Same mounting, no cold bug before -120°C (info from belgian team)
Hmm, I noticed now it says nothing about two cards. I assumed it was two 4870X2 in CFX that would be used. If it's two cards there won't be any benefit with better cooling, or perhaps even any OC at all. If it's only one card however there might be some difference.

Marcus, if you prefere aircooling please give me your vga pot ^^
Sigh, so I hear. :-/
dam1stm and jmax, go and have a good time at this event regardless of how it turns out, that's what's important, such competitions will never truly be fair anyways.
i know jmax... he will go to this contest.... french boys have bad "caracter"^^ but with good materials, french boys make good job.
I had info, that we will bench only with one card... maybe someone change it, I don't know.

So many bad points in this AOCC Berlin :
- some teams / people get all the informations whereas others know very few things (not equal)
- some people have time to prepare them by benching the right products on the right mainboard whereas others don't
- some teams have LN2 pots, some teams not enough pot (cooling help for OC and OC help for points despite a low overlocked CPU...)
- one only benchmark who "cancel" the chance to compensate a bad cpu by a good gpu or tweaking. (3D06 + Super Pi 32M + Vantage or 3D03 would be far better...)
- the only goal for Asus is to break WR instead of promoting their products in a fair and skilled competition
Since AOCC Berlin isn't a contest but just an event to break WR using ASUS products. Although I love ASUS mainboard, I'm not sure to want to be an ASUS tool in their marketing activities... I will give my definitive answer tomorrow (after a good night) but if I don't see major changes (real contest instead of a common WR breaking on Asus products), I won't be at this event...

Time for preparation and bench is almost the same . LN2 pot for 4870 is very specific since it's a small mounting (not compatible nVidia for example). We have LN2 pots but for nVidia / classical ATI mounting.
For information, what price and sort of pot do you have ?
Guys, we will be there at sunday night too (at ABION hotel). Who will be there too, send me a contact info to PM, we can arrange some Pre-action BEERFEST around.
accommodation place is not so important as the pre-action. ygpm with my details.
There seem to be some missunderstanding, to sort it out:
Competition system config:
Rampage Extreme
2 pcs EAH4870X2 (Quad CFX)
QX9770
Tagan 1300W
Mushkin DDR3
+ all other hardware needed.
Benchmark will be only 3DMark 06, to make it fair for teams without ln2 pots for 4870X2. Highest score wins.
The fairest is to cancel LN2 pot for everybody to make a contest with same cooling setups...
We should be in hotel by 22:00 / 22:30 on sunday evening. Would be nice to know where you guys are then to make a
i will be @ the airport @ 19h25 After i dont know !
i ll replace gpu pots by fresh belgian beers
***** Visit us on PCWorld.fr *****
we need some support from a local OCer where we all could have a meet & beer
