This is called "0% fat" .

Can I get it as well? I don't have a MSI card at the moment (sold my 7970 Lightning), but you never know. And we don't have a local rep. I've tried to contact some rep in EU several times in the past and either get no answer, or something like "download the regular version from our website".

I use original motherboard boxes, or boxes from another mobo, sometimes stacked and padded 2 or 3 motherboards in the same box. For VGA either original boxes or for bare cards esd bags, then bubble-wrap and stacked in larger boxes. For CPUs - some in original plastic holders, some (the s.A) stacked inside a cardbord boxes, some in hard plastic trays (blue ones). For RAM - most are in plastic trays, others in esd bags.

11 was/is considered faster and more stable, but I think it had been related to something specific to bioses/chipset revisions back then. To me 5 is faster on my boards and bioses I use (self-modded latest offcial bioses for my boards). For me 5 > 7 > 9 > 11, exactly how it should be. BTW, nice score! I should have played safe and just use the chiller.

Long story Check comments in Stelaras' 3dmark01 submission. Great job everyone and nice competition.

I had all needed weapons: Windows 2000, AGP freq at 99MHz, Ti 4600 that does 440/820 on LN2 (I think mem freq would help more than AGP 8x on other cards), an XP-M able to bench Pi 32M at 3.5GHz, a board that does at least 260MHz stable FSB. And I didn't even make a single score... It is my fault, because due to lack of time I postponed this until the very end and it always happens like this. The SS was refilled 2 times already without any luck. It was dropping temps very slowly. I left it idle with system turned off and the evap temp dropped to -55. As soon as I start the system temperature keeps rising, CPU temp too. So I don't know...it's either clogged or lost gas again.

Bad luck, but not better for me either. I have no score. SS seems to not hold at all (losing 1 deg per second on the evap), otherwise I could run at 3.2-3.3 just on phase. Also problems with boards, because several CPUs did not post in AN7 and when I hooked up the chiller in the last hour, windows wouldn't start. Not a bad score though. And you win the competition as well Congrats!

@zafiropo: Don't worry, the 3DMark01 stage is yours (Stelaras). I had only 2-3L LN2 in the dewar. Not sure what is left, but definitely not enough and I haven't benched it yet .

I am aiming at 3+ GHz, but have to change the second CPU. Didn't want to put my best CPU on that board, but maybe I will have to... Or it might be the board, since both CPUs were kind of equally good when I tested them on AN7 in the past. At 2.9+ GHz and 2.05V set, the voltage drop is enormous... Anyway, I will try one more time, but also need to bench for 1st stage.

Let's see what Greeks have prepared for us

Why do you guys keep running on the wrong OS?

Great one. Dedication pays off!

No, 150x18 is not stable on stock cooling and 1.8V (max 1.85V set in bios). But definitely will improve it soon. Could probably run 138x19 or 140x19.

Nope. But tried about 15 runs at 1990 12-11-28 220 1T and no 743.

@Strunkenbold that's a bad experience. Reminds me not to put my best CPUs in there. The one I got have 2 MPs to get me running and see how the board behaves. FSB is limited, but pinmod shoud be possible for multipliers above 12.5x. @Mr\.Scott it would be very generous, since I don't find anything meaningful on the net Actually find one page: http://www.emboss.co.nz/k7d/

@Mr\.Scott Any good or do I really need the Asus board that I can't find anywhere at decent price?

Does anyone have an experience with MSI K7D Master L? I've never had dual board before, so it will be a first-time experience.

Didn't we all know it from the beginning? I managed to source one dual board as well.

Damn great one!

Yes, they do. You can find the download link on the oc-esports.io site, when you select a stage: http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/osibs_s2r3/2592/3dmark01:_socket_a_+_geforce_4 Or direct download link: http://hwbotnews.s3.amazonaws.com/Competitions/1376-1380_OldSchoolBestSchool2016/Backgrounds/OSiBS%20S2%20Wallpaper%20R3.jpg

Yes, you can submit "indefinite" number of scores until the end of the stage. Higher always counts.

It's not insane, it is just the correct windows for wPrime and s.462

Maybe it depends on memory as well. I can boot 1T around 3900-3920 at max on my OCF, above that 2T is needed to boot, otherwise 00->19->00->19. Haven't found any magic setting that helps 742 XTU seems to be more luck than anything else. Maybe OS plays a role somehow, but I did not see difference with tight timings.

The position of Jupiter is not optimal.

Me neither. Got 741 literally with the first run with B-Die, but 742 is not going to happen, unless I re-run it a whole day maybe...
