Damn wow!! Thank you very much Gigabyte and TE. :hap2:

Someone please lend/sponsor me some h/w for this and also teach me how to OC.

No rules with regard to the cooling? As in only air like the previous time?



So the genius who uses LN2 wins. Nothing related to optimising the results then. ):

Go guys go.. We'll support you..

Yes, burn your money we will support you

damm I can't participate I'm running on AMD

^^



This is what you call height of over expectations.

Gigabyte has never had any such restriction of only air AFAIK.



BUT



these online competitions for GOOC2010 are going on/done already in 10 other countries at the least and none of them had mobo limitation of only Gigabyte, so that is pretty sad...





Edit : It would also have been good if the rules would have been shown to Harshal, the rules pasted on the thread are Hwbot 3d benchmark rules....not to nitpick but



* All submissions must be accompanied by a screenshot as well as a link to a valid hwbot submission. (Results submitted before 00:00 but not yet checked on Hwbot will be given time to get validated). (hwbot doesnt have any sort of validation)

* Wireframe hacks: any software or driver causing a benchmark program not (properly) render the textures or calculate the numbers.(useless hack for 2d benchmarks

damn my exams are starting from 19 april...

hey, somebody lend me some liquid Nitrogen, an expensive motherboard to fry and an insanely expensive processor.

... And while you're at it, could you set up the rig for me ?

It seems they have a cylinder for anyone who wants to refill LN. Check the 2009 event pics.

Why do you respond like some jerk? You could have avoided this statement and said the rest. Show off your skills on this event rather!



I mentioned only air since that reminded me of THL's contest and GOOC did not click me.

Best of Luck to all the participants

So you accept that your comment was out of place, some1 pointing out your out of place comment is a jerk???

(hwbot doesnt have any sort of validation)

+1

SuperPi generates a checksum that can then be validated.

Wasn't aware of the "gigabyte mobo. only!" rule not applying for other countries. Why is this so?

Availability during qualification is what his/their query is i think.

@jugaad1

Your post annoyed me a bit but one look at your username and all is forgiven. XD



OT:-

Here's the UK 2010 qualifier(follow link for more pictures) :- http://www.benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=6324



^Do not try this at home! ^^

All the best to all who participate.

If Gigabyte is sponsoring the #1 winner's trip to the GOOC regional finals, apart from the other prizes, the least they can expect that participants use only Gigabyte mobos.

I would have done the same- nothing wrong with that imho.

You think Gigabyte will provide Asus mobos to participants at the GOOC finals or AOCC will have Gigabyte mobos?



In hindsight, they may also be doing damage control for the participants.

How you ask?

Well, if someone fooks up their mobo at home, there is atleast hope of getting it rmaed as the local Gigabyte ASS has been quite good till date- touchwood.

Now think of some other mobo and having to approach, Rashi, Tirupati, Top Notch, etc for rma.



All the best to Amey sir, Apollyon sir, Shripad sir, Banik, Toolius(?), Roboghost(?). :hap2:

Can't recollect any more names at the moment.

Don't think I would be participating thanks to work and some other project that is going on which takes up a lot of my time



Best Of Luck once again Banik,Shripad,Harshal and all others who would be participating
