The main difference is that the sidebar is now visually split off from the main (center) part of the site. Also some finetuning of the typography etc.

Nice result! Can you share the coldslow BIOS for this card?

Must be an issue with the code then. We'll fix it when the final design is ready. Like it?

It's okay, failing is rather difficult (although it happens). Only thing that I needed to do was show 6400MHz 980X . Btw, Teemto is a recruit from the previous edition. He already had knowledge on AMD setups, but now he's playing all kinds of hardware AND contributing big time to the team! He also joined Leeghoofd in the MSI MOA Benelux 2011 live contest earlier this year

Thanks guys! Even though it took a lot of effort to get 1500 running, even though this is just a mainstream card and even though 3DM11 is not giving me any points here at the bot ... I had a lot of fun The results I achieve with the Hawk don't say anything about the potential of the DCU2. Heh. Yes, I should do that I'm not sure if it's memory CB, seems more like memory controller issue. I've tried keeping the memory hot wait a hairdryer and increased the memory voltage quite a lot, but no change. Maybe I have to try again. Damn! I've only used the hardmods posted in this thread. I don't think they are even necessary: this hawk has an OCP unlocked and there's software to control vgpu and vmem. I just like VRs! 1300MHz is, by the way, super-simple. I think it can be done on just dry ice temperatures.

Calculation should be accurate.

That music is actually a pretty good Belgian singer, Milow.

Here are the rest of the vids. Need to remove them from my phone .

Yes, but checking the 'do not participate'-button will not help the team.

No, we can't do that. Two reasons: - Practical: the engine only gives points to your best submission. If you beat your air submission with a score using liquid nitrogen, then you air submission will not receive points or ranking. - Conceptual: you can't be both enthusiast and extreme, you have to be either. If you use subzero cooling, you are extreme. If you don't use subzero cooling, you are enthusiast. It's 0 or 1, not both. Just to make sure there are no misunderstandings: it is NOT, and I repeat: NOT, allowed to have two accounts. So if you think 'oh, I will use this one for my enthusiast ranking and the other one for extreme cooling', both accounts will be blocked.

Needed to relax a bit, so decided to play a few hours with the MSI GTX 560 Ti again. Only objective was to run 1500 core through 3DMark11. Now, I can leave this card and bench it for HWBOT points some time in the future when I feel like benching for points . SETUP: - Core i7 990X - SF3D Inflection Point (keep CPU temp ~ 20°C) - GIGABYTE X58A-OC - 3x 2GB ADATA "no, not hyper" XPG+ series - MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk - Ryba Fat Pot - Coolermaster 1000W PSU SETTINGS: - FW 275.27 (big boost!) - 1.52V Vgpu - 1.98V Vmem - ~ -135°C - ~ 20L LN2 - too much crashes Picture: SCORE: [hwbot=2172183]submission[/hwbot] [hwbot=2172187]submission[/hwbot] [hwbot=2172188]submission[/hwbot]

Hah! That MSI heatsink is pretty cool! Too bad the memory is placed vertical on the mainboard.

Fun and also pretty interesting. Many people are saying that overclocking is not interesting to 'normal' people because it's such an artificial sport, but we saw something different! At this event, we explained the basics of X58 and GPU overclocking on air cooling to people who had 0 experience with the platform and afterwards we just let them play by themselves. Pretty impressive to see them push 990X to 4.8G on watercooling and try to max out the score, hehe. Before they started playing with the setups, we ran a reference score in Vantage Entry (~ 86k iirc) and based on that score each of the eight participants made a guess on what would be the highest score they (not us!) would achieve on the 4 setups. When wrapping up the first part of the demo (the air cooling overclocking), all the participants gathered around the setups closely watching the FPS go up and down and actually being excited about the end result . Of course, they are excited because of the prizes, but still ... within a very small timeframe they were only focussed on FPS, performance and MHZ rather than the 24/7 gain by overclocking. - Blind is the one behind the camera - the hairless one is Gamer: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/blind_ripper/oc%20academy%20at%20%20tones/DSC01720.jpg - the freaky one is Leeghoofd: http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90/blind_ripper/oc%20academy%20at%20%20tones/DSC01683.jpg

Well, this was actually upon community request: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24964

There was an issue with the UAT, I noticed. So I had to rebuild it entirely . Good catch on the team page! The user and team page are pretty similar, so we first made the user page and then transfered the entire page as template for the team page. They are two separate pages, but based on same content. Anyways, added to backlog .

Correct, only hardware.

Thanks! Benchmarks: 1)SuperPi 32m Mod 1.5XS (40% of total score) 2)3D Mark 11 (60% of total score) Rules: - Only MSI mainboards and MSI VGAs are allowed to be used. - For 3Dmark11, VGA must be using a single MSI N560GTX.(Any version) - Participants must take a picture(s) of the contest rig showing MSI mainboard and VGA clearly in it. (If part 1 and 2 are using different hardware, both pictures must be shown separately and clearly.) - No limit to cooling. ie, Ln2, DIce, SS, TEC, w/c etc are allowed. - No flashing/modifying of VGA bios. (ie, your bios specs in GPUz must coincide with the specs of the original model.) - No ES(Engineering sample) parts are allowed. - All submissions must have MSI MOA SG pre-selection image as wallpaper clearly shown. - Participants must be from SG or residing in SG. - Competition ends on 5th June 2359 URL: http://forums.vr-zone.com/the-overclockers-bay/1350754-msi-master-overclocking-arena-2011-sg-pre-selection-now-open.html

PaulC and Gzhill will go to finals was Philippines team?

Hardware points for performance, no points for the others. They won't be removed.

- validation link: added to backlog - superpi time: added to backlog I don't understand what you mean with the third question.

From thursday, we have a last week of fixing lay-out and design bugs. After that we planned 7 days to squash all feature bugs. Then it should be released
