holy shiot nows the time to post a 7970 lightning on ebay cotdamn! $900 thats more than I paid lol Im sure it was not MSI's intention to have no stock, Im sure they would have rather been able to SELL their products to the contenders. But great work to all the guys that ran reference cards, you had to work 10x harder then us with lightnings....my wife could have clocked this card to 1680/1920 Glad this is over, because now its IVY TIME!@!#$@#$

good luck to all

hey mate I have scores leading up to this and it was reproducible for me

I get credit for this right? lmao Honda I think the chips are more efficient with a smaller delta between core and pot. Less voltage less heat..

ding ding ding

I was just kidding nice run man

yep that looks like poo, guess you need a gene or gd65 if you dare muahahahaha

^lmao

agreed my 6.6 chip took 1.336v to boot x50 other one took 1.48v to boot x50

hahaha

ancient Japanese secret I see that you have found it as well. Great run!

sweeet chip i am envious

we will see on the gene tomorrow

thanks, I agree

Okay thanks, going to be moving around then but my wife has a strong back she can deal lol

Any ideas when the finals are approx?

just have fun and run at 5ghz, everyone is a buzz kill with rules lately it seems

Lightning 7970 cost me $800 so almost the cost of two lmao importing was only option. maybe they will modify rules so this does not happen again lol. thanks for all the congrats guys was really fun till all this stuff happened...

great run!

thanks mate! was a blast

its an honor system really and honor can be short these days, there is no way to enforce any type of cheating to be honest. Screen shots with exact same hardware cannot be proven, 3dmark links arent always required and even those dont matter...IMO you shouldnt take the bot so serious..Serial number pictures are useless, video is useless. Cut away for a second and pan back in and boom is that another card or same card? people make hwbot points a reason to benchmark and thats not the right way, hwbot points should be a by product of doing what you enjoy. In any arena of life there will be cheaters, juicers, and rule breakers it something we have to live with.

DID I WIN? I forgot, even websites barely mention me for winning lol http://www.overclocking-tv.com/content/news/13866/msi-moa-2012-americas-the-results/ oh well Im the Rodney Dangerfield of OCing

this picture duke posted is hard to ignore, hopefully they will explain what happen. Rbuass you should ask Gnidaol to come help explain and clear your names and move on. I will no longer comment, this is not my fight hope everything get straightened out.

^ wow does not look good

not to be mean but in a contest arent you supposed to use purchased product? I would think it would not be fair for 80% of the list to have to buy their MSI products when some are given for free. Just my 2 cents, and perhaps others dont share my views.
