Master Overclocking Arena 2009

[N3RO]

I think that should be some 3DMark and not Aquamark (2001, eh? )

About SuperPi, 1M is ok, but for a "final", 32 will be better or not?

[Sampsa]

Here are the current top results with components:

Aquamark3 with GTX 260: http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/videoc...%20260%20216SP

SuperPi 1M with Core i7-950: http://www.hwbot.org/listResults.do?...true&limit=100

Ok here we go.. MOA 2009 EU Final benchmarks are:

SuperPi 1M & Aquamark3

Are you serious or it's a joke ???

[NeoForce]

According to this interview http://total-oc.com/article.php?id=118 - from Russia will be guys, who will be chosen by local office =) (Cause winner doesn`t have passport to go ) No competition, no qualifiers =) Just selection. I`m very surprised.

I like the pictures from the French Event : http://total-oc.com/picture/img/d785...e/f_resize.jpg

So, sadly, you were right all along a few weeks ago when you told us that this is going to happen. This is such a shame

[Marioace]

i don't understand, msi MOA site says MSI HW (mobo and NV VGAs) but Kinc&Elmor used Asus HW

maybe it's a pre-selection?

No every country have same rules, in some countries, we can use another brand od MB and VGA

Swedish qualification was just restricted to Intel chipset and Nvidia graphics, I believe it was the same in the Finnish one aswell.

Thanks

[Benji Tshi]

Yep, Greeks and Belgians was also allowed to use Intel based mainboard, but not only MSI In France, it was only MSI Intel and nvidia graphics.

BTW, if the benchmarks are really 1M and AM3, it's a pity. The best CPU will win

Sorry to hear that Russian qualifications are everything but fair, i hope the participants will enjoy the event next month at least ^^

SuperPi 1M & Aquamark3

come'n you are joking ...........

[ryba]

come'n you are joking ...........

I can't tell anything about benchmarks, b'couse my Marketing person from MSI don't know what is benchmark

[Benji Tshi]

Damn

I really hope it's a joke, because we should have received a mail from MSI concerning these benchmarks, but nothing in my mailbox

absolutely bro. 2k1 and 32M would be much more competiton between the benchers, 1M and AM3 is about the hardwares we'll got. maybe for the final in Beijing they will think about it

btw congrats for all pre-selection/qualification winners, see you in few weeks guys!

[Mean Machine]

I don't really think Sampsa would write such a thing if he wasn't sure of it.

[Gendo]

Is Sampsa the only one that received an email? I know my contact is a slacker, for sure I called her office 2 days ago and her co-worker left her a note with my phone number saying she had to call me back. Haven't heard anything since. Nor did I receive an email today. I'll just have to call her again tomorrow

[Sampsa]

I got this information yesterday directly from my MSI contact in Messenger. Benchmarks were decided yesterday in a conference call between EU and Taiwan HQ.

[ryba]

Today I recive e-mail with the same information about benchmark like Sampsa. But maybe they will change them like last year.

[massman]

C'mon guys; Aquamark3 will be fun as hell!

[Monstru]

Cool!!! To make this perfect, they should provide SSD's with Vista x64 pre-installed, and only give you i920. That way, if you manage to make AM3 or PI actually work, at least you know that sooner or later the Firmware of the SSD will be flucked up by the high PCI-E needed to bench with high BCLK

[Aerou]

Careful Monstru, someone from MSI may watch this and wouldnt understand the sarcasm and then all would kill you on site for this joke

[dinos22]

wow 1M and AM3
what is wrong with these ppl

someone should slap them silly and tell them '01 and 32M

[massman]

Why is everyone so opposed to AM3? It's gonna be véry challenging!

[A2C]

Thrue massman, both of test is very fast and we have more time to tune the machines
