Starting 7/29/10 - 8/5/10 we will randomly draw a lucky submitter everyday of their choice of an ROG thermos, ROG t-shirt, or ROG mousepad.

Online Tournament Outline:

Overclockers will use SuperPi 1m as the benchmark tool to achieve the fastest SuperPi 1m time. The TOP 2 overclockers to set the fastest time will advance to Round 1 finals and compete at QUAKECON 2010!

Online Tournament rules:

* Participants MUST be registered on the ASUSROG forums to be eligible for any prizes.
* Participant must be registered on HWBOT.org with the same user-name as the registered name on ASUSROG.com
* Participant must upload their submission on to HWbot for validation.
* Participant must post a link of their HWbot submission and insert an image or screen shot of their results in the Round 1 submission thread.
* Participant must take a picture of their ROG or ASUS motherboard and insert it on ROG forums Round 1 submission thread.
* BSWRHS Rules apply. Please refer to the ROG RULE BOOK for more details...
* ONLY SUBMISSIONS POSTED AFTER THE SUBMISSION DATE ON BOTH HWBOT AND THE ROG SUBMISSION THREAD COUNTS. BENCHMARKS SUBMITTED ON HWBOT AND THE ROG SUBMISSION THREAD BEFORE THE SUBMISSION DATE WILL NOT APPLY.
* In the event that there is a TIE, the submission with the lowest CPU speed will win. This result will show the user was capable of tuning their system better.
* Any signs of cheating will be banned for LIFE!

* You MUST have the ASUS ROG Experience Tour wallpaper set as your background when taking your screenshot and submitting it or it will not qualify!!! Wall paper can be downloaded HERE
* You can download SuperPi HERE
* You can download CPU-Z HERE
* Here is a great example of a SuperPi 1M screen shot HERE
* Submit your ROG motherboard benchmark HERE
* Submit your ASUS motherboard benchmark HERE


For more information please read the Terms and Conditions.



hey guys,
just wanted to add that we are aiming to put in about $13k in prizes.
there are 2 teams of 2 that may go to quakecon. 4 in total. each "TEAM" will get to take home the hardware they bench on currently we have:
2x Rampage III Formula
2x Crosshair IV Formula
2x GTX460
2x Intel 980x

This is for EACH TEAM so multiply that by 2
we are also working on getting more prizes in the pool once confirmed
2x SSD
2x Mem kits
2x 1200watt PSU
1x grand prize that is still TBD but well worth over $1000


Each team is roughly getting $6k in hardware that they get to keep plus an all trip expenses paid to the 2011 OC SUMMIT where you can win even MORE prizes.

I wouldn't mind being a sellout. But I'm expensive.......and no-ones ever made a bid.

Don't think I'll have time to actually bench for this, much less spare the time to go compete if I win.

Hey H&R, check out the submission page there. For gits and shiggles, Splig and I posted the same scores....both 6.766s...his with a 655 and mine with the 670. My back-up at this point is a 6.656s. That's the best I could muster out of the Max3Formula this weekend. Gonna keep after it till its done.

Yeah I saw it! I was like WTF? I was abusing the good old E8700 before my mobo and the CPUs roll in today! I got a 655K (new) and a 670 (used but untested) coming my way! I'll have to learn quick as this is the first time I'll play with P55 :thumbsup: I hope one of these chips will be a winner.

Wierd Honda, @ 6.3ghz it should be an easy slide into sub 7 territory. Are you using an SSD or something? sp1M runs much slower on SSD's. Those timings are sick too man at 666.

Did you install the OS with both sticks installed or just one?

HITandRUN

Kal-EL

SAY WHAT? Im on SSDs. How come i never heard of that before? :blink: :eek:

Cuz I just found that out today, I switched out my Intel Super Fast $800 SSD for a Velociraptor and went from a best 12.391s 1m time to a 11.875s 1M time. Same stock tweaked settings. Co-incidence? I think not.

Also, I couldnt do any pcie mhz past 110mhz with the SSD, I can now do up to 118mhz on the pci-e with the velociraptor. My efficiency went way up.

Any other theories why the big difference?

SSDs are slower for 2Ds . Better run 1M and 32M on raptors :D

08-03-2010, 01:56 AM
Kal.. did you disable Disk Indexing on your ssd? Or should i say what tweaks did you do to your ssd? Page file, LSC, etc. I'm interested in this theory and i want to dig a little deeper into it.

Kal-EL
08-03-2010, 02:13 AM
I didn't mess with disk indexing, I did LSC and without, page file on ssd as well. Its pretty much before/after results with exact same settings.

Tried all the usual stuff, batt, power, stick, re-mount, holy water, salt over shoulder.

Actually doods, I am on a 150gb Vrap with a 30gb partition. I didn't use any tweaks except cycling tho. Single channel ram raises my speed, but lowers my score....same as priority and affinity tweaks. gl

Woke up super early to fill the dewar back up, going to ravage my first 655k again tonight (the chip that got my first score) with my new knowledge of what the 655k's like. PM or text me if you want to know.

Cuz I just found that out today, I switched out my Intel Super Fast $800 SSD for a Velociraptor and went from a best 12.391s 1m time to a 11.875s 1M time. Same stock tweaked settings. Co-incidence? I think not.

Also, I couldnt do any pcie mhz past 110mhz with the SSD, I can now do up to 118mhz on the pci-e with the velociraptor. My efficiency went way up.

Any other theories why the big difference?

WTF thats crazy!

Im going to IMG my SSD to the VRaptor and test this for myself :)


I am loving the force OCA is showing in this contest, Keep it up guys!!!!!!! :)

Congratz! Looks like Splavster has his spot in the game! Im still pushing this chip but efficiency is terrible on this thing. :shock:

EDIT: I pushed it all the way to the end but just could not get a nice time out of the set up. However this chip is capable of 1st CPUz. I was close but it crashed so 3rd for now.

Thanks. Yeah, I am real happy about winning the R3G board, I was sure someone would sneak in with a sub at the end.

Congrats to you !! :thumbsup:

Would have been really great for you guys to take both spots.

You got your flight booked? Quakecon is next weekend, I didn't realize it was so soon.

I just found out, I also won a kit of Kingston ram in the EVGA scavenger hunt.

I've had a good couple of weeks.

On top of that stuff, I'm now sitting 2nd in Canada in hwbot ranking and ready to junp into the top 200 in the world.

Also picked up a couple Vantage hw cups.
Gold for 2x 4870X2's and Bronze for 3x 5870's.

Only down side is the P55 Classy died and might have taken the 670 with it.
I had it set up with an air cooler @ stock speed, and I smelled something getting hot. Shut down and checked it over, but couldn't see anything and when I tried to boot, all I got was the fans spinning up, shutting down, and repeating.

I gotta quit running @ stock speeds. It kills HW! :ohcrap:
