Gigabyte Spain doesn't know nothing about Portugal Championship. Sorry.

[jugeen]

unfortunately OCTH won't go to european final. we we unlucky with intel cpu. we were passed +2.5 seconds at spi 8m. however we won 3dm06.

[Oliver]

sorry to hear bro :( ... thats the part in competition . when you not bin to the it or have clock limitations , eg. the aocm #2 forum competition ...

keep pushing it and beg up

[K404]

There is no justice :( But...100% no disrespect to the winners in your local heat.

hey...surprises are good for us sometimes...keeps us on our toes.

Maybe Benchtec will screw up the UK round :p

[Massman]

Who's coming from Hungary?

[Achill3uS]

Who's coming from Hungary?

another team called 'Hun EXtreme OC Team'. basically they are quite new on the subzero ocing field. have 3 members, are about 1 year ago together, already tested few times with ln2, the most on dice. they are not registered on hwbot or any international sites.

here is the review of the biggest hungarian hw site about the QC event (translated link): Past the first round of the GO OC 2009 (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fprohardver.hu%2Fhir%2Flezajlott_a_g o_oc_2009_elso_forduloja.html&sl=hu&tl=en)

[Massman]

Not on hwbot? Blasphemy! :p

[Dsjjang]

I heard what cpu was so bad~
don't mind, OCTH bros~
it was only unlucky at that time~

[Predator]

[K404]

Jabski and me are representing Benchtec for the UK qualifier, which is this Thursday.

There will be pics and videos :D

You got luck... UK qualification is far from me ;) I'm too lazy to travel across the county :D

[K404]

Shame, would have bought you a pint ;)

[jabski]

Kenny its Friday not Thursday ;)

[MrCape]

Is it too late to make a last minute Czech team if my wife is from CZ and we will be there that week?

I don't understand the point of this regional stuff.

[Massman]

Kenny its Friday not Thursday ;)

Kenny wants a head start :ocx0928:

[Oliver]

cant wait Kenny ! go push it

[Predator]

Shame, would have bought you a pint ;)

I could use a pint :ocx09:

[K404]

LOL I got mixed up coz im travelling down thursday :D

Id buy you a pint too abuelo ;)

[Achill3uS]

thanks for your words bro :( life is hard :D

[elmor]

Yesterday we had the the Swedish final with Crotale as the winner. Final results here: http:/www.elmor.se/gooc (http://www.elmor.se/gooc)

[K404]

UK qualifier was on Friday.

Results here:

http://benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=3508

...Benchtec didnt win! Jabski + me had a really crap CPU for the SuperPi section and we were too slow/hungover to swap it out in time.

[MaSell]

4.2GHz, you played with AUTO vcore?!

[K404]

auto? Hell no! Jabski did most of the BIOS work, hes the man to ask. :D

[jabski]

our first cpu was such a bad one it was untrue. Wouldnt bench over 180 bclock. Couldnt get anywhere with it. vcore made no differnce. Second one was alot better but we had already lost the spi round by then. Good to meet the Gigabyte guys that i have been speaking to by email/phone for the last year thou.

[Achill3uS]

guys, there is something what i want to tell you about our regional competiton in hungary. after ive seen the official homepage and ive seen the country attendances filled i cannot keep the truth in private anymore...

it was a big failure in the GOOC 2009 hungarian qualifications scoring method what is not public yet because it would change the placing and the winners. the organiser - gigabyte hungarian office - asked us to keep this topic in private until we are looking for a solution - that was their promise a week ago, and now we have to see this at the official homepage of the event:

http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/4409/goochungary.th.jpg (http://img256.imageshack.us/my.php?image=goochungary.jpg)

you can see the pattern messages about the past oc acheivments and so on. you can look after in hwbot (http://www.hwbot.org/rankings/overclocker/country/hungary), with my deepest respect to the other team at this time we had a friendly relationship and helped them a lot but they didnt own any hungarian benchmark records and not talking about any WRs. this is just a lie.

but lets see the start of the story...

here is the review of the gooc 2009 hungarian live event with pics and results: @ prohardver.hu (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fprohardver.hu%2Fhir%2Flezajlott_a_g o_oc_2009_elso_forduloja.html&sl=hu&tl=en) or @ gamestar.hu (http://translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=hu&u=http%3A%2F%2Fgamestar.hu%2Fgigabyte-go-oc-2009-tuningrendezveny.html&sl=hu&tl=en)

and my previous post here in this topic about it: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3686690&postcount=169

at the event the scores of the two teams was calculated like this way:

