CL3P20 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 *random GPU with no available BIOS support from manufacturer - sure we all understand the complications involved in supporting numerous types of GPU design... but 'we' didnt pick it.. *contest class based on unavailable CPU - MSI have no idea of retail availability... ...really...?? I like the benchies.. but really..how to participate when binning GPU is useless and CPU are not available for 1/3 of the comp time? This smells like MSI of past.. 'when something so right..can be sooo wrong' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Use 335.xx driver. 337.xx will have a clock limit. Lol, I'm such a noob. Had been using 337 drivers (last ones installed on this OS) and hadn't been able to get more than +135 clock going on my card. Was really getting pissed off. Bloody drivers.

'when something so right..can be sooo wrong' - the bios shouldn't be a problem, that's why the decision not to spend unnecessary resources proving 40+ different variants. - even retailers are unsure about the G3258 release date; it's an issue on Intel side rather than MSI side. I'll bring up the issue of the G3258 with MSI. Maybe we have to allow Core i3 instead, which would sadly enough bump up the price to compete but at least it will be available to all. Or we just allow the G3250. I'll keep you guys update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der8auer Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The CPU starts to become available in Germany. I just ordered one at a store which has some in stock. So I guess only few days and they will have a higher availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) Gunslinger in Class B? Two seats left. I guess I better reread the rules, you can't use Pentium in class A? Kind of silly to say no when the benches selected don't need 4C/8T Edited June 30, 2014 by Gunslinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.nfraR.ed Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Would a non-pro/noname overclocker like me have the chance to receive AB Extreme for class A? Last time I tried, MSI told me to download regular AB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunslinger Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Anyone having CPU supply issues, I can get you CPU's here and ship them out. I can mail a CPU in a padded envelope pretty cheaply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
