Doesnt really look to exciting indeed :D , here in holland there are 2 people with 7.031 SuperPi and one "unknown" ,
They've cut out the 3dmark01 here, but unfortunately the organisation was a bit of a mess, or well, still is...

I'm aiming for third in Finland. :D

Just maybe might snatch that second place if elmor stops being sick at home and lend me a GTX 295 tomorrow... Will be testing another E8600, this time a Q820A6xx. That'll be done tonight. :)

Here in Germany is only 1M and Nature FPS needed.

At all other Qualifier Coutrys you need 1M and hole 3DMark01?

Yeah it has come to my attention too that you guys only need Nature FPS in qualifying round, instead of all 2k1 tests :shrug:

Still though you shouldn't be bothered, qualifying rounds were kind of fail anyway ... I mean, all of you guys are going to bench i7 platforms on MOA, why on earth would qualifying round focus on who has the greatest E8600 (for both SPi 1M and 2k1) and greatest tweaking/modding skills for 2k1 ? But that's a whole other story :D

Have fun :up:

Well.. most European countries used rules which are based on the competition I designed few months a go in Finland.

Funny to see all the same score calcualtion methods etc. in it :rofl:

This was the reason why this qualification round was mostly fun for us. MSI did the right thing with this and we have to thank them :up:

Now I have to get a good CPU so I can beat elmor/Kinc in Sweden instead. Highly unlikely given my general luck with CPU's.

Also, congrats and best of luck to Sampsa and SF3D.

Unfortunately I must inform you that this year none from this region went to OC event. We had strictly propositions that in all countries we needed to organize qualifications and choose a winner, it was not possible to go directly. As you maybe know this office is handling 9 countries [...] We had internal meeting and General Manager of MSI Balkan office decided that this year it is not possible for us to handle 9 qualifications at the same time.

Here is Germany the Competition is not so hard as it could be...

because Stuwi has its (old WR) 3DMark01 Results with 1920 FPS in Nature and 6,86s in 1M so he is on First.
BenchBros are ranked on 2nd with 1875 FPS and 6,953s 1M.

So I think Stuwi will be in Munich.
06-11-2009, 11:53 AM

Yeah, well....they have answered to us pretty darn hard too. Problem is that each region has it's own..problems, policies and so on. Normaly you either have NO invites, or you can use invites where you know the exact situation and do not have resources to organize preliminary. Well, what the heck can I say, this year we stay home...

I seem to have pissed a few people off at the Muropaketti forums for competing in Finland and Sweden at the same time (even though I fully comply with the rules in both countries). I hope Sampsa isn't cross at least. :P

The good news is that the 285 superpipe doesn't coldbug at -30. I believe we ran it at -60 at some point, still no sign of coldbug/coldboot.
@ the Benelux finals Massman spent 2 hours looking for the voltmods for it but couldn't figure it out so sharing would be appreciated A2C:yepp:

2. Mean Machine (114 168)
3. IllusioN OC (96 602)

SuperPI 1M:
1. elmor/Kinc (7.031s)
2. Mean Machine (7.250)

Hi all, regarding the EU final in Germany I just want to inform you that the CPU is not confirmed yet. We are still negotiating with Intel, once it is confirmed we will inform you.

O by the way Marco, at the Benelux finals I heard something about the European finals being postponed a week. Any more info on that?

When will you be able to give us confirmation about the setup we'll be using in Munich?

I'd say go for Core i7 920, give them a challenge :D

I'm afraid taking i7-920s will turn it into a low clock competition at 21x221 clock limit :)

No it wouldn't. We ran 230 bclk @ the Benelux finals on the Eclipse SLI.

Next to that a big congratulation to all the winners of the local qualifiers, very well done and see you in Germany :)

Any confirmed news about VGA and MOBO please ?