SuperPi 8MB
1. HUN eXtreme OC Team - 1' 39,078 sec / worth 12 points
2. OCTeamHungary - 1' 42,375 sec / worth 10 points

3DMark2006 Total
1. OCTeamHungary - 22 442 (http://prohardver.hu/dl/new/2009-02/47901_gooc_07b.jpg) / worth 6 points
2. HUN eXtreme OC Team - 21 746 (http://prohardver.hu/dl/new/2009-02/47901_gooc_08b.jpg) / worth 5 points

Final Score: OCTeamHungary 16 point | Hun eXtreme OC Team 17 points.

so we acknowledge our lose, weird scoring method that 3D result cannot do anything with final score. after one or two week after the sweden (http://www.techsweden.org/artikel/JcPq-gigabyte-gooc-2009/) and french (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3687901&postcount=199) qualification (where was the same rules) we just recognised that some teams got 20+ scores in final, and we was looking like shocked how is this possible? in the a doc file (attached) with the country rules you can see the correct method, but sadly we didnt recognised the failure at the event, nobody does, but in a competition who needs to know it 100%? the jury. until now nobody let us know about changing anything in the rules. so everybody can see it was a mistake by calculated the 3dmark06 score at our event. we got 6 SM3 points for the total 06 score instead of 10 and we just dont got any points after SM3 win category wich worth 6 points!
so we calculated again our scores in the correct way and got this:

SuperPi 8MB
1. HUN eXtreme OC Team - 1' 39,078 sec / worth 12 points
2. OCTeamHungary - 1' 42,375 sec / worth 10 points

3DMark2006 HDR/SM 3.0
1. OCTeamHungary - 9244 / worth 6 points
2. HUN eXtreme OC Team - 8912 / worth 5 points

3DMark2006 Total
1. OCTeamHungary - 22 442 (http://prohardver.hu/dl/new/2009-02/47901_gooc_07b.jpg) / worth 10 points
2. HUN eXtreme OC Team - 21 746 (http://prohardver.hu/dl/new/2009-02/47901_gooc_08b.jpg) / worth 8 points

New Final Score: OCTeamHungary 26 point | Hun eXtreme OC Team 25 points!

i dont ask anybody to do self judgement over anything what happend because it was a regional organisation issue. but this is just not the way to do about solving problems with full respect to the other people. i shared this information with that reason to show the international community the truth what became to a lie in the end, wich is really sad that could be possible. thanks for reading.

yo Bala, sorry to hear about that bro, so what about now? anything came out?, besides that, you seem to feel quite comfortable here you lucky **** xDD

http://prohardver.hu/dl/new/2009-02/47901_gooc_11b.jpg

watching all the contry qualifyings, i realize Spain sucks lol

you all have eye candy scenarios where you can bench at, and at the end, cute girls all around the place, LN2, etc, etc

we have to do our benchs alone, at home, no LN2, no girls, no beers.....(well i had a pair :p )

all that brings problems like "hey, i don't believe you just used wate for those clocks, so you go and record and then upload to youtube" wtf

btw, my "proof"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BX0DalRCDE



dang, this 965 was owned first by master Coolaler and then by master OPB, now that should be bullet proof itself lol

[Oliver]

awesome work Sergio ... and cool vid

Giga organisers are so dumb that they've refused the idea of us, local distributors, organising and hosting the qualifying event for our own money (by their rules), lol

**GIGABYTE

also...

Europe-final, run GTX 260 SLI ( 2 cards ), and can do any mod you want including GTX 260 and motherboard, also LN2 for any components

Super pi 8M ( 100mins), 3dmark 06 ( 100mins),
you can run it seperate or just run one time, ( im sure seperate its better for HDR/SM3.0(thats why i say a tip)...lol) and run a full 3dmark06 for getting overall scores.

between 2 contest, breaking time is 60mins(1hr), you have time to insulate VGA and MB once time for 3Ds. ( you already insulate M/B and pcie area before running super pi , the breaking time just make sure you can take a rest, or remove pot, and check mb insulation for next 3Dmark 06 contest.

also...here is how the final score is calculated

[Achill3uS]

let me do a last post about the hungarain GOOC mistake.
we had a conversation today with gigabyte hungary, and they let us know their decision, that only the other - officially "winner" - team will take part of the GOOC 2009, no changes.
we awfully sorry that we haven't got any response from higher level of Gigabyte for our post, statement. we would really apperciate getting any letter from them. no matter if we didn't go to Prague saying sorry would be more than enough.
case closed. thank you for your support guys!:ocx15:

Thx jugeen! Too bad OCTH can't come, we had fun last year in Amsterdam with Bala and overclocker886...

