i7-3770K + ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z + LN2 = 6274 MHz

Its too small of samples "ES" overclocked (and posted) to justify E0 is better/higher clock than E1 or stepping 9 retail

agreed

i think you guys might be surprised and E1 might be better,

you have to remember for the samples that have been binned so far, a large portion are E0, compared to a small portion E1, so simple maths would tell us there is a far greater chance of finding better clocking chips in the large E0 part of the pie, compared to the tiny E1 slice

A0-fiasco blah, the only thing A0 ended up being better at was 32m, retail chips came through and clocked great

...at some point people should be "pro-enough" to enter their scores on unavailable hardware without points...

how about we ban any retails that are amazing too, like the ones stewie and you were playing with in the past? lets also ban mods to GPU, because after mods they are no longer available to buy from retail shops

thats what the pro league is there for, so you can compete in whatever league you want and not complain for the sake of complaining

just my 2c worth

Well, it took a year for retail to catch up. That's a long time to wait for one piece of silicon to equalise...BUT..... I agree that's what the Pro league is for. It's for the guys with access to the crazy stuff.

funny how you mix up "discussing" with "whining" and "complaining".

Anyway somehow you didn't get the point, mixed it up with retail things, so no need to take this any further...
