Of course i am in
BTW,what platform?And maxmemm??Damm i am so screwed

hardware TBC

so superPI stable enough edi ?

in

where's d location ?
if got time i wanna go see can ?
or is it a closed event ?

yes bro... no one run 12 hrs prime in competition... even hwbot doesnt have such a category...

nais ! but im too scared u all good at clocking !
anyway, can i just come to watch n learn ?

at lowyat.... its not a closed event la... tentatively shd be 7th august... i hope more ppl would join to make the OC community in malaysia more active...

Added on July 15, 2010, 8:29 pmu shd join la... i hope u all can discover more in overclocking... seriously i find doin prime for 12 hrs or so doesnt really mean anything... i mean i used to do that and then later on i found that its kinda waste of time... u stress test ur high end pc more than u use it man...

Added on July 15, 2010, 8:31 pmhahaha its up to preference right ^^,
i myself prefer stable system though rather than just benchmark results .

This post has been edited by monsh: Jul 15 2010, 08:31 PM

just do it... gain some experience... everything also got first time one =)

when i prime that time...it was 4 - 5 yrs back.... b4 i push all the hardwares can do and prime stable... i m already changing the hardwares lol.... thats why i stopped it and jumped to another area of overclocking....

for me pushing to the limit and finish off the benchmarks is more thrilling than getting it prime stable coz it takes long time... =)

ahaha nvm i'll pass this time but i'll be there learning bro .
hehe

aiya... i dont think u can learn anything man cause only participants can be in the area, spectators all outside... well its up to u la... =)

time? location?

check the 1st post for info =)

haiyark !
not fun laa like this !

well it has to be like that to avoid any unfairness to the participants... u can still see them from close area, but not that close la =)

duno to OC intel leh
never tried before

im not pro but im interested. so can i join?

wow, look interesting

monsh,lets go n watch...
i want to see the event too....
im to noob to participate....

u should join bro...

owikh go join !
me n selfdz will bring banner !

sure can

monsh, selfdz87 and owikh84 u 3 are really funny, so active in the x58 thread, OC so much to get passed 4k uncore and 2k mem and now dont even have the guts to join competition??? seriously i really dont know whats holding u guys back...

Go go guys. nice event there alex. nice effort. need help just let me know. marshall?

i dont have the plan yet... in fact u shd join as well

well i will let u know once i got more info la

me malu
hahaha
well i dont think my clocking skill would be sufficient to join the competition .
and again malu laa !

another rikimaru , tot wan bring banner cheer u de

macam best je ni

memang best =D

jom?

capped speed??
1156 platform??

cepat bro confirmkan.

speed not capped bro... all hardwares will be provided... so clock as high as u can... i want u guys to experience what will happen in the real competition... that is my intention =D

i can certainly confirm that it will be P55 platform but the details one i m not sure... awaiting for gigabyte to provide me as well...

if p55 play i5 duallie syiok lah...i7 hottie cant do suicide run

superfly : but what if the proc dies? hehe

This post has been edited by ezzydamvp: Jul 16 2010, 09:47 AM

lol, what if cstkl1, owikh, metsasu join the competition, sure spice up a lot...

i guess most working ppl find it difficult to join la... susah to take leaves...

well it shouldnt be i7 la... dun worry... i suggested i5 also... now waiting for their confirmation on this... cpu wont die that easily la... hardware die will not be bear by the contestants la... lol...

well its a weekend la... not during weekdays... the OC contest falls on saturday only, the rest of the days are gigabyte's roadshow, u guys can drop by and look look see see... no harm =D

those without experience in OCing intel's new line can join ka?

why not ler??? anyone can join as long as u have the base on how to OC... it just that u will have some disadvantage than the ppl who have experience on it as u need to try it out during the contest... well here is a good link for u to do some reading...

http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-guide-o...-core-i3-i5-i7/

its a very good guide =)

haha testing is better than reading bro .
since its based on p55 chipset, then i lagi maw pass cause never try that platform >.<"

But I dont play i5 leh.. No experience hehe
Ehh im pretty free on weekends jz tat transportation fee is huhu... Well i always take bus to KL

well if u made that effort to come i think u shd join since u come all the way from pg... if u win at least u get something back... better ROI than just looking and them OC-ing... i5 and i7 is pretty much the same... the different is not as great as a c2d... the settings are almost the same just that it uses dual channels... its just an casual contest so... go there and fire the system up and oc and bench thats all... fail retry new settings... its just superpi1m and maxxmem.... it should not take u more than 5 minutes from bootting up to windows and run the benchmarks =)

haha yea it does sounds easy but need to do more research as well .
heard the p55 need lesser VTT

there ya go... u know about this also... i dont even know... well... for competition.... no one care how low voltage u achieve certain speed.... all we care is how high performance can u get... voltages is kinda out of the picture... as long as cooling is sufficient... hence we used extreme cooling for it...

count me in

oh okay since ur talking about the cooling system, what sort of cooling will be used ?

if we're talking bout LN2 or subzero cooling then im out for sure .
its definitely not my field already .

Just hentam voltage provided your cooling is sufficient
Last time@Gigabyte Workshop,i hentam 1.55vcore on I5 650 with stock cooler

stock cooler more than enough dy

hahaha yeah since superfly said the tester wont have to compensate for the loss of any product, my hand starting to feel a bit itchy to try out as well .

join in lar

im in process of dragging ezzy to take part too

segan silu yaw !

added u in bro, thx for joining =)

no la bro... air cooling... for starter i dont hope u guys to jump straight to extreme cooling yet... just take it step by step... will try to organise more competitions or event then later we will proceed from there... well for this time around, it shdnt be stock cooler, i hope... some third party cooler or u guys prefer to bring own cooling solutions??? say limited to air cooling =)

ahaaa... can jumpa ini org...main cubit2

kita brodate mmmkay

one more thing... OS image provided?

must study back the os tweak

sigh

yup, provided... of coz =)

huargh ~ ada OS tweak pulak .
haih i'll stay behind the curtain laa like this .

os tweak
cached memory

lots of thing

wazza lagi

ok im out .
malas nak consider already !
i got final year project this sem and im not even done clocking my current rig .

ok

one less competitor to worry about.

te he he he

see.. syg so jht.. give people jizz in the pant only
monsh don't want edi

well u will nv learn if u dont join... for benchmarks there is a lot of tweak which priming doesnt require... in competition, its about BIOS familiarity and how to tweak the system to get better results...

more prizes for us to keep babe

@hilmi

@sup3r
what about other software?
does it mean we just need to bring our body alone

i think this is one of those event where we just have to attend only.
no need to bring benching hdd or nothing

say TAK NAK to tweaking !
haha
its ok la im still in learning process .
relax, slow2 .
its not like the hardware technology ends today .

ya bring ur body and ur skill as well

yeah no need to bring anything... like i said... i might suggest u guys to bring own cooling tho.... i m still waiting for the confirmation.. will update again


up to u la...

Good event...

im thinking to participate...

i newbie but... i would like to try

This post has been edited by krutz: Jul 16 2010, 03:42 PM

yeah... try it... win or lose nvm one ma.. just a contest anyway =)

count me in

ok... added u in

hopefully cooling provided :/

malas remove my hyper 212+ leh..

well if u nv bring ur own cooling we will provide cooling to u... hows that sound?

how bout a same set of part for each of the contestant.

the only variable is the contestant tweaking skill and luck.

All hardwares are the same

keh keh keh ! lets see who else joins

monsh...
come2 we need to prepare the banner...
what to write??
go tiger!!!go tiger!!!

forgot to include the cooling too.
same cooler for all.

that should make it interesting.

agree with hilmi all hardwares including cooling should be same. then all will depends on OC skill + luck

count me in, although i got 0 exp in intel OC

ekekeke how's

"Say No To OC !
Save The Electricity !
Save The Earth !"

now dat's a nice banner .

well priming consume more electcity than doin benchmarks la.... Imagine u prime for 12 hrs how many benchmarks results i can generate? Lol

count me in first, can cancel right if something comes up? hopefully nothing comes up

well i will set an end date for registration... hopefully u can confirm before that lo.. i will add u in 1st

Cooling provided is better for me cause i got no heatsink
So looking forward to this

But you know, hardware can be used to "save" money as well, and enviroment!

ETH, a university in Swiss, it gets ~9KW to central heating system, from its sever.,.... Now aint that something?

damn !
but we're in msia we dun need more heat .
we need to drop temp .

i just love ur passion of being whatever u are doing... keep it going =)

meaning ?
dude if there's any clown job for distracting contestant then i'll sign up .
just make sure there's padded armor cause i scared kene gang bang

means do whatever u think its suitable in overclocking... i cant change ur point of view... just hope that u will realise the diff one day

well each of u will be assign to a table with hardwares on it... so just do whatever u want there... if u find someone distracting u... then u can tell the marshal then we will do something lo... lol...

i want be marshall can ?
haha

thats not me to decide la lol... i would prefer u to join xD

hehe
still considering joining or not .
see price and stuffs 1st la ^^,

alex: TEAM or Single participant?

depends on how many participants and how many rig they can provide... i m still waiting for the answer...sigh...
