Well let's take belgium with 5-10 active overclockers, small country... advantage maybe easier to get together... Far harder to get 5 super scores in... ask Pt1t how many times I spammed him on MSN to get a score done... Take USA, what maybe 500-1000 active overclockers ? How many in Canada ? If those countries can't bring 5 high scores together then who can... ? Main issue in my humble point of view is : Coz there aren't big prices concerned some of the big boys don't compete or don't even bother to defend their national flag... I've spend cash on a 2nd hand 890X board, A75 board, and i7 860 CPU... just for this compo... I ripped apart my dad's pc to have access to the board and CPU... Think it's a bit narrow minded to mainly focus on the distance between overclockers. it takes me a 4 hour drive to get to my parents and back. Also that wharehouse overclocker comments ... Honestly would you refuse if a shop borrowed you a CPU or a few GPU's that a brand wants to get exposure for ? Or you have access to gear as a reviewer ? Wouldn't you use it ? If you refuse it coz it's unfair, good for you. I have a wife kids, 5 goldfish, 2 rabbits and a cat to feed... If I can save money in any way I'll do it... LN2 is already more than expensive enough here... It all takes planning, in fact quick planning who has got what gear available, access to LN2, etc... We had a good thread from day one of the competition at Madshrimps... XS was a bit slow at first... Mainly we all pretested stuff (if possible) and just came together coz we only have 2 LN2 dewars. If we all had our own dewars it might have been more of a individual benching session... If the polish, greeks, russians can do teamsessions, so can you... it isn't required to get everybody in the same room is it ? ...just my 2 cents....

I tested the different uncores and they seem correctly in balance...

Great one !! Job well done !!

Board has child protection build in... you are too young to handle it !

Retesting atm : X58 OC board 990X Corsair GTX2 1) with triple channel it doesn't work : no post 2) Dual channel I can boot at a 1:1 ratio uncore ram speed, not lower... will provide screenies later on... testing 133 bclock 2133 ram divider

Think the skill of going with 4 LN2 cards requires a bit more points... seems like a tough benchmark/setup to get right... as we see some flawed scores , that could have been far better at the ran speeds... Pj is cracking 19.2K right now with just 6.75Ghz and 4 X GTX580 cards. So hopefully 20K is possible with a bit more CPU ooomph...

I was surprised too Sam when I could select them dividers... since my CPU is not stellar in uncore ( caps at 4.2 Ghz under LN2 lol ) I opted to go for this divider... board X58 OC... normal uncore for these speeds should be 4.1Ghz...

sort off yeah

Brilliant PCM7 finds : we had a 200 webpage trick, but far from legal to be applied... so we skipped it... w ehad ram cache on win7, but our programs didn't work for Win8. Huge storage raid controller 8 SSDs, but this benchmark scales with jack shit... besides raw cpu power and software tricks It's totally anti hardware overclocking minded lol. We had an idea about virtu ! But we wanted to finish this nite with a 19K run on FX for the boys of Tones webshop. So we are still benching right now... Congratz again to all, I had a blast, hopefully so did you !

Congratz all !! Well done !! This was fun, now spill the beans with that darn pcmark7 benchmark lol I HATE IT, already wiped off my HDD Happy New Year all !! See ya in 2012 Thanks to the boys from Tones Webshop for the support !! You guys rule !!! :celebration: :celebration: Can you plz pickup the 12000 euro hardware material at my place plz... soon...

very efficient score !

Great work there sir !! Think this compois over once the Pcmark scors roll in Well done !!

Merry X-mass and a happy New year PS : my cat is more annoying than yours Chris !! 4 sure !!

I would love that the greeks no longer participated in giving feedback Hope you guys gonna do a full how to tweak pcmark7 guide... I already lost hours of sleep over this pos... outcome zero lol

It was far too cold in that living room... froze my butt off...

Inflection Point pot Frederik, unless this is a new line ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflection_point )

So USA is gonna drop the bomb on us all ? seems it's between USA, Poland, Bulgaria, Indonesia and Greece Thursday we will try the memory cpu-z and hopefully Pt1t and Cornerjack AMD 3D11... hoping we can finish around 5th spot...

We will let the USA slip by... anything for a box of chocolates

Was about time you lot showed up ! What took you so long ?

Wrong screenshot Jo !!! need more sleep lol

removed user config, tabbed disabling systeminfo, seems to run now... this benchmark is a monstrocity in my book...

Tried that mate, always freezes at collecting systemInfo, system get's very sluggish... tried running in Win7 mode, doesn't even pop up then. Administrator mode yes or no... crap program does nothing on my X58 setup... Well done Futuremark !! Another amasing product in the pcmark line...

Looking at some scores at FM seems top 30 is uberly tweaked with 3rd party software sigh.... I hope you lot can bring them down hard... not going so deep into this ahum benchmark... Cant even get the freaking thing to work on win8, just freezes the rig...

Canadians are also on top of it but on win7... can't breach 9K on the decoding part... sigh, hate software benchmarks

Great run Alex, greece going for 7.3 average it seems !!
