both suck yes

I tested both kits on the same hw setup withing a week and even cleaned the slots after the first results; then tested the kit on another impact without any differences on the results.

so you are saying that the vendor would have the ability to test the "limited-and-only-available-through-him" hw and distribute accordingly? oh well...

So, if you consider this plus the need of invoices in order to avoid hardware sharing and usage of "samples"; that could be also called double standards, no?

Hello everyone, I made this thread in order to share my experience regarding the ultimate DDR4 kit for overclockers made by Galax. As many, I bought the HOF card ($430 + $160 customs) + the OC Lab mems ($350) in order to participate on the GOC competition, hoping to qualify for the finals. In order to do some testing, I got a friend's Galax OC Lab kit that did 4000~ 12-11-11 with wazza @2v. At this point, I thought it would be ideal to order my own even tho my friend wouldn't participate (eventually he sold his kit to another participant). When I received the new kit from Galax, I tested the same profile on the same cpu & mobo, as I did on the previous one. Kit couldn't run spi with wazza @2000 MHz 12-12-12 with less than 1.97v (1.97v works rarely; more makes it worse); it also doesn't boot sub 1.95v @12-11-11. Spi fails right after initial loop with 2~v. Note: Mad mentioned at some point, that all kits should do Spi32m with wazza @2000 12-12-12 with 1.9v or less. Trying to troubleshoot, I used another 3 cpus and different OS versions with no luck. A week ago I made a video showing the issue and sent to Galax OC Lab (Facebook profile) with no response (even tho it was read within 12 hours) so far. No news from Mad either. Unfortunately, another user (at least one) had the same experience (kit doesn't run @2ghz 12-12-12 and also no response from Galax). On the same time, others gotkits that run 4100/4200+ 12-11-11 with wazza... quite fml at this point hehe At this point I am just hoping I will have enough time to participate & my card to compensate the mems on the 3d stages. Any thoughts/ideas on what to do next? Thanks, Stavros PS. this post has been censored in order to remove thoughts of a "I spend 920€ to participate and got less chances than others" guy Oh, also "you ran mems too tight" replies are also expected and more than welcome.

same here; maybe will have to use new tool for vgpu and old for vmem?

lock pls

Will probably keep the mems as I found out that they perform in an unexpected way after testing them GPU Bumpity bump

Thanks guys. Really appreciated; I guess I was just unlucky. Hopes for the next time tho ^^

thanks brotha; really appreciated.

Hello, since unfortunately I will not be able to participate due to personal issues (health), I am selling the gpu+mem combo to someone else. My family received the stuff 2 days ago, checked them (so guaranteed no DOA) but I will have to wait before coming back from Serbia which will probably be after qualification round. Price of the combo is 800€ (paid 910€ with customs included) without shipping & paypal fees. All invoices will be provided to the buyer. Shipping with Greek post usually takes 2-3 working days but can also ship with DHL Express/UPS if necessary. Thanks, Stavros

At the beginning I was thinking that I could sell the card for 300 later (so just 100 € loss) ... then customs happened. :'(

damn... 150+ for clearance incoming tomorrow

any issues with customs?

I am in as well PS. except if I am unlucky and get customs clearance + DOA... that would be deadly

Gone for Genieben

open for offers; want to get these gone

sorry #notsorry

Yes; reserved for zafiropo

Bump

sorry for asking but using 3cores/6threads is the new way to run gpupi or it was based on any rules?

First oc (air) : 13 Dry ice : 14 or 15 Ln2: 15/16 So 6-7 years since my first subzero experience and 5-6 since ln2.

offers for trades also accepted.
