Hey all, After the SF3D OC Gathering Vol.X binning event, I quickly tested the 20 Core i 7 3770K chips I brought over for IMC overclocking capability on air cooling. Test system: - Core i7 3770K (obviously) - Simple air cooler with 1 fan - GIGABYTE Z77X-UP5 TH - GSKILL TridentX DDR3-2666C11 There are four states: - "ok" means the CPU can boot up with that memory frequency - "66" means the CPU cannot boot up with that memory frequency - "51" means the memory was not capable of that frequency (like "55" on M5G) - "/" means untested setting Of the 20 tested CPUs ... ... 20 passed DDR3-2400 test ... 19 passed DDR3-2600 test ... 18 passed DDR3-2666 test ... 13 passed DDR3-2800 test ... 2 passed DDR3-2933 test ... 0 passed DDR3-3000 test I've verified the testing on the M5G, the results were of course the same. I also tested the 2933 CPUs with memory under cold and then passing DDR3-2933 was no problem anymore, which indicates that "51" was related to the memory rather than the CPU capability. The chart:

Just FYI, work-in-progress http://hwbot.org/news/7751_7751 (draft)

Doubt anyone can compete with that ... unless there's a rap-star in our little community.

James shifting up a notch ... released an even better rap!

Looks cool! More info on the event?

This one totally explains my Visa bill ...

This is what happens if OC team buddies come over to bench for Team Cup. This is the "cleaned up" version

Should be eligible as it launched last month. Then again ... has anyone seen any retail cards? Haven't seen any in the forums yet. The 'easiest' way to compete would be the single GPU overall ranking. You'd need a 'normal' X79 chip (or a good Ivy) + 680. Still expensive, though. Hahaha ... believe me, MSI is not making any direct profit from sales through MOA.

For graphics score you'll want highly clocked Ivy as well

Overclock.net still ... let's change that :-) :-)

Since 'some people' (read: SoF) are complaining about Facebook hosting the pictures, I've re-hosted them at Photobucket so you can see them at this forum too :-). Comments are still funny at Facebook too:

Okay, should be fixed .

Ion2 is integrated: http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/nvidia_ion_2_integrated/

PM info on the run?

Part of the chipset or part of the CPU .

Damn. No excuse for this on my behalf, it's taking too long. Thanks for the aggressive heads-up, IMOG. Much appreciated!

I just updated the prizelist today .

Added to buglist, thanks for reporting!

The ranking is by score, the 'latest submissions' tab by submission date.

Updated a bunch of scores for WR points today, FYI .

Hehe ... I wonder if Sami will like this :-)
