The MSI X58 Pro-E I won for the Lords of Overclocking event arrived today in the mail. Looks like I have to purchase a Core i7 975 now as I promised myself if I received a board I'd compete :(

Don't buy ES though
Good to hear that. I've been reluctant to even open my box, as I thought I'd sell it right away. Maybe I'll put it in my 24/7 rig and pull out the Bloodrage for benching duties.Quote:

I already have enough issues with Francois and policy issues, I stayed out of that thread :D We also can't use ES chips for the North American qualifier :shrug:Quote:

By the way, let me know what you achieve on the board. I've been testing the Eclipse SLI and there were a few surprises ... both negative and positive.
Now you actually made me want to try it out. I need a new CPU to start with.
Now i need to know... What were the positive points. It wasn't all that great in the qualifiers. We had some nice scores though!Quote:

And yes, event will start in next 9 days and almost all overclockers don't have hardware at home :rofl:
I understand you, but take it easy... at least you're able to join the competition :up:Quote:

I'd say they're running out of time. :)Quote:

I can take it easy when we have 1-2 months to event, but not 9 days! Like always organization is very bad in MSI. They must learn a lot from Gigabyte.Quote:

Organisation during last year challenge was been really good, maybe this year it will be same. But the best it will be in Amsterdam http://phpbb3.ocmag.eu/images/smilies/evil.gif
You'll be the only one there since all the others are going to Munich ;)

How funny would it be if you didn't, Benji :D
But ehm... Another question. Is there anybody who received flight details? And details on the hotel and stuff? Cause I'd like to know where we are staying and where I have to be at what time..
Your bicyles will be ready wednesday morning.
Damn.. I think MSI was too quick with this timetable. We dont have any time to prepare, cause I will leave my house on thursday and then I will come back and fly directly to munich.
I have no details about flights or anything, so let's see what will happen.
You'll be staying at Hotel Amstetten, I heard. An old basement with a great atmosphere.
