Hello people . :)
Are there any updates regarding the EU winners ? So , who is going to France ???
I'm planning to stay for 2 nights more . Is anyone else going to stay ?
So far the participants are :
Greece - Aristidis / Stelaras
Poland - ryba / Chaos
Sweden - ME4ME / elmor
Denmark - Rosty / Riska
Belgium - Massman / Pt1t
Ukraine - TiN / T0lsty
Russia-S_A_V / ANDRE
Italy-Delex / Cische
I'm going with Chaos from Poland ;] Sorry guys, but we can't stay longer :shrug:
Anyone else guys?
ME4ME and elmor are directly qualified to the European finals, as well as another team from Sweden. Nobody has posted results except me this far either, so worst case scenario, you'll have to put up with me as well.
Me and Riska is going from Denmark :)
You will stay 1 or 2 days more?
we dont stay longer, i think
Massman and Pt1t will represent the Benelux, small article with some piccies coming up soon...(in the editors mix)
Congrats guys, see ya in Paris :up:
oh and by the way, Stellios could you please make some kind of list in the openings post, with the countries/persons who participate in Paris? :)
Voila :D
Greece-Aristidis / Stelaras
Poland-ryba / Chaos
Sweden-ME4ME / elmor
Denmark-Rosty / Riska
Belgium-Massman / Pt1t
I think this @sshole will be there as well, equiped with a mic
EDIT: Jonas, are you up for an interview about Danish people? : - )
24-28th as far as I remember; not paying much attention yet; exams the upcoming week
If you go I won't go, nuff said
Heeey, I didnt even submit the topnotch pictures of the sleeping beauties nor the great morning pictures from AOCM :rofl:Quote:

Αny news from other countries?
Finland?
Just read the thread over at Muropaketti, nobody has posted anything. Qualifiers end tonight, I heard something about SF3D taking the summer off as well. Probably going to be either Sember and Junksu or Sampsa if he participates, no word the latter though. Everybody keeps their cards very close to their chests.
In Denmark the competition was very popular :)

Good luck in Paris Thomas and PJ...
Well once all or almost all qualifiers have come to an end it's time to discuss for the EU final .
As far as I know elmor and SF3D will be there :D
Are they the only guys who know the cb mod for the GTX480s ? ....
P.S : I'm not a competitor but watching the contest seems to be ridiculous if only 2 guys can bench their card high .
SF3D doesn't go (afaik). Elmor does.
No idea what the decision will be. For all we know, they might not allow hardmods to promote AfterBurner software :D
Only way to counteract is no modification to the card then and only use MSI afterburner to power it :p darn you beat me to it PJ
S_A_V and ANDRE from Russia.
Nice to see some friends once again . :)
Congrats guys !!!
Regarding the 480gtx mod , i think we must get an official anouncement from MSIHQ .
WTF, hope you joking. How about hardware guys, like me :DQuote:
they might not allow hardmods to promote AfterBurner software
TiN and T0lsty from Ukraine for MOA EU
Gimme teh hardware, my irons are heating now :D
Junksu won Finlands qualifiers and nobody knows 100% yet who comes with him :) I didnt have 980X and no money for that, so bad to compete this time. Il be back in next comp ;)
Good luck for all!
Good luck my friends. I hope you will get visas without any problem.Quote:

My teammate is my friend Kite. Because 25th and 26th of June is our biggest summer celebration "Juhannus", so you better watch out!
:up: Nice that you got a good friend to this trip.Quote:

We didn't even had an online qualification so I think nobody from Hungary. Have fun guys.I love Paris !
Congrats all who have qualified!
From Sweden it's:
Team 1 - me + ME4ME
Team 2 - Mean Machine + someone else, not yet decided
Petri approved, not bad :DQuote:

It's alright. I'll take Masbo's girlfriend. :DQuote:

One thing still not clear to me. Can we do the mods beforehand to 480 (and MB) or only in the event?
Some update from Marga:
"You will receive soon a package with all the required MSI hardware for the EU MOA qualifiers at your home address. You will not get a new set at the EU MOA qualifiers. Therefore, please do not forget bring this set in your luggage to Paris.
The purpose of sending the board in advance to your house is that you get more familiar with the newest MSI XPower board. Please do not do any modding to the mainboard itself until the EU MOA qualifiers."
The motherboard probably doesn't need any modding anyways... The graphics card does, though. Just mod that beforehand and you'll be set to go.
why on earth do they want to do that... so you have to drag an extra motherboard and GPU to the event ?
Italy: me + Cische
:)
Alex
Refresh...

pastelidis
huh?
So who has the bios for GTX 480? If noone else has it we won't use it.
What's there to say that MSI won't have the BIOS flashed to the cards? Sure hope they do at least.
cold slow bug bios?Quote:

