Its no biggie. Just hard for me to announce it early since the place I get dice is extremely unreliable.
 
If your doing 06 use the msi mobo and win free stuff, maybe an entry for MOA 2010 :).

That is the idea, but I could care less about the HW prizes, I'm trying to go to my third world championship :rock:....but it's hinging on whether or not I can get the mobo today (the store had one on the used shelf a couple weeks ago, should have picked it up then).

Matt....still not sure about the mobo, but I think I'll be getting started a bit later than planned. I'm going to shoot for 10pm local which is about 12 noon EST on Wednesday the 30th, the session will hopefully run for about 6 hours.

edit - I've decided I might also work with my 480 GTX a bit more with Vantage.

OK Matt....I found the XPower motherboard, so I will be using that. And I'm still planning to start at 12 noon EST :thup:
 
Aight y'all, i'll be benching tomorrow!

That's right, Thursday the 1st.

GPU: 1x Asus 4890 TOP.

Lets see some 03/05/am3 5.6ghz action!:rock:
 
Go x800gto2! Lol (that's my card) :D

VID pads have been ID'd, 1.6vcore tested and works. Then i killed it, removed the mod, resurrected it, and pressed it back into service. I'm going to give it a (further) run for it's money, don't worry :D


It'll get some nice 06 scores for sure, stock volts and 4.6ghz cpu it was knocking on the door of boints.
An extra ghz and MOAR VOLTS should help it a lot :rock:


Gotta do the 4890 first though cause i want to sell it and see if i can get two 8800s or something.


EDIT:
Heeeey AM3! Good call, i'll have to do that, too.
 
There have been technical difficulties getting the stream going, i expect to get it up in the next hour however.

IMOG: Your x800gto2 is about to see action, drivers are installing now :rock:
 
Totally live RIGHT NOW!

I totally was, for another hour and change, then something died.
The ram slots were wet, and the burnt patch seems to have grown. I suspect it's time for a new(er) board :p
