Lol. If I were you, I wouldn't even tell your you made that post

Oh, FYI. The A4 and A6 CPUs as well as the HD4290 mainboard were purchased this week. So, no, didn't have them in advance ...

Yes, that's very true. I think there's a solid 37k (maybe even 38k) left in that HD4290 setup. Another 12k with that A4, another 7k with the A8, etc etc. We can't do this 3 days in a row, though, so I think we're doing fine with the limited time and hardware (not really limited, but always just one board/cpu combo).

A last night session for Team Belgium last night. We basically had to do 4 of the 5 scores, so time was an issue. I returned home at 6AM (benching from ~8PM, but it was worth it. Great team spirit, nice scores, some hair-pulling retarded hardware, but ... in the end we did fine for time/hardware we had available Videos later.

Sh1t !

Very impressive, mate! Well done!

Worst board I've worked with in A VERY LONG time. 120HTT => artifacts. 113HTT => artifacts. 111HTT => no boot. Clear CMOS => SET THE OC SETTINGS!!!

Save them board for teh next time !!

Okay, decent one: 5500MHz on the CPU, 1250MHz Memory. FYI, I found there is a way to bin the CPU on air. I tested it with this CPU and it worked like I expected. What you need to do: - go in bios and set all VRM config like you'd do for extreme OC - run 2c2t (to save heat) - set vcore to 1.55~1.6V - set bclk to 100 Now, increase the CPU ratio. In the beginning, you will be able to boot straight in to OS. After a while, it will crash at OS loading (for W7, it will lock at the ball swinging moment), but when pressing the reset button, the board will reboot. This means it can run this frequency with better temps! Once you lock and pressing reset doesn't work, you've found the maximum frequency of your CPU. In my case, I could always reset from lock-up upto 55x. With 56x, I could not reset and had to power off the entire setup. The end result was 5510MHz for my CPU under LN2.

Why not?

Apparently it doesn't work well. 4 people submitted a result to the competition at hwbot, although the page clearly said this was a non-HWBOT competition:p. Deleted the competition.

Guru3D got 5G stable. How? http://www.guru3d.com/article/gigabyte-x79-ud7-review/

Didnt' notice. Only noticed I cannot boot up with quad channel anymore; hangs at b7. Triple works just fine.

It's a competition hosted at OCClub.ru for Russia and ex-USSR countries. I'm just testing out the new HCE functionality to see if I can properly reference ongoing competitions not hosted by us. Link: http://www.geilmemory.com/onlineevent/occlubru/index.html

... I don't want to freeze my ass off when benching (if it's not necessary) ... Been testing F4d now. Got upto 4900 in OS now. Seems a little bit better. //edit: bclk is WAAAY better now. The ratios are actually working now

Let's also hope it will drive more vendors to hosting (live) competitions

Okay, competition structure set in place . Pre-qualifier - http://hwbot.org/competition/moa2011_americas Qualifier - http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_americas_2011/ - http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_emea_2011/ - http://hwbot.org/competition/fm_loc_2011/ - http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_apac_2011/ - http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_2011_qualifier/ Grand final - http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_ww_2011/ Still to-do: - link users to competition teams - improve roadmap - recalculate UCP based on rankings - add more pre-qualifier results

Lol. 200MHz higher than Fatality board?

On our test server - yes. On public server - not yet.

The ranking in the sidebar is actually the ranking of the competition (%) and not the UCP. The UCP distribution for level 3 competitions is 50, 40, 30, 20, 10. Distribution across members is a point of debate still. We could split (as it's joined effort), but then a Competition like Country Cup would generate a very little amount of UCP for the winning team (50 divided over 38 members for CC'10). We could give everyone the same amount, but then we risk devaluating the UCP. TBD!

Fyi, the current revision of hwbot allows us to keep historical records of competitions that were not hosted at hwbot. I'm currently trying out this feature on all the MOA 2011 events this year. Example: http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_emea_2011/ http://hwbot.org/competition/fm_loc_2011/ http://hwbot.org/competition/moa_apac_2011/ Currently, points are not being awarded yet, but that'll come in this or the next revision. The plan is to add another tab to your profile where you can see in what competitions you have participated and how well you did .

Okay, sounds good. We shall try this in the next HOC in January