[Monstru]

Somebody wakes up way too late. A coffe might help.

If I remember corectly, jugeen was also with us in Amsterdam...but maybe I'm too old...

[Massman]

Anyone who figured out the vmods for the Gigabyte GTX260 card?

[DeDaL]

I think it must bee 65nm 216 version reference board.

[jugeen]

Somebody wakes up way too late. A coffe might help.

If I remember corectly, jugeen was also with us in Amsterdam...but maybe I'm too old...

only my spirit was there :ocx2008s37:

[Monstru]

So I am the one who should drink some coffe then :)

[Massman]

I think it must bee 65nm 216 version reference board.

Don't know the reference mods, so I can't judge about that :p.

[DeDaL]

If i dont mistake, 260(65nm) and 280 mods are same. Cant say 100%, cuz dont have this card now.
But vmod for 280 http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,648668/Volt-mod-for-Geforce-GTX-280/News/

Or we can do soft mod via Riva Tuner :ocx2008s37:

[Massman]

Hard mod is easier.

Afaik, it's indeed the same ... now let's figure out OCP/OVP :p

[SeLecT]

Congratz to the winners! Hop you had a lot of fun there! :)

[aggressive54]

Congradulasion for winers :smile:

[Predator]

i don't remember now if we tried that one but i think we did, i shall give it another try since my R2E doesn't want to boot :S

[Monstru]

Maybe you used an old SetFSB, they are working with this ICS since November :)

you guys are right, it worked :)

now, this board is no any close to the stability i had with the R2E, damnit, time to go and buy another board :ocx2008s05:

[matose]

Does anybody knows why they said PhysX Enable? I think the rules remained the same since they planned using 3D Mark Vantage and that's why... Any opinions? :D

[Brian y.]

Anybody here attending the North America regional Finals?

[3oh6]

i'll be there Brian...way under prepared but i will be there competing. does anyone have the basic volt mods for the GPUs we will be using done yet? or at least point me to photos so i can make sure i bring the right VRs. TIA

[Massman]

Same mods as the GTX280

[3oh6]

cool, so these cards we are using have the volterra voltage controller? does that mean software would work too?

[stummerwinter]

Yes, except 260 216 55 nm...

[Brian y.]

i'll be there Brian...way under prepared but i will be there competing. does anyone have the basic volt mods for the GPUs we will be using done yet? or at least point me to photos so i can make sure i bring the right VRs. TIASweet! I'll see you there .:ocx0915:

I was under the impression we were only allowed to use the software they supplied.....although I did see a screenshot of somebody using OCXspiTweaker at one of the comp's.

Do they split everybody up into to teams? If so who handles that?

[3oh6]

i was under the impression that we could only use the software they provide, but cooling and hardware mods were fair game. i am also really foggy about the details on the whole competition and being as busy as i am right up until the morning i fly out, i will virtually be flying blind.

but, if they are the 65nm cards - and all signs are pointing to they are - then riva tuner will be able to adjust core voltage at least. memory will still need to be volt modded, but i also heard we won't have access to backup hardware...which means we will actually have to properly insulate and will have to worry about killing things.

AFAIK, the competition on saturday is what counts and we are just running single GTX 260 but are allowed to cool however we want and volt mod if we want. sunday is just the "freestyle" but i don't know if there is a competition there. i am bringing a couple setups for sunday to play with and get some HWBot golds.

I have seen conflicting stories as some have said hat you get one backup of HW to use but have read ther places you get one shot an that is it.:confused:

yeah i will bringing everything including the kitchensink as far as pots go. I will have already had the insulation precut for the board itself as i am going to try and get some testing time with it before I fly out there. If we are allowed to bring our own hardware for the freestyle event then well......I will definitely have a nice little surprise to play with on Sunday. There are prizes for the freestyle comp IIRC. I just want to take advantage of the free flowing LN2 all day tbh:D

[3oh6]

i honestly don't have a clue what is going on. most of the information i have ascertained is from non-gigabyte individuals. it is partially my fault as i haven't been very active on the information acquisition side of things but the questions i have asked have been woefully answered.

time to fire off another round of e-mails and hope something gets explained relatively clearly.

[@rne]

Are you allowed to bench GTX 260 under cold? If not, you dont need vmem mod. GPU Freq will be your bottle neck, with stock our card did over 1300MHz Ram and it didn't help...

