damian Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Did a quick run at 4Ghz me too: I will submit it in the socket 775 OC competition... But what do you think finally ? Should I subscribe ? wow nice overclock their Smith, what are you running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) The monster or above average systems cannot play in the "E Class" Do I'm counting into the "above average" class with an E6750 and a 8800GT ? Since I have only one GPU I thought I would be in the E class... wow nice overclock their Smith, what are you running? -P35-DS3R -E6750 -8800GT -2x1Gb Corsair Xms2 PC2-6400 -OCZ StealthXtream 600W -Xigmatek HDT-S1283, but will go WC for the competition Need to have all the luck on my side. -The whole on a custom tech station Edited July 13, 2008 by The Smith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
road-runner Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Is there going to be a private area for here at OCC for the contestants this time or is it going to be in the enemy's back yard again? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I just did a minor overclock on my P5E-VM it's real finicky about OC'n in that it forgets to post....I mean it just shuts off when the F10 button is hit (fail safe I think?) and I have to power cycle the PSU to get it to boot but it always does... does it more so on voltages and ram mhz setting... but I did boot very easily at these settings.... 350x10 (3500mhz) fsb strap 266 Dram setting ddr1051 (CPU-Z shows 526mhz) CPU vcore 1.475v (bios and windows shows 1.4v) Voltage damper enabled clock over charging mode 0.7v NB volts 1.45v (1st time I changed it from auto) I can say it boot nice and loaded pretty quick....and the rig didnt feel like it was struggling to survive....not that it is any how...but it felt a bit snappier... and the weird thing was the PSU didnt seem to feel as hot at that setting as it did at lower clocks on auto...? I ran Super Pi 1M only and got 14.453sec with 30processes running... A fresh install on a new drive might make those numbers less...I would say? but anywho...not as good as I thought but not all that bad either...I am sure there is more in it but I didnt check any stability just booted and ran...lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
politbureau Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Hi Guy'sRaymo from TRP checking in... All systems are valuable and needed in all classes.... Example: The monster or above average systems cannot play in the "E Class" That class is designed for lower tech so everyone can play and be competitive All classes are staggered by performance What class does a Dell XPS 420 with a GX2 fall into? I have access to a phase cooled 5GHz Wolfdale on a 790i with Dominator DDR3 @ 1200 (2400) and GTX 280 SLI. This system is not mine but def available if interested.

jammin Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Note that the Class requirements (here if you haven't read them) are maximum limits, so you can play whatever system you want in whatever class, providing it doesn't exceed the maximums. So a Dual Core with a Single graphics card can play all the way down into the E class for example (providing it's only on Air or Water cooling) The Dell XPS 420 above could play all the way down to the D Class, with its 2 GPU limit (again only Air or Water cooling). Both systems could play in the Ultra Xtreme class if they wanted to, but it would silly if there were better rigs on the team which could fill those positions. That's how I understand it works, though I'll make sure I have anything clarified with Ray before we get down to business. Please take the time to ask any questions about the rules. Having to explain them is good for your understanding, as well as mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taowulf Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 The rules seem fine to me, when will we establish the OCC teams? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Ok I know it says no upgrades in the rules after the prelim date. Does that refer only to hardware, cpu, mobo, VGA, etc or does it also refer to say upgrading my HSF? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cirro Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 woo go occ!, if i ever had been a part of a forum community like this i would of saved up and made some upgrades & helped next year i guess :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that refer only to hardware, cpu, mobo, VGA, etc or does it also refer to say upgrading my HSF? As far as I know, upgrades only applies to the things that really make a difference to scores, so basically just the CPU and Video cards. I believe mobo and RAM changes are fine, but I'll make sure this is clarified before we start. Cooling is definitely allowed to change, as long as it remains within the limits of the class you are competing in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
