Mmmmmm, I think it needs a Kiwi :D

[[XC] gomeler]

I want to go back to Taipei but the competition will be stiff. It'll be my first time benching on my F1EE with LN2 and my 2nd time benching LN2. I sadly can't take my cascade on the airplane, something about explosive gases and it weight 85 pounds :confused: :cool:

[TiTON]

Hey Guys,

The other regional qualifiers seem very cool. I can't wait to see how the US qualifier goes. I will be benching on Saturday, and look forward to meeting all the US compeitors. This is going to be very fun!!

Scandinavian qualifying has started, 5 people will go to finals in Taiwan. Here is the competition page:

I'm invited as press so I won't join the oc-competition. See you there.

[oohms]

Whats the go on pencil modding?
(The rules only disallow wires & soldering :p:)

Damn looks like its gonna be a ton of fun. Stupid grad party had to be scheduled for the same weekend

[ZenEffect]

looks like i finally get to meet the man i sent a bunch of nonsense pm's to!

according to the rules... soldering for vmods is OK! guess it really helps to be an electrical engineer eh?

[loonym]

My X48T-DQ6 is a dream to oc. Awesome voltage options, not sure it even needs any mods! The only place I could really say the bios is lacking is in the gtl tuning but it doesn't seem to hurt it any. That comp is gonna be a blast. :up: The 9600gt should be an easy vmod too and a fun card.
Looks like a pretty tight benching schedule and a great assortment too. Very well thought out contest.

Thank you Sampsa... I had no idea about this, not posted on ANY danish pages... I will sure try to enter the competition..

[T_M]

Sampsa, actually 5 nordic people will compete against each other and only 1 will go to Taiwan.

"Five (5) people from the qaulifying part of the competition are selected by our judges to continue to the final event where they will meet and compete against each other with identical hardware setups. The winner from that event will get a free trip to Taiwan to compete in the World final of the GIGABYTE CUP 2008."

Good Luck Xs Members In This Comp

Wow that sux! I suggested chips be pre tested since any cold bugeed chips would be out of the running before they started but didn't think about failed cores. Wished I was able to make it out but really had too much going on. Looks like it was a blast!

[Charles Wirth]

Thanks Jigabyte and Corsair for hosting the event, I am sure everyone else did as well.

Grats to Ross and Mark :oscar: for placing first and second.

Im happy to place 3rd, time was on my side for the 06 runs.

[Charles Wirth]

A toast for the homies that could not make it, Jake, Jason and Vince.

The first power loss knocked Denny out, he never recovered.

Haha thanks for pouring some out for a homie. I think your the first to kill a core never heard of that happening. Heard of two going but not just one. Hey Charles I might be out in Vegas in a couple weeks.

[guess2098]

with charles' magic hand..... yes. he made the 1st intel tri core

5.4G 06 cpu score is 6500. 3dmark2001 50k LOLz

[Charles Wirth]

Thanks and you are welcome to drop by and bench, hopefully I have LN2 handy.

It was good meeting the overclockers they brought in, almost all new faces.

Habib, brought a vapo to competition. He pushed his quad core to 5ghz for 06, in bios it was at -10c. He registered for XS today.

Quite a few F1 pots from K|ngp|n, A couple aluminum mousepots for gpu's, Mark ran LN2 on GPU.

[TheGoat Eater]

Charles - looks like you had a lot of fun... hope to make it out to nvision if all goes as planned - would love to see KP bench and meet you guys :)
Gotta go to bed and go to work... new contract :D so I can afford to fly out to San Jose! though IDK... I could use that $$ for the upcoming E8600 :D

EDIT: the avatar <<<< was just too good of a pic to not be a avatar for a while :D

[G H Z]

Here's the real kicker, that was Ross' first ever LN2 session :D


no results in '01 and AM3 and STILL second
not bad at all mate :Der

Thanks dinos, luck of the draw on CPU's. I was crying inside when I ran Nature...@ default card clocks :rolleyes:


LOL but i love my tri core.

I just now figured out who you are :rofl:


A toast for the homies that could not make it

Love that pic, nice shot Stephen :clap:

[boostedevo]

Here's the real kicker, that was Ross' first ever LN2 session :D*cough* beginner's luck :D


I just now figured out who you are :rofl:Ditto.

It was way cool meeting everyone this weekend! Since most people introduced themselves by real name at first, it took me a bit to figure out who was who and put real names to screen names. So for the record, I am "Ross"...obviously, boostedevo here at XS. I don't post a whole lot unfortunately, but I am here very often ;) I am looking forward to meeting more of you in Taipei in a couple of months and hopefully benching again at some point with those I met this weekend :up:

Thanks to everyone for the congrats and congrats again to G H Z and Fugger :up:

[SF3D]

Mark- You have to show me who you are. I can't be sure :)

Maybe someone write names to that group picture?

