Ouch Stasio you're right - that's way longer than I thought!

Wrapping it up now guys, I plan to for sure be done and back by early next week, hopefully this weekend but my luck says probably not!

This song comes to mind Fleetwood Mac - Tell Me Sweet Little Lies (**1980s Best English Songs**) ~LYRICS~ - YouTube

I think we have all moved on the bigger and better things in your absence. When you come back make sure to bring something to clean the cobwebs out and dust.

Ohhhh NOOOOO........a new Lsdmeasap review will be required.

Btw,
120+ days.........and counting.......

[boondocks]

Wow, 4 months already. What have you been doing that takes 4 months? Where are these reviews? Is the madman black or are the windows painted?

[Lsdmeasap]

Yes, OMG!!! Guys I am VERY SORRY about how long this is taking!!!

I never expected it to take me this long, maybe 2 months at most, but there's just SO MUCH testing and benchmarking involved. Add to that the MANY hours of failed benchmarks when trying to figure out the overclocks speeds and voltages (For each device - CPU, Mem, GFX, ect) that I'll use for each review, redoing whole rounds of tests (many times due to incorrect settings only noticed later), and just overall amount of benchmarks I've chosen to use on each test. Never again will I do more than one item at a time, when I review only one thing I can be in the forums as well, everything I took on at once this time is what made that not possible for me.

To add onto all of the above, I was selected for a very extensive and involved hardware beta test for NETGEAR, so that didn't help either. I'm doing my very best to get this all done ASAP so I can get back into the forums, I miss helping you guys assist other users, and I really miss our overall communications on these forums. I consider this place my second home (First online), and I hate not being able to get in here each night to be with you all! I know, sounds mushy haha, but it's true, you guys are all my friends and I love being here helping you to help others. Just wanted to let you know a little about how I personally feel about this, my absence here probably bothers me a lot more than it does you guys, I really hate it and wish I could work faster on these reviews!

I'll be done shortly I promise! I had to redo a whole round of tests again over the weekend, so that took up my time that I planned to be finishing things up, so now I'm trying to wrap it all up each night after work during the week. Hopefully this week I'll get it done, I think so!!!

Hope this at least explains a little for those that think a review is a simple task and is just a bunch of pics and a few benchmarks, it is in NO WAY a simple thing to do, unless that review is a @ stock speeds review. It would be nice if it was easy, but for me at least it's anything but, especially when trying to do more than one at once.

All my tests are done now, hopefully anyway haha! I'm no pro at excel, so graphs/charts take me a while to do, and then edit pics and write out the review is all I have left. Well putting it all together takes time too, but not nearly as much as the above mentioned things, but anyway the main part (benchmarking) is done now, so I'm hoping to wrap this up quickly so I can join you all on the forums once again!
