lmao mean machine :D

 

Are you 2 going to get some experience on ln2, x58 and learn to volt mod before you go Rawz or just wing it? O.o

 

To quote an earlier post.

One important sidenote here is that this competition is not just about overclockers, but about 'extreme overclockers'. Basically, you want people representing your country that understand the system that is being benched on and that understand how liquid nitrogen works. There needs to be a balance between opening the qualifications for as much people as possible and not setting them up in a way basically everyone, regardless of experience/skill, can win.

 

An example.

 

In last year's MOA EU 2010, the hardware was 980X + GTX480. If you have no experience with liquid nitrogen, you simply can't do well in the competition due to the necessity of understanding coldbug/coldbootbug behavior. Also, someone with no X58 experience is doomed to fail: there's a delicate balance between the various voltages (vcore, vtt), frequencies (unc affect dram) and of course performance (low uncore means low performance). There needs to be a basic understanding of all this to be able to defend your country's honor in an international competition. Software tweaks and optimisations are nice, but the essence of 'overclocking' is not tuning the software, but increasing the operating frequencies.

Don't see this ending too well unless you make up for a lot of lost time here.

There are still 3 weeks to go, so ... why don't you guys get together and go over the tricks of the X58 platform and liquid nitrogen? You could make a video, post some pics, have a bench-weekend etc etc.

 

Seeing that more people care about the OC might give the UK office some incentive to make more work of the qualifiers next year.

Talk about reaking of massive shit. Great going MSI.

 

 

 

Fair? When qualifications are apparently based on the capablility of sucking semen straight through the pours of ones penis? Who needs it to be fair when you can have a constant, ongoing orgasm?

 

I'm sure my post will be deleted in 3...2...1...

 

What exactly was going through your mind before you decided to click "submit reply"

 

If that were the case, I'm sure we'd have a danish team, but we don't.

 

(Once again, Nanok and Noxon aren't the semen suckers.)

 

Jonas; Come on, this level is simply too low, just a tad more classy, please.

Remarkable: MSI is limiting the CPU ratio to 50x for the SuperPI-32M round. Not as far as what I hoped for, but as long as the chips are pre-binned to all do ~100MHz within each other, this should be just fine. Would suck to see one team do 5500MHz and the other 4800MHz

 

Also hoping the growth baseline is more appropriate than last year. Baseline should not be non-overclocked score, but should be expected overclock. If baseline is not chosen correctly, there's an imbalance between stages. Last year, for instance, an excellent SPI-32M result meant pretty much nothing in comparison to the 3D Vantage score.