[[XC] gomeler]

I had a blast at the event, placed 5th and only scored points in 1M and AM3. I wanted to play disc golf with my 9600GT when I was done with it, 800MHz GPU was a struggle :rolleyes: Had a great time meeting everyone and I hope to see everyone again at the next US event :up: Now time to sift through the screenshots to see what I saved :yepp:



i love my tri core QX9650 lol

5.4G with 06 cpu score 6400 LOL

got a DOA QX9650 tri core

I loved the tri-core, ended up being the board right? :D

One thing I want to say, everyone from Gigabyte did an amazing job putting this contest together. They were always very helpful and clearly worked very very hard to make everything work as smoothly as it good.

Big props to hicookie too for all his hard work in constantly filling up all of our thermoses with LN2. :D

Wait till you see the September event then, its gonna be huge

[sno.lcn]

Wow, the event was a blast, I just now got home. I got to meet and bench with such awesome talent, and I got to cook a motherboard. Add that to all the LN2 I can use, and I don't see what could have made my weekend more complete. That poor cpu was never the same after the mobo roast though :shakes:

Thanks, I definitely will. I wish I had been into the extreme side of benching while I still lived up there full time :)

Sweet tactic to take you out of your game.

Ill post some video's later tonight.

[TiTON]

Yup.. this event was truly a blast. Gigabyte treated all the benchers Very Well!!! The continous refill of LN2 was just awesome. It was awesome to meet and chat w/ all the great benchers at XS in person. Can't wait till next year.

[harleybro]

I think your the first to kill a core never heard of that happening. Heard of two going but not just one.

Nah my first QX9650 did that months ago. When OC'd the third core dropped out. Took me awhile to try and figure why 06 runs gave me about 3/4 of what they priginally had. :rolleyes: Running at stock no issues at all with all 4cores. So off to EBAY it went.

Thanks for the title change Fugger (I assume) and nice vids ;)

I can't seem to say enough times how cool it was to meet, bench and hang out with everyone. It would've been nice if it were 1 day longer for us to freestyle bench. I was so out of whack on Sunday, I barely felt like watching you guys OC and couldn't believe some were back down there at 6am LOL. Total diehards :up:

Ton, I was trying to figure out WTF that dual minigun thing was all weekend. I had no idea that was yours until I saw you wheeling it out on Sunday. I thought maybe they were going to use it to finish off any partially dead h/w :D

[TiTON]

Hey GHZ

It was a pleasure to be benching at teh same table as you. I was so jealous seeing you push 5.7Ghz.. by the end of the comp.. mine barely did 4.8 :P

Hey BoostedEvo -

Congrats on teh win. You did great on all the benches, and it was even more impressive to hear it was your 1st time on LN2. And best of luck in Taiwan!!!

Yup.. as for the 2 case mods back there, they were both min. Gigabyte asked me to put them on display during the contest, which I was more then happy to do. I didn't people would notice it much, since this was an "OC" event :)

Hey Gautam,

It was nice to meet you over at the contest... All the benchers were focused on the contest, so I didn't want to break the mood.

If you walked up to the case, people would have known. I put a little sign that said: "Please Do Not Touch!!! - Ton"

LOL.. well.. i guess the President of Gigabyte didn't see the sign:

[dinos22]

Dinos22 that is the first rude thing I have ever seen from you.

ROFL dude
i don't think you understood what i was saying

we did an overclocking event in Taiwan recently for Gigabyte and all the European overclockers invited except for Pt1t were some no names which never saw LN2 or pots or really overclocked........in fact a few of them were underclocking their systems during spring break. What my point is is that GIgabyte should really go find some proper overclockers from Europe and there are tons of great guys including the ones you mentioned

Heh. You guys. No canada competition either! NOt quite a global thing, yet. I thiunk most real good clockers are Europe-based..something in the water, I think!

ROFL dude
i don't think you understood what i was saying

we did an overclocking event in Taiwan recently for Gigabyte and all the European overclockers invited except for Pt1t were some no names which never saw LN2 or pots or really overclocked........in fact a few of them were underclocking their systems during spring break. What my point is is that GIgabyte should really go find some proper overclockers from Europe and there are tons of great guys including the ones you mentioned

lol how could you even thing i would say something crazy like that hehehe :p::up:

lol what a retards :D :rofl::ROTF:, was there some1 from Poland ? if there went ppls like me no wonder :D, we got ryba, MaSell, jmks, proste71, and many more GooD oc'ers ;) if you get someone form street and say ey yo come here and OC :D no wonder :yepp:

The guys from Europe for the most part were hardware reviewers and gamer-oriented. No worries though, they did a lot of testing that the rest of us weren't willing to do, we preferred 5+GHz :D

Coldbugs and coldboot bugs were all different due to the different processors. Mine had CBB at -98C and CB at -104C, pretty decent. My 9600GT had CB around -10C though if I had to guess, complete fail :D I can't wait to see coverage of the final event in Taipei, it'll be nuts!

