Haha - hmm didn't think of that.... One sandbag is never enough!

Lol - nice sessions dude!

Training underway......

lol sure, but after days and weeks of benching it would be great for everyone to know where things are at! I understand the dilemma the hwbot crew are in through no fault of their own, but someone needs to make a call. At least a commitment to when it will be resolved is a start.

So when is a decision coming? Already taken a few days, now it's Xmas, comp ends in a couple of days.......what's the call?

Maybe it's just cause I'm in the Xmas spirit (translated meens half pissed), but I reckon everyone needs to chill. Some of the comments are getting pretty barbed - why does this have to become personal? It's a comp people FFS! On the V1.0 scores, gotta admit I didn't read the rules, so maybe I was lucky I used the right version. I think it will be tough to pull all the scores using the wrong version (unless there are obviously bugged scores involved), particularly because so many strong benchers used version 1.0, and I am sure that if they were aware of the rule they would have used the correct version. (Why would you use it otherwise?) Whatever the decision, as long as it's consistent, we should accept and move on........ (But let's get it over with) On sandbagging - who gives a bunnyextraction when a score is posted!? Bench like you want to win and post it when you are ready. It can work either way (for or against you) so who cares! Only way to lessen this is have qualifying rounds like MOA, where only the top xx qualify to compete in the next round, but even then you can still sandbag all you like .......

For some reason GTX 570 score for AU pulled. If the reason is using 1.0 admins need to get busy and pull the rest. It's going to get messy with most teams impacted......

cpus and gpus included in that comment

ahh its all part of the fun - but using hardware which is prone to dying on you doesn't help!

nice jack!

Well done Vivi - awesome idea that you had on the cooling - fantastic result on stock card

ahh fuck it - I give up. Obviously the MOA gods don't want me to attend this year - so I surender

Wow - nice!

bit like Jack - 1.4v and it was all over

Thanks Mike - way to burn cash - lol THEBANIK - ohh there are a few others coming to the party I am sure

Well you can add me to the dead titan list - so much for that plan!

No issues at all tbh, so far impressed with the board - i just wish the CPU's didn't suck!

Ouch sorry to hear guys, hopefully you have a score or two to post for your efforts though. Benching these cards on stock pwm is almost certain death - just a matter of when!!

Gyro San - you look very lonely in this comp by yourself!! This weekend I finally have time to do some benching so I will come join you

Lol - this gets better and better. Haswell sux ass, benching titans on air - lets have a low score challenge!!! The only world records I see coming are the number of dead cpus and gpus for shit scores....

So far Haswell is definitely underwhelming (unless of course you own a good ES CPU) 3 retails now tested - cold bug on best cpu -110 (grrr) and the others -120 and -125 ish &^%$ overclocking potential - so unless you are looking for some to win the low clock superpi challenge or pure mem clocking - why the ^&%$ would you bother!!

I agree. Mass man you deleted your original post, but can we assume that the above applies? Ie all the people that you had drawn that did have a legit score posted before May 15th will keep their prize? Not going to be impressed if you turn around now and say that I am not getting a board!

Nice!!

Lol - why not! For my 50 cents worth.... No Titan 32m on Haswell 3dm01 on Haswell Firestrike With current results on Haswell maybe fixed cpu clock limit for 3dm01 and 32m. Means more focus on skills than lottery

Very nice man - well done!
