Hello Lowyat.NET OC Gurus and friends.

Team K.O.C finally decided to take the initiative to organise an OverClocking Competition for Malaysian PC Enthusiats after blindly waiting for one to materialize. Only the recent concluded Gigabyte Bearlake Overclocking Challenge 2007 as the final OverClocking Competition. Howerer, we are more into a Live OverClocking Competition. After some successful Silverstone/Autosurf Case Modding Lanparty and Lowyat ATE OC Demos, we guess it is the time for a bigger event specially pro Lowyat.NET forumers.

Initial plans for this event has already started. TEAM K.O.C has already gain some supports locally and even from abroad. There is possibility that some foreign teams will be invited to join this competition. Namely VR-Zone (Singapore), Speedtime (China), UnLimitPc (Thailand) and Benny and Gang (Indonesia). Therefore, in order to make sure the event is a success, we would like to do an Interest Check for those who are interested to join this event. Below are some of the competition details but nothing is final yet. It is still applies to changes.


Date: December 2007
Time: Whole Day Event
Location: Lowyat Plaza
Entry Fee: Not more than RM50 / Free
Teaming: 2 person
Category 1: Air/Water Cooling
Category 2: Dry Ice Cooling
Benchmark: Super Pi, 3DMark, PCMark


To ensure the competition is fair and square, we try to provide all the hardwares necessary for the challenge. Participants only need to bring their cooling gadgets. We will also try to provide Dry Ice for the Extreme Cooling Category. If everything goes well, Entry Fee will be lifted.


For those who are interested please reply in this thread. While for parties who are interested to sponser this event, please PM Sanko or lolhalol. All the best and Pray for us.

YUP, i'm interested, but strictly to Air Cooling only

haha another lanparty..must b there to c n meet others forumer..date not cmfirm yet?

kuchingfight: hrmm.... better if you find another member to partner with you. it's simple, 1 tweaker 1 taking care of the setup. 2 in a team is always better. but if you want to do it alone i guess no problem also. one very useful tips, oc compy = chasing time. 2 is always better than 1. team with mcfc. hehe... and remember your team name.

mcfc: member punya pasal, you cannot come if you are not joining. lol

yeap Sanko, i've got some partners in mind already. Btw possible Aircooling is in a different category than WC?

Wuhuhu..... I can't join as I'm in Kuching...

BTW, what is the meaning of this "To ensure the competition is fair and square, we try to provide all the hardwares necessary for the challenge. Participants only need to bring their cooling gadgets"?

You mean, you provide the rig while participants only bring their CPU heatsink?

kuchingfight: we will try our best. let's see how is the outcome of the participants list 1st. btw, your from sitiawan? Ayer Tawar guy here. lol

kmarc: yes.... everything will be provided. so that everyone will be clocking the same hardwares. so it's totally up to the luck which hardware you draft. some gems some not. luck do counts. that is what we are trying to do, nothing is final yet though. all depends on sponsers.

This post has been edited by Sanko: Aug 1 2007, 04:32 PM

yeap from sitiawan, and there's 1 of the overclockers is from sitiawan too. * HINT HINT *

Oh yeah, kinda missed the 1st AMD Athlon Overclocking competition @ midvalley some 5years ago..it's good that something is back now.

This post has been edited by kucingfight: Aug 1 2007, 04:46 PM

That's a great concept!! Hope there's a lot of participants and sponsors. So winner can take back their own heatsink and the OC rig too aaa??

Eh? I always assume you're from kuching seeing that you like to fight for Kuching people!

eh, old system can join aaaa

i'm in....it's been some time since i last join any OC comp.

I'm from Penang and still a student how to go there

why all the pc hardwares things never take part in Penang?

i wish i can go there and take part....

relax la brother, it's jus rm54 bus ride to and fro..

The category can between Intel and AMD? Is the processor will be provided?

Yup.

@TS, you better state it clearly that the OC rig WILL BE PROVIDED (but cannot take back! )!

As for Extreme Cooling Category, beside dry ice is provided, how about others insulation materials? Liquid electrical tape, dielectrical greaser, degreaser, insulation foam etc. I assume we have to bring out own pot as well right?

Most probably, you'll hafta bring your own. Liquid electrical tape? or u meant brush-on electrical tape. Another alternative is using nail varnish. Dun think you'll need degreaser. But a bottle of varnish remover will be helpful. Insulation, you'll need neoprene, foam tape and cork tape.

Yea, but wanna know if those stuff are provided or not.

