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

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...

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... =)

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... =)

check the 1st post for info =)

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 =)

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...

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

memang best =D

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...

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

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 =)

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 =)

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...

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 =)

yup, provided... of coz =)

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...

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...
