The I hate about Benching Thread

[MSIRawZ]

Hi Guys,

So I thought we could keep a rolling update each week or every time we bench about certain things that drive us up the wall when we're benching, half awake and/or drunk lol.

I'll start it off..

The thing I hate about benching is when.. it's 2am, your absolutely shattered but you keep plugging at it as you know you have a good CPU/GPU and your running a long bench like SPI 32 or Vantage, and the fecking thing crashes (after what feels like an age when you last started) 1 minute before the end..

RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you bye a cpu, only to sell on ebay the next day because you got no numbers on the lottery.

I hate superpi32 when I'm tweaking the memory timingd

It'll get 2/3 of the way thru then give me a not round error. GRRRR

I really need one decent bench-table with watercooling options.Switching psu and gpu from one case to another is really growing to annoy me

Sandy brigde setups....

YES! I still hate them the second time round. Way to easy to get up to 5Ghz though

i hate it when you test a setup on a lower multi and it shows signs of being faster than before only to not be when you up the multi to the max speed :robin:

i hate how its cold in the wind but the air temp is still bloody warm too.

Installing Windows.. bored..

Tiny W7 and a fast SSD. 5 min to install

Installing full version for pcm05. Tiny copies sometimes don't work and/or limit scores for pcm.

I hate time itself.. lol.

Time flys too quickly when benching and I always run out of time!

Saturday will be a great good bench day here in Denmark

-10c outside temp

Great temp for my SS unit and for the rest of my system.
