Things that make you go Hmm....

Bummer Witchy. Today is a day of great loss. R.I.P. little guy.

That's a bummer Witchy, with lick you might find a good 4790, maybe....
Ya your guy's a d**k, for my 35 it's 40-50$ and that's CDN. It just depends on the price that day. But I take it to them.

 

[Witchdoctor]

yea, a 6GHz 2c4t 3D chip will not be easy to replace.

Was going to get another 4770K as most 4790K's are junk from what I can see,

But decided to go with the 4790K anyways so I could can compete in some 2D's

Grabbed a 4670k as well to throw in my z87m , Will let me do some 2d and if good will be good for AM. 01, 03 & 05 and Catzilla

Hoping one of the two is decent

if not will have to grab another 4770K i guess

Probably out of the game until March

I need to come up with a dewer and make an ln2 attempt with the 4770k and 4790k that I have now. the 70 isnt a very good chip at it will only do 51 4c/8t at -30c and will only make 54x at 2c
havent even tried with the 90 chip as its a voltage hog and prolly wouldnt get far anyway

 

[Witchdoctor]

You can rent them
I think that is best
If you really like then grab one

 

[dejo]

my only experience with ln2 was when we did the bench party here. we did order 4- 180liter dewers for that and had a blast. just hard to justify the price of buying a dewer, but would most likely bring some boints my way that I have been losing rapidly over the last couple years

 

[dejo]

and sad to hear of your chip, very sad to lose the good ones.
the best 4770k that I had, I killed delidding it
should try some dice on what I have now and see if there is any gain over the ss

 

[Witchdoctor]

probably some gains on DICE and you can control loads better

Yea, Dewars are expensive, good to have if you are into it, but if only going to use a few times better off renting

That's what I did, I rented for while.

For me ln2 is half the fun, using the SS to me is boring as you just sit and watch

In my case dice was 100-200MHz gain comparing to ss ( depends from test ).