Asked arj, the surrounding can use nail polisher, as that's the only alternative me and tAmp0i have since we can get any dielectric greaser here, and KLIA rejected our package to be delivered from KL to Miri. The thing is arj mentioned the CPU socket have to use dielectric grease, is that a must?

Sorry, this shouldn't be a discussion thread.

I always use nail varnish...coz lacquer very troublesome and brush-on electrical tape hard to come by here. on the socket, dielectric grease or silicon grease is a must as u dun want condensation on the under side of the CPU unless you can make sure its 100% air-tight.

no problem man. more helper means more power!

parts will be provided, except cooling devices and tweaking tools.

wah... must attend this one... but as an audience onli laa...

§layerXT: it really depends, as for now we are only doing interest gauge. if there are not much ppl joining, might atself call it off. but i guess we can only pick 1, either intel or amd. i don't think both of them wants to be together as sponsers.

kmarc: as i said earlier, nothing i final yet. i will try our best to provide everything so that he oc compy will be fair. everyone clocking the same system. if you want to take it back, that's definately ok if you pay for it.

Hyde`fK: yeap, you are correct. only Dry Ice provided (not final yet). others will be taken care by participants. whether if you need to pay if you burnt the hardware, it's still a question mark.

This post has been edited by Sanko: Aug 1 2007, 11:24 PM

hehe..can join as working commitee ar?.. interested in OC but havent reach the level of competition..so go there learn learn lor.

ciohbu: Thanks really appreciate it. we will inform you once the full committee is up.

hehe..welcome welcome...really hope can work with all the top guns in malaysia..
*remember to inform me ya..hahaha.

anyways..hope this event will come true~

no one reply , it's ok la... but i think i'll attend as a amatuer photographer

sniper69: i didn't know you are asking question. if you read carefully, we try to provide the oc rig. therefore high/mid/low doesn't matter. everyone will be using the same

hey guys..show ur interest..this might help us in making it to be true

hey guys! if u guys can do it. i'll do my best to make it down for BOTH days support u guys!

first post here!

haha..good to see u here bro..the champion

haha thanks bro. now just looking around!

, air cooling... sounds good, i think i have to find another guys la like this... ...

ya..i think air cooling gonna be a interesting part...all the different manufacturer gonna grab this chance to prove their heatsink is one of the best...

haha Dry Ice sounds good! can test my new gpu pot from Poland!

NightRaven: first of all, welcome. nice to see you here even we haven't officially contant vr-zoners. let's just hope that we can successfully organise this event. with Singapore Asus OverClocking Champion shown interest, that will definately boost the compy status. lol

sniper69: sure sure, waiting for your answer. so far interest list is not promising. we need more then only sponser will come in. the more ppl joining it shows that the event is a good for marketing purposes.

Should be a very fun event..
Anyway i would like join but as a team up with extremeocer hehe
Participants can join both category?

Think can only choose one cat....either air or DI

kerryking and extremeocer: hrmm... for the category wise, it's still undecided, if the compy is 2 days, then day 1 will be air/water category. then day 2 will be DICE. the way of this compy is very similar to the recently concluded Singapore Asus Championship to be honest. if the categories is being separatly contest, then can join both. you got me? my english sucks. lol

This post has been edited by Sanko: Aug 2 2007, 12:10 PM

haha but anyway guys. try to start getting good sponsors and all now yea start to impose a limit of participants like 20 team or something.

then must help overseas peeps check out where to stay or something

NightRaven: sure, if this is really opened to foreigner, we would definately get accomodation for you all. but if we couldn't get 10-15 teams from Lowyat.NET, then we might drop this planning. it's all depend on them now. and one more thing, i hope with such early announcement, Lowyat.NET forumers will equip themselves with tweaking skills so that we can put up a fight with foreigners. i hope that K.O.C can handle everything accordingly. i can't help much as currently i'm in singapore. lol

This post has been edited by Sanko: Aug 2 2007, 12:27 PM

i got confidence in u and lowyat man! Team K.O.C also! i know u guys can make it fly

This compy gives good reputation to lowyat too. Make it happen. We are all here to give full support.

I am confident this will success. Hope this comp will be held around November-December so more time of preparation and more ppl will participate .

Can an OCer modify the boards that he is given?

And is IHS slicing a valid technique?

Come to Malay and beeing humiliated by u guys

It's already under discussion now & hopefully can join u guys!

looks very very fun indeed... i'll fly there to see...

nice... Sanko... we will discuss about this, and hope we can join.

hey i would love to see Team Indo again! nice fellas! thanks for the dielectic grease again! Team Indo very gracious and generous great guys!

