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:
Ahh, it's Benny! :DQuote:

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!!
- Ton
Scandinavian qualifying has started, 5 people will go to finals in Taiwan. Here is the competition page:
http://event.gigabyte.se/ocf/oc.php
I'm invited as press so I won't join the oc-competition. See you there.
Whats the go on pencil modding?
(The rules only disallow wires & soldering :p:)
Info on the USA event.
http://event.gigabyte.com.tw/20080625OC/USA/index.htm
Damn looks like its gonna be a ton of fun. Stupid grad party had to be scheduled for the same weekend
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?
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.
And it's in my basement :p:Quote:

Charles looks tired in the pic, and hicookie, as perverted as always :D
Congrats on nice event, rooting for some of my Northern European friends in the Scandinavian Round! :yepp:
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!Quote:

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.
A toast for the homies that could not make it, Jake, Jason and Vince.
The first power loss knocked Denny out, he never recovered.
Thanks S7e9h3n for the image.

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.
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
Here's the real kicker, that was Ross' first ever LN2 session :D
Thanks dinos, luck of the draw on CPU's. I was crying inside when I ran Nature...@ default card clocks :rolleyes:Quote:

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:
Mark- You have to show me who you are. I can't be sure :)
Maybe someone write names to that group picture?
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 loved the tri-core, ended up being the board right? :DQuote:

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
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:
Hey man, let me and Gomeler know when you are in ATL! :welcome:Quote:

Sweet tactic to take you out of your game.Quote:

Ill post some video's later tonight.
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.
- Ton
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.Quote:

Yes they did, really the best of everything in LA :toast:Quote:

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
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 :)
- Ton
:upset::dammit: nothing for europe
anyway :cheer::cheer: :)
mop, speak to your local Gigabyte reps for details.
That gun was a computer?!?! I thought it was just a prop the entire time I was staring at it :p:Quote:

There is an event in the Nordics.

Fugger, let me guess. Did DJ Colin from Gigabyte provide the music during the event? :rofl:
You mean jam-masta-brix?
global village- Europe :) :rofl: the only thing i mean is that i would go to watch all this ppls trying to get to Taipei ;) (i'd love to go excellent vacation prize for me <3 :))Quote:
