New Formula One Overclocking Competition Announced

[Monstru]

Ok, so Hipro & GPR fighting against Kingpin and Shamino, or Kinc and Crotale...looks familiar. doesn't it?

This will definately be a very interesting thing to watch, like a 5 months Olympics. Yey!!!

[lolhalol]

Opppssss........I've just remember some more.....

We'll put your head onto ground and crash it with our feet....
You'll eat our dust....
You'll need binoculars to see us ahead....

hahah another warning shot... now wait for the responces... come on vince.. i know ur thinking of some now.. hahaha

[Monstru]

I think that Vince is flexing those beefy fore-arms right now

[lolhalol]

haha hes probably laughing his ass off with peter at his place right now.. hahah..

[Vivi]

I disagree. From season two there will be open qualifiers. People like Vivi have broken through from nowhere by becoming their countries number one and then making it to regional final competitions. I can see him appearing somewhere very soon.

Thank you for the kind words, will do my best for sure to make it in Season 2. Have some very keen sponsors here in SA that im sure will support me

[hipro5]

We're gonna break your bones....
We're gonna stub you in the back....
We're gonna........




......mmmmmm.........Ohhhhh



......wait a minute......



Shi(f)t......!....



I "lost" my good i7.....

It's DEAD....!......


Ermmmmm.........Now WAHT?.....


Welllllll.........yeah..... OK........


What was that that we were talking about here?...

Ahhh yeah.....


How's the weather guys?.......

WHAT ???????? For real ?

[lolhalol]

lol.. some one pushed to hard i see.. lol..

[hipro5]

No just kidding.....
I'm in a good mood today cuz I've bought an E8600 Q822A435...

[Monstru]

The beggining of the end

[lolhalol]

The beggining of the end

+1

[dinos22]

The beggining of the end

lol makes no difference
did you see his i7 speeds lol

[The_Overclocker]

Hmmm.......
Then WE team Hellas, will give HELL!....
You'll spit blood till BEGGING us to stop!......
You'll eat sand and you'll get our smoke.....!....

That's what we want to see!

[SmaKKed]

Why don't we just go back in time and give all current OCers a few Celeron 300A and see how they go?

Celeron 300a @ 600 MHz, Abit BH-6 FSB maxed out from BIOS.. next BH6-2

if i remember correctly i managed this on air (or not far off), werent these guys easy for a 100% clock increase? and there was two steppings of this chip, early ones were the better clockers ehh?

nice work Sampsa

I still have my CPUs and Board kicking about somewhere aswell, maybe time to have an old school comp

Its really refreshing to see a top overclocker still messing with these low end chips, very impressed with your efforts here.

Hello Everyone

This has been a very interesting read.
One point that I PERSONALLY needs to be remembered is mostoverclocking was accomplished on stock hardware when most individuals started and is still what most individuals experience day and day out. (Regardless of whether or not it was done for improvement or for the point of just doing it) The only individuals that know the benefits of ES samples are the overclockers that have received them. I think if this is a true overclocking competition it should be maintained no ES samples are used. I do think that if retail samples are used it should be provided by the CPU manufacturer maybe in conjunction with a trusted reseller.

I think there needs to be adjustment for teams. This produces too much variance in the performance of the overclcoks that can be achieved. I think the best route would be to have a small set of teams that have multiple boards ( 3 boards max ) and there are qualifiers initially for which boards are to be used these also must be retail boards. Once these boards are benchmarked and used the 3 overclocks are averaged and this would be the outcome winner. Then if wanted to could take the highest overclocking board to final round. I feel this would also help in showing the skills and knowledge of the overclocking team in question because multiple boards would have to be used. Additionally If retail samples are used I do think there is any need for limiting the frequency what you can Overclock (shoot for the stars ).
Things across the board need to be standardized meaning the same thing is done for other product such as cooling solutions. If this is not the case you have unfair advantages an example would be what is x LN2 pot performs considerably better than Y pot.

Regardless if a true level of standardization can be brought into play this is what would cause it to be different than any other overclcoking comparison including orb or hwbot. It then becomes a focus on the skill set and experience of the overclocker with a combination of the hardware. Additionally it is important to alos have the three stages of cooling represented and maybe individually in the own rounds due to the fact most overclockers are on air then water and then gas. I think the better way to think of this competition is in the sense of F1 speeds attempting high speeds but with the much bigger focus being on regulation and standardization.

I am out of this thread, too many people interested into getting their own agenda established ... Too many free airplane tickets got distributed recently!
I am interested into the young kid who have fun with his hardware, not into the dude trying to make money out of it.

Francois

this is good
i'm young
stopped reading on this comment now my opinion is

a real skill competition is one system first person alone on the system other cant see then next one
the winner of the round come into the next one
it have to be exactly the same system only the Hdd can createt by the bencher

a 1vs1

What you need to realise is that everyone in every area has thier own agenda meaning what they would like to see happen.
Take it with a grain of salt and not so personally..
If you let these guys get to you, you'll wind up pulling out your hair and slamming your head into a door..
Oh, it's not just young kids who have fun with the hardware, some of us older kids enjoy it just as much as any of the kids do.
Maybe more as we oldsters remember slide rules and are still amazed at the tech advances!

And how do you think this would work......I would have the system begging for mercy as I usually do......you think the hardware would not degrade by the time the next guy got it?

[The_Overclocker]

Hi,

Still haven't finalised all teams... but could all confirmed competitors please email me a mugshot of themselves?

It needs to look like this... (please use your own hats!)



Please email them to me here...

Cheers,

Hi,

Quick update on this.

Just waiting on Team Asus now, really.

Have finally heard back from them and they're obviously taking the idea very seriously. Still some work to do. No names been mentioned yet though. Will keep you informed.

[BustaH]

Any updates that can be publicly aired at this point Nick?

I have a quick question re cpus for the event. kinda need to know for sure in good time.

we need to know now if ES cpu are ok as we can ask intel/msi to provide them. [not cherry cpus]
If its retail only we will need to contact a third party company to provide sponsorship while we have time.

thanks.
