MSI European Overclocking Challenge 2008 ~ Report from the OC Field
 

Overclocking is in, overclocking is hot! At least, that´s what these last few months are telling us. In the contrary to the previous years of overclocking, in which it was a big taboo for many manufacturers, many top notch brands are deciding to support the overclocking community. We took a trip to Amsterdam, where MSI held its first European Overclocking Challenge and due to some unforeseen circumstances, our editor even participated himself. Read out full report, coming to you straight from between the OC trenches

where do you see this typo ? :/

There were A4 printed papers on the desk of the overclockers with the name+flag of the website/country. The Belgian team had 'www.madsChrimps'.

Check the little picture in the header.

Saturday, we bench with the first MB at 620*9 for SuperPi,9*600 for Cinebench... In middle of the the day we ask for our second CPU, but that which we took it was very bad! 575in ln2 :'(
At the last of the day, one wanted test 3DMark05 @ 9*550, BOSD at the end of 1st bench :( and after impossible to reboot... We kill the motherboard...

Sunday :
We arrived at 10h, Pt1t vmod the new motherboard, isolation and assembling take 2h because we had some problems with vcore :(
At 12h we begun the benchmark, and bad news the motherboard it was very bad!! max 615 for superpi @ 2,05v vcore. For the rest of benchmark we can't improve our scores...

At final, we finished 7th... no far of the podium...
