Who won the beer drinking competition this year?Hands down

my theory about strong correlation between the amount of alcohol consumed and speech volume has been confirmed by the team

miah you guys rock
hopefully we all go through next year so we can have another decibel record of kinds and no one to kick us out
Miahallen was just waaaay too funny

I'm home now aswell and have gotten some sleep. Big congrats to Charles and Eric, you came more prepared for the Vantage and that made a difference. We can't really blame anything but us being a bit stupid/naive. We got really confused about your lowered clockspeeds in the screenshot. Other than that we had a little problems with the throttling on the graphics cards due to running to cold aswell as not realizing how much difference the memory did in GT2.
What massman says about the efficiency being part of the score is interesting. First I figured it'd be nice but still there is the possibility that you sacrifice some performance for higher clockspeeds.
Finally big thanks to Phillipe, Tim, Rita, Crystal, Bessie and all the others in the Gigabyte staff for another awesome event. I hope it's possible to go next year aswell, it was great to meet all the overclockers again and some for the first time!

Sorry, yes ... I may have expressed myself not good enough to explain what I meant.Of course we had to try to get best efficiency in 32M, cause our CPU couldn't go as high as it should have. Isn't that quite obvious
A while ago, Trouffman and I were discussing the rules for the MSI MAO competition because of the recent discussion regarding people winning a competition because they have the highest clocks. In other words: luck determines the outcome of the competition.
Now, when we were benching at GOOC, you said: "We are 3 seconds behind you with 100MHz less, too bad we don't get points for efficiency". And THAT got me thinking. Basicly, T. and me were trying to figure out how to fit in an efficiency-based ranking into a high-end extreme overclocking competition like GOOC or MAO, but there's no solid way to implent it. In short, similar to the GPU score ranking in 3D: less points.
But ... efficiency is already taken into account in the CPU benchmarks. I mean, Thomas and I deliberatly chose to cripple the efficiency and go for higher cpu clocks by switching some settings. The reason why yours looked so efficient was not only because of your tweaking, but also because we opted for the non-efficient raw-power method. Actually, if we hadn't made that decision, our score would've been 2nd or 3rd since there was no way we could run our memory higher than 1GHz. In the first set-up phase of the live competition, we ran 1M stable upto 5634MHz; 32M was only stable upto a low 5.5G (I remember telling the Australian team something was up because of the very little difference between 1M and 32M stability).
To sum up: YES, it's possible that very bad chips determine the outcome of a competition, but NO, I don't think that's always the case. The only way to know for sure is to have all chips tested by the same person using the same hardware/bios tweaks. But, as long as the cpu's are +/- matched OR you have the chance to increase your luck by having multiple chips to test, an efficiency ranking is actually not needed since it's already a part of the 32M competition. It's all about the choices you make during the competition and, to be honest, I'd rather not see an extra competition forcing you to choose one route (efficiency) over another one (raw power).
By the way, the chip we tested is a good one, but far from super-cherry. I just heard the chip can't do 5.5G on another brand of motherboards and Vantage was only stable at 5.15G. We tried 5.2G, but no go.
It's all about the method one choses to take
//edit: just re-read this post and it's still missing a lot of thoughts ... please ask to elaborate on certain points if you want me to.

It was so good to meet and drink with all of you! Next year it is then

Hey guys... just landed in Jakarta few hours ago. It was really nice meet with you all the great overclockers. GIGABYTE once again did a great job for Overclocking Community, and congrats to Fugger and Vapor as the Champion of GOOC 2009. Looking forward to see you all again in the next OC event

Maybe you don't remember because all the beer was doing its workDid I really say that

Wow you are the winner of the last GIGABYTE Booktop, you're so lucky Matt !Wow....man what an experience to watch the competition! Totally renewed my spirit.....
Great competition overall and congrats to everyone who got to play, special congrats to Fugger and Vapor for taking home the GOOC 2009 crown, well deserved....not having the best CPU but being able to hang in there, not become discouraged, fight the fight and win! Super job...
Was a bit disheartening on a certain level to watch Miahallen and sno.lcn tear through so much gear.... Better luck next time.
GOOC is simply AWESOME always!!
Heck, I got extremely lucky and won a drawing for a really nifty netbook type lappy....pretty sweet little machine.
I haven't sorted through my photos yet, I'll get on that once I get back home Saturday evening.
Gigabyte staff deserve special recognition for all of their efforts which led to a great event
I think it was Jody who made a comment about me being drunk and loud in LA when he arrived.
Hehe that was funny as hell, I had forgotten about that.Miahallen was just waaaay too funny
" Aaaah, now I see the problem, we are just two dumbasses "
i would never make a comment like that
i don't quote in my signature, but best WR ever...i can't even make that shyt up ^^^
My dear Australian friends!
I just return from vacation - CONGRATS!!!!!!!
i know you like us and all but we arent the winners
for NeoForce you are

Hi Hi .....
Is there a reason why no one is posting pictures
Where courage, motivation and ignorance meet, a persistent idiot awakens.
\o_ i'll try to post my picture tonight
As you may bet i'm still in tiapie with Xyala, today was a relaxing day, haven't checked my e-mail till yesterday
I hope that will continue in that way ! (Video coming soon

Ha, ha, ha.....NO WAY.....When I show someone preparing to take a shot, I hided the cigarette....
I'm trying to get the article up for tonight, going through 3000 pics is a chore
Mais enfin, 3000 c'est rien!
Euh ... wait!

I was going to make a similar joke
Don't worry, I think I can control my french when I'm typing
Pictures?
Here is one
No.. of course they liked to take pictures like this.. not me
You are as good as your samples are!
Don't think the wife will take too kindly to how the one on the right is looking at you
