Seems like a good way to upgrade to X79. Either you go for the overall prize, or you feel incredibly lucky

I'll give it a run with the big boys...Happy Thanksgiving to all!

The stage 1 limitations says that "Use 1 videocard core(s) in total" - Manufacturer should be MSI, or it could be from any vendor?

 

The stage 1 limitations says that "Use 1 videocard core(s) in total" but the competition details says "This “MSI Sandy Bridge Evolution” contest is opened to overclockers worldwide, and requires MSI 6 series mainboards, N580GTX graphics cards and Intel 2500K or higher processors."

 

The stage 1 limitations says that "Only use processors using socket LGA1155".

Thus HD6970 or low-cost LGA1155 CPUs (such as Celeron G530, 540, etc.) are allowed or not?

 

Thanks in advance, HGyu

1) There is no brand limitation for the graphics card, only for the mainboard

2) The GTX580 is what MSI/HWBOT expects to be necessary to win, but it's not a limitation in itself. The limitation is "a single gpu graphics card".

 

HD 6970 + Celeron G530 is a system that can definitely be used for the competition!

Thank you very much!

 

HGyu

Yes thank you for clearing that up.

getting tough.

Some nice scores have been posted. I wont be able to rerun as the MSI board is gone now... oh well.

My GD80 killed my 5,9ghz chip

It;s normal. MSI boards are killing CPUs

wow nedernakker, nice goin! Close call in scores, is that the max you can do?

GL in the compo, 7pt lead... bingo:)

@MASSMAN

MSI Sandy Bridge Evolution: Lowest CPU Frequency

@ BlackBird :

 

I already explained the software trick to massman via pm,

I also will share how to do this after the competition is over

Guys, I updated the photo of my setup and suddenly my score went strange.

link me the score I will try to fix it, tell me if there is anything to edit as well

@ christian ney :

 

Please check my submission history :

 

http://www.hwbot.org/user/coldest/

 

There I clearly submitted 2149 Score for DX11, then I scored again 356.25 for DX9.

 

After this, i updated my 2149 DX11 submission for photo update, but then suddenly my GTX 580 score reverted to 356.25.

http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2231504

 

How to fix this? I cannot edit my DX11 submission again since it would need me to submit the .hwbot score..

 

I can send you the 2149.hwbot score if it's needed.

 

Thanks,

can you just resubmite it one more time (do a new submission) , then I will block this one.

i gotten this problem after i submitted my dx9 score. any other score i submitted auto revert to dx9 score. i close all web browser then reopen them and the problem goes away.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it

Hello,

 

Since the competition is now ended, I will tell how to I get x8 multiplier using some software, as promised.

 

- Download a program named ThrottleStop 4.00

- run it

- click 'turn on'

- set 'clock modulation' to 12.5%

- if all is correct, Your CPU now has x8 multi

 

Hope it helps

i used real temp sensor test and prime95 ... two ways to doing the same

Nice tweaks! Love the creativity

range tweak.
