Posted January 4, 201312 yr Very Interesting Would love to see more categories to fight such as BCLK , Mem. Clock & other 3DMark though, since the past 3 FM2 competition(ECS,GBT and MSI) already have the same 'targets' (CPU-Z n 3DVantage). Oh well, hitting the IT Mall tomorrow , hopefully the board is available :) Cheers,
January 4, 201312 yr Very interesting, I would have to buy motherboard and CPU for this and that cost almost similar to the prize, but seems interesting and funny for participate. If I can find good components, maybe I enter to this one...just for fun.
January 5, 201312 yr So.....this is a 5800K competition? Question! "Each contestant is only eligible to win 1 (one) prize. Grand prize or weekly, no repeat winners If a contestant qualifies for multiple prizes, he/she will win the Grand Prize or the first weekly prize he/she qualified for" Does that mean that if someone wants to win the grand prize, they can only submit scores in week 4?

As I understand, you can win each stage but only the gran prize will be given to you, the week prizes will be delivered to the second place in competition. Yeah, seems a 5800K competition.
January 5, 201312 yr Author So.....this is a 5800K competition? For the 3DMarkVantage stage, it probably is..... but for the CPU-Z stage, maybe there will be 5400K / 5600K strong enough to compete with 5800k in raw frequency? (I never tried the 5600k and/or 5400k so I don't know about this one) Speaking of which, the ASRock A85 board turned to be out of stock , had to wait until the local distributor have it in their stock again , argh... (T_T)

(T_T) For cpuz yeah, but buy two APU cpus would cost more than buy the prizes for your own. I will go today to the store, I guess that all of you guys are looking for the A85X Extreme6? I'm still thinking if enter or not....
January 8, 201312 yr Nice Competition with a good prize......but that's to be equal with the prize for buying A10 n A85X Extreme 6 =))
January 9, 201312 yr Author in 1st stage... hard to find golden cpu here..IGP would be more interesting.. Dude, I'm not sure which one is harder, finding a golden A10-5800K, or actually finding the FM2A85X Xtreme6 motherboard in our country - the local distributor sucks! LOL :D

January 9, 201312 yr Nickshin should help us with the motherboard from ASRock to all the world wow, I only can buy one 5800K... Any way, I'm out even without enter...the 5800k was easy to find but the board in the other way isn't. I can buy it in Newegg and import it but would arrive at home at the middle of the competition... Good lucks guys
January 9, 201312 yr $129 each that just makes me sad. good luck bro would be happy to export for you unless they hammer you with taxes either way
January 9, 201312 yr Allen just bought all the bad chips! Such a kind and helpful guy brown hand strikes again, taking all the sh1t chips out of circulation for you guys
January 9, 201312 yr The amd must love these contests, that is good for disposing the A10 5800K stock! I already buy
January 10, 201312 yr Just to clarify, for the CPU-Z stage discrete graphics are allowed! So not just APU.
