Thanks for posting pics Jon, once ag. the facilities is quite cool
Nice pictures Elmor!
I'm uploading mine at the moment. All pictures will be in original size, so if you see something good, just download them. My night pictures were not so good when using 24" monitor :(
I think there should be picture of every team in the competition.
E: Here are the pictures! http://sf3d.wippiespace.com/images
Please, be patient. Those are large pictures, so it will take some time to load them.
It was great to meet all you guys at the event and a fantastic experience!
Msi did a great job hosting the whole thing from start to finish, they really looked after us.
Congrats to the winners [Greece] Turkey and France also for their great efforts.
We [United Kingdom] were very happy to come in sixth place overall [sorry belgium]:p:
Seriously its a great testament to the overclocking community that everyone was willing to share tips and advice to help each other get better scores.
Peter [nosfer@tu] you are crazy dude and kept me laughing thru the whole thing:up:
Im looking forward to doing it all again!
Respect to ALL involved.:yepp:
-Bustah-
it's special prize for 5th place, didn't you know? :DQuote:

:D
Petri makes the best photos as usual! :)
So...I managed to get a little sleep. Great pics you guys....hey...I love the pictures :D
There are a few more things I would like to say...
The Overclockers
I would say that some of us had bad luck, and it happens, but the worst luck was with the guys from Portugal. I saw what clocks they were running in the first day, and I knew that they would be top 3 for sure. They are great clockers, who did a great job, but who had terrible bad luck...I have to say that all of us know that, and we all have great respect for them.
Also, I have to say that from my point of view, this has been a very great display of friendship and passion, everybody was helping each other out, even if it was a competition. I saw great spirit there, and I was really impressed by that. We were all friends, even if competing, and I am really glad for the TOP 3 teams, they really deserved their place. If you ask me, there were 20 winning teams in Amsterdam, because we were all so lucky to be there, meat each other and take part of such a great event. This I would like to do again any time...This being said, I have to also say that I was very happy to meet all of you, and I am happy that I have met you Massman, Predator, SF3D, Nosf3r@tu, but I am sorry we didn't have enough time to have some beers with each of you. I also enjoyed having a good time and beers with the guys from Hungary, France, Belgium...we had some nice kicks together. It was also a pleasure to have the table between the guys from Portugal and the guys from Russia, we were surrounded by overclocking spirit and enthusiasm. I can also not forget the way the guys from France, Holland and Great Britain competed...they were very quiet and cool, but they did a very good job.
And of course....friends from Greece and Turkey....you are not only great clockers but great friends, I have so much enjoyed meeting you. Gprhellas...it has been a real pleasure my friend....Hipro...don't quit smoking man...f**k this EU bulls**t, we have our rights god dammit! Hey...you are a great guy man....and of course, our partner in crimes, tosuner mc...you rock brother :D
The Event & Organizers
Everything was so well organized, and everybody was so nice. And to think that this was the first time they have organized something like this.... Guys...thank you for the show, I really enjoyed it and you have all done a great job. This was a very well done event, the atmosphere was amazing, and all you guys prepared for us was really enjoyable and great. Thanx you guys, you go get some days off now and rest, your job is done, and a great one it is.
The Hardware
Well....I have to be honest....in the beginning I hated the motherboard...really much...But playing with it a little bit more, I was a little amazed. It performed very well under cold (for us at least), it ran for hours and everything was ok. We had a maximum of 630 FSB, which tells me that the board is good, but the bios must be tweaked furthermore, that is the actual weak part, not the board itself. Anyway, I think that this is an important statement about the intentions of MSI regarding the enthusiast market, and that is a good news...
Unfortunately most of the CPU's were.....hmm....well.....you know the word, I will not say it. Even if they were the same batch....some were great and some were....****. Everything else was nice and smooth, the GFX ran very well for us, the OCZ Ram was good, the PC P&C did their job without blinking, only the thermos bottles were not so LN2 proof. :rofl:
Amsterdam
What can I say....a very beautiful city, very old, good looking and clean, peaceful and quiet and with much less stress that other big cities. It is a very interesting and beautiful city. The beer is very good, even if it comes in very small size for my taste :D The food was very interesting and good, I personally enjoy sweet sauces and meat, so i had a nice experience (small for my appetite, but tasty :D) . The only two things I missed were pork (YES....I love pork and I have missed it :D) and the bread besides the main dish :D :D :D
I also liked the temperature, very cold for this time of year. Now I am back at home and there are 30oC in my room, so I miss Amsterdam :D
Here are a very few pictures from me, I actually didn't take a lot. We will upload more when we get the pics from our editor, adn the movie from my colleague matose.

Great event, was real nice to meet all of you guys! :D
Congrats to Team Greece, a well deserved 1st spot.
Team Portugal just arrived home.
I won't make a big post since you guys already told everything but in general it was a great event, with some flaws but it was MSI's first event so it was pretty good.
It was great to meet so many good overclockers and to share this experience with you guys.
Thank you for your kind words m8, we had bad luck indeed. We benched the board at home with ln2 for 2 weeks or so without problems and then it died on the first event day, the second board we got was awsome (640 FSB++) but it also died after a couple hours while we were changing 1 setting in bios. Anyway all the overclockers were on the same Overclocking/Tweaking skill level so luck decided the rest.Quote:

Just a side note, team Spain are great guys, crazy but great guys :P Really enjoyed to meet you :)
Could say a lot more but it's late and I'm very tired, maybe tomorrow I'll spend a couple minutes on a new post.
fantastic event
congratulations to the winners and all the teams participating
it would have been awesome to be there in person as a spectator watching all these great overclockers tweak their systems and bench their hearts out
i didn't get the Chicago videos but i guess it's early in the morning here and i'd probably need a few beers to get me started lol hehehehe
:up:
Nice vid over here: http://cc-tv.nl/
Well i´m coming today to my job my boss say you are out :shocked: now i havent a job :(

Yes getting assistance from Hipro5 even though it was a competition shows how it should be done....
I Was soooooo Greatfull for some aid because we had alot of problems the first day :up: THX ALOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
another great video:
http://tweakers.net/redactieblogs/55...-de-video.html
I am thinking that we should get in touch with the guys from MSI and set up an FTP or something, where they can put all their pics and vids, and we can put ours...So we could all take them very quick in an archive or smth, not download each pic separately.
Just asked, they are looking into it :-).
@All
It was nice meeting you guys!
@MSI
Fantastic event!
@Nosfer@tu
Not buying a MSI notebook! LOL
hahah
:D
