so it's a honesty contest ?:)
I am sure there are others who know exactly whom also to confirm. I also assume there was a limited number of these CPU's passed out and they might show up else where.Quote:

No official statement of who won yet nor is scoreboard updated with my first place 100% OC 720 BE score......lets see what happens....
Update from FM site.....
Hey guys,
We're still going through the submissions (including Chew*'s score) and waiting for some final rulings from the jury.
Official winners will be announced on the contest page once this is done. I'll also notify this thread at that time.
There may still be changes to the results at this time, so stay tuned.

Update 2.
Chew*'s score has been investigated and the CPU overclock score has been calculated with the proper default clock frequency putting him in the #1 spot for CPU overclocking.
This should also fix the CPU overclocking score calculation for anyone else with an unlocked AMD CPU ("AMD Phenom II X4 20" or "AMD Phenom II X4 B50" ) in this contest.
The results are still being checked for issues, so stay tuned for final announcements.
:up: to FM staff....
Nice Job Chew !! :bows:
and Congratz !!
Watching to see how the rest of all this unfolds
Here was one of my results from the over all score......
My final score was done with 5989 cpu @ 1.875 vcore and 3800NB at +.60vNB_vid last day of contest.
Unfortunately it was a hail mary run and crashed while trying to grab a screenie....luckily I had saved the result already.....
Nothing stellar about this chip.......I tried to make the most effecient use of what clocks I had.

Nothing stellar, yeah right ... your definition of stellar has to be different from mine. As always, inspiring score. Glad to see you around AMD
Well, it seems you're satisfied at least, now that you got your win in the end. Congratulations.
Satisfied?Quote:

definition of stellar....Subtract 150 mhz off these chips and you know what it can do with dual 4870x2s.....

" Re: Gigabyte Dragon Overclocking Competition 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI, current schedule is that we will announce the final winners list on Monday."
Today, for some reason my result on 6134Mhz was deleted from the rating of the TOP CPU overclockers. I do not understand why, and much surprised at this fact.
orb link still valid..

I suggest you take it up with them.
My 720 result is not on board atm either.....I'm guessing they are doing some updates.
None of the components was not an engineering sample.
That's the problem. :)
Nor was mine.......not even a review sample. Just binning ;)Quote:

Winners are posted on their forum: http://futuremark.yougamers.com/foru...4&postcount=62
Actually only the winners of the CPU OC part of contest are finalized......This just in....
"It appears there's still an ongoing investigation with the jury that I wasn't informed about concerning the winners for best scores, so there might still be some changes.
Basically this means that the score based winners have not been contacted yet.
Apologies for the inconvenience."
