Although I feel your pain what you and everyone else has to understand is that Asus has divisions and this is being run by Asus North America.
You get emails because you checked the box to get them.
No way for the program to distinguish between what you would like to see and what you don't.
Now if it's any consolation to you I'm in North America and I can't play either(staff) but I don't get mad about it.
It's just the rules and thats life my friend.

tajoh111
03-08-2009, 10:06 PM
Its probably North American only because NCIX is a Canadian company that ships only to the United States and Canada. Since this is likely a publicity thing, allowing country outside of North America to enter would do nothing for pulling in customers.

Its sucks for people that don't have Asus hardware, because buying a new MB if they already have an I7 to enter this competition would frankly be a waste of cash.

But that might not stop me if ncix gives us a good price on the Rampage II gene(and gets it in stock), I wouldn't mind trying that out for the lulz.

a thousand times better GIGABYTE GOOC 2009

I think you confuse the format of GOOC and the format of this Average Joes OC competition.

GOOC is a global competition that has two years in a row let teams composed of the best and brightest in overclocking to compete on a single platform and showcase tweak, time management, and LN2 skills. This Average Joes competition is restricted to North America, purposely limited to the individuals who haven't had a chance to make a name for themselves, and meant to foster better relations with the budding overclocking community.


One is a Formula 1 class competition, the other is a local Autocross competition. That being said, fire up your engines ladies and gentlemen! We want to see some new faces burn up some LN2 in pursuit of happiness :up:

The prize is being banned from XS for fake results.Don't fret, it was meant to be funny. I guess it's true what they say about black cats.:ROTF:
A seperate category with Photoshopped results would be funny though. I mean who's going to believe a stable 9999Mhz FSB, 84991.5 MHZ CPU with 128GB DDR4 on a motherboard with only 4 memory slots. It might even show up as an Asus ad.

I could get banned for writing :
"For you who are asking yourself : Why only North America ?
Answer: Because there is where the most Average Joes are to be found to participate."
That's why I didn't write it. :rofl:

Q1: Where do I find the detailed rules for the contest?
Q2: Highest memory clock seems kind of moot. I know some people that own the Dominator GT sticks and run them at around 2.1GHz. Hardly fair when their sticks are stock 2GHz. Is this allowed, owning a set of Dominator GTs and then applying for a prize? I would think we should be going for highest overclock, not highest clock period.

I do have to say that I do not see the logic in allowing ES chips...

They tend to be better overclockers, have unlocked multipliers, and who knows what other kinds of advantages over regular retail chips. Not to mention that an average person cannot obtain these legally, making ES chips kind of BS chips in terms of a fair contest. The Goat Eater already posted a 228 BCLK basically with an ES chip, but I can say almost certainly that a regular retail chip won't do this.

This is the same argument as the memory speed almost. There is no effort there. Whoever has the deepest pocket and can go out and spend on the fastest memory will basically take the memory speed contest if they have half a brain. Buy a set of Dominator GT sticks, OC them to 2100MHz and extend your hand to claim $1k prize.

I guarantee that the Corsair GTs are not going to win the speed contest ;) and I have some coming Monday so IDK what the new batches are like - as for deep pockets I am unemployed right now and have almost no income :rolleyes: so I for one don't have deep pockets - the 228 BCLK took 20 hours~ of tweaking and was not the ES just giving it up - that is for sure as I wasn't able to get over 215 for the longest time...

As for unlocked multis - you are not up on the ESs - the 920ES that I am playing with only has 20x and is limited to 2 low memory dividers :( and have yet to go over 1750~ as I cannot conceivably do that w/ the dividers given... If I choose to use my 965 ES it is just like a 965 XE - these are C0/C1 and are not D0 so I don't have that advantage

Well, either way that ES is better than your average chip at least in terms of the BCLK. I do believe that it took you a long time to get that BCLK but at least it was possible for you. Most won't even boot past 220MHz. Mine does not boot past 222MHz at all, and at 222MHz it will not actually show 222MHz, it only shows 220.8MHz no matter what. I tried everything imaginabe to get the system to boot past 222MHz and I can say that it is simply impossible for me.

Now, your ES may be the way you say but that is not every ES. Some of the i7 920 ES had unlocked multipliers though all did have locked memory multipliers. I will give you that one.

Finally, in terms of the Dominators winning speed contests...well, I'd differ with you there. I have a stick of Dominators here that will do 1970MHz easy and they are rated for 1600MHz. And these are poorly binned too. If they serve as any indication then the GTs will do quite well indeed. Of course if your chip craps out on Uncore that's a different story. I guess we need to see how good the IMC is in those guys. By the way, do you know if it is pure memory frequency contest or is it overall bandwidth contest?

