Q4EG, that is correct. I heard there were two batches going around: A7xx and A8xx ... not sure though.

I have to agree with you. Not only Intel is using the crap CPUs (maybe they want to get rid of all the B1 ES samples), but Kingston provided PSC-based memory for the competition as well because, apparently, it's their 'fastest kit on the market'. Running 2000 CL7-9-7 is the result then, while Hyper-based kits would do 2200CL7-7-7 with a bit of luck ... strange companies.

Thank you Gigabyte for this wonderful competition. This Event was very difficult for me because this is my first Event in Europe. I had a very good processor - no coldbug, no coldboot. I was able to make the maximum validation - 6395 MHz. But the processor too quickly deteriorated, and I could not repeat the results made during the training. I did 13.98 seconds in PiFast at 6100 MHz. But already during the first round of the processor was able to pass the maximum PiFast at 6033 MHz. By the end of the second round of the processor degenerated completely and I could not get the result in wPrime.

I want to congratulate the winners. See you in Taiwan.

Glad to get acquainted with all

maybe because Hyper aren't produce anymore, it'll be silly to show kits you can't buy.

It was an awesome event taking the beach, women and etc into account.
I just wish for some proper CPUs next time. The one I received had tons of goo around on it, and I am not talking vaseline ... Lost a memory channel and quickly after that the CPU only had 2 cores working although all were selected in BIOS. One of the strangest things I have experienced when OCing.

Hell, if PJ was able to keep his CPU alive for those couple of hours, he is definetaly worthy of the first place :D

Thanks guys, many of you helped and were very kind, with some I had a lot of fun or a good talk. :toast:
