    The official MSI Godlike OC Tournament: Extreme 3D Battle thread.

    in HWBOT Competitions

    Posted · Edited by Lucky_n00b

    Hi all,

    I noticed that all the 3D Stage in this competition is limited to GTX 960 GPU, and a couple months ago my team tested the MSI GTX 960 GAMING 2G with some hardmods + extreme cooling, which can be found here:

    http://www.jagatoc.com/2015/05/extreme-overclocking-msi-gtx-960-gaming-2g-1-8ghz-gpu-clock/

    *it's in Indonesian, but you can use Google translate just fine

     

    In our short ln2 test the GPU managed to do 1840-1900ish, we'll probably see something around 2 Ghz+ in this competition :D

     

    Hopefully that will help some of you guys who want to compete in that category :)

     

    Cheers,

    How do you not eventually turn into a d-bag in overclocking?

    Just as Albrecht said,

    ..if you aren't able to enjoy it anymore, no matter the hardware you bench go find another hobby

     

    Overclocking is a hobby, and competition are supposed to make things more enjoyable in this hobby of ours. And since the competitiveness of overclocking grows by the day, somebody will eventually find a way to get ahead of others, and this is NOT a crime.

     

    - Somebody found a legit tweak and won't share it? Let them be, it's their RIGHT to do so after spending some many hours searching for that particular tweak. Of course, If you find something that you wanted to share, it's always welcome :)

    - Somebody got a support/sponsor/sample/hardware-for-friends-only? Let them be. Maybe that somebody tried hard to get notified by their current sponsors, and spends most of their time testing/debugging stuff, and if that is rewarded, it is well-deserved, no? ;)

    - Somebody binned a lot hardwares? Let them be. Binning requires an effort too, whether it's the money spend on binning, or searching for 'sponsors' to get them ahead of this sillicon lottery.

     

    After all, isn't overclocking all about doing whatever we can to make a piece of PC component go faster than it supposed to do? Why would we let anyone's action stopped us from having fun with our hobby? If by some reason, competing make this hobby less enjoyable, then don't compete, just overclock for whatever reasons that make you happy and enjoy it :)
