

8800 vs 8300..

I have a lot of work to do this weekend, really need to bring that physics score up. That just shows u I should have purchase a binned chip instead of this 8320. The 8350 is hitting 5ghz@1.6V on a 4 phase board... Compared to my 4.9@1.62v on an 8 phase.

Good job Mann, great OCs on a 970 platform.

Thank you sir. Yeah I can't wait to see what it can do on a 8+2 board.

I can OC mine to 1125/1500 on stock voltage.

Surprised it hasn't been deleted yet. Specially with Chuckens recent appearance. But I'm sure he though...." Is there any possibility that there could be hidden porn in a 300 page PC gaming thread? " then laughed his arse off and left in peace.

I think chicken knows its either:
a) keep this thread in tact
or
b) have the board completely over-run by Master Race topics.

easy decision imo

yep plus I think most of us have accounts on OCN and we could just boycott if they killed the thread.

The five of us who post in this thread can make a change!

One day I wish this board would have its own site like the SECR. Instead of teams you have Xbox,PS4, Wii, PC, and OT sub-boards.

That would be fricking hilarious.

Seems like a legit topic for the help board.

Think we need more traffic and posters.

I have wished that too. That way we can keep the shitty sports related poster like cp from migrating over

no, just no. This place is fun the way it is and adding more personalities would ruin the dynamic.

We could require current posters to have multiple personalities.

We would need more traffic if we ever wanted to separate the gaming platforms into separate boards. Too many sections can kill a forum. But yeah, I like it how it is.

We could use this as an opportunity to get a tech board that people always want
