Overclocking compo!

Need to sort the dates out in first post, 16th April repeated.

I'm looking forward to this - although as I'm going to be in Cambridge during that period, I best go with Air cooling :rolleyes:

Fixed :) YGPM too
 
Ah, excellent! Most appreciated here :)

My payment should have cleared by now, let me know if there's any problems, cheers :)
 
Hrm, been having a play with a spare card this weekend, interesting (and somewhat expected results)

Cards are stupidly memory limited. 75mhz core increase nets almost no increase. 50mhz memory gave an extra 2,000 in 01!

Mounting any 3rd party cooling to these cards is a pain in the ass too. Took a custom hold down for the vapo to clear the caps to the left of the core.

The mounting holes are also very close together. Shouldnt be an issue for those wanting to water the cards (afaik Persivore got a maze4 GPU on one without any problems)

One thing for those planning on phasing the GPU, (or in fact water/air might benefit this too) is using an IHS on the GPU. The contact patch is tiny, and with the difficulty in mounting a cooler the larger surface area is welcome!

Single layer on armaflex is about right clearance wise using an upturned A64 IHS, contact with the core was good.
 
You can start submitted stock benchies from today.

ORB compares and screenshots (with CPU-z and Pi for the 3dmarks please, it won't be possible with AM3 however but the CPU score will be sufficient validation there)

Remember, stock GFX (use driver default settings) and overclocked system. We're looking for CPU-z and Pi shots which show the same (or very similar) times between the "stock gfx" and "overclocked" GFX submissions.

Either post the links/screenies in this thread, or drop me a PM with links. All the screenshots will be uploaded to a single point, so anyone is free to scan through them.

If anyone needs hosting for images, drop me a PM will setup an FTP account for you. Likewise if theres any issues with ORB compares just shout.

I'd ask people to add a link to a sponsor in their ORB compares too, if you link the sponsor of the category you're in that'd be great. Just as a thankyou to them for putting up some awsome prizes.

If anyone cant make the 7 day window, please let me know ASAP.
 
HI mate, can you change me to just air cooling? Had a few problems of late so cant get the waterkit in time

===================================================

I've got results from Persivore sat on my PC at the moment too, and confirmation of more on the way from Johnny Bravo.

Please note, the phase group has been extended until 10pm on Monday. I was informed during the first week of benchies that Boardy and Thickbrit would be unable to get results due to a leak in one of their units (I have PM's to back this up if anyone wants to see). Since there are no other results (bar my own) submitted in the category I don't believe they have an unfair advantage.

Also note Other categories (air and water) now close at MIDNIGHT any results posted or emailed to me after then will not be included in the final results.

No more official results from now. Any results recieved will be added to the spreadsheet but WON'T count in the official rankings. You're benching for fun now!

The total score in the far right is used for ranking. Those entrants marked in Blue are not officialy "counted" in overall ranks.

Due to no entrants being present in the "other" category the 1st and 2nd place prizes will goto the Air category where there are a sufficent number of entrants.

Same goes for water, only 1 entrant so 2nd place prizes goto air.

So, results as follows:

Air

1st - Johnny Bravo -- 19.0. 7800GS from bit-tech

2nd - Sam666 -- 18.4. Watercooling gear from coolercases and EPUK

3rd - Goreblast -- 15.33 -- 1 year hosting package

4th - Tank_Rider - 14.6 -- 1 year hosting package

5th - Mackerel -- 11.7 -- 1 year hosting pacakge

6th - Jimwah - 11.0

7th - Don_vercetti - 10.9

Water

1st - Persivore -- 16.0 - X1800XL AIW from ATI

Can the prize winners drop me a PM with their details please.

For those interested, the forumla used for scoring was as follows:

((2*(Core_increase)+ mem_increase)*10)+(% increase in score)/1000

The complete spreadsheet with all results/clocks is available on request.

Would like to thank everyone for competing in the comp, hope everyones enjoyed the benching and had a laugh along the way. Also want to give a big thanks to those who have sponsored us cheers guys, much appreciated.

If anyones got any questions please let me know.

Links to the other threads are posted below if anyones interested.
