It has been very long since i meet fellow local OverClockers to OverClock together. So last week i managed to loan some hardware from MSI Malaysia for our mini event. The idea is to do a HWBot OC Marathon. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out as we would like it to be. We had quite a handful of hardware to bench and submit to HWBot but we only have 1 day to do that. So minus some hardware/software problems, we only managed a few scores to be submitted. Too bad the recent concluded Gigabyte Mini Competition champion, xixo_12 couldn't join us as he had to attend a oral test. And our beloved dblooi has some personal issue that day. But it couldn't be blamed as it was kinda a very rush event. They were notified few days earlier only.

We had 30KG of Dry Ice in hand for our mini-event. So i was incharged of the Intel Rig while verdict with is usual, AMD! As both of us are Super Pi lovers, so we kick start with Super Pi run on the AMD Rig. Initially we had some boot-up issue with the setup and waste a some time there. But verdict was a fighter and wouldn't want to give up. After 3 trial of resetting the Pot and Processors, we managed to run the setup without any problem.




As for the Intel session, i miss our dearly dblooi benching together. As i always has this phobia to tune up the voltage but dblooi is not. Eventually i regretted my run as the max vcore i used was 1.68v only. If i had to up to 1.8v maybe i'll get a better result. During the OverClocking of Intel session, we do not encounter any weird problem whatsoever. It has been a smooth run. So here goes.

Initially we would like to bench more with all above. And also with a Intel i7 940 ES pairing with a MSI X58A GD-65 but turn out we do not have enough time. Therefore we only what we managed to do. As for the Futuremark results, it fare moderately due to the fact Intel i5 655K is only a dual-core processor and it's Clarkdale. But we are still happy with the outcome. Honestly we hope it still can be considered as a HWBot OC Marathon but i guess we have to be realistic as the results submitted were not that much to be considered as a Marathon. However we had our good time together getting know each other 'once again' and sharing some tweaks as well.

Special mention to MSI Malaysia for loaning us all the hardware for the event. Greatly appreciated.

xixo_12: no worries dude. there's always next time.
verdict: hehe... but still no time to play with it.
selferino: from what i heard, MSI Malaysia still contemplating whether to bring it in to the local market or not. if i remember correctly.

hilmiangah: sure thing, anytime. after xixo told me he can't make it, it leave the decision to verdict to pick his teammate. as lacus is our regular, lol. any gathering he sure with us.

kuntawakaw: i'll try to make another round. by that time you can come. and actually every one from AMD clan is welcomed. wkkkwkkwkkk....
