This is with my last 2 liters(only got -70 C) http://hwbot.org/submission/2531958, not too good My yesterday's benching session failed completely, have soo many troubleshooting from morning to evening - that's what I get for trying to do everything in the last elimination day I guess (x_x)

Whoa, the number of overclockers attending Computex this year is getting more and more epic! Should we wear some specialized nametag with our hwbot nickname on it so we recognize everyone from the Bot? Haha

Top 6 will be selected, so based on the CPU quality on the Kingston H.O.T Qualifier, I'll predict these 6 overclockers have good chance of entering the live finals: - Vivi - 8pack - XA - John Lam - Splave - DFORDOG Also Dancop, and TeamAU boys might have a good run for fire strike with their 780 Ti Anyway, would be really interesting competition to watch, Good Luck guys! :)

After my 1st card died, I sent mine to MSI HQ and they sent it to me again, and said it's equipped with new vrm firmware.

Strong! Nice one bro !

@ Nacho: Thanks The card maxxed out already I think, I spent another 30L running it at 1720Mhz but it always crashed(or ocp'd) at the damn Raymarch test. The real GPU Voltage was 1.447V - 1.45V under load. Higher than 1.45V will give it OVP/OCP. @ Splave: Not just your limit Allen, looked like everyone who got the updated VRM firmware for Lightning have disturbingly similar limit. Rock stable at 1600-1700 @ 1.45V, and then hit a 'wall' and won't reach above 1700Mhz GPU(OVP/OCP when trying higher voltage).

I'm giving it 1.37V @ -100 C, I got the OVP/OVP at exactly 1.48V, but even 1.45V won't help me reach the 1700Mhz. I Need to try harder

How long should we stay after man? about 3 - 4 days after computex enough? More than that and I'll have to apply for special permission from my office

Whoa, MOA 2014 already. time flies so fast What would be the hardware restrictions I wonder? No new cpu,but we can expect the refreshed motherboard with new chipset(z97?)...also would be a very interesting finals if they used X79 + DDR4

Woah that card is Stroooooooong!!! Keep pushin' it bro :)

@Noms and Flank3r : yes, i have already benched several 3d benchmark... will submit all of it as soon as possible... FYI, i already tried in more than 1 CPU and all of it has coldbug TT

Computex? Definitely going Not sure if there's any OC show/competition/demos planned at this date yet though..

Something like 3DMark2000 on S3 Savage 4, TNT/TNT2's, and Voodoo 3 2000/3000? Hahah Now that'll bring back junior high school memories..

You're right, my memory about those hardwares are a bit hazy. The 300A's use mendocino cores is it?

Request some stage for Celeron Deschutes and Katmai Pentium III Slot 1s? Just find some in my old warehouse :D

Yep, congrats Michal for winning Kingston HOT! :ws: Not a bad way to start an overclocking year mate

Whoa, If XA won the Pi 32M Stage, he would be Champion already. Others probably won't catch up with such differences in points

OMG DAT CHIP :ws: :ws: Keep pushing that killer cpu man!

*phew* It's Over! Congrats for Australia! Only 1st time doing it seriously and yet you guys still finish strong enough to get the 1st position with quite large margin on the scores - EPIC! Also congratulation for the other countries for the impressive submissions as well: Germany, US, France, and Belgium. It's been fun pushing it with you guys in this years' Country Cup, see you later in the next OC Competition ;) Keep pushing it!

*speechless*

We're done. Totally epic fail CPU won't budge over 5.62Ghz :(, no matter what settings you pushed into it. Already submitted the 38039 which is our final score for stage 1, now awaiting all the other backup score See you guys later when it's over

Oh Thank God. The LN2 is coming a bit late so I was worried. It's okay now, can sleep for today

Ah, I see. Waiting for the HWBOT ruling on this matter then. Cheers bud

I'm looking at the same thing, some of the submission on the cloud gate stage is removed I guess? *oh my, this is bad x_x*

Excuse me, I received an information from one of my fellow overclockers in Indonesia (yudhiagust), that his submission has been reported. This is the report: And I did look at the 3DMark Cloud Gate benchmark rules on http://www.hwbot.org/news/9044_application_51_rules/ , and it indeed says that the benchmark version of 1.0.0 is not allowed to be used. So I would like to confirm, is the submission of my friends is going to be blocked because his use of version 1.0 of the benchmark? If that were the case, would our submission before these submission still counted on the average? (IIRC, we did submit some scores with v1.1 before, but a lower score though) Thanks, Cheers, Alva
