The official GeIL FFA II Overclocking Challenge thread.

Nice challenge, thanke you GeIL and HWBot.

Count me in

For the second test. CL6/4G DIMM, If i read it right you can only use one 4G DIMM, or can you use more then one 4G DIMM.

You can use any memory configuration as long as you're using 4GB dimms. So:

 

- 4GB x 1 = 4GB

- 4GB x 2 = 8GB

- 4GB x 3 = 12GB

- 4GB x 4 = 16GB

- ...

Thanks for this comp. Count me in.

 

Ps.hopefully an employee of the Geil PR Management answered my email ;-)

In that case, I'd suggest you change the wording to:

"Only 4GB DIMMs allowed"

[Massman]

Good idea, Miah!

why would they answer you? sponsorship? lol

[Hampti]

no another thing. but you saw that they sponsor big lanparty's ;-)

[Hiwa]

count me in for highest 16gb and lowest 1155 mem but not the second stage

32m need good 2600k/2500k witch i never found

 

first stage need 1156 good/normal cpu not easy clocking high 16gb memories

second need good 2500k/2600k cpu or very strong 990/980X with strong IMC can handle high capacity rams @ high freq

third one never tried must be very funny stage

[Leeghoofd]

there's an error in round 3, points are wrongly accorded... crazy has got lower ram clocks then Hiwa, yet get's only 8 points...

You've been MasspOwned...

Aslo 32M score is not valid for Crazy, 2 x 2 Gb iso 4Gb dimms...

 

Insert more coin plz...

[Massman]

It's functional on the test server, but not on the public server. Checking ...

[Diabolo 80]

Can't submit score in stage #2

 

Please fix this!

[Massman]

Fixed !

[Diabolo 80]

Fixed !

 

Tnx!!!

[Hampti]

wow the low bclk is really hard to get. only reach 97.5 so i should test a lot of more tweaks.

[Leeghoofd]

Think it's very board dependant Hampti, less cores helps too... but my marshall has similar issues as your current setup... though at 96.1

[Quake]

Are we allowed to use CAS Latency 5 for 2nd stage? Yeah, it says CAS 6, but if it is working with 5, then it will also work with 6

[Leeghoofd]

you got freaking 4gb dimms that do Cas 5 at +/-1400mhz... wOOOOOOOOOOOOOt

[Quake]

16gb total at 1390MHz 5-7-6

 

It just needs a little bit higher voltage, 1.78v for it

 

EDIT:

 

Here is the screen shot. Is it allowed?

[Massman]

No, CL must be 6.

[Spyboy48]

wanna ask for the stage 3, if I used Geil ram for this stage and submitted, a valid points given.

Later, I submit another better results at the same 3rd stage but using G.skill ram.

Will I still be in the Lucky draw? whereas the earlier result being overtaken by new submission.

If not I submit again for the Geil ram used on 3rd stage...Thanks

[Massman]

That's no problem, Spyboy. We extract the GeIL competition results straight from the database, so even if it's not your best result in the competition, it wil still be included in the lucky draw list .

Yeah! thank you Sir! Massman

[Hampti]

i couldnt submit a score for the superpi32m part. always the same issue:

Total memory size should be 4096MB, 8192MB, 12288MB, 16384MB, 20480MB, 24576MB MB. - your submission is incomplete

I've tried it with 8192MB, 8GB, 8192 MB, 8192MB MB. and all under the memory amount ;-)

what could be the problem?
