December of Preparation - Bring the Noise
 
Better bring your A game to MOA boiyze :thumbsup: or you will get steam rolled :cool3:

Patch 12-03-2010 08:52 AM

Gotz to tell you this will be a busy month full of non-benching fun, but MOA prep will be ongoing.

That said, no month can go by benchless. I got an 8800 GT incoming to bring me closer to catching you. ;)

...and I'm sending back the dead PSU today.....hope to finally score some WR boints this month with tri-SL......or even quad-SLI if I can ever get my hands on an expander.....

Splave 12-03-2010 09:33 AM

7800gtx SLI locked and loaded :) testing LOD settings as we speak for 01 action.

OC Maximus 12-03-2010 11:10 AM

Waiting on the mail...................... Have a cooler full of DICE just in case something shows up in the mail today or tomorrow, lol.

OCM :thumbsup:

I beg to differ. Modding and freezing stuff changes the game. Stuff dies. Stuff doesn't work. You spend a lot of time and money to get nowhere sometimes. The rewards are great when things click, but the risk is higher.

Since the MOA pre-qualifier started and I got a gaggle of 580's I've gone through $700 in LN2 costs alone. Spent a lot of money on hardware, gotten very little sleep, killed more stuff than I have in the last year combined.

Sometimes you spend months chasing the pie in the sky and never get it. But it's oh so sweet when you do.

That's why I just picked up an 8800 GT. Thinking aobut just putting the 980 on phase and benching the card unmodded on air for some relaxing low-key hardware bointage.

.......who am I kidding. That card will end up modded,frozen, and dead before I get any boints at all.....just like my last 8800 GT. :blush:

I meant I suck because I still have no money. Hoping o Saint Nic drops a wad of cash under my tree this year. Daddy needs some new toys or at least a new 1156 mobo as mine is limited to 223 BCLK and under. That won't get me anywhere. Maybe it will on my 655k but that is iffy as it is a POS mobo. So my 1156 chase is grounded until I score another mobo. That leaves me with my 8ghz chase. Have plenty of chips there as well as a great mobo but that won't net me much more boints. It's alright as I'm use to being the OCA cheerleader, rofl. I ain't tripping though as one day I'll be back in the game.

Hondacity 12-03-2010 06:52 PM

kpc contest + 8800 gt = win sauce? :D

...psc..i had a nightmare clocking that...lol

DrNip 12-04-2010 02:06 AM

Hey I would be able to compete in that as I have two 8800 GT's available for me to clock. Won't be able to freeze them but a least I could compete! :D

Splave 12-04-2010 06:36 AM

sounds good nip but you can only use 1 at a time rofl!

Patchie with the backup jujitsu

DrNip 12-04-2010 02:10 PM

Not true, not true.


Gratz to Rom and Dent for crushing my Vantage backup score. :thumbsup:

DrNip 12-04-2010 02:31 PM

I would be Core i5 with 8800 gt on air, no way I could compete with you guys 980x and 8800 gt's on LN2. I would still try though.

OC Maximus 12-04-2010 02:33 PM

Should have an 8800gtx here soon paired up with a 875K on dice. Gonna be fun ;)

Nice! Wait did you bench that Barton on? I have two of them but only a POS EVGA 590 to bench with.

ocgmj 12-06-2010 09:25 AM

MB Brand : Abit
MB Model : NF7-S/NF7 (nVidia-nForce2)

Witchdoctor 12-06-2010 09:33 AM

DOM 12-06-2010 10:07 AM

Which model of Abit? Nevermind, I see it over at the bot. Not to mention the chips I have laying around are 5200's not 2500's!!! LOL I use to have a Barton 2500 way back in the day with one of these Abit mobos.

crio 12-06-2010 10:59 AM

Abit NF7-s

Neuromancer 12-06-2010 03:28 PM

Good board that. Some modded BIOSes floating around too IIRC. Not sure what they are for, when I was interested i nthat board they were too 'spensive for me.
