The official GIGABYTE Locked 'n' Loaded Contest - stage 1: SuperPi 32m thread.

[kirbster]

I am not able to submit a score.

It says i need a verification link - which i have supplied. Maybe there is a problem?

 

Thanks.

[Massman]

Can you try again.

 

(the verification link is from CPU-Z)

[kirbster]

works now

[Spyboy48]

how to go about saving the cpuz screen shot with validation?

Network down at the right time.....now got to do another time.

unable to submit? click submit button

"internet explorer cannot open the website"

What happens with a different browser ?

All the top scores been submitted have CPU multipliers above 31x. Does this mean that when the comp ends those submissions will be disqualified from receiving the prize?

Why do you think the results are done with a multiplier higher than 31x ?

We need to set at bios 31x to qualified for the compy regulation to enable fair play.

 

Not easy to do high block on UD7, only after numerous rebooting, it gets to OS, at times it boot to back up bios and need to shutdown. Lowering down Bclk to 106 it helps a bit, and pull using ET.

 

Anw, saw one entry by 'Coldest' on stage one having 34x.

An overlook mistake but nice high Blck.

Sorry mate, I think there's no mistake in my stage one submission,Because I read the rules stage 1 for highest memory clocks, There's no limitation for cpu multiplier. Only Stage 2 superpi 32M, there is a rule that all contestants must use 31x multiplier or lower.

 

Rules Stage 1 highest Memory Clock

 

Rules stage 2 Superpi 32M

 

The competition pages already removed from HWBot main page, but the links is still up, u can check it here

I think increasing BCLK on UD7, it's quietly easy. Just Increasing BCLK 0,1~0,5 each Bios boot, u will be fine, because the board will increase the BCLK without shutting down the system and u will be fine until u reach bclk limit.

 

I'm using Kingstong Genesis Grey 2133 RAM, When on air @1,85 V, i just got BCLK 106,5 Mhz. Giving 1,95v VDIMM, there's still no scaling.

 

After I'm Freezed the ram and give 1,95v VDIMM, I can increased the BCLK until 110.6 Mhz, boot from bios to OS Windows 7 without using easy tune.

 

for BCLK 110.7 and 110.8 can't boot with windows 7 ( crash at Windows 7 loading ) after change the os to Windows XP, I can boot the OS with BCLK 110.7 without problem and got 110.8 after three times trying boot,because the system already very unstable.

 

and for timing and subtiming RAM settings, I just used AUTO preset for stage 1.

 

 

It's Already a week of waiting for winner announcement and still waiting

GIGABYTE has received the information and are preparing a press release about the competition .

 

The winners of the competition are pretty easy to identify, though.

@Coldest

Thanks for sharing your experience

I read it from here though, it stated 31x.

Sorry if I have caused a misunderstanding. It set my mind at 31x....keke!

You're right accordingly to the stage1.

 

Just sharing, but not disputing your score or standing.

I am in no position to do that, and you did great and your experience greatly shown thru here.

 

Using 31x, booting it up may not be the same as 34x.

It will caused it to go back to back-up bios after a crashed from OS.

Need to shut down, and start again.

I am not sure using your settings at 34x, will give a smooth bclk boot-up.

 

Tested on another motherboard, using Z68 V pro, I can reboot to higher higher bclk with no issues, increment by 0.2 or 0.3 at a time. (with no 31x restriction).

It was easily done until i hit the wall, but not on 31x with UD7.

With Ud7, once got a successful boot-up from 106, after few tries, i used ET. Is very difficult to reboot from 107 or higher, need plenty of luck, sometimes it boot after many many tries (with 31x).

Even profile settings that I have saved(107 to 108), also will not let me boot-up.