[Predator]

Wish you Jody and Brian best of luck!!

show them how we bench at OCX :ocx44:

[dinos22]

hi guys good luck
i'd love to see jody in Taiwan no offence to anyone else (oh not because i like him but i get to have MACMAC off my back and bring bad luck to someone else hahahahhahah j/k)

hey they did have OCX tweaker on desktop but i have NFI how to use that software :(

Gigabyte will provide software preinstalled on HDD and even dual partitions :D

you have to find out whether you can cool the cards with LN2 cause some comps had air and some had colder

in sydney we only had air for GPUs and we all used that software vmod system from german guys which worked pretty good even though the cards wouldnt take more than 1.24vcore from memory

in terms of backup hardware >>> they will have some backups but put it this way not all contestants will get a chance to do a swapover and most wont need it anyway....to be honest ppl are too eager to change before they give it a decent shot..... i7 is finnicky and sometimes its the settings rather than any parts going bad thats holding you back

[dinos22]

i'll buy you a pint if we make our way to Taiwan :)

it's all down to luck i guess, so if we're lucky enough, i'll tell you in person you look ugliest than the alien xDD (kidding :D) :ocx2008s34::ocx0915: xDD

[3oh6]

thanks Sergio and thanks for the info Dino. hopefully we will get some clearer answers in the next couple of days from Gigabyte directly. i will post anything i find out here.

[dinos22]

whoever makes it make sure you show up in taiwan in time for a 1st June reunion in The Tavern where every year a bunch of western journos and industry ppl meet up every year....bit of a cult following apparently. that place has about 500 million different beers and 200 thousand TVs with different sports channels lol

i was there during our GIgabyte spring break....good fun for sure...but we did drink a bit too much :D

Congratulation's Team Belgium.

[Monstru]

Wow, was this a crazy competition.

Our strategy for the 4th place was very simple....


We starting training really hard in the day before the competition...

http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5278/gooc001.jpg (http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc001.jpg)


http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/2027/gooc002.jpg (http://img26.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc002.jpg)


Then, when the competition started in the morning, we just applied what we have rehearsed a day before...

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9762/gooc003.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc003.jpg)


http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5257/gooc004.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc004.jpg)

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/3623/gooc005.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc005.jpg)


Then, we started testing, but sometimes it was really difficult deciding which of the 3 "Start Benchmark" buttons to push...:D

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/6086/gooc006.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc006.jpg)


Then, seeing that we have many points as Hipro and GPRHellas, we sweet-talked them into giving us the 4th place :D

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/5589/gooc007.jpg (http://img90.imageshack.us/my.php?image=gooc007.jpg)



Now, leaving the joke aside, it was a fantastic event and I was honoured to be there. First of all, my congratulations to Belgium, Poland and Sweeden, you guys really played cool and made the best out of this competition. My congratulations to Hipro and GPRHellas, you guys really did some serious damage with a c**ppy CPU, and you guys really rock!!! Also, cogratulations to all the teams present, just being there means something, and you guys made this event feel like a really great meeting of first class overclockers.

Congratulations for Gigabyte for making this possible, and for their crew for the organization. Our best regards for Intel, Nvidia, Kingston and Enermax for contributing to such a great event. We had a really great time and we thank you all for that!

Last but not least, our thank for everybody on the forum and chat room for the support, your coments on this thread make me wanna go back and push more :D


Our story in this event was very simple. We had a nice CPU (PI8M @ 5050MHz), and me managed to squeeze a decent 8M score. Unfortunately, we had some troubles with the mainboard, and we didn;t manage to tweak that some more. We decided to change it just before starting 3DM 2k6 (we were the guys "just changing the motherboard", and that was a very good decision, but also a late one. We did a back-up score for HDR and 2K6 just after we finished re-assembling the set-up, but it was a little bit to late to get a decent score. Shortly put, we had nice CPU, nice VGA's (-120oC / 900MHz GPU), a fair result in PI8M, and we really sucked in 3DMark 2006 :rofl: :rofl:

I know most of the guys had different types of problems, and I want to tell you guys that luck allways plays a major part in this type of competitions. There are winners here, and they deserve it, but there are no loosers in such an event :up:

I must salute Greece, Russia and Spain, I know they had really crappy CPU's and would have done a very good job with better luck. Maybe this is the same for the others, but them I saw closely. You guy rock anyway. Also, my respect for the Serbian team, you guys put up a very nice SuperPI 8M fight, and it was a pleasure competing with you for the 3rd place most of the time (Poland came in in the end).

What else can I say, beer is good in Prague, we felt extraordinsry, I am waiting for Trouff's final edit, and will put up the photos that we have in 1-2 days. Now I must go prepare for Easter (Orthodox country here).

