Neither do 99% of benchmarks out there. Yet people do them. You know why? Because some people have hobbies that differ from you.

Yes, thats correct - but "most" benchmarks do show results that you can actually compare as a "normal" consumer

the vast, vast majority will never touch LN2

But if thats what youre into, thats cool - It just doesnt really mean anything to people, even most overclockers as even the Ryzen chips clock like mad on LN2, but kinda meh on Air/water (aio at least.)

I'm confused at the point of your post. If it doesn't interest you, then that's fine, but you don't need to voice your disapproval. "Normal" people do a lot of stuff that doesn't interest me, so I just ignore it and go about my business.

Overclocking is definitely 'not normal' btw, so you aren't a normal consumer yourself ;) LN2 overclocking is just our hobby taken to the extreme limit for fun.

Wait are you saying people can have hobbies that don't include him, purely because we want to?

I am also confused at the point of your post, if your post doesnt interest you, or mine you, why would you post a post to reply to my post?
Am i not allowed to have an opinion and voice it?, why do you feel the need to reply to my first post if im allowed to?, if you dont want me to reply to your post then its possibly not the best idea to reply to my post in the start.

This is a post.

Wait are you saying people can have hobbies that don't include him, purely because we want to?
Wait, are you saying because i dont share the same hobby you two do, and mention itll be a literal housefire if you dont use LN2, then i should just get out?, purely because you dont want anyone else to say whats true?

Because at those clocks it is a housefire without LN2, just like the Ryzen would be.

And just like the Ryzen, i bet it wont clock anywhere near it for "normal" high end air/aio cooling

But alas, lets keep voicing our opinion about others telling us to not voice ours because we disagree with them

You're welcome to whatever opinion you have... But if you don't like extreme overclocking, don't come into a 'ln2 record breaking' thread thread just to say you don't like extreme overclocking. Make sense? If you have something useful to add then that's cool, but just "normal people don't care about this stuff" isn't exactly useful.

Thread title does not mention "LN2", but alas theres LN2 in the article yes.

Its useful to discuss how its going to be a literal housefire without LN2, yeah sure LN2 might show the very extreme end of potential OC - but as for "normal" users that OC, im just pointing out that its going to be a literal housefire, and wont reach these clocks without it.

Seeing as how Ryzen clocks on LN2 vs non LN2

But hey, thats just like - your opinion, dude.

With respect, a proper response to your post would be "duh". I mean 'derp' that ambient cooling wont get it there.

Do you hate on dragsters? I mean, what good are those as a daily driver??? Thats simply what it is.... racing computers in benchmarks. A hobby. Everybody knows...

The point is it was aleady abundantly clear this isnt for normal conditions...this clearly isnt for you, and thats ok. Zero need for that kind of commentary against it, however.

He probably doesn't get it. He probably doesn't like really hot, hot sauce either. Just another bland sheep in the batch. The shit gets old quick. Seems like every single time someone does something one of these clowns has to shit on it.

Game over AMD!
So the 1800X at 5.35MHz scored 2.454 that means it was 23% slower for one fourth of the price of the i9.
And that's a consumer chip on a consumer platform, threadripper isn't even out yet and :laugh:

Thanks!

Your math is abit off....one fourth of $999 ≈ $250. The 1800x after the latest price cut is at $469.

The 8 core version of skylake-x has beat that 1800x score by +100 points and that chip is only $599.

You seem very upset at me - just becasue i stated some, albeit derp facts, but true facts.

Why is everybody so but-hurt on somebody who said he didn't like or finds irrelevant the N2 extreme cooling??
I personally like N2 cooling scores, but those are just some random meaningless numbers for me. And please, again, pretty please, stop comparing N2 cooling with extreme sports, including Dragsters or whatever, this is so different is mind blowing.
Again, congrats to the occ guy, but you know what it would be interesting? The same competition done with normal air cooling solution, would love to see some real numbers that I can apply in real life using the settings those guys were using. Now that would be really interesting.

The dragster thing was spot on.

Move along now...we get it. :)

Thats just your opinion.

No that is what a fact looks like. A statement of fact would be me saying you are posting your personal opinions. Go ahead and back what you said with factual information. Try.

Show me the house fire. The "literal" one.
