May 27, 201015 yr "Cold slow" problem my ass!....I can solve this with a hardware mod...... I am always waiting.
May 29, 201015 yr Those who will take part in MOA in Paris have chance to participate in this contest absolutely for free
June 1, 201015 yr "please use MSI board" so i am not obliged to use an MSI Board ? otherwise write : "use ONLY MSI Board"
June 1, 201014 yr You can try not using an MSI board, but I don't think you'll be able to submit. Who does an overclocker communicate with in regards to clarification of these manufacturer driver overclocking events? Is there designated coordinators or is that you Massman?
June 1, 201014 yr I can answer the easy questions. Manufacturer reps are watching the forums in case a more in-depth issue comes up.
June 4, 201014 yr Well this seems pretty simple to me. When a competition is anounced read the rules, if you don't agree don't compete. When the overclockers are walking away from manufacturers competitions instead of competing hopefully they take notice. That is precisely my take on things as well
June 5, 201014 yr ES Allowed, no use to compete.. If retail only, probably would because I have a retail.. Would probably pony up for a board.. SO 1000+ plus for ES.. to win 1000 dollars.. hmmm... will throw the board out after... Not worth it.. If retail only then hey im only stuck to the board... better.. could deal with it.. better chance. These comps are really just FAIL... The last and final resort to the competitions is HWBOT. You control the posts and the framework. You could standup for the community and not allow the competition. I think all mods should be disclosed for all competitions..Whys it fair if someone is holding onto the only knowing Ace in the whole.. Seriously we have even communicate this.. If you can't tell that from all of these competitions are a fail.. look at all the participants... pretty bad.. Kingpins comp did probably better than all of them put together.. food for thought.. and common sense really...
June 5, 201014 yr How about a no mods clause also with no ES.. You would get alot more competition.. Maybe hold some HWbot competition with the most used equipment... You have the queries to figure that out..
June 7, 201014 yr FAIL I have only X58A-UD7 Mother Board MSI FAIL again why MSI Fail? because you only have a Giga Mobo? Well i hope met you at GOOC Mexico ill do my best. Nos vemos alli!
June 7, 201014 yr How about a no mods clause also with no ES.. You would get alot more competition.. Maybe hold some HWbot competition with the most used equipment... You have the queries to figure that out.. First statement is wrong. It's been proven over and over again that disallowing ES in competitions doesn't increase the amount of participants. Sounds right in theory, but ain't true. Most used equipment != most owned equipment. It's very likely that the i7 920 has been used the most, but that doesn't mean a lot of overclockers have this CPU at their home.
June 8, 201014 yr I don't think so man. I think MSI allows only Big Bang Xpower users to participate in this contest.
June 8, 201014 yr Acutally is says "Please use a MSI Big Bang XPower motherboard."I have a MSI X58M board... can I submit with that? I asked this, but no. Reason is quite simple: the XPower is the only board that has been designed for Gulftown. Not that the other boards would explode and burn down your house, but overclocking results will very likely to almost certainly be much inferior to the XPower.
June 10, 201014 yr no msi bigbang xpower in retail......are we(public) competing against sponsored benchers? lmao release date in north america?
June 12, 201014 yr It seems like one shop in the Netherlands has it already in stock : http://www.hardware.info/nl-NL/productdb/bGNkZJiSmJLKZMiYlw/viewproduct/MSI_Big_BangXPower/
June 12, 201014 yr Crew Nah Salland always does this trick but you still have to wait weeeeeeeeks before the board arrives...
June 23, 201014 yr So where's that retail MSI X58 Big Bang Xpower yet MSI ? We're tired of being breast-feeded with Xtremely Powerful loads of bollocks. Are you guys going to step up anytime soon ?
June 23, 201014 yr Bench, you don't give up brotha... I hope you watch what you eat.. Your going to give yourself a heart attack.. Just not worth it.. I just got one in... nice looking board.. Let's see how she clocks...
June 23, 201014 yr So... it's been on NewEgg for 1 week ? It's 10 days 'til the contest ends. I'm not in the USA at the moment, and I can't find it in Europe ( no matter where I look, feel free to pick any country ).
June 23, 201014 yr Allow me to have some doubts about the availability at those... shops. I had a terrible experience with CU.net in the past and with 4launch. Maybe our friends from the Netherlands and Germany can share their experience with those shops.