WE MUST DO THIS AGAIN!!!!!!


LE: And DON'T FORGET THE MOTTO GUYS - WE CAME HERE FOR THE BEER!! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Predator]

you ALL guys rock, i'll writte my "whole point of view" asap, in a couple of days when i reset myself :D

see ya bros :ocx44:

[linky]

Congrats Belgium..

[dinos22]

hey monstu we were chatting in IRC channel about all you guys and were concerned that you guys and Sergio didnt have any results

they you posted a score but it was far off only to have a thumper later....which was good to see...you and poland had similar scores in that sense where you didnt have anything at first, then a slower score and then a nice one....thats very exciting and we were all excited for all the contestants that participated. I wished i could be there but what can you do i guess

Sergio i know how it is man. last year we had really poor luck like you did this event :(. it definitely doesnt reflect on you in any way....as we didnt think it did on us last year

[Isi]

we are updating a chronicle of the event with many pictures. It is not finished yet, only till day 2 morning.

And, yes, Sergio and Dani had bad luck, very bad luck, but it happens.

At least we did some good pictures...

How did things end with Dacosa? He managed to get the next plane?

[ME4ME]

Congrats Massman & Pt1T!
it was very nice to meet all of you guys. I already look forward to the next contest!

@ Massman, Dacosa took his flight as planned. It was Predator who had problems with his eye, and booked a another flight. We took him with us in the taxi to the airfield and there he took his flight. I hope everythins is alright with him now :(

[Isi]

That is not exactly what happened, Dani had to wait till 20:00 to next flight cause when he arrived 1 hour before take off and they didn´t let him check in, he had to go back to the hotel and thanks to Sue from Gigabyte he had a second flight. Sergio took the plane on time, but he had to go to hospital saturday morning due a pain in his eye very strong, but he is fine now. Both are safe at home, with a great headache i supose but fine!

[Massman]

Good to hear!

No, she's thinking that Pt1t needed a haircut!

[Monstru]

Oh c'moon...he just had a haircut before coming there...he said :D:D:D

[Predator]

haha you guys crank me up xD

i just want to say i'm fine and safe at home :) , i had some eye trouble and had to head hospital but it's all ok :)

i have a lot to say, but i'm so tired i'll pospone my comments xD

but i can say one thing, you all guys are great, thank you for everything, and Sue from gigabyte deserves a gold statue :ocx15::ocx15::ocx15:

[Monstru]

But what happened with you guys? Why did you get sick? Was it the airconditioning in the hotel or something else?

[DaCoSa]

thanks Sergio!! you are the man!!!!!!!!!

[matose]

I think Sergio did another bet with the barman :D!

P.S: The airconditioning was awfull because you couldn't turn it off... My ears hurt the entire event...

[Predator]

I think Sergio did another bet with the barman :D!


:ocx0902:


Ok here it goes my own opinion about the event :)

First of all, i'm alright myself, i double checked once i landed Spain, and i had a corneal ulcer, the doctor told me it will retrieve itself and i don't have to worry about, the first day i was in real pain on my eye though :S

Monstru, i don't know what caused it, i don't think it was the air-conditioned, but who knows, maybe that was the cause, i think there were too many blondes hanging around to process for my poor retine xD

btw, i have this for you bro:

You and Matose are really great guys, it was a pleasure to share beers with you :)

I guess he knows what it means haha, i'm really happy about you guys won the competition, congrats and best of luck in Taiwan!! , it was great to meet you guys again and have some fun aswell beers involved xD


@Hicookie, you're crazy and great bro haha, it was definitively such a great surprise for me to meet you in the event, i didn't know you were coming and it was great to meert you :) i apologize to have forced you threating with permanently ban of OCX if you wouldn't drink with us those tequila shots xDDD, we had so much of fun hanging around with you bro ;)

@ the greek team, Hipro5 and Gprhellas, it was such a great pleasure to have met with you, yeah you guys believe me i talked with Hipro a lot xD, now, seriously, it was a great news for me to "bury the axe" with George, as i told him, you have to meet a guy to realize he's a nice person, we had our "things" in forums in the past, but this event served for me to have met 2 great guys as they are

here's a pic of Hipro5, Hicookie and myself talking and laughing while having some beers (of course xD)

I just remember that there is something that I forgot to say - Bala, hey, tosuner_mc, Nero, PPInDaHouse....we missed you bros, as much as we mised our brother Micutzu. I had one beer for each of you (and two for Micutzu, 'cause he is larger) :D
