The official HWBOT OC Challenge March 2012: "Goodbye Abit, RIP" thread.

[Gamer]

Someone wants to see an Aopen contest?

AK33 was the worst motherboard I ever had, 108fsb en the thing went beserk.

 

Now that would be a contest

[Veld]

My awesome BF6 still alive.. but now, when I get cpu-z's valid file, I see empty spaces at "MB Brand" and "MB Model":(; I've tried reinstall OS, used elder cpu-z's versions, flash other bios - nothing

Dunno how to fix this crap.....

RIP Abit

Also Instead of March Challenge ,they should have open separate Abit challenge. damn There's no ABIT sales in India till now.... One full month we have to Sit Idle and watch this competition... :-(

 

Nothing against 5-10 years-old hardware competition, but are we overclocking or collecting unusual hardware ?

I already took last mounth VIA cpu to do an unusual stage.

I like hwbot's competition, but I suggest to make them with more common hardware so more people can go there.

[Massman]

We're overclocking old and unusual hardware.

 

The point of these HWBOT competitions (no prizes, just glory) is to also give competitions to people who don't always have the latest greatest. There's enough exposure and competition for the newest hardware already, so it's a welcome change to also play with the old bits again.

[Hondacity]

there will be time for other competitions. this competition is indeed for a select few.

 

i'm expecting a leve2 or level3 competition. new hardwares cpus, and gpus, and maybe socket775. and of course gigabutt and msi competitions. and of course guys who get hardware for free will compete. its all gonna be fun lol

[Vinster]

I found this;

 

 

I so miss my abit board...

Just a quick question, does it matter with which CPUz version you entry this competition?

I noticed it too, that something is wrong with the link on the competition page

[sin0822]

this isn't worth anything in this comp, because there is no room for 865 series LGA775, but this is my ABIT pride!!!!

E0 stepping, hell yea!!! haha kind of funny stepping # as we are where we are with technology ATM.

Thanks ABIT, you made OCing genuinely exciting!

I just bought on ebay :

carte mère ABIT NF7-S + un processeur AMD Athlon XP 3000+ muni d'un radiateur tout cuivre SLK-800 de Thermalright

For € 21,01

Thats right, but still 5GHz for a P4, its impressive

hey all..

my buddy friend from ex abit indonesia give it to me yesterday.

he said one of them are rare mainboard, only 9 is has come out in the world.

since i miss knowledge about LGA mainboard in the past. i'm not sure which one of mainboard is rare, perhaps someone could help me to find it which one is rare.

 

next, i will test all of them..

crap, i think my IC7 got damaged by a power supply failure. When the OC >3.5 Ghz i get a "disc read error" anything below this and then all works fine.

[Mr.Scott]

Don't know about only 9 in the world but that IP45 Pro is pretty rare.

[Jerre]

Look at that, i think the IC7 wasn't hit by the powersupply failure after all

[sin0822]

Hey I love IC7-G still have one going strong in a P4 machine that is 24/7 for the past 5-6 years. Dont diss.

 

And thanks, over 5G was a milestone for me!, its actually a WR in CPU freq for that CPU. I used a Chilly1 SS, i know its not good to say his name, but he was good to me. I was around way before most of you, when i coudl buy a brand new SS that held 250W load at -48C for $300 USD+$100 overnight shipping. It was a prototype first one he sold with a display for temp and a relay.

 

Anyways its bringing back memories for me of good volt mods and love!

Here's a pic of my pride and joy of the Abits I have.

 

It's an unmodded NF7 v2.0 that's close to perfect condition. Factory stock right down to the Abit chipset cooler. Only thing different is the obvious additional cooler for the SB and that's easily removed you know. Posting with it right now just to give it a little runtime since I rarely use it and it's always worked perfectly since I've had it.

 

No guys, it's not for sale either..... But I'd be willing to bet if I did the mods, it would be a good one.

[Massman]

I need to check my attic. I'm sure I have some (dead) NF7s lying around. And a BH6 too ...

[placid]

I can't submit my AX78 score, after submit this message appears :

 

"Oops. Something went wrong.

We could blame this on you but it's most likely our crappy coding skills. You could try again or nudge our developpers for fixing this."

 

Is this happen because Abit AX78 not in list yet?