Now we have it thanks to Hipro5 . :D

I'll be bringing a personal friend of mine, don't know if he's even registered here. He's hilarious and I should be able to teach him how to pour LN2 in time to the competition, so I'm sure we'll finish second last or so, right before the danes.
A personal friend eh?
To MSI: Please put me in a room that doesn't share a wall with the room of Mean Machine.
Good luck all and have a blast, no press from [M] present, bummer :p
Turns out even my personal friend doesn't have the time or opportunity, once he checked his schedule a bit closer. Nobody likes me, but I guess we already knew that. Oh, also, ryba's great idea of bringing a hot chick failed horribly a half an hour ago, had a quite constructive fight with my sort-of-ex girlfriend that determined she's now 100% ex gf and hence is horribly wide off the list. I do have another guy in mind though, but the way things look, I might invite Leeghoofd only to find out he's busy as well...
That must be really depressing - seeing all those overclockers having fun, laughing, shouting out loud, making jokes ... and you sitting all alone in a dark corner, staring at a system that, once again, doesn't want to post.
I feel for you!
Evil PJ, be nice
no need for him to sit in a dark cornor. If his system doesn't boot, we'll just release him in Disneyland and he'll have fun for hours! :D
Possibly even weeks. I'm actually in the process of drafting women to the competition, so I've got something to do while staying at the hotel as well. :DQuote:

That's the spirit :DQuote:

Yeah, that much I know, but what the hell happens when they realise they're supposed to do something other than just getting laid with with me for a whole weekend? :DQuote:

I've got myself a teammate, and it's a female as well. I figure that'll work as a distraction for you all, except Masbo since he allegedly can't concentrate on chicks while pouring LN2. That's according to my sources. Pretty sure she doesn't know :banana::banana::banana::banana: about overclocking, but it'll be fun anyways.
Nice , you prefer the exclusive company of some dumb blond bombshell over my ugly beardness... I hope she will violate you hard at nite :p
But the dumb blond can do some nasty things, which I think you don't wanna do :D
Have fun guys! Unfortunately we (Romania) won't be there because MSI Staff don't consider us good enough to participate :p:. Maybe next year...
It's not so much a question of preference. I'd actually rather share a bed with you than her. At least for this competition. Also, no, she's not blonde, but I think she's quite good looking, first and foremost she's nice, so I thought I'd invite her and have her do the LN2 pouring at least. Maybe she'll think it's fun, but I suppose she's in it for the trip.Quote:

I shall hand them the sword my self and FORCE THEM TO

Have you already got your package from MSI? Mine seems to be stuck today to Turku (Finland, but still some 600 km to go)!
Funny thing about it that MSI had valued the package at 60$! That's with current currency more than 45€ so I have to pay duty to get the package!
And it seems that MSI will publish they own bios for GTX480 + GTX mod guide (+ already some mods to Xpower, that I don't fully understood. What does meen "Change to register"?)!
You'll just have to change the resistor. Register is probably Taiwanese for resistor. :)Quote:

Today i got a notification that i have to pay 130 Euros for customs fees... :(Quote:

Yep, probably means change to some resitor! Good thing that they provide some spare HW at Paris:D
I think we can put these to expenses and charge from MSI!Quote:

No, just dont pay it. You just have to explain the situation to customs and you will get the package without any payment. It is sample product package, and you have to leave it in Paris after competition. There is no value for the products etc.. you know ;)Quote:

DHL was here yesterday, i also have to pay custum fee taxe ore something, and DHL only take cash, so he go again, with tha hardware :(
No issues here.
I'm not going coz of visa issues :(
We have to pay 23€ for taxes, too...
btw BenchBros (loopy83 and TschernoBill) will join the MOA EU for Germany.
I had overall value 20$ and I recived package today without any problems :) But few screws in my GTX was very bad and I must drill them to get them off from cooler :(
My friend; Ask them to call the vendor... I am sure they wont argue after a conversation with a PR staff member :DQuote:

Uk - Evocarlos / Vento1
mobo and gpu came last wed's :( no cpu to test tho
I hope there's a live stream to watch all of you...
Seems I wont be going; Unless ofcause mean machine invites a dane, lol
Firts try with Xpower and GTX480 - 480 is not recognized in Windows 7. Already tryed to update bios to hipro5's #1, but still sees as standard VGA Graphics Adapter. Nvidia driver setup won't work either!
Did try with older 9600 GSO and no probles to recognize with that.
Any ideas?
What drivers are you installing?
197.77 win7/vista 64bit
Also tryed with Card's driver CD - it's not showing on Driver tab any install selection!
E: Ok managed to install drivers from CD - did go directly to folder \nvidia\Win7_Vista64\ and setup.exe. Now 197.03 are working!
