Actually T-shirts as merchandise is quite common... It has been ongoing since Gigabytes first event... And actually even before that.. Well I am glad to hear that you are not staff (yet) because, then you are not criminal.

WTF?!?!? He so did 2 months ago! Where did he move to? I swear his workspace was in Canada back at CeBIT.

1) Board has been tested since what... January? (TeamAU and Hicookie around Asia & Aussieland) 2) I know Montreal event wasnt an overclocking event, dispite you being Gigabyte staff, they wouldnt have used you if it was in first place. (To my knowledge; Chew, Gomeler, FUGGER, Brian Y, Macci and the many other overclockers with experience in NA has not died within same month)

I did not mention Dusan, now did I? But the quantity of CPU-z compared to real tests has been very abnormal. I am not accusing Gigabyte of anything - but I hope that the many good overclockers out there have not given up on their own priorities.

Well I am honestly not onto only GT... Even the oldies with 4 cores are qualified... Just a REAL test, and WITHOUT motherboard limitation, only limitation is trying to remove the seeded results... I believe that many of the blokes out there with chips from the vendors will keep away, or use another chip.

I think the X58A-OC is a strong board, unfortunately the PR division either dont agree or simply dont consider stability of interest. If I had a product that on paper rapes everything else on the market, I would be eager to reveal it - to show off, to make the jaws drop... Not something that every single board can do... 7ghz CPU-z with the right chip, a UD3R can do just as well as the OC board... ... Im not saying that Gigabyte marketing made this call, but I am suggesting that HWBot as the leading competition site should consider making a little something.

I just got a feeling that some has been asked not to do more then CPU-z.... I see alot of 6.7-7.1ghz posts on XS, on facebook, but I dont see them followed by a test of which actually is CPU intense... Not many days ago Gigabyte even had an event in Montreal souly with the purpose of running CPU-z... I mean, come on...

I am naive, you are likely to smile and laugh... none the less... I suggest that the overclocking community stands together and tell marketing to back off... Alot of well known overclockers, and some more new and "coloured" have showed impressive CPU-z results on a particular motherboard lately - a board that isnt really build for CPU-z, but for REAL overclocking.. I suggest that a contest that is near impossible to monitor and control, therefor no prize for winning, nor big fancy press annoucements made - remove all things that can BIAS vendors... A contest by the overclockers, for the overclockers.... Wprime 1024 Rules; No specific vendor required No cpu given by a motherboard vendor or Intel allowed Time to see what R3E, R3EB, X58A-OC really is made of, and not just what PR divisions wants to see.... And you are right; Hicookie or AndreYang etc. they could send a fantastic chip to some overclocker who could say it is his own find - so it is a matter of honor, hope that a few overclockers out there has more ethics then going that low Cheers, and please leave your input, yes; I know that half of you are laughing by now.

I think it should be removed... Shoot me... I think that less vendor influence in the game would be a nice change....

ashame that the internet is as bad as feared. MSI really needs to take notice.... If wanting coverage and people to follow, actually if they wnat the marketing part.... It is a good idea to meet the requirements with just something that can be considered decent internet.

At GOOC 2010 WW finals, there was a LN2 filling zone, and LN2 dewars were supplied just fine, I think MSI has this under control too

My vote goes to Mink Machine

Super :-P Alternative just let me know, I spoke with a store about using 14-days return right, in order to find best webcams for my use, so yea, they kinda work well, hehe...

Let me know if you need one of mine... I live in Copenhagen, so Christian will likely pass by this way anyway.... The airports in Jutland is a bit of a joke, so doubt any flight go to Istanbul.

I am a noob at it, I would use 60mbit in avi with my 1080p But, contact Xyala, he might give ya some input.

Buddy, check the debate. Coordinate with Xyala - again; MSI has to my knowledge not confirmed 8mbit upload yet.

Hmm, you got something good? Alternative; need my new one? Still not found any H264 for it though.

Crap, I honestly thought there was, it is a gamer headset, gah....

But... Couldnt they "disconnect" using the mic-mute on the headset?

Solution... No push-talk, but volume controlled, so, extra work for you Tim :-P And then - no access to the laptop, meaning it will be closed, if lid is opened by anyone that is not media - well then falls the hammer... Wouldnt that be doable?

I dont know if Massman has been consulted, I would personally like to have one, atleast, that has not participated much in live events... G.Foyle, Stelaras or someone "known" from hwbot and/or XS, but not regularly participating in live events.... But hey - might just be a stupid thought. I think main thing is if the overclocker would like to.... One I am sure that is willing to participating is MONSTRU. Massman, please update first post with this picture; EDIT; No disrespect, but interested participants, especially among the contestants, should have a "good" level of spoken English - otherwise you are likely to end up stressing yourself and performing less in the competition of which should still maintain in focus. *Please dont take it as you must be a native, we still got Trouffman, ya know? ;-P

I think we should get Neo Sibeko 'theoverclocker' & James (something) 'youngpro' for the live talk, if possible. Skip the rev4 part as scheduled, no need to give massman a valid reason for failing ;-P And F1OC is dead, and was never running properly anyway.. Additional topics could be; Events in generel - rules for these, how/why the vendors misunderstand overclockers (the famous debate of a humble event over exclusive hotels etc.) As you already know; I am up for the fulltime speaking. Henry; There is no way of avoiding the cam, however, the questions you can avoid

Ok imagine this scenario Person A & B both work for company X Person A sends an email; There will be 16/8 mbit Internet Person B sends an email; We cannot confirm the Internet connection Do we agree that it seems they are not sure? There is not really anymore to it, I am not saying that Christians information are faulty, I am STATING that MSI has informed differently elsewhere... I dont see why this needs to be discussed further, it is pointless. Please dont do that buddy, benefits nobody revealing what was said in a private email.

Well I hope that you are right - MSI seems to have doubt. Hmm, I hope the other part is right, honestly I have been sleepy as hell today, but been showing Xyala & 3 fellow students Copenhagen in a weekend, I did not notice any contact about this today - and we were at National museet ~1PM... However, I vote +1 for livestreaming - it is much more appealing then the alternative that I spoke with Tim' about today. One of the problems with live streaming at the moment is that it requires prep, and MOA is ~friday... Getting the hardware, coordinating everything, is not exactly a snap with the fingers... Again why one has to push forward to MSI/Gigabyte/ASUS others; It is CRITICAL that they manage to give CLEAR signal regarding connectivity in advance... Not a priority = Alternative coverage then streaming.

That would indeed be fail. If MSI is having doubt about the bandwidth, and invited a media only for the purpose of live streaming, two seats covered with expenses, and then - another media, without experience in streaming, as being a mainly written media gets to use bandwidth for streaming.... Would make very little sense. Oh and for the love of this thread, I think I'll start some of that lovely music, you guys got such a nice taste!
