    Xtreme Addict you really deserve this ticket on MOA 2012

     

    Gyus, how about buy ticket in Taipei in 2013. Beer, sun and ocean, it will better than OC contest :D

     

    Haha, thx :) Beer, sun and sea, I like it :D and afterparty with some vodka

     

    Agree for both :D

     

    thx ;)

     

    excellent idea ahahahah.

     

    4x vote for yes :D

     

    Tested new 3960X - only 5.25 GHz, tomorrow I will test new 3930K. I will 2x new Ivy 3770K before the end of MOA, but I won't be able to organise new Z77A-GD65

    Not even for a ticket, just for a chance to play for a ticket ;)

    And that is really sad. I suppose next time I'll take a tour to Taipei for the money that could be spent on contest hardware. Should be more than enough.

     

    Some people like I in Poland hadn't had chance to participate in MOA earlier. The only normal MOA polish edition was in 2009, firstly there were online qualifications and 4 best participated in live event contest, I was third then in live event. Then in 2010 there wasn't MOA in Poland, in 2011 MSI Poland organised live event contest only for Team PCLab (G.Foyle and yotomeczek) and ryba (ASD crew). So this year I made up my mind and decided to buy all needed hardware and fight for finals. It's bad that we need so much hardware for it which is very fragile, and it would be nice if there were semifinals live but like I said, for me it was the only chance and I am very happy with 2012 MOA edition via HWBOT. Maybe next year MSI would develop this form, and make HWbot qualifications for live semifinals, it would give more fight, bigger show, more prices for participants :)

    I have too much bad luck and I am getting old, cause I am not extremely mad about it, in fact I was sure that I will lose this CPU in that board. It's only DrMOS, but MOA needs blood of innocent victims lol. With a bit of luck my result will let me win ticket so not too bad. The only positive thing is that new CPU seem to clock better and better than older batches so maybe I will find even a better one :D

    Massman it's magic :D

     

    Xtreme Addict bad news... it was before when you want save screen on 6,7 ghz run?)

     

    Yes, I only found 6.6 GHz crappy run saved... So officially I am out of MOA, no more Z77 board and good CPU even if I order new staff I doubt I will be able to test it before 14.06 :( I will only test today LGA2011 when my CPU arrives

     

    @cyclone

     

    I agree, even when Asus board has cpu power circuit failure, CPU is still alive, in MSI it equals = dead

    Ok guys, I am finally end for MOA.

     

    My costs:

     

    I bought 3x MSI Lightning HD 7970 - 2000$

    Intel Core i7 3770K 6700 Spi 32M is dead - priceless + 330$

    MSI Big Bang II XPower is dead, working only 3 channels DIMMs - 400$

    MSI Z77A-GD65 is dead, VRM phases is dead, start and random shutdown under load - 200$

     

    Totally: 2930$

     

    And we have two ways now:

     

    1. When Smoke come back from Taiwan buy new Lightning and X79A-GD65 650+250$

    2. Buy 2 tickets in Taipei and be as guests! :D price 1500-2000$

     

    Sorry to hear, I completely understand you

     

    I bought:

    5x Lightning 7970 (3 are dead)

    2x Z77A-GD65 (one is locked to x16 multi)

    X79A-GD45 (the only available) but it appeared that my 3930K C1 retail (5450 MHz) is half dead and doesn't work on MSI boards, so I RMA'ed it

    3960X C2 (cause my 3930K died) which will be on Monday

    3x i7 3770K, but it was not bad move, I found 6.7 chip :)
