Imagine all the people battling for TOP 15 on a livestream-camera. That would be intense! Flames, sweat and liquid nitrogen or just a bunch of dudes in pants surrounded by smoke looking at a screen :P

 

Anyways, congrats to all that made it out alive.

 

Luckily for me, I bought only one GPU. It was brand new from a webshop, but judging by the marks, someone had it. Oh and with a burned GPU reactor as a bonus with bent and melted pins :P

Also sorry to hear :( my first board is only X16 capable now :D

 

After almost 100x CMOS Clear presses and 1h in the oven it went back to "life"...anyway competition done, the rest of LN will be used for M4E-Z which runs fine even after hours at -190c :D

Ok guys, I am finally end for MOA.

 

My costs:

 

I bought 3x MSI Lightning HD 7970 - 2000$

Intel Core i7 3770K 6700 Spi 32M is dead - priceless + 330$

MSI Big Bang II XPower is dead, working only 3 channels DIMMs - 400$

MSI Z77A-GD65 is dead, VRM phases is dead, start and random shutdown under load - 200$

 

Totally: 2930$

 

And we have two ways now:

 

1. When Smoke come back from Taiwan buy new Lightning and X79A-GD65 650+250$

2. Buy 2 tickets in Taipei and be as guests! :D price 1500-2000$

Sorry to hear, I completely understand you

 

I bought:

5x Lightning 7970 (3 are dead)

2x Z77A-GD65 (one is locked to x16 multi)

X79A-GD45 (the only available) but it appeared that my 3930K C1 retail (5450 MHz) is half dead and doesn't work on MSI boards, so I RMA'ed it

3960X C2 (cause my 3930K died) which will be on Monday

3x i7 3770K, but it was not bad move, I found 6.7 chip :)
