I've bought 2 motherboard/CPU combos from this online company, but I can't
think of their name now. They test and guarantee overclocked kits. It had
a sun or star in the name - sunstar, sunshine, blacksun, blackstar........

OK to answer my own question, I think it must have been sunshinestar.com.
The reason I couldn't find them is that apparently they've gone out of
business. Too bad.
 
hmmm wonder why?.....

I appreciate the way you asked in a respectful way,
I'll tell you ...
because of 1 word replies....and I don't appreciate being told how to communicate by anyone.(and the fact that my disability of my
extremities makes it more difficult to do)....if someone would so kindly point out the advantages of it instead of coming off like a
nazi..... Please don't give me quotes from the 'Book' it was written by self proclaimed 'normal' people.

I think its obvious what I meant....but ok There disadvantages of OC'n electronics of any kind even in the hands of experienced
people that have 'burned' a few in the past to get where they are. THEN say Ok I'll produce a niche market company and supply OC'd
boards to people that don't have the knowledge to do it themselves. Then have to RMA or whatever all the systems/MB/combos that come
back with various cooling failures and umpteen other things that can go wrong. User error comes to mind. Even if its the users fault
and the supplier doesn't offer a repair, 'repeat business without it you die. It was probably a good idea and made some money, but
by using good business statistics, it was going to be an uphill battle..then the MB produced made Oc'n way easier and supplied
manuals on how to do it...see where I'm coming from? .and if you were in the US (even worse 'californicate') the odds were stacked
against you, even if you owned a legal brothel...LOL/..my prediction as it were....I could be wrong...they could have sold it and
moved to Bermuda....
 
I wonder why you give a shit how anyone posts, in addition to the fact that
you can't read what was quoted.

Oh I can read just fine. Some people just can't communicate. The reason
you don't top post is because when some people top post and some bottom
post, it becomes a total mess when quoting. People can drive on the left
side of the road, or the right side. Either work, but not both at the same
time. Get it? Usenet convention is bottom posting. So unless you want to
look like some clueless "hip anarchist", you ought to do the same. But go
ahead and look clueless for all I care.

Oh brother. I suppose you don't like being told what side of the road you
can drive on. Another wannabe anarchist.

No, it's not.

When manufacturers make products, there is manufacturing tolerances built
in. Some products come out "high", some come out "low". This is true
whether you're making golf clubs or CPUs. Some CPUs come out able to work
faster than others. I don't buy because I don't know how to overclock. I
buy because they have done the testing, and assured me that the processor
will function correctly at the stated speed. I pay them to do this for me,
because I don't feel like buying 5 processors, testing to see which will run
the fastest and most reliably, and then selling the other 4. I don't do a
volume business like they do, so I can't afford the overhead.

Yes. Maybe that's why. But that argument applies to other businesses that
haven't gone out of business. And some businesses with "good business
statistics" go out of business. Sunshinestar had a good product, and I
bought from them multiple times. The systems have been running well for
years. And their price was pretty low. I suspect they went out of business
for the same reason that tons of other online businesses have stopped.
 
I post, as appropriate. Both bottom, interspersed, and top. You don't like
it? Use your kill-file. People who ride the top-posting vs. bottom-posting
bullshit look like total idiots. Enjoy looking like an idiot nazi.

Ah, you're one of those guys who gets your jollies by doing trivial things
the wrong way to try to annoy people. Have fun.

Yep, cya. If you weren't what you just accused me of, you would have let it
go. Your reply proves it. As I said, I post appropriately. And, as I
said, enjoy being viewed as a 'posting-style' nazi.

CYA chump. Killfile is updated, on 'send'.

Forget top or bottom posting. FAR more important is trimming what's
quoted. This message is a shining example, if I do say so myself.
 
And what was your point? Neither original replier, jeffidioc, nor myself
trimmed....

Or, are you just wanting to propagate this into a month-long flamewar?