Not only Team Indo, all others from the Asus compy should be here too.

I've got to find a replacement for my Anabond. might not be good for DI.

extremeocer and §layerXT: thanks, just hope for the best. btw, we really hope that Lowyat would be the main forum organising this compy. to be honest, 1 foreign forum is willing to assist K.O.C full force to organise this event. so in the end of the day, it might be something like XtremeSystems Malaysia OC Competition, for example. leaving Lowyat behind. that's what we are trying to avoid. but it really depends.

empire23: this will be confirm in future. we definately hope that participants can modify anything to push to the limit. especially voltage modding. however, the percentage of a fried hardware is higher after modding. it's all depend on the sponsers.

tagteam and Lodewijk: walao... still kidding with us. Team Indonesia reputation has leap to a higher level after the Singapore Championship where we, Lowyat.NET oc-er has much homework to do in order to be on par with you all. just wait for our official invitation. we will definately like Indonesia be part of the compy if it's possible.

i agree that lowyat got to be on the front line for this event. Plus point to reputation. If possible, why not makeit a 2 day event OC cum BYOC lanparty...48hrs lanparty compy. Those who last thru the nite will get a prize. ....Sure to be crowd puller.

this will depend on teh hardware providers... maybe we can get ES peryn samples..


haha yeah , friendly guys... and theres a chance that TEAM india will be coming... dunno if u remember them form teh asoc ...


bro this would be taken intoconsideration, but it would be very messy and dificult to manage... and the venue needs to be big enough... adn then tehre are the securitie measures needed to protect teh byoc comsputers, and the venue sponcer might not even let us run 48 hrs straight.. but interesting idea none the less... will be discussed when TEAM KOC meet for meeting.. thx for the idea...

This post has been edited by lolhalol: Aug 3 2007, 10:09 AM

hmmm..i am thinking..mayb we can include few booth for the sponsor to display their high end and ready-to-overclock product..hehe..i think this would add more color to the event as well as we provide a chance for the sponsor to promote their product, after all this is wat they want when they sponsor certain event..

haha yes team India. harshal nice fellas sat opposite us during day 1

extremeocer: true, Lowyat.NET being the front runner of this compy is our top priority. we will be summiting the proposal to the administrator in no time. it's up to them to decide. however, do take note that the foreign forum who intend to support us has already given their nod prior to oral discussion only, no proposal needed.

ciohbu: that's the only way to gain sponsership. the event will benefit sponsers marketing their product. however, it seems the interest rate of participantion is really low. i'll leave it open until september. if there's still no sign of 10 teams interested, then we will drop this event. seems like m'sia overclockers are not ready of oc compy yet.

This post has been edited by Sanko: Aug 3 2007, 02:24 PM

Yeap it's kinda sad to c the low participation interest with the strong organising support and sponsors willing to chip in. Wonder where are the overclockers hiding. Used to be some great overclockers last time around here, eg clawhammer, etc etc.. that era has passed sometime ago

guys support this event lah.. dun worry whether u noob or pro... dun mater. its a great way to make new friends and get experience.... and all u have to do is bring ur cooling contraption, so there is almost no costs involed( providing ur using ur existing cooling stuffS) as u are not required to buy hardware....

guys..i goin for holiday for one weeks starting this weekend..if anything then let me know ya...i will pm my phone number to Sanko

*to sanko..check ur pm..thanz..hehe

Maybe we have to survey who are having free time to participate. Furthermore by the end of the yr could've participate especially who r still student.

Nice event here!Btw,phase change allowed?

Sure can, in extreme overclocker side. Anyway, its up to organizer.

Dun think so, if allowed...i'll bring along my cascade.

kingmaker_20: at the mean time, the answer is NO.

anyway, guys... i have answer lots of questions but still, not much changes for the list. as far as i remember, all the names on the list registered since DAY 1 this thread was opened. how come?

Maybe u should do a bit research about their constraints that make them hardly to participate in this awesome event.

LYN is abit low in OC "temper"
btw, i would layup with Hardwarezone, and ARJ to see whether can heat up anot

wow this is cool....

i might join the event but not joining the competion

This post has been edited by horphi: Aug 7 2007, 06:48 PM

judging from the way it goes, i doubt that this event will ever take place. so far only 3 teams shown interest. anyway, i'll hold up till the 3rd week of august or beginning of september. if there's still no changes then K.O.C will most likely drop this event.

This really disappointing. Come on guys, show us some OC spirit.

