Got to read that again! So 4.5G and PiFast and SPI8M is to bench! Got to read the DAILY complication again! :Dizzy:

So there is a desktop logo? Where do you get that?

New thread's posted.... you bastages better get the os's installed tonight. I'm going to have mine in and tweaked by tomorrow... that'll give you a half day's head start. ;)

background will be had by tomorrow night. that'll give you time to prepare your rigs and os's

I'll be going with either my 920 (most likely) or my 970 (not efficient).... and I'm setting my phaser on "stunning." Look sharp, bitches... daddy's here. :taunt:

nice i think my 920 can do 4.5ghz with ht off....

we need to make a super title for the winnar like...

2010 super oca tournament champ :D
2010 super pifast tweaker tournament champ

if i didn't beat ricks in one comp...this will be tougher...

You guys have to admit this is a super SICK contest! Thanks so much to our generous brothers for making it happen.
:club:
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!!!

+1 You guys are the absolute shit for this compo....

:thumbsup:

OMFG Yeah. Super prize giveaway :)

Damn, I think that even in a case I can peel off some 4.5GHz action :)

question about...

mobo tab and an instance of Real Temp along with your SuperPi 8M or PiFast result.

Might want to specify (not that any of our bros or hoes would cheat, but specifying means efficiency results .01%...) that realtemp should be running through out? So you can see high and low... and all that stuff. Or is it just load up afterwards?

I will start off tomorrow on my ASrock X58 extreme for giggles...kinda interested to see if I can push it. Just want to make sure its a "legal submission"

EDIT: Oh and clarification of ambient? Uh its summer for most of us, and NJ is going through another 95+ heat wave the next few days. AC is mandatory (mandatory for me, not saying the PC needs it), but as long as it is not ducted or placed near the AC unit thats okay yes?

you might not want to do that with me in here.... ;)

Um, I do not get it?

Case is just for tomorrow. Next week I will have ram for my AMD system...(maybe friday if it ships from NJ) The AMD rig goes in the case and the X58 becomes the bench/review rig.

If that was some kind of other joke, I think it belongs in the san fran thread :taunt:

(and TBH I still do not understand it):Dizzy:

"ambient" to us means your standard living environment temperatures. We expect to see temps in the low 30c's and up. We do not want to crowd your processes for SPi especially, so you do NOT have to run real temp thru your test, just before you screenshot.

Also got links up on contest thread for SPi 1.5, PiFast, CPUZ and Real Temp to be used....and who is eligible to compete! GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY BROS!!!

^just always keep your best scores posted bro

This is one mean contest with super awesome prizes from the generous OCA's top hitters...I guess this is one contest for which even buying hardware is worth it, :)

One question here though, I guess we will require a 920/930/950 etc. to win?? coz efficiency wise 980X is a laggard, right??

i just thought it starts monday but the first points wont be untill tuesday right ?

right, you can start submitting tomorrow at 8pm pst. OC will get the wallpaper posted sometime tomorrow.

We wont count who has the fastest submission till tuesday night at 8pm pst


@ banik you were over the limit by .1 points man ;) we let it slide.
980x will be able to rip faster mem speed on a water/air cooler though. Honestly its anyones games, lynnfield, clarkie, bloomfield...etc all have a chance.

No love for AMD *sigh...maybe bulldozer will change that (doubtful)

This is what I will start banging on...never ran a 8M in my life so I have no clue.

i hate you ricks..lol

i never ran 8m in my life also but i tryed it like 20mins ago and let just say you better start tweaking ;)

i hope i can hang in there when its starts

but GL BROS :good:

Still piddeling when I should be in bed. We will see what tm brings Dom...;)


http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/q...1Aug290835.jpg

im about to go to sleep going to work 4-4 but might be doing it all week, so im going to do my best and hope its good enough cuz my 2 kids are not going to let me sleep all moring :(

Dont feel bad Dom I am not capable of hitting anything till 6+ PM EST Monday. That wont be a bench rig that will be my 24/7 system :)

i dont feel bad im going to feel tired if i work 12hrs all week did it once a few weeks back felt like i had no life and the baby is the one they kept waking me up she was hungry the lil piggy :laughing:

but what do you think my 24/7 system is my bench rig ;) im still paying payments on my rig :blush:

well im out need some rest hope all of yall post something so i can see what im up against, i wont do mine untill tuesday like at noon :thumbsup:

So this is an Intel based contest only? I say this as real temp is only for Intel chips. Maybe AMDer's could be allowed to use Overdrive instead or something else? I mean there is no way my AMDer could win in this contest but I would still like the chance too.

We can use a different temp monitoring program for AMD Nip, what would you suggest? The rules say any single proccy, so not Intel only.

CoreTemp often works for AMD.

cpuid hardware monitor works cross platform... Gives more than just cpu temps too... ;)

Coretemp and hwmonitor are popular choices among the AMD crowd. I think I've read that the concensious is a ~15c delta between hwmonitor CPU temps vs actual. So 50c on hwmonitor = 65c real. The problem is with where all the temp sensor is on the boards.

This gets hot quick on the stock cooler...
