So we need two LN2 pot for one 4870x2 card ?Quote:

also i should be able to post a workable design up for everyone to be able to make :up:
you are right in P45 OC contest, but what are you planed for Freestyle contest ? can we use our P45 OC contest in freestyle ? I need corsair Dominator memory from the first contest.Quote:

if i recall all the kit from the p45 oc contest will be available for the freestyle event as well...also you may contact GB if there is anything special you need for the freestyle event.
the blocks i'm designing now will work for most cards...recent nvidia ones, ati ones, crossfire if you have two of them...and will also fit the X2 (possibly a separate holddown will be needed for the X2).
they will not fit with SLI if the slots have only one empty slot between the cards...they are too big to fit tri-sli
i will post full design pictures in a short while...hopefully some constructive comments from the top guns here can be put to good use :up:
ok here is the design...any and all comments welcome...please bare in mind this is not yet final as we'll only be checking the naked X2 this weekend.
i'm not wild about the mounting design but it should work and we couldn't think of something better while still getting as much mass in.
surface area is over 150cm2 and for a modern gpu block it will be heavy.
the holddown for the X2 is not ready and may not be needed at all...it depends what might be in the way on the X2 pcb.
why you don't want to use default Base hold down ? in this picture shows that it seems enough strong ( picture dedicated to 4850)
Going to be a blast, its surely going to be fun guys
ARH - i can't see your link
that holdown on the drawing sits between the block and the card....there is no backplate
the idea is to not have to remachine the block every time someone changes mounting hole spacings
it has been dry ice tested on an 8800ultra but i think this block will have to be narrowed to miss the capacitor on the standard 4850:
can anyone get the dimension indicated in the pic (horizontal distance between the centre of the mount bolt and the edge of the capacitor indicated)...scuze the quality :P
And Ekberg will be there harassing you as well. Even possibly myself. :)Quote:

An article from the Swedish final:
http://www.techsweden.org/index.php?view=IEOLBJ
It's in swedish, but many pictures.
The contest was to overclock an QX9650 as high as possible and verify the "stabilty" with Pi 4M (The time don't matter).
cool, now another team comes out for the final taipei :)Quote:

Nice event, but 5k doesn't pay even the flight ticket...They realy assumes overclockers sux w/ this.... any other world sport competition prize it's a lot higher... An its not related w/ bilionaire hardware brands like gigabyte, Intel and corsair...
Rise the price!
It's not like you'll have to pay for the flight and hotel yourself. $5K USD isn't exactly bad when you can do whatever you want with it. Not that everyone will receive that kind of money, but the worst thing that can happen is that you get a nice, paid experience. :)Quote:

Looks like it's gonna be me and FUGGER for the second USA team :D
hahahahah as long as there is no discussion on anything computer related you're in luck heheQuote:

yes...i've not used a backplate on a gpu for years so i know its ok...but sure it looks like it will fit fine so it can work.Quote:

Be my team having no advantage on the qualifying round since only watercooling is allowed and low temp. CPU seems to be the best for the qualifying which i don't have. I will do my best to make myself joining you guys party in TW
go go go ....lolQuote:

looking forward to see you again my friends !
congrats to Deanzo on last night's win
me and Dean had to go to extra round and he took it out.........
first round was great with me and Dean trading shots after i changed to a new board as my first one died separating us by 0.400s at final time............2m00.3s vs 1m59.9s
second round deanzo had to back off more than me on 4 cores and i took 3DMARK06 with about 22140 point score with a GTX280 on air.................deanzo did 212xx i think in the end
extra time was supposed to be 3DMARK01 but the file we had was corrupt so we went to 4M SuperPi instead....my machine could not boot to windows.........just couldn't get it going.......when i did it was at some supermediocre clocks.....board had enough for the night i think hehehe :rofl:.....it was an up and down night for both of us :up: hheheheh.............shame we couldn't battle it out in the end but it really didn't matter....we had a lot of fun and finally put a name to a face....great event by Gigabyte once again :up:
Team.ANZ(Australia&NewZealand) will see you all in Taiwan in September :D
went to a few places to drink up a bit.......had a snack to eat and noticed an unusual sign hehehehe
http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/9110/kpyu8.jpg
after that we went back to the original venue but not it was clubbing time

my ears are still ringing.....:banana::banana::banana::banana: i'm getting old :rolleyes:

As far as i know, the card will change from HD4850 CF to HD4870 CF.. wait for official confirmation from GB
Dinos22, dude that club looks alright., If i went i would have to be pulled from the club as i would never want to leave :p:

Don't worry, we are too :up:Quote:

The problems isn't about the power plugs but the 125 -> 220V power :D
found solution, bought 2 of those:
http://www.fratellidelpiano.com/images/img/45FV.gif
is not just an adapter but a power converter, and is good for 50 watt, wich is enough for solder iron and hot glue gun :)
I'm hoping to update my status from media to media/overclocker :)
simple solution. Bought a solder iron with 110 ~ 240v, my country using 220v volt too but it's easy to find solder iron 110 ~240v specs here.Quote:

Those converters can be bought from most electronic shops in Taiwan FYI
GB already changing the VGA spec. on GOOC site. But the funny thing, picture shown still HD4850 and the detail info is HD4870 with GDDR3 memory. :D
Is it reference 4870 or their own design?Quote:

maaaaaaaaaaaaaan i hate the fact we are going to use quads
it would have been so much better if they used E8600 CPUs but i guess that's what they've decided :(
man, the distance is the same ;)Quote:

btw can you beat someone up who decided to pick QX9650 CPUs lol
we got no chance to break any records whatsoever with those things lol................why not go E8600....we could have been benching at 6GHz+ easy...would have been more exciting hehehehe

you can bring your own e8600 for freestyle and break some wrQuote:
