[ARH]

why there are so many visa problems this time???
really hope not to hear anymore teams dropping out............

btw, typhoon signal no.8 is now ON in Hong Kong...
flights will be delayed for sure...
sigh...
we are worrying about our flight which have scheduled for tomorrow afternoon too.

my friend came from hong-kong with you, did you see he ? her visa problem was solved by paying one day more and changing the flight.

[Eldonko]

What floor though?


Anyways, congrats to all the competitors, it was a very demanding day (even those of snapping pics & asking questions ) and they all performed very admirably.

Also, I think I speak for all the competitors and reporters in saying that Gigabyte has really done a tremendous job organizing this event. The choice of venue, the hospitality, the special arrangements, everything has been above & beyond what most of us were expecting...except for the sudden Red Bull drought that was imposed on reporters

I can't wait to see what they have in store for us tomorrow (aside from another painfully early wake-up call )


Now I have to go through 700-800 images, hope to have a great chronicle of the days events by morning.

[ARH]

What floor though?

my room number is 1345 in 13th floor and I am using free high-speed internet from apple store here (I thing). please feel free to come here if you can not see the network. you are all welcome
also the Tavern internet is free.

[dinos22]

congrats Sweden 2

great benching and some hot dancing in the club later that day
particuarly elmor, Team.KGB, Mean Machine, Pt1t and French connection as well as my team mates and many others..............

SF3D was too busy chatting up some local chicks

will post videos and photos when i get back home

i was sad to find out about hipro5 not coming but i would do the same in his place....i hope your wife has no serious issues

as for Team Australia.....................we just had ridiculous amounts of issues with our hardware.................it was mine and Deanzo's worst ever benching day . we were not alone.....Giorgprimo & Andrea who were right in front of us has kinda similar problems and many others as well.....just the way the cookie crumbles i guess hehehehe. btw just for the record.....our replacement CPU was the better of the two only able to bench at 5.1GHz ROFL ROFL ROFL.........and did i mention out max FSB was 340FSB hahaha. i felt deflated until we hit the club that night and the fun began

i have to say that meeting all these great guys was just simply amazing.
We're still not done partying.........one more night to go fellas

I don't know what the story was with German team but it's pretty disappointing for both of them on missing the event and i still don't even know what the reasons were for both No_name and strumwinter skipping the comp what's up with that

Gigabyte did a great job with this event.....awesome stuff & keep it comin'

Hardware was sent to them too late apparently:

Through the fact, that we didn't get hardware until today, Michael and I decided to cancel the contest.

Beside contest Nr. 1, we focused @ Freestyle on 3D06, maybe to get the WR...

But without preparing and testing it's nearly impossible...

Sry to say that...

[Mean Machine]

great benching and some hot dancing in the club later that day
particuarly elmor, Team.KGB, Mean Machine, Pt1t and French connection as well as my team mates and many others..............

SF3D was too busy chatting up some local chicks :

About the dancing; I know you were just trying to get in my pants, so I stuck to Harshal and Zolkorn instead.

About the chick, I actually took her to the club, I wasn't counting on meeting you others there. :P

Lastly about the problems during the benches; for me and Ekberg, everything was just perfect until the end of the warmup. During the warmup we had a 11.5GB/s score which wasn't perfect, so we could've challenged for a win in the Mem Read competition. Then things started going worse and eventually just before 3DM01 we fried the first board. Switched mobos, got another really crappy one that flexed too much for its liking when we installed the pot... We tried using it for the freestyle competition as well, with an E8400 (just for fun), and maxed out at 500FSB while our original QX9650 with the first mobo was just fine at 475. All in all, fun folks, nice meeting you all, special thanks to Zolkorn for his time in Bangkok the days before the competition. Also, big congrats out to elmor/SF3D, even though the latter should realise that if you have a wife you don't do certain things.

[CAL930]

We returned to Japan today.
Both I and KYOSEN are ... in there being work

We held a trouble in 3D benchmarking.
Therefore the OS crashed, and I changed an HDD once, but even the free-style that I ran out of time held an OS trouble and prepared for four pots of 4870X2 use, but I cannot afford to try it, and it was all could do I put VGA in 3DMARK06 as cooling of the stock, and to have 31266 score.



But we could share time with all of you and were happy.

I thank for GIGABYTE which offered such an opportunity.

It is the movie which I photographed between competitions.
