Master Overclocking Arena 2008 - MSI WorldWide Challenge !

[dinos22]

Naah, it's more fun to have trouble with the board ... it's more challenging.

nah its true i dont mind a good challenge

i had some nasty experience with MSI boards before......overclocking would have been a bonus
i couldnt install windows let alone anything else (P35/X38) during an OC show a while back now

it was bad heheheh

Hi guys,

We're now still at the hotel after the dinner...probably we will go out for some drinks later tonight

We're actually just 100% lucky today, got a chip that can do 620x10 in SPi 1M @ 1.83 V, and 600x10 in 3dm2k1se, 856/1998/1236 CPU (we only use watercooling)

At the preparation stage, we've run into some problems, so we don't have time to vmod the vcore , vgpu, and putting pot to our gpu..(and after we managed to mount the pot, we got problems with our motherboard, and we run out of time )

For me, I think gprhellas is the true champ of this event, with the chip that got lower clocks than us, he managed to get 2nd place, with only less than 1% difference..if he got our chip, it's him that definitely will be the winner..

well then, i'll post some pics later when i got home..

Congrats to all the winner and all the other contestant, U guys ROCKS !!

Lack of CPU speed binning strikes again?

yeah there must be a better way for comps to be organised to make it more even

[TraX]

Congrats Team Indonesia!

And well done seth & goddy, looks like 2001 was fun

[DJSUB]

congratz jonathan!
i know you have the skill to be on top

[Nosfer@tu]

Gratulations Indonisia and Greece.
Who got Third Place ?

yeah there must be a better way for comps to be organised to make it more even

Some matmatical way of calulating it ?

Pretest the cpu's

[hey]

hell! nothing to say infact but i cannot do.. it was very easy to bench 1M at 626+ with multipliers lower than 10X, but somehow when we set multiplier to 10X, system even couldnt boot at 510+. So only way to run setfsb to 5.8ghz 1m by booting at 5.1ghz, although with exactly the same settings(i had written them on paper) i was benching at 6.1ghz+ spi 1m and 5.9ghz+,8800gts@1126-2700-1080 3d01 easily at home before the contest.

Tapei really cursed us for these oc contests...

i had thought Greece had the first place when we re leaving but well, congrats the all partitions except us

[Deanzo]

i dont know what is going on with Team Australia 3DMARK01 run....i doubt that deanzo and josh couldnt get efficiency in that bench....must have been some issues with the rig or cards their time is a lot slower than other teams in '01 yet 1M SuperPi was pretty competitive

:

Hard to run 3D when the PCI-e slot is full of water

CPU ran fine at -150 (never did find it's cold bug) but the NB had a coldboot bug of -50, but ran the best at -100 in windows.

After the first 3D lockup we had to re-heat the north bridge pot back to -50 but there was ice at the bottom of the GPU that was melting (unknown to us) into the PCI-Express slot - sigh

Some bad luck but happens and we had a fun event - MSI did surprisingly well to host a very enjoyable event.

[sup3rfly]

back in the hotel room now after a long day of touring in taipei, congrats to indonesia, greece and taipei. it was nice to meet some of u again and some that i have not met before. MSI do host a very good event, of all the events i been attended to this is the best so far, thx MSI!!!

p/s: thx alva for the cpu :P

[krystaljasmine]

You are absolutely right jas - these competitions since 2007 have totally changed the community and bonded the various nations worldwide

If someone can just work a bit on a standard cometition format that REALLY works and doesnt simply run cpu clock tests (1M etc) these social events will become a mainstay

[Trouffman]

Truff, next time place that camera in a HIGHER place cuz I see a "back" of someone ALL THE TIME........

Sorry mate I deserve that 100% my fault -_-... in the time before my flight i got stressed and forgot my 2 externals webcams with 5m USB cable... Huang a chinese speaking contact bring me a Logitech webcam especially to do the broadcast... Nest time that would be better

Next time you'll something far better I'll have some "special" stuff to connected directly on the TV-like hardaware and a better bendwidth reservation especially for the broadcast. so better view and better quality !

I heared that that smartass Coolaler tried to "void" the Greek's score.....

I heard that too ...

so some of my friends are down in taiwan now??

Yep Maybe wanna visit you soon \o/ I'm there 'till saturday evening !


I'm back at the hotel and orgnaising the latest pictures, I wanna post them all soon !

You're right, especially it becomes more and more "social meeting" than OC competition

[dinos22]

coolaler was part of the comp???

what reasons was he giving for attempt to void their scores?

guess its about time for me to post something in this thread! My name is goddy im part of the south african overclocking team, all i can say is this was a great event. all in al it went well, no one expected the boards to do 630 fsb 4 boards were north bridge cooled and 3 of them did 620+, so that was nice. Indonesians, very very glad they won they deserve it, GReat guys and very good clockers.

we killed our 1st boad before we event booted it , that sucked. so we quickily insulated the second board, but we thought out nb pot killed it cause of tight mounting or something, so we didnt NB pot it again,what we didwas keep the stock heatsink mounted, butripped of the heatpipes and stuck a insulation tube over the block just so we can pour ln2 on the thing. worked great til the end! graphics did 1000 nature 01 at 1.44v -30 which i thnk was great, we where batlling the taiwanese for 1st place 01, they where on 6ghz cpu we 5.72, but our gpu was higher. was really exciting and eventually we got our 1st spot in 01, til 3 minutes before competition end the greeks uploaded a score 103 points higher than us ! big ups to them! our PI wasnt too hot so that gave us 4th ovral

the austailians, three words, F***** - A - man, great guys , really good benchers, learned allot from them, they are very respectable ppl. really hounered to have met them, moloko (josh) what a man, so ful of knowlege pride in what he does. deanzo, awzum guy! t_m , damn smooth with the ladies , wow :P.

gorilokos, gprhellas, Shamino, hicoockie, truffman, scott, ekkie, calva, halan, i cant remember all the names there are so many!! so if i left you out i didnt mean it, thaNKs for being so kind with me during this evnt, i apreciate it~

welldone msi the comp was excellent
