Doh, Americas just missed an easy free big bang xpower

I don't think anyone competing in America has an MSI X58 board

I don't think anyone competing in America has an MSI X58 board

those scores can be beaten on X48, P35, P45, P55, H55, H57 boards etc....

X48, 2x HD5970, sure CPU might not be so fast, but still 20K+ = easy...

[Hondacity]

someone has 4 480gtxs and an expander and an msi xpower woot

Read the rules again :-)
Retail hardware....
Expander is still a PR stunt, and not retail hardware... So if AndreYang considers doing that, people will call cheat.... It is not in his, MSI or our interest

So no; Not a realistic scenario

4x HD5870 or 3x GTX480

Dont even know if 4x HD5870 is possible... you need to unmount I/O plate on one and run with slim waterblock... because it is not a 7x PCI-E motherboard...
1+3+5+7 is the normal for using 4 graphics...

A Tek9 slim would suffice as well.

you're right

3) The "Gigabyte" motherboard only rule was ridiculous, sorry.
For the time at least the best extreme overclocking X58 motherboard is the eVGA Classified by far ( hopefully the Rampage III Extreme will be at least on par ), and most overclockers received or paid lots of money to get it, and won't or mostly can't spend 300$ on a gigabyte motherboard which will be used just once for the contest.
If you want extreme overclockers and overclockers in general to buy your board, get a decent board out already ( hopefully the X58A-UD9 will be it ), don't try to sell hw via contests.
I'd rather see you saying "Please support us & the competition by buying and using a gigabyte motherboard" than "Gigabyte motherboard only" ( and at the same time expect to see lots of people participating )

Can we expect a similar loud-mouthed criticism of this competition also Bill?
Or is that reserved for only Gigabyte....

No, he already said this in the HWBOT thread:

Once again they fail to provide the overclockers with clear instructions/requirements list

Single-GPU only ? Multi-GPU ?
And the MSI mobo only limitation... well... it sucks.

Well ... agreed ... not really as loud as with GBT/

I guess Pieter answered the question for you.
By the way you need to calm down, and realize that I'm not an anti-Gigabytist

I don't give a flying f* about which company it is, whenever they do something stupid I will be calling the shots.
If you don't like it Tim, it's not my problem.

[cowie]

lol you guys backed by "the man" fight nice now

[T_M]

I know mate, i just didn't like to see quite vocal abuse of one (who in my eyes do a great job of running numerous competitions) in forums and website without the same lambasting of the others.
My opinion on the topic is it makes absolute sense for a company to restrict hardware to their own, otherwise what the hell would be the point of the competition for them? (and hence there would not be any competitions at all).

That would involve actually owning an MSI motherboard I may spring for one if I get to feeling stupid

FFS can we just drop it?

[uncle fester]

I think this rule is useless, because it has been demonstrated that binned retails can be as good as (if not better) the ES

Really useless ?????? Well until i see more than 2 retails coming on par with ES i think this rules needs to stay, me and friends hae been binning 3005F720 and so far none come close to Andre or bench bro's cpu's.

[Hondacity]

intel handpicks are welll godly

Did u test XX chips like andre? benchBros were lucky with that chips
F are rock but F... Fragile (FF) , if you really want to bench forget F, my chip benched 30 minuts +6600, next day vga under ln2, i was ready to kill andre and FF WTH... the latest one will be test next week if die i will back to the ES chips as i no have 100k to spend for intel.

i hope to win Xpower somewhere and try this contest
if we want ENJOY/JOIN a contest we need 3 X GBT boards + 3 X MSI boards


Hiwa

between me and friends binned a total of 6 3005F720 i have 2 more at home to test this weekend so far not so good.

[matose]

And do you think every A0 ES clocks like crazy? I played with 2-3 pieces and all were average.... Binning plays a very important role

As Andre would say, F(F) means CPU dead

Really useless ?????? Well until i see more than 2 retails coming on par with ES i think this rules needs to stay, me and friends hae been binning 3005F720 and so far none come close to Andre or bench bro's cpu's.

Personally I tried one retail randomly, it's a 3003B466, and it does 3D just shy of 6.3ghz without too much trouble...I think that's better than the average a0. It's all about luck and quantity to rule luck out as a factor.

[uncle fester]

And do you think every A0 ES clocks like crazy? I played with 2-3 pieces and all were average.... Binning plays a very important role

I know not every A0 clocks like crazy ive had 3 of them, All dead now. seeing as i dont have 12000+ to bin cpu's im doing my best buying 2 at a time testing and reselling as fast as possible. so far fastest retail has been 3003B396.

Sorry to be harsh on you mister;
But open your eyes, then you will see a heck of alot more then 2

[uncle fester]

Really well you must be the master know it all, please show another chip doing 6.6ghz + 3d and 6.8ghz spi ???? please show me the results certainly are not on the bot.

And sorry to be harsh ???? what showing decent respect isn't in your personality or do you make yourself feel better trying to make others looks stupid ????
