OCZ Contest - Details

[[XC] gomeler]

I think we can take 4th with relative ease. Just need more benchers to submit results

[Movieman]

A shame, I won't have my E5450's in time for this contest but I'll get those beasts to make some points when they show up.
I will try for 4000 on water and I don't think there are any E5450's that are up that high yet.

[cadaveca]

I'm pretty impressed myself with how well this went. There wasn't actually too many people benching, in comparision to the number of forum readers....

lol... if all the people who use this forum regularly put up even 10 points each we would be first

[The Nemesis]

I had 0 when this contest began. I was only able to put up 90+ and it was very difficult with work and all. I'm gonna keep contributing from here on though. I think that will be the key. Keeping at it.

[cadaveca]

This is what XS used to be about. I never stopped since I joined the forum, and if I do stop, I'll not be here. Looking at most people contributing, most are from "the same era" as I am.

[[XC] gomeler]

Guess the contest is over.

+126 points. Do I get 2.5 submissions?

[cadaveca]

I only pulled out like 16 points or something...had upped all my scores just before Fugger started this tho, so oh well. Couldn't get my new hardware recognized, so even though I have scores that would get more points, HWBOT denied me . Oh well.

Go on tell us more about this new hardware...It's somethin HWbot isn't recognizing. now you got me curious

[cadaveca]

already mentioned. HD 3450's and 3650's. I must be doing something wrong...first time they were recognized as 8800GTS 320mb, I sent msg to HWBOT moderator, who just changed it to "unrecognized", rather than correcting the problem. At that point I gave up...I've got to move here in 2 weeks, so have some other priorities right now anyway.

[loonym]

lmao @ The Nemesis only 90... 90 is a hella good show and you worked like a dog, you should be proud

at least you finally got on the right team

Yeah that felt kinda silly. I had never joined a team b4.

[aicjofs]

Well as the contest comes to a close I thought I would share some of my ridiculous setups. Made quite the mess and had lots of fun. My family and friends will be glad to have me back from the netherworld. LOL. Anyone else have any pics to share?

Loads of antiques

[NBF]

Oh man! I shold have taken pictures of my Via C3 cooled by my aluminum beer mug filled with plain ice and ethanol Insulation? What for?

But usually I don't like to keep evidences of my Ultra ghetto stuff heheheheh


Good competition, congrats to all XS mates that helped and had some fun!

2000 points is nothing to be ashamed off! We didn't make top, but with more 2 or 3 months It can be done

My results are in my sign, had no points before competition

Ill upload new results when I get home to help the team and these should bump some of the top spots down.

[M.Beier]

Sadly, just after announcing my starting score, some of my points were taken
So I've just went from 156 or so, to 206....
- 250 should be possible within a couple of hours, if we dont run out of LN2

[loonym]

[Bobsama]

Oh geeze and I don't have anything more to actually send... I'll just try to keep benching my 353 and get 6xGold again.

[[XC] gomeler]

Extension till the end of the months?

[Warboy]

I'm going to pop it out here soon and load some fans on it, and see how far I can push it again.

At the beginning of contest, it was 312.6 points for me (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...0&postcount=80), so this means I added 489.6-312.6=177 points
