    Max ? Ocer or MSI Marketing ?

    in Offtopic

    From what I asked around, he's just an actor. Probably just like everybody else in the x99 series advertising.

    From the marketing standpoint, this is understandable, although IMHO since extreme oc is a bit of a niche market, I would prefer a real overclocker doing the ads, it's a little bit more 'credible' than just hiring an actor out of nowhere :)

    Result removed from contest and blocked. Not ran at default settings. Tesselation has been disabled inside the benchmark.

     

    To avoid the same mistakes, can you explain more about this man?

    I mean, tesselation can be disabled with the driver settings, and it is allowed here in hwbot. How can you disable tesselation 'inside the benchmark', and how is it different than the usual driver tweak?

     

    Thanks :)

    Imagine the overflow of good chips on the market,5-5.2 ghz will be on everybody's hands because most of them don;t scale on ln2.

    Bad for extreme oc.....good for enthusiast :D

     

    Sounds like DC was the SandyBridge rev.2 ? Hahah :P

     

    Still have to wait until 4th week July, Indonesian Intel distributor is so slow...maaaaan I want to try binning some DCs, no matter how junk that was :D

    if you buy from a good batch you only need to buy 5 cpu's. if you buy from a rotten batch you will need 100.

     

    The variance of those cheap cpu is going to be crazy. I mean, from 20 4770K of same batch(L316B291), the best I got is 5Ghz @ 1.25V 2c/2t pi 1M, the worst is 4.6 @ 1.25V 2c/2t pi 1M.

    But from some G3258s, I found a 4.9Ghz @ 1.25v pi 1m (maxxed 6.2Ghz pi 32M LN2), but i also found the one who can't pass 4.5 Ghz pi 1M even with 1.3 V.(5.5Ghz max valids LN2)

     

    If the silicon quality of retail Pentium G3258 were the same as the ES I tested in TW, then yes we're going to need hundreds of them before we found a good one :D :D

    The air/water category is interesting. Can you elaborate the "verification link must display the CPU and GPU temperature. For air and water cooling the minimum temperature must be 30°C." part?

     

    Does it mean, temperature can be controlled with LN2 Pot/chilled waterblock as long as the temp doesn't reach below 30 C?

     

    Oh, and can ES CPU and ES GPU(e.g MSI GTX 780 Ti Lightning) be used? Thanks :)

    Why only one per country :( If for example 2 german in Top 6 only 1 can go?

     

    If they compete in the same class, then yes only 1 can go.

    Rule like this has been around for quite a long time, and it might meant to make the contestant more 'diverse' across countries. You can still make 2 Germans pass though, you can compete one in class A, one in Class B :)

    One overclocker per country in Class A and B.

     

    Question:

    Does this mean:

    1) Maximum 2(two) person of same country qualified, one from class A, one from class B.

     

    or

     

    2) Maximum one person of same country qualified for MOA, either from Class A or Class B.(And in this case of one person only, if there's 2 candidates,one from class A and one class B from one country, which one got qualified?)

     

    Thanks,

    lol, nice result for that frequency...Congrats...;) Tweaks ? xD

     

    No tweaks man, Every setting done on BIOS(except BCLK), got the RAMs nice and tight on the subtimings, on a fresh install Win 8.1 x64. Actually this is one of those 'lucky runs' that somehow got bigger score. On average, this setting yields 1292 to 1298 score. On this particular run it got 1303.
