HWBOT Competitions

Nice competition! A pity that I only have the FX-6300 here by now... Have 3570K too but AMD is more fun

Having problems finding ECS FM1 boards ?

UPDATE BY HWBOT STAFF Alright, let's kick off this year's MSI Master Overclocking Arena! The official PR will be released at the end of this week, but obviously we'll leak the info a little early. Here's what the PR says, scroll down for more practical info: The Practical Stuff - Online Qualifiers Alright, so there will be 3 online qualifiers: Americas, EMEA and APAC. They will be running in different time frames and are also a little different in terms of qualification for the Grand Final later this year. Americas: 13/04 - 10/05, best of 3 continue EMEA: 18/05 - 14/06, best of 5 continue APAC: 15/06 - 19/07, best of 4 continue Fyi, there …

What does Winning Team (ECS user only!) in the prize structure mean? You are only eligible to win the prize if you use an ECS board?

no background?

2nd place is better then first in my opinion

Too bad it stats the day I go on vacation and I promised my girlfriend: Okay you won, no hardware on the beach ... Have fun guys

Hi guys! I'm making a quick video on MSI components and MOA. Can anyone fill me in on who is already in the finals? Thanks! Rbauss - ??? Splave - romdominance Gnidaol - OverHeat Xtreme addict - Piwor ryba - ??? smoke - slamms tolsty - cyclone Aristidis - Steleras Monstru - Matose 4 from APAC 3 from loc 16 teams total 32 oc'ers?

Let's get this one going! Two notes: First of all, there's an important addition to the rules compared to the Americas qualifier: "The following system components may not be shared between individual MOA participants: CPU, memory or graphics card.". This means a much tighter hw sharing regulation than normal at hwbot. Secondly, a point I already made in the other MOA thread. I'm all in for complaining how the limitations are too high-end for qualification stages and that we would prefer to see everything happen live. But, we have to make sure that MSI also knows that we love the MOA competitions and want them to continue this for at least another decade! …

This is the reason why I've been trying to figure out if Bulldozer is somewhat competitive in 3DMark11. Turns out a Thuban will suffice ... :-P //edit: http://www.overclex.net/news/hwbot-lance-une-competition-pr-pays/ http://www.erodov.com/forums/hwbot-cup-2011-a/47044.html http://forum.zwame.pt/showthread.php?t=685090&p=8314841#post8314841 http://www.teamhardwarevzla.com/foros/viewtopic.php?p=75294 http://www.criminalcafe.com/showthread.php?5330-HWBot-Country-Cup-2011-T%F3pico-de-discuss%E3o& http://www.ocfreaks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=247 http://www.ocaholic.ch/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=3853 http://forum.overbr.com.br/showthread…

Heya dudes! This year Below0.co.za made it possible for any South African to write an article or make a Video about MSI products and stand a chance to win a trip to MOA 2012 as press/party-time. More info here: http://www.below0.co.za/index.php/item/drweez/msi-soliciting-contest.html The contest ended last night. This is the video i sent as my entry, might as well add it to my channel More views and response will probly make my chances of winning greater, hope you like. (Im a very dramatic video maker so excuse the epic music if it's not your thing) It's basically a MSI MOA 2012 Hype video! Congrats to the guy's already going!

As said before, 680 Lightning is not allowed in this competition Also note that APAC overclockers can apply for a AB-xtreme for their 7970 Lightning card. Background: http://hwbot.org/blog/wp-content//MOA2012-APAC-Qualifier-wallpaper_1920x1080px_0507_V.jpg

Is there a bug with this portion, it says closed already

At HWBOT, we're currently planning a Team OC Cup competition with a set up similar to the the yearly Country Cup. The plan is to feature several seasons per year, each season with different hardware, different benchmarks and different limitations. As said, we're currently in the design phase trying to gather everything we learned from the past three Country Cups and figure out how to improve the competition format. I expect the first season(s) to be quite similar to the Country Cup. In the second half of 2012, I hope we will have a functional version of a neat application we're working on that should make this kind of competition more exciting. We're still thinkin…

Anyone up for that 2800 kit? :-)
