u saying that the hardware (GPU, RAM) provided was DOA? or they actually burned it up?

I'm not really sure about what's the real case which happened since I'm not there all day long. However, according to coolice and sanko, their graphic card was DOA and they experiencing problem with one faulty RAM and PSU. Anyway, this I'll let them explain when they're back later this week

DOA ??..so bad luck oo? then they didnt request to change it?

Yup, they did changed a few items. If I'm not mistaken GPU, RAM and PSU. Well, again in details and actual situation I'll leave it to them to update

vearn

are those hardwares all been ready on each contestant table?or they pick randomly one?

Agree.Team Japan,USA,Australia definitely not so bad Malaysia,India and HK can score if not bias

if u look at the RAMs they used. it was kingston hyperX.means fail rate tht high.Mobo is confirmed as Asus P5Q3 Deluxe(ddr3),graphic card looks like a GTX 260/280 since from page 2 the cooler tht one of the competitors removed is the reference cooler for GTX series, PSU i dunno which brand but its modular.anyone noes wat PSU they using,blue colour? modular? boycott hyperX since it brings shame to m'sia

FSP 1200watt

may i know where you get this info? => bias procs being given to team China
i would like to know that. Let me know your source, thank you

Lousy organizers!! y got no extra buffer for faulty hardwares?

Lose because Hardware DOA.. wtf.. not fair

got replacement for the 1st time right?

If I'm not mistaken, it was given on the very first day (if not, the second day) they arrived at Hong Kong. They were allowed to play with the hardware in their room. coolice and sanko told me that they could hit 5.2 or 5.3 with dry ice, so actually they got pretty good confident for the competition. sanko in the other way had spend sleepless nights doing overclocking experiment, did you guys noticed his eyes bag?

Well, just that their luck screwed up on the competition day and couldn't provide any result at all.

Luck is an important attribute as well. We can't just make such conclusion that it is biased.

Here's the hardware configuration:

* Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 (QEFW C1-Step)
* ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe rev 1.02g (BIOS : 1103)
* ASUS ENGTX280/HTDP/1G/A (BIOS : 62.00.0E.00.01)
* Kingston HyperX DDR3-1800 (KHX14400D3K2/2G K2 1.9V)
* Western Digital VelociRaptor™ 300GB (WD3000GLFS)
* FSP Everest Pro1200W
* Windows XP SP3 (for SuperPI 1.5/XS Mod & 3DMark2001SE)
* Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (for 3DMark Vantage 1.01)
* Intel Chipset Drivers 1.1.15.0
* Forceware 177.41

All contestants are allowed to change each of their hardware once. More than once will be consider disqualified. When they received the hardware earlier, they're suppose to test if their hardware is fine and then sign on an agreement that they received this this this hardware, this this this serial number... in good condition

Again, luck is an important attribute



P/S: I am not a very good overclocker myself. So I only understand partially the terms mentioned by both coolice and sanko. If you all would like to know in details and the actual case, perhaps we wait for them to return from Hong Kong first

All in all, they went there and participated. Even thou couldn't produce any result, yet they've learned something and admitted their defeat. So lets hope the better result to come soon.
