    MOA 2013 Discussion

    in HWBOT Competitions

    Posted

    Morning folks,

     

    First of all, Congratulation to T0lsty as MOA 2013 Winner! Very efficient run and damage control on the 2D benchmarks, and KILLING it on the 3DMark Fire Strike - EPIC! It was a intense battle from the start to the very end, my buddy Michal did his best with his setup and battling many problems, and finally managed to get the 3rd place - Congrats bro!

     

    Also good fight from the Aussies, Jack and Carl, who pushes it to the limit with their 3D runs. Had they got a better CPU, top 3 wouldn't be impossible ;).

     

    Vivi pushes a very efficient run in Pi 32M with the cold RAM setup (the most efficient run IIRC, with T0lsty being 2nd in 32M efficiency), but too bad the poor clocking CPU and the motherboard give him many problems, better luck next time man!

     

    As for me,

    From the beginning I wasn't expected a top 3 finish, let alone placing on the runner up among with the best overclockers in the world. I'm happy enough to somehow 'slip in' through the qualifier :)

    I'm just really lucky having a good CPU (my 1st lucky CPU after 5 Years of MOA, yay! :P). The CPU clocks quite well, in 4C/8T config it's inferior to Michal's 6.2Ghz Cinebench, but does quite nicely in 2-Core.

    That being said, I'm still a bit annoyed looking at my Pi 32M RAM setup, didn't manage to get the 2800 and 2933 Multiplier working, so had to change to 125Mhz BCLK and clocked the RAM at DDR3-2750Mhz. Pulling it down with 10-13-12 timing didn't help much for the efficiency, only 5m 15s-ish without CW in the 6Ghz mark. I prepped the system to run RAM on LN2, but didn't manage to do it since I was troubleshooting so many times in the Pi 32M setup.

     

    For the GPU, I was struggling with the Elpida-equipped GPU, the Core was better than my Samsung one, but the Mem was total crap (3300Mhz-ish). Had to change to the Samsung Card literally in the last 50 mins of the competition, very nerve wrecking to pull out a good score from a Card which I haven't tested at all before in the next 40 mins.

    You guys watching my live desktop seen how many crashes I got after changing to my 2nd GPU, it was horrible X_X. The funny thing is, with the very intense competition going, I didn't realize that my live desktop was still on :P. In the end, the scores came out in the very last minute - again, lucky :D.

     

    Very good event from MSI and great coverage by Hwbot & OCTV! Keep pushing it guys ;)

     

    Cheers,

    A little bit offtopic, but if anyone joining MOA have a brand new EPOWER Classified unit and want to sell those, I'll be willing to buy it in on the spot , can contact me via PM for arrangement :),

     

    so hard to order it from Indonesia :(

    eVc ordering

    in EVC Support

    Posted

    My gear for building the eVc-devices are stuck in TW at the moment, but I will have access to them during and after MOA. I'm not sure how many I'll be able to produce but if you're attending MOA or in TW at that time and interested in a device please write here!

     

    Price for once device: 30 EUR / 1200 TWD (device, usb cable, i2c connector cable)

     

    If there are still some left after MOA I could ship them out for ~3EUR with Taiwan Post.

     

    One for me please ;)

    MSI GTX 780 Lightning @ LN2 preview

    Posted · Edited by Lucky_n00b

    What is the ASIC Quality % on your Card Ronaldo?

     

    Also, MSI is giving us the 780 Lightning with Samsung IC on the arena, right? Might as well use those from the start.

     

    I'm taking office leave since this Wednesday (10/7) to start my MOA preparation, let's see how far can I push those GPU clocks on my MOA Card :)

    Saw the notification e-mail. Nice Benchmarks!

     

    -SuperPi 32M = Challenging with an MFR kit, nice :)

    -Cinebench R11.5 = No Problem with it :D

    -3DMark Fire Strike = Yes Please! ;) I wonder why they didn't use the Fire Strike Extreme though...

     

    Waiting patiently for my MOA Hardware, hopefully no problem with the customs..

    @ XA :

     

    In terms of pure performance, yes they probably can't compare to the PSC/BBSE/Samsung sticks that we used at home.. But its really exciting to see what a group of overclockers can do with an MFRs in a live event, don't you think? :)

    Congrats to all the winners!

     

    Thanks man, appreciate it ;)

    The official Pro OC Cup Q3'13 thread.

    in HWBOT Competitions

    Posted

    Yep, Pro Cup Q3 '13 finally done at last.

     

    The last-minute benching session is not running so well as I expected (only 1 out of 3 rig give a half-decent score), a bit annoyed that my rig cannot give 12500-ish in IGP stage, and I don't have a decent multi-GPU setup for Fire Strike Extreme. But i had fun during this Q3 '13 so it's all okay :D :D

     

    Congrats again for the winners, especially KPC Pro OC #1 :ws: :ws:

     

    See u guys in the next round :)
