Master Overclocking Arena 2009

Technically yes, but it's possible that the PCB design is a bit different from the GTX260 (hipro's modifications). So what you need to do is to re-measure everything.

The vmem ic is the uP6205B; FB is pin 8 and there's a soldering point very near, almost next to the pin.

As for the Vgpu: the hardmod will indeed work, but you'll have OVP no doubt. I hope MSI lets you use the utility Snot_aap coded for the GTX260 as it should work on the GTX275 as well. Then you have no OVP and are able to set the Vgpu upto 1.6 through the VID table.

oh damn
that would be awesome
i dont see why they wouldnt let us use it as long as everyone had it cause they are trying to show off their 10phase pwm GPU design afterall and what better way to do it then let ppl unleash these mofos with an LN2 pot and 1.6v through the core (i would love to see 2v through the core though haha) remembers doing that on air coolin with that 8400GS haha hey massman

watch out for some 1200Mhz core benchmarks MSI hahaha

[massman]

Would be cool to see MSI remove the OVP completely and add two trimmers to the cards for Vgpu and Vmem, only for the competition .

[ME4ME]

if you want to bench at 1200mhz core, you better play safe with the voltage
those gt200b gpu's don't scale with voltage like other gpu's do ( yes 8400gs... i had one of those too )

it will indeed be great to see how that 10phase pwm performs. The pwm on the GTX260 lightning did a reallly good job, we had no problem benching at nearly 1100mhz core on the GTX260 lightning, stock card, without any vmods at all

however, the Polish guys already proved that its not only about massive core clocks

Don't worry about the clocks, my presence will ruin everything.

[ME4ME]

heheh in that case we better leave you at home then

either way... you have to be punished for putting up a signature like that

Yeah, well, I suppose I'll be spooning with Trouffman at the same place then. I just wonder how you're going to get Ville to fit in your two single beds. :P

[elmor]

I have booked us overclocking Swedes in the same hotel aswell. Thanks to artkobe for help with picking it.

We got Deluxe double room with 2 single beds for €156 so €78 per person.

Hey M8,€78 two nights or one night?

Ever heard of extra-bed?

[Mean Machine]

Ever heard of extra-bed?

That's not cozy.

I ended up spooning with both Massman and Trouffman, mostly since Massman is our sugar daddy and the only one "rich" enough able to book the room at the moment.

[elmor]

It's for two nights. So €39 per person and night.

Press Release
August 21th, 2009
An Overclocker's Olympics!
MSI’s MOA Global Overclocking Final Competition to be Held in Beijing
[Taipei - Taiwan] World renown mainboard and graphics card manufacturer, MSI, has been solidifying a solid reputation in the overclocking market for years. The company is also the host of the Master Overclocking Arena (MOA) Global Overclocking Event, which gathers the world's best overclockers together in one fierce competition. Expanding upon 2008's overclocking enthusiasm, this year’s MOA 2009 featured three months of regional competitions designed to filter out the best of the best. In the end, 20 teams representing the best overclocking talent from around the world will meet in the Olympic capital, Beijing, on August 29, in the head-to-head Olympics of overclocking.

This year, MSI's MOA 2009 event is even bigger than before, and selected a truly international crowd of participants from over 64 countries! Since May, MSI has been holding both online and local area selections, and, after three months of grueling matches, 20 teams representing 17 countries have been selected – including the Beijing overclocking champs. The participants this year have shown stratospheric levels of talent, with such pros as Poland's Ryba and Chaos who broke the 3DMark 03 world record during the European selection match. Taiwan's Nick and Kevin made a name for themselves when they broke the 3DMark 06 world record at software giant Futuremark's LOC online overclocking competition. Another person the multi-national overclocking championship could not do without, Taiwan's own Coolaler (Fang Bin Luo), who himself holds many world records and attended last year's MOA as a model gamer, will be representing the overclocking site, Coolaler, to cover all the action of the overclocking challenge. Indonesia's Ekky will be back to defend his crown as the MOA Champion. From the United States, Charles is an experienced overclocking competition participant, while Brazil's Ronaldo is the number one overclocker in all of Brazil. When China's online selection is over, the results will be announced on August 27 and two teams will be selected to take part in the August 29 event. Without a doubt, MOA 2009's level of competitiveness is comparable to the Olympics - excellence is expected.

During the MOA 2009, participants will use the MSI Eclipse SLI mainboard and the MSI N275GTX graphics card to test the limits of the Intel Core i7 platform. MSI is fully confident that the equipment will perform outstandingly in both overclocking capabilities and range of combinations. The event will not only let the overclocking experts tryout MSI's mainboard and graphics card performance, but will help them in their quest to reach new overclocking heights! For all those with an interest in overclocking, August 29 will be date that is not to be missed.

artkobe - which money are best for shopping in China? US Dollars, EURO or Chinese Juans? Thanks

[Sampsa]

Anyone have extra/no longer used Acard ANS-9010? I have extra E8600 Q822A435 if someone is interested trading/buying

[rbuass]

I am going to Beijing....and i did mod a video card (vmod to 1.6V). to the MOA's final
The problem.
I used Riva tuner 2.24C to increase GPU and mem, but this only works linked (GPU + Shader).
I did try all options, but its impossible to unlink the GPU and the shaders (Riva don t work unlinked)
If someone haves some inormation to do it i wll apreciate so much.

Thanks for all

[massman]

Drove a total of 3h30 to pick my visum which in itself costs me 5 minutes ...

Let's it's worth it

[x-powerx800pro]

Members overclocking up to people, see Beijing August 29.

Of course Chinese Juans.in China it called RMB
you can exchange in Chinese Bank,such as Bank of China.

[artkobe]

Welcome to BeiJing!

Haha.. you too This visa policy is not the best one.. luckily there was only 170km to the embassy

And best it will be if we are bring euros or dolars for exchange?

Haha.. you too This visa policy is not the best one.. luckily there was only 170km to the embassy

I got embassy only 4km away

[TheGoat Eater]

I promise to get passport asap so next time I will be able to go - So Sad LOL... My best wishes to Charles and Chris !

[Lucky_n00b]

Only 4 more days to go....Can't wait to meet you guys

Btw, does anyone coming to Beijing have 1 spare Tek-9 4.0(or 5.0) unit to sell? 2nd hand is okay... somehow I kinda want one(and this way, I won't be needing to pay for shipments LOL )

* If you do, please bust me a PM, 'K? *
