Awesome!

Smoke had worse physical job lol

Hahahha

memories 1900+, during MOA I did my MOA result 1730/1900, didn't tested more

Hey For sell Lightning 780 GTX based on samsung memories (special MOA version). Price - 550 euro including shipping in EU

Firstly I really want to congratulate T0lsty! His GPU was awesome and he did very well pushing it to the limit! 2x times 1st place during 2 weeks - AWESOME! Also of course Lucky_n00b also performed great scoring 2nd place! It was a tight battle in the end! Congrats Alva! With % points on MOA it's always ALL about GPU in fact Event was VERY good this year. Benching place was nice. I was suprised that MSI decided for a closed event, cause it's always better for marketing, but for us ocers, this place was very good. We had a lot of light (not like last year - dark, loud, a lot of viewers which don't help during benching ). Only in my opinion preparation time was a bit too short, I had to use a lot of time from SuperPI to end system mounting, especially that it takes much more time when you are benching alone. In my case: I got good cpu, but not good gpu (very weak core). SuperPI 32M - I failed this stage, I had a lot of problems with memories, couldn't set them right and achieve high frequency, I had very bad efficiency with RTL57 and so on, but I couldn't tighten it, finally in the end I managed to tighten a bit main timings, but I had time only for one run and efficiency was overall very bad for those clocks of cpu. I am pretty sure that my memories were dying cause after SuperPI run I went to BIOS to save profile and it freezed and both memory sticks were dead... Good that MSI/Corsair prepared for everyone replacement! Cinebench - it went okay, I had a bit higher score but it crashed during screenshot. 3DMark - my GPU was not good 1730 GPU to achieve was a real fight. Memories were okay (1900 but no more). My GPU couldn't bench with -90/-100 caused 3D crashed. I had to bench at -80*C. This contest for me went smoothly (comparing to AOOC 2013 - in Moscow we had a lot of strange issues, problems - simply with Perica we had bad luck like dead cpu, problems with software, drivers, motherboard and so on). This time I had no problems with motherboard, cpu and gpu itself, everything was working okay, only on first kit of memories I had problems, but second was working on air better than previous on ln2 I remounted platform completely 2x times, first time after SuperPI (memories appeared to be dead, I thought that motherboard simply froze too much), and second time after cinebench cause I started to have some isolation issues (wet dram slots) so cause I had time, I warm up everything and did new isolation. But MSI hardware worked very good, stable, Mpower Max and Lightning are strong pieces of hardware, only I had bad luck with bad sample of GPU (My elpida card is flying 1800+ easy but Elpida efficiency...). If both GPUs were on the same memories, I think that final ranking could differ a lot All in all I am very happy. Top 3 on such worldwide event competing against best ocers in the world is a very good achievement. This MOA Final was organized very well. Now looking for more fun during Freestyle battle.

good job

My first test of Mpower Max @ LN2 Board is really good

I tried to compete, but cpus appeared to be shits and a lot of dead hw, now no time - it's MOA time. Wish you best results!

26th 23:55 departure

It;s hasfail... I had one CPU 5 GHz @ 1.35v 4/8 boot to OS and run SPI32M and I put it to the box, 5 days later it couldn't enter OS AC 5 GHz anymore... true story it's still alive but it can now only do 4.9 @ 1.325v 4/8 to boot OS/run spi32m, 5 GHz without cold (like SS) is now IMPOSSIBLE

nice

Great, I made an order

Count x1 for me.

strong cpu

Epic

Holy... 2800 C6 with high cpu!

Killer CPU man

Preparations

Crazy Allen! So far I haven't got so high CPU-Z on MFR lol

Great

Check FB

We should be glad that there is another live event In my opinion it's 100% fair when companies sponsor OC contest, they have full right to give restrictions to their products to , of course when there are no restrictions - it's more interesting, but be honest, for 2D you don't need 1500W PSU, 600-700W Coolermaster should be more than okay and cost of it is very low comparing to other parts and you don't need to bin PSU In this contest you shouldn't worry about PSU but about CPU/MEMORY

The same was on HD6970, a lot of cards started to have artefacts -5/-10*C or even CB
