OBR Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Seems that MSI has got some profit on this event, especially on Lightnings sells -)) BINGO! You will complete pay ticket/hotel expenses for others Quote
thebanik Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 BINGO! You will complete pay ticket/hotel expenses for others Till a few years ago these comps used to be closed to normal overclockers and only being a invite only competition, even then we (overclockers) used to have problems, and now that its open we still complain. So what should be done???? Make these competitions again for only Pro-Overclockers???? Though even I have a problem, and that is the prizes, that should be higher, some1 earning 6th & 7th Position in the continent (or 2) should not be handed over just a motherboard IMO, Many would say they do not participate to Win paltry prizes but glory or other such fascinating things but I believe atleast better prizes for the next few should be done which was the case earlier.

[GF]Duke Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 I was going to do 03 after SPI... so no backup in fact I don't like this all backup game lol Yes but you know it's what people do. Be prepared, cause there are sandbaggers in these comps. Quote
[GF]Duke Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 BINGO! You will complete pay ticket/hotel expenses for others That is so not true dude. We/our purchases are a pimple on the ass of the hardware production line for any of these companies. Quote
Crew Vivi Posted June 11, 2012 Crew Posted June 11, 2012 I don't know about you guys but i love the risk! Love the burn, love the death, love the victory. Great results taste even sweeter when you've tried so hard to get there. Knowing my nice CPU might die at any moment makes it more thrilling (maybe im just weird..). I have one more push to do, tomorrow. I killed my ref 7970, tough shit. But because i have such an amazing friend Drweez managed to swap it out for a lightning 7970 with little cost extra. Win! The only thing i HATE about this competition is that butterfly that won't land on the rock in 03 Quote
Crew pro Posted June 11, 2012 Crew Posted June 11, 2012 lol yeah nature is hard on the VGA, artifacts near the butterfly landing on the rock many times Quote
T0lsty Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 We hope to have something more to show ..... So you take place in the contest this year? Quote
dinos22 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 The only thing i HATE about this competition is that butterfly that won't land on the rock in 03 haha Quote
T0lsty Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Massman how do you calculate places if members have the same points quantity? Quote
dinos22 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 didn't he used to go by the rule, first submit, first to top spot with equal points? i could be wrong Quote
slamms Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 If you will be true, Aristidis will be higher me. Quote
Massman Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 You mean competition points or benchmark points? Competition points => 3dmark11 is decisive benchmark Benchmark points => first submit is ranked higher Quote
T0lsty Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 competition points thanks boss p.s. should we calculate the rounded points for competition rank, or those 60 - 43,2 - 38,4 - 36 - 33,6 - 31,2 - 28,8 - 26,4 including decimals? Quote
DrWeez Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 eish! The EMEA MOA Qualifiers has been extremely tough for alot of us judging by some of the conversations and posts here. while MSi has done a great job with the Z77A-GD65 and i like the board compared to its predecessors but only the first couple of bench session are great and then something go's wrong with the ME8/bios and or the components on the board. I have had 4 boards now that developed the issue where the maximum multiplier is 39x and after a wipe/reflash the board works and functionality is restored but no stability at high clocks and low temps can be reached again. added to this have tested a total of five 7970 Lightnings and the results have been a wild! 1) LN2 CB -140 1600 @ 1.598 - AIR 1300Mhz @ 1.3 2) LN2 CB -30 1550 @ 1.550 - AIR 1300Mhz @ 1.3 3) LN2 CB -80 1630 @ 1.610 - AIR 1300Mhz @ 1.3 - DEAD (0.0 vGPU) 4) LN2 CB -90 1500 @ 1.650 - AIR 1200Mhz @ 1.3 - DEAD (0.0 vGPU) 5) LN2 CB -95 1610 @ 1.620 - AIR 1300Mhz @ 1.3 Last night my best 7970 lightning died while testing memory clocks for SuperPi32 on a GD65 that had the 39x error fix, stock bios, stock heat sink at stock clocks just 5 seconds into 06 with 0.0vGPU :( My best sessions was always my first session so after 4 weeks of hard frustrating benching tonight will be my last dash to the finish line (If I can get 03 and 11 to load) with my last good 7970 on my 5th GD65 with a new CPU. This has been a real wild ride of emotions but all the same what a great competition and good luck to everyone during the last 2 days of benching Thank you MSi, Hwbot and every one else who has assisted and advised over the last 4 weeks Quote
T0lsty Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 dRweEz holy moly! pity to hear that. i wonder if anybody benched for the compo without any hardware issues. Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I guess every team killed something during MOA :banana: Quote
|ron Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 I killed my teammate, since killing hw was too mainstream Quote
Crew Vivi Posted June 12, 2012 Crew Posted June 12, 2012 lol dinos! (laughed irl) lol iron this thread is great for comic releif Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 This thread is really great (despite all this killed hardware lol) |ron - hahahaha you made my day 3930K must be better You were right, finally found 3930K with 55 multi working :banana: Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Xtreme Addict congratulations my friend!!! Thx Hope it will survive MSI boards. Not bad CPU for some 4x GPU action Quote
slamms Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 new Lightning seems is better: VID 1.04v and ASIC 82% Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 new Lightning seems is better: VID 1.04v and ASIC 82% Never checked ASIC and VID, I know only my best (on ln2) Lightning does only 1150 MHz @ 1.3v on AC lol and my worst (on ln2) did 1300 MHz @ 1.3v @ AC Quote
