Yes :p: But in reality we posted just higher the best score if we had a better time. After our 88.67s with Intel burn test, i do 8.5 on 1M without tweaks and CL 9 :D
No stress, perfect organisation between us. I'm better for 1M and my mate is better on long bench with multithreaded benchmark.
Plz Gigabyte do a stable bios :rofl: 45min loosed with an usb problem. We flashed under LN2 :rolleyes: and windows.
Excuse me for my silence during the event with the others members. It's simply me.
Very very good as usual. Bob, Kevin and ??? a new guy in Gigabyte France :D

I dont think so... I never had a beer in my whole life... wait... I never had alcohol in my whole life (No kidding!). So no change to compete with the others... it is like coming with a knife to a gunfight :ROTF:

I hope I don't have important stuff to do with a deadline 24h after the event ended the next time :p Can't do crazy integrals with a hangover:D

Me and Sturla missed the flight for some reasons, so we we're stuck at the airport for 7 hours, btw.:p:

Results


We can't do better. We sucks simply :rofl:

Our CPU was the best. Spi 1Mo passed by bob @ 6.7GHz (quickly max screen for us :p: )
We've got a very good LN2 pot ( k|ngp|n F1EE ) -175°C every time, no drop ;)
But after . I know why. Bad settings :yepp: 4000Mhz for nb frequency at the boot but no bench higher 6250MHz for SPi 1Mo and 5550MHz for fritz chess. No more time for run something with good settings. It's very short. But that's the game.
