Like with the Abit compo, I wish participants didn't have to be part of a team, but there aren't many people in my boat

Only just noticed this compo. Sam prodded me. Cynical Kenny wonders if this explains some of the PMs i've had over the last couple days.....


I think I know which cards will win.....and with what mods.................

I'm out, I don't have any CPUs.



edit: Do HWB hope to have the 3DMark06 submission problem fixed so competition scores aren't screwed with?

epower changes everything. the other 8800s that have lackluster vrms could probably clock 1200mhz with the epower.

@k404: I have my own batch of 8800's I plan to jump in with, and didn't know about this comp when I pm'd you.

I was starting work today, but had moisture problems... letting things dry out, and I am hoping the CPU lives at least. The mobo would be easily replaced, if the chip is dead then I am out.

Finally a comp I can feel good about entering I have two 8800 GTX cards here all modded up just waiting for the LN2 containers. w00t!

2nd dead chip in less that a month? That would not be good.

3rd times the charm they say, I need to kill something else before Ivy Bridge comes out... You know, get it out of my system.

8.23GHz 8120 - dead
5.76 2600K/P67A-GD65 - unknown (letting the mobo dry out, not sure what all is dead yet)
Next chip - doomed