Sanko, perhaps showing the prizes might help... But then again, sponsors won't come in unless there is good response.

exactly.... btw why so many just come to watch not join in? hardware is provided..all u need to do is bring ur cooling contraptions... be it air cooling, water chilling, and pots.... and if there is high responce there is no need of an entry fee... so all those that will be spectating...join in the fun... doesnt mater if u lose... there is no last place.......

wow oc competition what ar the time n i hope not clash with my test period lar

Im willing to join...

but have to wait for my Tuniq Tower to arrive

and hope not clashed with my class also

Come on guys ..show some gd support..
a very gd learning experience..

@KOC Team:

No mean to act like a smart as*, but the way we organize some OC event in Indo is like this:

- Try to find a place, time, date, etc
- Try to find a sponsors (u guys must make a proposal about the event to prospective sponsors)
- Try to make a rulez, regulations, etc

After all done, then we will open place for people join

It's really hard in the beginning to organize event like this, but once it goes, I bet many sponsors will try to look after u guys to organize next event!

To be honest, KOC team spirit must have a great applause!

This post has been edited by tagteam: Aug 11 2007, 04:59 PM

tagteam: hehe... thanks for you advice. here is the explanation

actually it's like this, the reason i do a interest gauge is to gain the feed back 1st. this competition is actually meant for local Lowyat.NET forumers. it's not like the Singapore Asus Compy as it's a asean region championship where the focus is for foreigners to take part. the main point is that if there's not much Lowyat.NET members taking part while lots of foreigners are keen to take part, we will drop the event anyway. the main purpose is for malaysian oc-er.

while the sponsers and organisation of the event, i would be quite confident to state here it's 60% final. the proposals are already done but we dare not to approach any parties yet becuase of the respone is like this. that's our way. we dare not to take any risk as we are only a TEAM of OC geeks. not a company or Lowyat.NET admistrator. initial talks with the sponsers indicated that we need to show them the participants crowd 1st. that's why we do a interest gauge 1st. if we state there's estimate of 20 participants from malaysia but in the end only 5-6 teams, then it's too late.

for the Singapore Asus OC Compy, Team K.O.C only had 1 week time to decide whether joining or not without knowning the specs, rules and so on but we still eventually joined, based on our interest and keen to gain experience and knowledge. maybe our approach is not practical here for Malaysian OC-ERs.

Also something to consider, Malaysia is big, so many ppl from elsewhere beside KL will have difficulty finding suitable time to attend such event, like me for example.

if the event is after 4th of december, i sure can join coz after spm liao

Hyde`fK: ya. understood. the only thing we bet is the the interest would actually exceed any other obstacles. like K.O.C, we traveled to Singapore for our 1st competition with all our own financial support. coolice is from penang, me from perak, jeffrey who didn't join us in the compy but finally managed to go for a peek also from perak.

gmail: i'll keep in mind of that. thanks for your interest.

This post has been edited by Sanko: Aug 12 2007, 12:27 AM

actually for ppl outside kl to join, u nid to provide a firm date... so that we can buy air ticket... we like to join but no date how to confirm leh??? need to apply off from work somemore...

bro not to offend u or anything, but to provide that date, we need the interest levels we are hoping for... u dont need to buy an air ticket to say that ur interested.. just say that ur interested and will be happy to join, and we will provide a date as soon as possible...


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

for us <TEAM KOC>, we decided almost last minute... and sacrificed alot of time and canceled alot of our commitments.... its nt about the timing of competitions nor the costs of transportation. its all bout the passion and eagerness to learn and experience, these are traits that many of us are lacking... y all just want to go and be spectator. can always join in... there are no losers...there are oc events to gain experience... and to meet people... then there are those who are scared to join coz of lack of experience or no hardware... there is no need to bring any hardware... at all... just ur cooling contraptions.. and that most of u all probably have,.... doesnt matter if u have a crappy one or a stock cooler... its all bout teh fun....

also what most of us are lacking is a sense of adventure... most of us are more happy in our comfort zones at home being a "screen shot overclocker" ... and many of us are scared to try out exotic methods of cooling, hardware modifications and so on... u might say that its expensive, lets say, to make a dry ice pot, but to tell u the truth that is not true.. only that u need some time to do some digging and u can find materials and the tools u need to make one...

on hardware modifications, alot of u all are scared to try it, not to say that u have to but isn't this what overclocking is all about,... pushing the limit... whats the point to run at speeds that everyone can run at... all this is hurting this forums in a huge way... i cant even remmeber the last time someone other than koc members posted result thats worth posting, or someone trying out vmods, even trying insane but cool , no pun intended , methods of cooling... those that are posting at the moment are guys which lyn is not their primary forums..

