i think a few guys from the neighbouring countries, which were asked had no time and unfortunately we are limited to 8 teams, so we couldn't get all we wanted.

but i'm sure in the next event different countries/guys will be invited/participate.:up:

stummerwinter had been asked, but couldn't make it. He asked if I could come instead but they seemed to not want me :p:

Hi all! We Finns are in room 001 in Zipser hotel. That must be a sign for us ;)

Where are other participants?

GL :)

But don't place stake on that 001...I randomly drew CPU #1 in GOOC in LA, and it didn't stop me from placing last. :lol:

btw, good luck guys!

no voice :(

Seems that we have some winners :up: . Congratulations Spain :up:

#1 Team Spain: 7.406s
#2 Team Slovenia & Team Finland: 7.422s

Wonderful competition, thank you all! :up:

oh no i missed it
congrats to winners

is there more going on???? vantage?

Vantage:
#1 Team Greece: 41.9k+ (4x 5870 @ LN2)
#2 Team Finland: 38k (4x 5870 @ LN2)
#3 Team Austria: 37k+ (4x 5870 @ air)
#4 Team Slovenia 33k+ (2x 295GTX @ stock)

Vantage competition was a great experience. A lot of HW sharing happened in order to obtain the best possible score, no jelaousy, only true benching spirit. Team Greece benched only for 20 minutes. If we would have another hour I am sure Vantage WR would fall, I am sure!

nice work from Greece there......what sort of clocks were they doing?

AFAIK 5.36GHz CPU, 1.15GHz GPUs. If I remember correctly, George and gpr can tell more though. It was fun! :up:

Yes Nico i think you are right. For few times he tested 1200Mhz on the GPU but i'm not sure if also in this 41,9K run.
It was really awesome as a member of the Austrian Overclocking Team to see the work with these rigs. And a real big pleasure to meet you guys. I hope this wasn't the last time. But if it was so than i would hold this time in honour ;-)
Big work from all guys.:up::clap:

(i was the man with 24:01 T-Shirt and the glasses. Hope we see some of your photos)

Congratz to winners and all other competitors!

Specifically to tiborrr and Moonman for holding 1.place the most time of the competition in SP1M category.
:clap:

yeah it was a great honor to meet you guys finally. :D

on vantage i think a lot of teams had problems. nothing worked really well. i just got a few complete runs through, but with rubbish cpu clock.
george did one pretty awesome run i must say. :clap:

to bad petri and sampsa had often problems with dead cards.

was really a great evening and the competition was great fun.
It was a blast meeting and talking to all the overclockers, I hope more competitions will follow soon !

Was a really good event. I really enjoyed meeting all the guys there, the spirit of overclocking was certainly evident which was very nice to see. congrats to Spain and Greece for getting those great scores and to all the other competitors who made a good day great!

Thanks to Tibor for taking our sign back to Slovenia for us I will be in touch about that buddy.

Ditech put on a really great event so a big thanks to them for inviting us.

It was a pleasure to meet you guys. Did you went to sleep so far Tiborr ? :D

It was a great event and I had a fantastic time meeting you all :D

Big congrats on the scores, the superpi was brilliant, last few minutes and red lights coming on all over the place showing they have a better score.

Hipro and gpr's Vantage was awesome, nice to see they still have more to come given more time. Everybody was really helpful and was a great atmosphere, hope to meet everyone again soon. Shame about SF3D and Sampsa'a rig, one of the cards getting broken at the airport glad Tiborrr lent you one :)

But big thanks to the guys at overclockers.at and also to Ditech.at for hosting the event and making us all welcome and of course making it all possible..!! :clap: :up:

I have some pics but quality is a bit crap :(

No matter with the pics. Just post it ;-)

Who's who?

I think the guy with the big smile everywhere is Sam :p

Have updated above post with names.

Please correct me if I got anyones name wrong or can put names to the unknown :)

Congrats to Spain. Overall the event was very nice and we had good time benching, competing and meeting with other teams. Some parts of the competition were extremely well organized and planned. For example each team's monitor was splitted to back room and they could monitor / save everything what happened on screen. This would be a nice idea to future competitions to save events on screen to check the winning run how it was done afterward if there are any issues with result.

My feelings are little bit mixed because we lost 5000 euros with 0,016 seconds difference and we know there was more left in our system but ran out of time :D There was no prize for 2nd or 3rd place so we left home empty handed.

Here are couple of shots:

thanks for the nice pics :toast:

Wow there you can see the awesome and fussy work from Hipro.:bows:

Hi guys! I made it through today.. I had a bit short night before going to work and I am SO tired after last weekend.

It was really great to see some new faces and see some great spirit during the weekend. Competition was great in all possible ways, but second and third should have got some prices as well :)
Thank you Matthias for inviting us in to this event! Thanks to DiTech girls to entertain us during the competition.. Bringing beer to me was a great gesture!

Some thoughts:
Taking some beer with guys from Lithuania and Romania was a great moment as well. We had a really lively and inetersing discussions about everything. Thanks for that guys!
Gerorge and George is amazing team and it was nice to spend some time with you as well. Other George is so kind man, that I cant imagine him to be angry about anything. You guys take it very seriously and usually it works!
Eminen and other Austrian overclockers. You know how to party, but I am sorry that we had to leave that bar on saturday. Was nice to see small part of your community during the event.
Tiborr and moonman you were a great and surprising team in the contest. Good to finally meet you guys! That rice insulation was hilarious in the beginngin, but when we were 0.2s behind you, it was not so funny anymore :)
Turrican, you are the man! Great action in Vantage from you and N3ocort3x. Too bad you had some power ?? issues as well. We would not have made it to the bar without you ;)
Bustah and Dualist. Was great to meet you two. I wish we would have got in to same pub on Friday, so we could have talked a bit more. Great superpi scores, by the way!
Predator and Dacosa. Wow, you were having some issues in spi like us, but what a raise from the dust with second CPU. Good work and great clockspeed! That is what counts in that benchmark! Congratulations once again!

Will post some pictures later!

Maybe we will meet again in Vienna next year!

P.S Museum of natural history was spectacular. So much to see that there was not enough time too view all interesting stuff in there.

Thanks SF3D for those kind words. Everyone was so nice, you were an awesome company! :up: I have asked DiTech personal if we could get a DVD copy of event and they said they will send us a copy! :) I really hope to see you next year.

Here are some other pics aswell, four album of 24 photos: http://evillage24.at/articles/1142/

gogo, me want to see them! :p:

The event was really nice!
nice to meet some of the greatest overclockers of europe. :)

Hope to see you next year too. ;)

Well, I finished my report (big thx to gprhellas, n3ocortex and DiTech for the pictures) - Campionatul International de Overclocking.

Let me say it was an honour to be there with you guys, and I really hope we all meet again soon. It was my utmost pleasure to have the oportunity to meet our friends from Greece once more, you guys rocked the house! (George, please post the pic with the coffe inside the safe :D ). Also, we had a great night changing ideeas with our friends from Finland and Latvia, that was very instructive my friends.

We also had the pleasure of meeting the guys from Slovenia and Austria, we must drink some beer again guys!

Last but not least, meeting again with friends from Spain and UK was a real ball. I hope Predator and Dacosa had a nice bussines class trip home, and maybe Bustah and Dualist got in the wrong plane and flew to Thailand :D

Thank you guys for a beautifull experience, and thank you Overclockers.at and DiTech for having us!

it was also a pleasure meeting you guys. :up:
i hope we can drink some beer togehter next time monstru. :D
