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:

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:
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!
looks like an awesome time for all involved! congrats gomeler on the nice placing for only 2 bench's! congrats also to all the winners, thats some nice DDR3!
I didn't get many pictures but here are some. I took even fewer during the event.
Bringing the LN2.

Thats the first time ive seen someone pouring LN2 using a pot
Can't be LN2, his fingers would be frozen to the pot. Maybe it's dry ice or acetone?Quote:

Yea gigabyte really fueling the overclockers here. Good job and thank u!
check United team of Poland top 10 or 20 and get 'em all :ROTF:Quote:

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!Quote:

I placed 2nd in the South African competition, so so close... :( Still, the winner (Flytek) Deserved it and is the best to respesent us. Congrats to everyone who made it regardless of where they placed, i had a great time and im sure eveyone else in every countries event feels the same. :)
Grats on second place, any info on your event posted yet?
Thank you Sir :)
Link
It was rather small compared to some of the other events and we were all plagued wth problems, but nonetheless it was great. :)
(PS im the guy in the red shirt, was my 1st time with Dice if you'll believe me :D)
Wuhuuu, GF allowed me to participate in this event, so now I'll try to qualify, I will make a late entry... 8-10 or 14th of August... :)
Dinos22, watch out with such comment ;)
But its true that Gigabyte havent been very well organised in Europe.... To be honest, their marketing department in Holland is operating as effeciently as ASUS in Scandinavia = not very active.... Alot of black sheeps, its about getting the right contact person, as some a full of ****..... :down:

The comment where you clearly stated you think all Europeans are n00b at ocing.
We all know you just uncovered your true feelings, and you're not getting away with it this time.
Rofl :rotf:
fugger what did you do to Gautam
you scared him for life mate hahahahah
he's thrash talking everyone in his path hahahahahahahahahaha
Hahahahahaahaha! That is a great picture of me. I'd say that's probably after my attempted 3D06 run and the damn GPU was too cold. Epic Fail For The Lose :(Quote:

no, monitor is behind the "steam" but its black all right XD
No, I didnt get it was a joke, come on, THINK... Its not the first post from my side both of you have read, think.... If I didnt get it, I would have bursted out in rage and been rude, as usual....
My point being, exactly as stated, watch out with such comments,.... Especially when it actually was the case that Gigabyte didnt pick the top notch.... You cleaned up the "mess" a little after, yet, just think twice how people will read it before posting....
Oh, and cut the crap using that sarcastic smiley...

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:
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
hahahah that pic of Chris with his head down is pretty good
awesome work taking such a great pic :D
Come on Marc, there's no need to act so mad. We all know you actually agree with dinos on how far ahead the Aussies are. Your fellow Danes will understand if you show your true feelings. :)Quote:

i can't wait to finally meet hipro5 and the gang.........this will be ridiculously good ahah :D

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....
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 finalQuote:

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?
HEHE I understand his post now :DQuote:

Josh warns us that LN2 is flammable... :rofl:

[edit] in Josh's defense if you read Page1 under Hazards and Risks you could interpret the second point as potentially dangerous because of the increased oxigen concentration and we all know that oxigen fuels fires right heh :D

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.
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 :(
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. :)
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.
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
Think it may be time to apply a little pressure then....
Go on Johnny :D Bring the noise...no, really!
LOL....I've never seen Josh so serious before :ROTF: What's even funnier is that fruity headshot they used for his "Celebrity Overclockers" pic :p:Quote:

haha like u see mr T_M over there is the best mate i got from Aussieland. and he comes over saying OH SINGAPORE HAS MORE HOT CHICKS.
and here i am born and bred in Singapore thinking... WTH MAN THIS AUSSIE GOT IT ALL WRONG!
more hot chicks in Taiwan u jackass! and better stop it with the hot chick thingy cuz ya gf is gonna take ur ln2 pot and chonk u in the head with it!
hahahaha just joking dude! see ya in hk.... *I can almost hear Dino laughing his head off.........*
oh ya just a note about kicking the shins or asses or something.... i dont think u want to kick Dinos one... there's a high chance he'll return a favour and when he does... it aint gonna be nice! hahaha~ i aint kiddin on this one!
and my 2 good friends from taiwan and thailand! haha those guys are some of the friendliest n funniest ever! believe me hicookie and that huge 240L ln2 tank has got SOMETHING going on man! even Pt1t couldnt beat him in hooking up with that huge tank!
hoping to meet moloko soon!
lol gigabyte webmaster is a bit lazy
they still havent updated our results
It took them a good 1-2 weeks to update the US one. I hope whomever is in for Australia doesn't only find out when the site is updated :eek: Is there any contact email addy you all can bombard them at? :D
