Can someone please point me in the direction of a good youtube of overclocking for noobs. Do you use some software? Also, how can you tell if you have a "golden" chip(Tea Bag, I'm aiming that question at you has I have heard you mention it before)?

What mobo do you have? best option is to search youtube for a guide, eg:

'asus overclocking guide'

A golden chip is simply one of many ways of saying you have a processor that overclocks well when compared to the average overclock obtainable by others using the same processor. The only way to find out if it's a good one is to overclock it.

anyone had any golden chips?

waiting on NTMK to post a CPU-z validation on his 2500K.... 4.8Ghz @ 1.2v. couldn't get it stable at 5Ghz but I think it was a board limitation and I wasn't really trying tbf.

I also had a 960T unlock to x6 @ 3.6Ghz @ 45°C... it idled at 20°C all on a xigmatech loki. didn't bother pushing it further cause I gave it to my brother.

worst clocking chip I had was headshot's 2500K. dunno if I was overlooking something cause I was *severely* hungover but I couldn't get it stable at 4.2Ghz.

my 2500K runs comfortably at 4.8Ghz on my z77 extreme6 but won't do it on the p67a gd65 been getting bsods @ 4.6 but not sure if its related yet.

haven't even powered on my 3570K yet

Yeah, being able to watch movies and stuff while mining really takes the boring part of it out and gives you some decent passive income. It's good that you have a buddy playing too, always makes it more fun, especially since he's picking up your ore from jetcans which reduces the chances of it being flipped by someone.

Aye, we just had a session. Made around 2.5mil each. Getting close to buy ofspray now. Still will need another 30h for training . Btw what slots for mining those big ships use? It's weird to see those orca ships with no turret slots?

The orca is a mining support ship. What you'd be looking at are the mining barges and exhumers. You'd want to go for a Retriever/Mackinaw if solo mining and a Covetor/Hulk if you have group support. Procurer/Skiff are designed mostly for dangerous mining, as they have the highest effective hit points of all the mining ships.

I think you mean GNU/'nix thread.

*nix thread is correct in this instance, because it only applies if using GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd.

Do you really see GNU Tools supplied with any of the BSD's? Or god forbid, If someone is using OS X (which apple say is unix certified) you don't see GNU/OSX.

So, I think in this case, you are incorrect because Linux is not the only alternative operating system available.

I await your response with eagerness.

Oh for goodness sake, stop digging up old comments!

its funny, that comment is 2 years old has has been brought up on more than 1 occassion.

Lads. If I try to plug in other eircom modem in to my line would it work? I just want to see if it's modem or line fecked.

I presume at least should show up dsl as red?

I just wonder if eircom modems are somehow eircom custom models that are assigned for a line? Or they would work as any standard modem/rooter?