Finally, I do not see much advantage to D0 vs C0, at least not my chip. Everything that so far was demoed with a D0 I can do with a C0 as well, barring stuff with the new 975 XE which does not really compare.

I still stick to my opinion that ES should not be used for contests regardless. Then again, can't really blame the ES chips, only the poor setup for the contest. There isn't even any restrictions on whether you have to run with HT on or not, or whether you have to use triple channel vs. dual vs. single. I mean c'mon...basically it is anything goes.

On a different note, who's supplying you with stuff if you can't pay for it anyway?

Yeah, I have to agree with this...the competition is kind of like a fixed competiton...

LN2/Dice/Phase allowed, ES chips allowed, no restrictions on system setup (e.g., running single stick of DRAM ok, running with HyperThreading off ok, like wth?), memory competition appears to be on MHz which means that only contention is if you are running 2000+ MHz DRAM...

I got my a$$ handed to me by an ES chip on BCLK. TheGoat Eater will take the highest BCLK for sure, or at the very least with 99.999% certainty. I do not think almost any retail chips will come even close.

I don't know if I agree with you on the cooling part. I think that should go unrestricted as anybody can get that sort of cooling, its not really exclusive. Sure some might not have the money, but it is available. The ES chips though, thats another story. Those aren't available, and if so, only to a select special few people have access. They are by no means the "average joes" of overclocking either. If you've got an ES chip, you're probably pretty well established in the ocing community with plenty of experience and knowledge. It's one thing not being able to afford the best equipment, it's another when it's impossible to even buy the equipment. I'd say all the main electrical computer components in the persons system should be retail available, while addons like cooling can be custom along with any volt modding etc.

Ok, fair enough. However because this is a competition there should be restrictions on truly extreme cooling as well, but I do see your point. Imagine the following scenario...

A local racing track organizes weekly races for mainstream customized cars (e.g., Honda, Mazda, etc.) but one day out of nowhere there shows up a driver wanting to compete with his half a million Ferrari. There is no way he would be allowed to race because that would be an equivalent of fixing the race. You know the winner even before the race started unless the driver of the Ferrari happens to crash which is not very likely. It's sort of the same thing. It is called unfair advantage and it has no part in a competition of any sort. A fair competition by definition requires everyone to be on the same or very similar level and playing field.

As far as ES chips go though my opinion is very simple...parts that cannot be obtained through regular retail channels should have no place in these types of contests open to the general public.

Calm down some.... runmc pulled 241 bclk on a retail 920 from microcenter. So ES doesn't mean anything for bclk.

ES still has no place in a contest, regardless and pretty much everyone but those people owning ES chips will agree.

ES chips are not allowed.

Memory Mhz is what counts, an Everest bandwidth screen must be at that the clock speed for it to count. If there is a match in speed, Read BW will determine.

I was told to give teh contest another week and the data drive we were on failed again.

I switched back to the original SSD's and I will try to recover the data.

I will end the contest soon...snip...

Yeah, we've definitely had our week and I was the only one who came in with results, so we should definitely wrap things up so people can get their prizes. I know dejanh is looking forward to that monitor.

Lol, indeed :p:

No, I'm sure that original contenders cannot submit results any more in that sense. I think what we discussed before holds. If you have results validated before March 31 that is fine but not after. It makes no sense anyway. Just because XS was down did not stop any of us from overclocking in the meantime.

So in short, if you have March 31 or older results they are eligible, but not new stuff produced now. It's unfair if it was otherwise. You can get so many D0 chips now that could take pretty much every C0. I've even seen some 975s around. They clock like mad.

FUGGER messaged me and said that the contest will basically run until the end of this week. In terms of submitting new results nobody said anything but there is no reason at all why post March 31st entries should be allowed. Everyone agrees on this since I remember the discussion before as well.

A few more days only :)

Well, looks like a bunch of threads were removed. So far headala, V2-V3, posershadow, and myself are in contention...

Damn you posershadow! Damn you!!!!!! :fight: I had the highest BCLK until you showed up, by 0.02MHz :p: :D

Good luck everyone!

I don't know what happened to slovnafts post. As I remember, he was beating v2-v3 on ghz. Maybe it got archived or something since it was a while ago. And to you dejanh, at least you are guaranteed that monitor, you beat everyone by a mile in replies to thread. Looks like brian y got the memory, I should have tried harder there, spent all my time on bclk and like an hour in memory.
