  1. Ok, so it's totally fine to use same components with different "unique hardware" per stage (vga, ram, cpu, etc.), make a nice photo of the system from a different angles + a photo of the people who participated in the party?! Yeah, that's what I call CountryCup spirit...

     

    You would rather to have a situation like last year with 3 x same model golden CPU? Fine by me, let's have the 2k1 with E8600 and se who can keep up....

     

    CountryCup means TEAM effort, TEAM spirit, not individual competing. That means people working together. As long as the rules are respected, what is the problem? Sandy Bridge? With Sandy Bridge the chances are pretty much equal, since they all go the same. The mobos are in stock since last years, the CPU's are available in retail since the upcoming Monday, and they are officialy launched since Jan 3rd. Most 2500K and 2600K can go 5300-5400MHz. Equal chances.

     

    @KB - We have SB in Romania and you don't have them in Norway? A....LOL? :)

  2. Hmm, I like this different hardware rule, it makes people find the best 3 solutions and use them, instead of using the obvious 3 x same most powerfull solution (like 3 x GTX 580 for 3 Unigine scores, now had to be done with GTX 580 and two other model VGA's). I think this is a very good addition to the competition. At this moment the only 2 things I am not very fond of are the period for the competition, and the Maxxmem which I personally really do not like, but that's just my opinion :)

  3. You know matose, allways unlocking something, allways trying to open the doors that were closed by manufacturers.This time the subject is SLI on AMD 890FX boards, and we're talking about SLI, with 60-70% scaling numbers, not Lucid Hydra mixed multi-card. In this case, he used Asus Crosshair IV Extreme, and the PCI-E slots used were nr 1 and nr 3, that are connected directly to the chipset (in order to bypass the Hydra chip controlling the slots nr 2, 4 and 5.

  5. I would like to know, that have someone really bought UD9? In Finland 0 boards have been sold so far. Price is 517€, so I can see the reason there.

    If that board is loosing some very valuable performance in 4-way, I can not see any reason to even test it. Buying one would be even more ridiculous.

     

    UD9 sold like 10+ piece here. Not a problem with UD9 1.0 so far.

     

    Problem is...RE3 sold much more, and people are very upset because the socket is Foxconn, not Lotes like on my sample (my RE3 sample that is), the RAM slots are some chinese stuff, not Lotes like on my sample, when they use a high pressure cooler they loose the RAM channels, which does not happen on my sample, and so on...
