    Yeah, you need ln2 for ln2 bios :D

     

     

    Ah thanks mate, It seems that I got problem booting with the LN2 BIOS on normal HSF, but the normal booted fine..will try LN2 Next ;)

     

    btw

    anyone has problems with BigBang II 1.4(MOA) Bios?

     

    Mine is fine I guess, what problem are you referring to?

    single sided of course

     

    Daym, as if it weren't enough to let us bench Pi 32M on X79/SB-E, now they give us those hell-ish single sided 2400C11 Kingston RAMs , loooooooool :P :p :P

     

    Hey Splave, have u tried to put those sticks on cold? Any help?

    Rant: Sandbagging

    in Offtopic

    Posted

    Even though i sometimes be a 'victim' of sandbagging , I personally don't hate it at all.

     

    I mean, If the score I push out myself managed to get beaten by someone else at the last minute, that simply means my score wasn't good enough, right?. Why blame my loss on someone who give the score later than I do?

    Futuremark LOC 2012 official announcement :)

     

    The three official winners have now been validated and made official. There will also be an official press release going out on Tuesday announcing this to the general public.

     

    3DMark 11 Score: dRweEz

    3DMark 11 Physics Score: Perica_barii

    3DMark 11 Graphics Score: Coldest

     

    Congratulations from everyone here at Futuremark and good luck in MOA!

     

    For other price information there have been two additional rulings made:

    - if the same score qualifies to win several weekly prizes, the prizes are given out in the order the categories appear on the contest page: 3DMark 11 score -> 3DMark 11 Physics Score -> 3DMark 11 Graphics Score

    - In the Physics category in week 4, all users in the top 20 who submitted a valid score already qualified for another grand or weekly prize in the contest so the prize is given to the highest Physics score from users outside the top 20 conforming to other contest rules

     

    So these combined with the official contest rules of:

    - each user can only win one prize

    - the user wins the Grand Prize or first weekly prize they qualify for with the prizes passing down to the next eligible user

     

    produce the following list of winners:

     

    Winners of Week 1

    3DMark 11 Score: Vazhik

    3DMark 11 Physics Score: micka_laoshu1919

    3DMark 11 Graphics Score: Lucky_n00b

     

    Note: micka_laoshu1919 would qualify to win both Physics and Graphics prizes, so the additional ruling was applied here

     

    Winners of Week 2

    3DMark 11 Score: FtW 420

    3DMark 11 Physics Score: linkpower

    3DMark 11 Graphics Score: Trucker73

     

    Winners of Week 3

    3DMark 11 Score: cische

    3DMark 11 Physics Score: anon-e-moose

    3DMark 11 Graphics Score: duanln

     

    Winners of Week 4

    3DMark 11 Score: Billy-the-Kid

    3DMark 11 Physics Score: js is Lb - 17664 - http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/4164233

    3DMark 11 Graphics Score: be.paranoiamd

     

    Note: as all users in the top 20 already win some prize, the second additional ruling is invoked here, the score and link are provided here as other winning results are found from the contest leaderboards.

     

    And the winners of the weekly Lucky Draw are:

    Week 1 – MSI HD 7770 Power Edition 1GD5/OC: Zoleepapa

    Week 2 – Kingston DataTraveler Elite 3.0 32GB USB Drive: egdesignsvc

    Week 3 – IN WIN Commander III 800W, 80 Plus Gold: daofeng123

    Week 4 – MSI ZH77A-G43: tomeksip

     

    Congrats for everyone and see you in Taipei!! :D :D :D

    Yes but let us be allowed to void warranty :D. I want to do it

     

    Totally agree,

     

    I would gladly trade my warranty for a P0-state-only BIOS with constant voltage and a boost clock of 500Mhz from base.

     

    But then again, I understand if this is probably difficult for MSI too since they have nVIDIA watching their every move...

    MSI Z77 GD65 on LN2 , 680 lightning on AIR: I have big and strange problem

    in General hardware discussion

    Posted

     

    What mainboard BIOSes are you guys on? Anyone tested with a different Z77 board?

