Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2008 - Taipei

[Trouffman]

Could someone explain (except dinos ) what is all about the "free style competition"?......
What are we suppose to bring with us?...

Bring your killer CPU/PSU/RAM but you need to overclock on GIGA mobo / VGA ^^

Correct me if I'm wrong !

Note : GO OC 2008 website ? hacked ?

[aCe]

I don't think it was hacked. I think they might have updated something which is now conflicting with a possible .htaccess file they have in place.

of course we do not think to Grant hyatt, because we are not reach boys maybe we are going to indonesian guys hotel at taipe or another hotel apartman there.

You might also want to look at the Leofoo hotel. The 4 of us coming across from South Africa have decided to stay on an extra day to do some site seeing and we're going to be staying here.

T_M I know one of the hotel's you're refering to. It's close to the Gigabyte HQ's. It's more expensive than Leofoo unfortunately.

[T_M]

The one i go to often is called Lake Hotel, but it way too far from the CBD action where the comp will be.
I've also stayed in a few in teh CBD area that were reasonable, but cant remember names sorry.

George,

The Freestyle Comp is about breaking WR for hardware categories on HWBot.
You can use any of the hardware that Gigabyte supply for the comp, and then you can add to that your own HDD/CPU/RAM/Gigabyte Mobo/Gigabyte GPU(s)/etc.
Basically you have 2hrs to break as many #1 hwbot as you can using Gigabyte based systems.
The person who gets the most records will get $3000.

An example (the rig i will run):

QX9770 / E8600
Gigabyte EP45T Extreme
2 x Gigabyte 4870X2
Patriot DDR3
2 x Gigabyte Odin PSU
WD 500Gb SATA

First Hotel, good strolling area decent room.
Hondo hotel is ok, better of the two for room, and about the same for location.

Both are pretty close to Hyatt.

As Fre3ak pointed out, check the tv channels between the channels.

heheh what?
the ones you have to type in manually

last hotel we were staying in even had TVs in the shower

[T_M]

And creepily enough the pron channels in the bathroom TVs are unlocked, yet locked in the main room

QX9770 / E8600

2 x Gigabyte 4870X2

we are goin to have a similar system too with 6xLN2 pots lol

[T_M]

Maybe we should just combine efforts....

[Deanzo]

Hey Tim

After the first post was updated, it was pointed out to me that it now only says that the Motherboard needs to be Giga.
The Vid card only says ATI, do you know if thats right or not ?
Or do we still need a Giga card/s.

[dinos22]

Maybe we should just combine efforts....

to be honest i don't mind
we'll discuss the game plan to beat hipro5 over at The Tavern hahah (we wish heheh)

[T_M]

Gigabyte (Intel) motherboards and (ATI) video cards

[aCe]

Would one of you guys who have stayed at the Hondo Hotel in the past mind uploading a google earth placemark?

Edit: Updated google placemark's file on next page.

Gigabyte EP45T Extreme
2 x Gigabyte 4870X2
Patriot DDR3
2 x Gigabyte Odin PSU
WD 500Gb SATA

So that means that we can bring some X800 ATI VGA and take down ALL hwbot records with it.....Is it OK?.....

This means for example, that if I break 6 hwbot records with the X800 I get 6 points and if you break 5 hwbot records with the 2 x 4870s you will get 5 point, so I win?.......

Gigabyte SHOULD and MUST clarify about this and be more specific because we will ALL bring our Radeons X800s or so.....

[s e r e n i t y]

Or 9800PRO's

[T_M]

The way the rules currently read, you are correct George.
Hicookie made mention previously that there would be some limits, but it was never clearly defined nor added to the rules

[hipro5]

Yes but they MUST specify it ASAP so for us to know what to bring....

do you think that EP45T-Extreme is suitable for breaking hw records ?
try this keyword in the google search please : EP45t-Extreme site:hwbot.org

no one could register any record using this mainboard in hwbot.

note that I will come to the fs with this mainboard too.

[dinos22]

i think you should have submitted your hardware list a long time ago though.....
the reason they asked for it is to make sure ppl didn't bring some old cards or whatever to gain advantage

guess that will change soon then