*yawn* What are we complaining about again? If you took a comment out of context just ease up a bit. I think we are all getting pissy over the comment about Europeans not representing OC'ing at the last Gigabyte event? If so, it is true that for the most part they weren't hammering out 5.5+GHz runs like the Aussies but they sure as hell tested the FSB clocking and memory clocking on those boards. I'd say they did a fantastic job covering that realm of overclocking. We know Europe has plenty of guys that throw 2.0volts at 45nm processors and cackle when the magic dust is released, they just weren't there last time. No matter what though, we all had a blast and the boards were thoroughly tested/blown up. So can we get over this and focus on other things like hot chicks and fountains of liquid nitrogen?

Now, grab a beer and take a swig, it's the weekend. Kick back and enjoy yourself, there's plenty of time during the work-week to complain and moan. I know I sure do it enough :)


s7e9h3n, I had to gank that picture and project it to the wonders of Facebook. It's just too classic, shows what failure looks like :p: Must hang this on my door to remind me :cool:

[dinos22]

i want gigabyte to pick some of these passionate guys like Beier so that we can see some REAL overclocking on the final comp if it has to be that Gigabyte cannot organise preliminaries in Europe :D

looks like at least Scandinavians are getting a proper comp to find a good OCer :up:

i don't like the idea of picking favourites. we have to do it the hard way in Australia as well and qualify (which actually involved breaking 8M W.R. just to enter) and then beat of some serious competition to go to Taiwain............that's what everyone needs...........competition..........just like USA guys, just like Scandianvians etc etc :shrug:

Beier dude just freakin let it go. i clearly did NOT mean what you're putting in my mouth so take a chill pill mate

if you guys knew what names i saw Asus is going to have end of this month for their comp in Singapore you will know what i mean

Anyhow, hopefully for Gigabyte it will payoff with the qualification, because the last event was a joke on many networks/communities... Best 32M result was almost 2 min worse then a well tweaked run at same frequency, what was it.... 5.6ghz and 10min+ or so?

EDIT:
No idea who made it, but was one of the top results from the event, and many ppl wondered how the heck it was possible....

[massman]

Dinos, I agree ... European overclockers suck, they suck hard. Especially those from Belgium ... aweful really aweful :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Anyway, I like this manufacturers-and-overclocking-contest thing, altthough I hope that it'll be more than just a marketing business.

they are going to have great overclockers in the final
my issue is that some regions actually pick ppl and from last time choices were ok i guess but not for this kind of context obviously which was my point. If they pick the same ppl they are doing all the skilled guys a deservice.

Beier, I don't think anyone would seriously bench a benchmark with a buggy bios with crappy efficiency which is what we had (keep in mind they received delivery of actual chipsets like 10 days before the event started) :rolleyes: >> i didn't event bother knowing what i can expect if you know what i mean. You know somehow i still feel the sarcastic undertone in your post there as if you are somehow upset by wrongly interpreting my post and now talking about a different topic. If you are i am surprised really considering that i've explained it and many ppl have gotten it now including your countryman here.........are you still sour mate? :shrug: If anything you should feel the opposite as i am critical of Gigabyte's decisions where great overclockers should be given the opportunities here rather than those who are most beneficial to local Gigabyte reps.......Do you understand?

[dinos22]

is this thread called
Gigabyte comp
or
Gigabyte roast :D

[cpuz]

How many Gigabyte contests are there ?

I've heard about a public contest, that is supposed to be explained here : http://oc.gigabyte.us/ (seems the server has troubles).
There are around one hundred entries in the CPUZ database with "Gigabyte_Contest" prefixed names.

[T_M]

Gigabyte is holding national competitions in many countries, and the winners will go to Taiwan to compete against everyone else who wins.
This thread was created for the US national one, but has evolved into the worldwide thread really.

lol josh was the one that put the blow-torch into my pot and made a huge fireball in his shed, and he thought it was so funny he did it twice!

It boggles my mind why the UK seems to never be part of anything on the international overclocking scene; we barely made it to the MSI one and never seem to get invited to any of these parties :(

[Ch@pS]

What confuses me is that South Africa had one. Now no disrespect to my country or the overclockers in it, but Europe and the UK have overclockers the are more well known and in most cases more experienced.

Not that im complaing, it got me an E8500 to replace my old E8400, but still. :)

[T_M]

Blame your regional marketing department.
In fact, i would be tempted to get a high profile guy to email them to complain.

Its like the US group, they barely support OC'ers at all.

[dinos22]

Tim is right
pressure has to come from users from different countries as a lot of Gigabyte regional offices don't realise which guys to get and how to even reach the right ppl

[Johnny Bravo]

Think it may be time to apply a little pressure then....

[K404]

Go on Johnny :D Bring the noise...no, really!
