Master Overclocking Arena 2009

[ryba]

I just received MSI Eclipse SLI and MSI N285GTX Superpipe OC, no CPU or RAM yet..

Hahaha, the same situation like last year. Some ppl had ref 9600GT and some had non-ref 9600GT by MSI...

Great organization as always

I will recive my package tomorrow, we will see what I have there.

Like gprhellas said, in the comp.rules they save you get just mobo and gpu

Way to go msi

[Benji Tshi]

I always thought it was only mainboard and vga, but 260, not 285
My hw will arrive mid-week (according to MSI-FR)...Crossing fingers to have the right hw

[Wava]

I think MSI decided to use the GTX285 rather than the GTX260. But it's very hard to find the correct vmods for the 285. We used it in the dutch finales and we couldnt find any voltmods for it. I hope some people are willing to share if they find them....

Hey people,

The reason the nordic countries got a N285GTX is as a price, decided by their marketing person, they will receive a lightning this week as well. As I sent all of you in a word file (for the countries that are under our office) we will use Eclipse SLI and 260GTX Lightning for MOA and you will also receive a CPU and set of memory at home. The memory we will use is: OCZ DDR3 PC3-17000 Blade Series CL9 Edition Low Voltage Triple Channel.

If there is any uncertainty, please just contact me through this forum or email (everyone in countries supported by our office have my email address; since I sent you all an email last week ) then I can clarify any issue.

Oh no ze mad germans with ze knifes :p

Eh Eh

ANywya thanks MArco for the details

A live scoreboard is a must have \o/ !

[Wava]

@Marco, thanks for the information. But how many teams will advance to the next round in Beijing? Is there just one team that will advance, or will there be multiple teams?

The top 5 of this event will pass to the worldwide Master Overclocking Arena 2009, to be held in Beijing in August.

That's not what's writing in the rules...:/

All overclockers will use the same hardware components to tweak, bench and modify: MSI Eclipse SLI, MSI N260GTX Lightning, Intel® Core™ i7 950 CPU, Seagate Hard disc drive and OCZ DDR3 memory. The top 5 of this event will pass to the worldwide Master Overclocking Arena 2009, to be held in Beijing in August.

Strange but i all have different information

[Benji Tshi]

Yep. My contact send me a 6 pages document which says that there will be only one team....All this story is strange !

[Gendo]

I believe it's 5. There will be 20 teams in Bejing, it would be strange to only have 1 from Europe and the other 19 from Asia, USA and China.

[Marco_MSI]

You are right, it does says that the winner of the event goes to China. This is wrong, it is indeed the top 5 of Europe that will proceed to the Global finals. Sorry for that mistake

There must be a contact who told everybody could go to Beijing

So did I, last wednesday or so. Not that I'm in the final or anything.
But to be honest... Considering the mess, I'm glad not to be. Aiming for GOOC next time round again, or something like that.

[A2C]

S...I'm glad not to be. Aiming for GOOC next time round again, or something like that.

or for AOOC maybe. Will been this year too?

[Mean Machine]

or for AOOC maybe. Will been this year too?

Yeah, I hope for that. Don't expect too much from that though, as there's at least three or four people running for the swedish place other than me. :P

[hifiking]

We got a MSI Eclipse as a prize today, not the one we will use in DE. But after a few hours of "nothing works" it has behaved nicely. As good as my UD-5 and RE II.

[Benji Tshi]

The website of MOA 09 speak about top 2 qualified, and each team can pick a team mate...so 4 teams from EU in the grand finale....

1, 2, 4, 5, 6 teams ?????

[massman]

Probably 2 overclockers + 2 partners = 2 teams of 2 people

[Baron_Greenback]

Hey guys, 1st post in this thread.

Our kit for the UK turned up on Sat. However, the UK team is still not listed on the MOA website

[giorgioprimo]

i was confirmed 1st 5 team classified will go to china
