March 24, 201411 yr Been looking for some freq memory that's cheap for last few days no luck,see all the G skill 2933 cl12 stuff sold out @ newegg
March 24, 201411 yr A lot of stuff is available in stock in Germany http://geizhals.de/?cat=ramddr3&v=l&sort=p&xf=2216_DDR3~254_2800~1126_G.Skill~256_2x~1454_4096#xf_top  Let me know if you need help. Can buy and ship to you guys if needed.
March 24, 201411 yr Administrators How about single sided CFR? The G.Skill samples are usually not bad if you know what to buy and at HOT contest, the Kingston samples using these did better than most MFR...  P.S. plus these are much cheaper and won´t empty your wallet
March 24, 201411 yr So there not paying for the trip and hotel? Pretty interesting choice for this.. Â Need to find a damn retail chip... Too much fun with crazy es... Lets see if I can find 6.7 retail...
March 24, 201411 yr Thanks for the offer der8auer will see how I go locally first  How about single sided CFR? The G.Skill samples are usually not bad if you know what to buy and at HOT contest, the Kingston samples using these did better than most MFR... P.S. plus these are much cheaper and won´t empty your wallet  This sounds good just need to be sure on what I'm buying I guess
March 25, 201411 yr You need 1000e mem stick You need Golden Haswell ( already buy 44piece, no good cpu -> xxxxx euros) You need 780Ti (600-700e)  If you succes, and be in top6 -> You need to buy flying ticket 2000e You need to paid for Hotel (dunno price in taipei)  Really ????  Best for the end... "People who qualifiy for the live event must bring their own hardware to the event. Hardware includes G.SKILL memory, CPU, Motherboard and VGA, torch, LN2 container, thermos."  it seems that these rules have been made ​​to prevent "normal" people to win ... Good luck to cpu mafia.
March 25, 201411 yr No flight and hotel is actually not a big problem as a lot of overclockers will be at computex anyway.  However taking all the hardware with you is a big problem. Firstly because you are limited by 20-25kg weight depending on the airline. Secondly because the guys with the biggest wallets will win if you don't do stickt limitations or fixed clock competitions. Even if I would qualify I would never have a chance against the sick CPUs from ViVi or John Lam.  Another strange thing is that the winner will get 10 000 USD and the runner up some memory which is not even worth the flight ticket. Not really well balanced  Regarding the rule The participants can not be an employee or family member of computer hardware manufacturers Only manufacturers or also people who work at e.g. a computer store?

March 25, 201411 yr Crew Hopefully we can watch the spectacle Live Roman... Â Second thought I honestly think your 4670K CPU has a chance man... my 6100 one absolutely not so tired of Haswell
March 25, 201411 yr So G.skill created contest for 2 ocers it seems  If Vivi is a judge, I am out (no $ to buy tickets), it only comes down to John Lam and 8 Pack
March 25, 201411 yr Hopefully we can watch the spectacle Live Roman...  Second thought I honestly think your 4670K CPU has a chance man... my 6100 one absolutely not so tired of Haswell  No 780Ti here unfortunately and so far no MFR either 32m will be alright I guess. I will try at least
March 25, 201411 yr Crew So G.skill created contest for 2 ocers it seems  If Vivi is a judge, I am out (no $ to buy tickets), it only comes down to John Lam and 8 Pack  You forgot Splave, Loud and Gunslinger
March 25, 201411 yr Gun has no good retail hasfail, Splave has dead retail hasfail (2 cores only) which did 6.6 GHz? The same Loud, also dead one (2 cores too?) and if I remember correctly his was 6.5 GHz  No match for 8 Pack's or John Lam's cpu(s)
March 26, 201411 yr Exactly, this competition is limited for 5 guys if not less. Good luck Edited March 26, 201411 yr by FireKillerGR

The same Loud, also dead one (2 cores too?) and if I remember correctly his was 6.5 GHz  No match for 8 Pack's or John Lam's cpu(s)  6.65 and my sticks maybe enough  lol its all good, can only try right? I think this will be popular to the Japanese and Chinese benchers.  Only need to be top 6 anything can happen live, even michal can beat me in 32m live!! haha  My only gripe, I dont want to see peoples high binned MFR that are judges or ineligible given to teammates no way to track this really so it is what it is.  Other than that, thanks GSKILL for having a contest!! Going to be a great fight!
March 26, 201411 yr No flight and hotel is actually not a big problem as a lot of overclockers will be at computex anyway. And for all other overclocker ???
April 1, 201411 yr There are 2800MHz TridentX's in stock here if they are of use to anyone: http://www.memoryc.com/computer-memory/ddr3.html#Standard=PC3+22400&page=0
April 7, 201411 yr My personal opinion: I agree with earlier comments. This so called open qualifier is essentially a way to immediately separate the guys that have already been selected and predicted. Those that can go: a. Have Access to fast amounts of money and or huge crates full of hardware that they can try (who picks up the bill?). b. Have sponsors behind them (are they than not viewed as working for a manufacturer.....?. What about the people that go there professionally (as said before) are they not viewed as working for a manufacturer even in related areas? . While their companies pay the bills. c. People that have easy access to extreme cooling material d. As predicted in earlier comments the winners are already easily to pinpoint. e. Have enough money to travel to (for me) the other side of the world. F. It is stated that the area is at small walking distance? Personally I am disabled I can't walk very far. Â All in all even though I like events like this, I feel that this is not really an open and fair contest. Why not give people that use normal 24/7 use-able Pc's and only on th free market available air and water cooling. That way at least a lot more people can enter and have a chance to win. On top of that, making it really a truly exciting event because nobody could than predict the winners. Â
April 7, 201411 yr Famous quote by:Mark McKinnon:The initial attraction of a political convention=open contest, was that often the outcome was not preordained. There was at least some element of surprise. But, now it's like tuning in to a movie where you already know the plot and the ending. It's just not that interesting..
