Welcome to The Gigabyte Bearlake Overclocking Challenge thread.

(STARTs 1st June ~ 30th June 2007 ENDs)

Come and challenge one another and stand a chance to win RM1,000 cash & attractive Gigabyte Products!!..



Winners arent determined by the highest scores BUT their overclocking ability
(difference between default and overclocked score)

Judges will not pay attention to OC scores that are due to their graphic card being OC.

Hardware used for the default and OC benchmarking must be the same. Modified hardware, other than OC via software or hardware enhancements, will be disqualified.

Participants please take note*

IF there's a tremendous respond from this event, we will create 2 category

one will be the Expert and Novice Category.

Novice:- Air Cooling ONLY

Expert:- Everything else(Water cooling, Freon, Liquid Nitrogen)

There's no limit on how you want to overclock your system, as long as you use any GIGABYTE P35 Motherboard. (YES, that means Freon Cooling is possible too ! )
PS: the insane OCers are most welcome to use Liquid Nitrogen, IF u can find any. BUT we shall not be responsible or liable in anyway.

well do remember its only valid to any Gigabyte P35 Mobo Users
the last day to submit 30th June. after that, we will not entertain any more reply and the judges will finalise on the scores.

so once again, the category will be split into 2 section, Novice & Expert if the turn out is overwhemling.
and the prizes will be allocated by the Judges

eheh.. sorry, only P35 users can participate

ehehe okiee dokiee.. as long as its the P35 Chipset series, u can go ahead n OC

YES you can participate in both.

In the event if we do create the Expert Category due to overwhelming responce from the experts, u will be able to enter both categories, however, you can ONLY win 1 category.

and again, if only the responce is good, we will have 2 categories:- Expert & Novice category.

eheh.. come battle it out with all the OCer titans from lyn.

go super hardcore haha

sorry my typo.
after adding the 0 forgot to remove the k

thanks

this OC challenge was organise in kind heart by Gigabyte/HWM/GameAxis for the the community ma, and prizes are quite reasonable ma.. so dun complain eheh

and we dont really know how many participant will turn up as this P35 Board is quite new so, might not have alot of contestant.

IF thats is the case. we'll have all the categories group into 1. n the 6 prizes compile together into 3 or 4 winners prizes after verifying how many participants turn up lo.

its jst a little something by Gigabyte to hype our OCers community

1. well the pcmark n the cpuz result will show me wat hardware u are using, but u can state it clearly for me in a list for easier reference. well weather if we know u are using air cooling or watercooling. its up to u to state so plesae be honest with us
other den the judges to check the scores. the winner will be invited to our office to do a OCRUN. so.. den we'll roughly know if u are cheating or not

2. yes, as long as its a P35/Gigabyte.

3. its up to you to use wat ever proc u wan. we jst wanna see from stock to overclock difference OC ability

4. we meant by change hardware like. first run u using a normal ram, den during the OC session u use some better rams

5. Yes, only cpuz n pcmark scores. & if u'r trial user, provide me ur user name n password. the judges will check the breakdown scores, not jst only the fsb gained.

6. Engineering Sample Processor OFCOURSE cannot use la.. that wont be fair to other ppl ma..

eheh.. keep it cool dude

lets make it easy & fair for everyone.

i m sure majority will agree on it

can i have a head count on who's participating?

This post has been edited by moon*: Jun 7 2007, 04:46 PM

eheh.. we arent discriminating ES processor la

jst that we one something that can be reach from the shelves.

ES are hard to get. n well.. we duwan later issues where by later ppl complain cos they using normal n the winner using an "ES" procs.

jst wanna avoid issues similar to tat.. ehm.. so.. ALeUNe,
u joining this challenge?

well. who ever is joining this challenge please let me know, i wanna make a head count

lol.. ohh u'r using a P35 izzit?

u dunnit to remove wat.

jst leave ur cooling stuff there.. but clock ur settings back to stock/default/ run a pcmark05.done.

den, u start to OC it.

it doesnt mean u have to remove all the stuff n put stock heatsink.
u can water cool it from the start, but jst make sure its at default clock settings n etc..

yes its goin on. i believe 1 person should be already OC-ing it right now. jst havnt subscribe.
other den the VGA, how u overclock ur ram/proc/fsb all will be taken into account from default to oc scores. we will see the clocking differences from stock to OC. not by highest score.

we will judge from stock to OC result.
how much u can over clock from the default settings.

once again, we are looking for motherboard over clocking ability not VGA over clocking

IF by anychance your scores/result boost up tremendously and its due to the VGA, that may become the factor you will win or not as we do not encourage user to OC their VGA n get high scores.