     

    I tested with Z77A-GD65, BIOS 10.5, the other system was my 3930K with XPower 2.

     

    On the SB-E platform, things were quite 'predictable', and the behavior of the GPU didn't change between CPU on HSF vs CPU on LN2. (Using Gen2 mode btw)

     

    But on 3770K+ GD65, when I throw temps like -150 or so, suddenly the GPU acted 'strange', when the GPU got some errors and I restarted, the system will tell u that the GPU is missing (dE Post Code - cmiiiw).

     

    To fix this, Usually I had to heat the GPU pot to -20 before it can boot normally again, and this NEVER happens on my X79 system.

     

    Will try on both systems again this weekend to make sure.

    I can relate to this. When I change CPU from SB / SB-E to IVB, the 'behaviour' of the GPU suddenly change (CB/CBB changed, random crashes,weird score, etc), and all of those did NOT happen when using 7970 Lightning.

     

    This is just speculation, but it could be possible that the GTX 680 doesn't like a certain characteristics of some CPU's PCIe Controller under certain conditions(temps,clocks,etc).

     

    Looks like the most 'bug-free' way of benching those 680s is using the SB-E based CPU for now.

    @Splave

    +549 to clock = 1555 Mhz ... is useless to 3DMark11.

    Need + 1200 ;)

     

    Agree :)

     

    If I'm not mistaken, the default LN2 base GPU clock is 1Ghz, and the boost GPU clock around 1200Mhz.

    So an offset clock setting of +549 would give us approx. 1550Mhz Base GPU clock, and around 1750Mhz GPU Boost clock. (CMIIW though)

    Tried this just now,

    even with the LN2 BIOS, max vgpu I can give to the card is about 1.32V (1.212 + offset 100mv), nowhere near enough for LN2 action but should be good enough for 1350-1400ish on stock fan I guess :)

     

    Already sent my afterburner extreme request to MSI, hopefully they reply soon ;)

    Will try again to win a ticket, hope to have better luck this time.....But it is good to know that at least I have place to sleep over..

     

    Fight On Bro!! I believe You can do it! ;) ;)

     

     

    i reckon as everyone else is already saying, best way is to not even compete and just book a flight

     

    LOL soooooo true :D :D

    ... has anyone seen any retail cards? Haven't seen any in the forums yet.

     

    I got mine just today :), but the stock is sooooo limited :(

    The real problem is there's no Afterburner Extreme for this card yet (I heard Unwinder haven't even got the card to make the software? but i'm not sure).

     

    Anyway, looking at how things were right now, I have little to no chance getting a ticket from any of those categories, but that won't stop me from trying :P :p (might land me a Lucky draw, or even weekly prize ,who knows LOL)

     

    im taking bets, who is everyones money on for LOC tickets,

     

    Me 10 bucks to Perica :D :D

    Whoa, interesting rules there! One can enter from 3 different ways , well thought Futuremark! :D :D

     

    Btw, if Futuremark allow tesselation options to be disabled(which is unlikely :P), this should be a good battle between GTX 680 Lightning and HD 7970 Lightning, too bad the Afterburner Extreme for GTX 680 still not released until now..

    Uhm, maybe I should say "unmixed" regions in that case. Let's just say there are three more tickets for EMEA this year :D

    (j/k)

     

     

    Oh, you :D :D

     

    sweet idea, I just got a really good offer for my kidney's but might have to include an arm or a leg :D

     

    LMAO dude :D :D :D

    For those who are waiting for the last three MOA tickets to be spread through the Futuremark LOC competitions, here's some rumours:

     

    - July 27 until August 23

    - mixed regions

    - 3 tickets

     

    All news will be official on July 20 :)

     

    Mixed Regions, ouch! This is going to be bloody :D :D

     

    Anyway, what's the challenge this year I wonder? Could it be something like 3DMark11 Multi-GPU all-out? It's really interesting to see multi-GPU setups like LOC 2010 ;)