to name a few are night raven , extremeocer (both whom are from vr-zone)and all teh guys from team indo ... to name a few local guys who are active are koc members , acecombat, hananoclue, kucingfight, kvmcom, hyde.kf and tampoi . there are more of u guys... i dont need to mention u guys, u know who are salute to u guys and all the guys ive mentioned ....

this lack of teh mentioned traits are really hurting the over clocking communities in Malaysia... come on guys show some initiative, not just post spam like posts of congrats and asking dumb little questions, i know all us are guilty of this but its what u have contributed is what counts.... so start taking the initiative... show the world that Malaysia can also have top class overclockers... then maybe the corporate sponcer's will start coming in... hu knows we could find another kingpin or opb.

basically wahat im saying is that there is a lot of talk but no show...

warm regards

reggie

okok... do cool things down. first of all i would like to apologise to everyone here becuase the way i chose to organise this event. after some thoughts and critiques, i realize that this interest gauge is not practical for Lowyat.NET forumers becuase of work, studies, assignments, etc have to be taken into consideration before showing commitment.

basically this interest gauge has only one purpose. to tell/show us whether this event is really worth to organise or not. worth it = lot's of participants, not worth it = not enuff participants. if since the beginning, the target market is not up to expectation, company usually will drop the event/effort/ect. that's what we are trying to do. a survey 1st before putting all our effort into it.

let us think for one more week and please give us some feedback. advice me a better method. but if still no changes, there for we will drop this event and better concentrating the Penang LanParty AceCombat intend to organise. thank you.

boss its nt ur fault... its what i mention in the post above... teh commitment is not the important thing... just give a post and say that interested but not confirm atleast we have a rough number...

put me in as DRY ICE SUPPLIER can aa??


and possible that i'm gonna join with my own pot.

Liquid nitrogen can??

noted penapis. thanks thanks. nope, no LN2. hehe..

if can get a c2d now to try then might consider to join...

ok ok i'm in as long as i got enuf time to notice for off days... (2 weeks to 1 month earlier is better)... but me alone can ar??? i bring my wc kit along oso... book me 1 slot... tq...

They will provide all those hardwares. U need to bring only cooling device and tools to do hard mod.

bro we are providing al the hardwares... no need to bjuy one....

"........... nowdays a lot of motherboards do not need tto be modified and high voltages can be chosen from the bios, but i think its no fun. it's not only to OC, but to "challenge the limit ", without this , i think people may not trully understand the full value and fun of overclocking and life............"

great guys.. great overclocker ...

This is good stuff. I wish I can still join, lol.

yes you can....the more the merrier. The more people joining, will attract more sponsors. In future wanna organize such OC events also easier.

wow i got my name mentioned. i am indeed honoured!

anyway i'm just a nobody. i just go try and give it my best shot. u never know till u try. we all started out knowing now. i was way worst than team koc for their first oc competition. haha back then i didnt even know anything. i just went to try and feel and experience. n tts where its got me. i didnt win in the first compy. in fact i didnt win much even now at all! winning dosent mean ur the best cuz there's always better. but losing dosent mean ur the worst. it means ur learning something!

haha so come on guys. i think low yat and malaysia can do better than that! if i'm willing to go down from Singapore. i'm sure u guys in malaysia would find it much easier! just check ur costs and come on down. nvm win or lose. thing is experience

if a lot of ppl join and show interest maybe sanko and gang can even talk to some sponsors for goody bags! everyone goes home with something!

oh n guys who never touch the platform b4.. nvm! the last Asus Championship team koc went was ddr3 memory. haha neither i or many of the guys ever touched ddr3! we just go and whack and do our best. u can do it!

bro where got u never win anything... second day champion is what.. lol... haha
yeah what nightraven said is right.. very few of us had ddr3... or even if we had.. the first gen ones were crap... but it was all bout meeting people... if it wasnt for the singapore oc event.. team koc wouldnt have been formed or even we wouldnt be even platyign with dice...also if we didnt go we wouldnt have been able to meet such freindly guys.. and teh top clockers in teh workld..

haha bro when i first started i didnt win anything! haha that was like 3 years go i thinnk when i joined my first compy. and before tt i clocked for 6 years somemore. now just still learning. so come on fellas! we need to make this happen!

come on everyone, this is gonna be a historical event if we manage to organize it..hehe..so come and support ya ~~~..too bad i cant find a partner, if not i would like to join as participant also..
