OMGWTFBBQ *faints* Someone pls give Nick a 5.9Ghz Sandy now!

Great score indeed, those MSI Lightning is kickin' some serious clocks!!

SUGOI !!! Now do some damage with that chip!

EMEA Finals will be held in Istanbul, right? It's so nice, I wish someday Asia and European finals were held in the same place( I've never been in Europe, but I soo wanna go there, even only as spectator LOL :D ) Anyway, Back to the topic, I overheard some Info that MOA Asia (or Asia-pacific?) Final will be held in Jakarta,Indonesia, not sure what's the hardware and don;t know who's coming though... ( I do hope that Sandy Bridge isn't going to be used in our qualifier, unless they made special BIOS which limits the multiplier to 48 and use Pi 32M instead of Wprime32)

Testing the MSI BIOS, it works! http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1580085 Thanks Pt1t !

NICE!! Good to see yet another 1400Mhz Lightning !

Nice Contest Massman, love the 99 Max and 2000 :D !! * Just asking, are you going to put 3DMark 99 Max and 3DMark 2000 ranking on the Bot as well? *

Thanks bros , the setup was nothing special: - the switches I turned on was voltages(Vgpu,Vmem,Vpll switches), and the 2 XtremeCool Switches. OCP Unlocker and PWM Tuner doesn't seem to help. - Voltages via Afterburner was +375mV for the vGPU, +300mV for the mem, and +300mV on the PLL - Insulation using thick dielectric grease all around the card, with kneaded eraser covering only the GPU Chip on the back - 1800W hot air gun(set at medium, 1100W,450C) used to keep the VGA Backside warm at all time - Optimal Temperature for benching was -160C, somehow the VGA failed to run the vantage at -170C Thanks sir , I only use ArticCooling MX-2 paste since that one is the only one available at my place..will try to get OCZ Freeze later, but it's difficult to get that here

Thanks, PJ Will try that on my next OC weekend meeting :D

Arigatou ne Gyrock-san Thanks m8, btw I never tested the 1.3b6, just got the 1.3b8 right out of the box.. Thanks for the kind word fellas, but I guess this score proves that I'm still a n00b, since this was the very same card that me & my teammate bench'd at the MOA Final (in which we only got 1256Mhz at the event ). I still got a long way to go to make my way as a 3D Bencher , but I think this would be a good start 2k3 Coming soon! :D

Ah yes, It's ONLY 70 pts difference :D Time for bed as well, good luck for your interview bro

Nice mod u did there mate Ryba's score just in, a really nice 1275Mhz GPU Core ()b Waiting for other hawks...

Whew...there is my final score, got that lucky run with that last 4L of LN2 Thanks to everyone who participate, it's been fun to bench with you guys, especially Jonas with the phenomenal Cyclone (only differs 15Mhz from my Hawk), nice work and effort, dude d()b Now waiting for others to submit their score....

LOL @ Massman () I guess during the last 30 mins of the competition, we'll see many people submitting score more than 26k, with GPU Clock waaaaaay more than 1200Mhz :D There's still 4L of LN2 left, will try what I can do with that..

Moving the dip switches did nothing to improve my overclocking Well, the xtremecool switch did lower the cold bug from -65 to about -90, but with cold slow kicking in at -75, it's not helping at all. The Cold Slow issue remained in the BIOS I think, will need someone close with nVIDIA to take out the 2D Slow mode out of this card, and after that maybe we'll see some improvement at lower temperature. Managed to get the Card to 1.33V to do a final bench session, hopefully everything went right on this one :)

Whew...finally can get one score after wasting 15L on LN2, still wondering why my GT2 is so bad for 1.2Ghz GPU Core....also I got cold slow kicking in at about -75C, and probably need to do vgpu hardmod to see whether more than +200mV will give good scaling to the GPU.. Will do one more bench session tommorow

Way to Go my Buddy Clon22, Keep Pushing IT!!!!!

Love the old skool hardware pics Sampsa ()b It made me remember that about 5 years ago that I first started overclocking with dry ice, putting my old Duron 650Mhz to 1100Mhz, and killed it 2 hours later * Come to think of it, it's the guys at XS that made me start doing these 'madness' * It's good that I had a chance to meet you in MOA 2009 & 2010, Good Luck with whatever you'll be doing in the future, your name will always be remembered by us overclockers, Regards,

OK Thanks for the clarification PJ ()b

Ah, yes. I guess I overlooked this one * thanks for pointing that out Jonas () * So can anyone confirm of this rule? Is the GPU Clock is all that matters in the non-extreme category? or the memory clock is counted also? Thanks,

Not sure if my Cyclone can do more than 1134Mhz, it will be struggling hard going against the HAWKs(which maybe hit 1200 or way more) But I'm in for some GTX460 clocking fun for sure (the point of OCing is having fun with our h/w ,right? :D)

Great One M8 ()b , keep pushing!!

Yep, I use 1GB Waza D<C<D (Spi on C), maxmem 600

hahahahah LOL Now the mobo DOES look small when you mount an SS into it dude : D

Agree with u m8, I think Lynnfield 8xx will be the main contender on the 4Ghz Category.. With CPU & RAM on Cold, I guess with the CPU at 235x17, and DDR3-2350 with Tight timings and subs will give a nice score Anyway, with the CPU positioned sooo close to the DIMMs, I think putting LN2 on the CPU also means giving your ram a decent temp for benching :D(10-20C perhaps?)
