When do you get your hands on the Sabretooth?

Phil Rhodes 10th September 2009, 14:00

"overclcock"?

Man, I can't believe people didn't go - but hey I guess that's what you get when it's a UK BASED ONLY comp. Now if it had been open to the EU, I would be knocking on your door the second you hit 'send'. :)

@ Asus - please invite us next time - we behave!!!!! BTW wasn't it swedes that just won the big M*I Master Overclocking Arena. . . .hmmmmmm

It wasn't UK only - it was open to a selection of EU countries, and we had two overseas winners, from Holland and France.

It really was awesome, maybe it's the alcoholic in me but I wish I had a glass of wine or pint at the lunch.

Omnituens 10th September 2009, 15:09

I BROKE THE BIOS, LOL.

It was a fun day, shame I suck at grid :(

g3n3tiX 10th September 2009, 15:23

Really nice day, the discussions at the pub were really interesting as well !

i5-750 and P7P55D are still in their boxes, sadly, not enough time to put it to its paces, and the main problem being I don't have a compatible case to put them in (not enough PCI bays to be able to put the graphics card in :p)

Nice video/filming as well, I got some nice screen time along with Xtrafresh, with our "extreme custom cooling" idea.

Cool, so it was you on my team :)

It was a really great day. Many thanks guys!

yakyb 10th September 2009, 15:56

I have to say the way i look at the design of a board has really altered since speaking to the guys

kosch 10th September 2009, 17:22

btw has anyone received their copy of custom-pc mag yet?

Rocket_Knight64 10th September 2009, 18:12

The whole thing was brilliant and those that chose not to reply missed out bigtime. It's impossible to heap enough thanks on everyone involved.

Shotgun a spot on the next event. ;)

bradders2125 10th September 2009, 21:22

It was a fantastic day.

Can't wait to be able to enter more competitions like this.

Also I have decided I need a new case or modify mine cos I need to be able to see that P7P55D board, it just looks wow.

Omnituens 10th September 2009, 22:20

awww man, all these people who picked the board and they cant even use it :(

im using it! on stock cooling, but still just managed to have a stable 3.5Ghz overclock with full turbo mode (up to 4.1Ghz). a bit disappointed anything higher, have to disable turbo mode (or get better cooling and use crazy voltages)

really sorry you missed out on the p55 by one place.

i believe the next issue of CPC should be the end of this month, something like 28th.

so, that's Bit-tech/CPC's office record in Grid SF short circuit?

HugoB 10th September 2009, 22:58

1) Was there actually Cheesecake?
2) Who attended from CPC/bit-tech? I spot Clive, Harry and Alex in the pics - anyone else there?
3) Perhaps you want to do a named version of the final pic? I'm sure some people would like to know who's who. (Forum names I mean, not AFK names;))

EDIT: Also, Kudos to whoever edited that video - looks surprisingly professional!

bradders2125 10th September 2009, 23:01

@HugoB If you look Here you will see actual cheescake, of the mango variety.

stoff3r 11th September 2009, 02:13

I am truly sorry I couldn't make it! This looks like a first class event and great fun.

Splynncryth 11th September 2009, 08:38

I'm curious about the Q&A, were any notes taken and posted somewhere?
One comment that caught my attention was the idea of BIOS sharing overclocking settings, it's pretty close to my day job :)

I don't think it's an unreasonable request, at least not if you have a way to talk to a NIC and an IP stack from the BIOS. So either talk to a microcontroller that has this stuff, or use a 'BIOS' that has these things.

Jamie 11th September 2009, 21:20

I was there for about 5 minutes.
