Time for Overclocking sessions...

Place: @ MY HOME
Date: 26thJanuary 2013, SATURDAY
Time:11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Entry Fee:

OC+FOODING =500
ONLY FOODING: 200

Last date of enrolment: 22/01/2013 11:59:59 PM.


What exactly we are going to do: Simple,Bring your System with PSU excluding the display only (although it would be great if you can bring a few though since we are running short) and OC.

This event is a proactive initiative towards increasing the interest towards overclocking and performance computing among the masses. So i would like every one who is interested in overclocking to join us.As of now it will be pure fun as we have no sponsor.


So everybody welcome IN MY HOME (of course with your RIG). Me too participating in OC. Let us make it guys.This time also we will set example for others like "KOLKATA TDF MEET".

A online doc for the purpose where names will be registered by the members is here :

ONLINE GOOGLE DOC

P.S.


  • No Night stay will be allowed.
  • All monetary transactions should be done through NEFT only.(a/c number will be shared shortly)
  • All entries will be allowed after the transactions are realised.
  • Any body coming without system will be allowed food coupons only and no participation can be made in OC.(200/- only)
  • Will try for a prize BUT NO COMMITMENT.(depends on the number of participants)
  • max 20 entries for O.C.will be allowed EXCLUDING ME

Please feel free to write your opinion here.

I can also bring two, even three rigs, only if there is car parking space in front of avichandana20000's house.
And again, I'll finalize it later.

Yes, had an amazing time, thanks to Abhichandana and his family for playing the host, hats off to them.

Pics here, and all of you'll drool like hell, trust me:

All pics taken by my Panny FZ150, unless noted explicitly, f'n amazing cam is all I can say, the bridge ever, period:
Start of the day:

Two of the many rams we used:

Sumon's System:
*i.imgur.com/a0oNvdh.jpg

The beast powering that monstrosity(2500k, 7970/7950 asymmetric C):
*i.imgur.com/QvVtKz6.jpg

Oops, since I set it up, Sumon started hauling for me right away, what does a guy have to do to enjoy a cigarette(for reference, we had 2 boxes of Insignia with us).
*i.imgur.com/uDMMD1G.jpg

Ah yes, the culprit:
*i.imgur.com/XWqPEVD.jpg
Its SVG Tech hydro cooler, let this be a lesson to all of you, do not buy this chip cr@p, damn $hit doesn't have enough power to pump fluid if you set it up like this, absolutely pathetic, its like trying to force a nano on a steep road, just in this case the nano claims to compete with the tata safari(aka the corsair range of hydro coolers). Inexcusable.

All set up(by me:D ):
*i.imgur.com/Qq9dIIt.jpg

Waiting for OS to install:
*i.imgur.com/mf1tQXw.jpg

Cilus gets ready with his system(PS: his 8150 on a crosshair V brought by another guy, a killing combo as you'll soon see):
*i.imgur.com/2Akg9mR.jpg
Canon EOS1100D

Matcboxx cleaning his card, and doing a pretty fine job actually:

Cilus starts:
*i.imgur.com/WtKFeAE.jpg

Matchboxx's PSU, dem damn glow:
*i.imgur.com/H8qHBMP.jpg

Sumon snagged this one(lucky b):
*i.imgur.com/rJggXtb.jpg

Asus 7970 Matrix Platinum running Catzilla bench at 1440P, yes, its a powerful card, f'n powerful I'd say:
*i.imgur.com/CLbu2mq.jpg

Enter Abhi'da, with the grand prize for the competition today:
*i.imgur.com/T2WjqWZ.jpg

Grand Prize(PS: Take that SLR lovers, background blur with my FZ150):
*i.imgur.com/i7sQnX3.jpg

Dem timings(Cilus):
*i.imgur.com/zaqAcx5.jpg

Cilus does it, beats 3960x, dem OC levels, and all this on a stock cooler, yeah, don't piss yourselves:
*i.imgur.com/KLpqVsR.jpg

Sumon cooks up a number as well, 2500k+7970 Matrix Platinum kicks off:
*i.imgur.com/6j96ns2.jpg

Cilus's system, prove that he was running stock cooler:
*i.imgur.com/dvv3z5s.jpg

And we have eyefinity, sorry folks, we lacked a HDMI cable, so couldn't use the third monitor:
*i.imgur.com/RgaZlld.jpg

Sumon, impressed or baffled? I'd say both :p :
*i.imgur.com/feNfWcK.jpg

Running 7970+7950 Asymmetric CF, yes folks, its possible(one more reason to avoid nVidia);
*i.imgur.com/aRvCtZQ.jpg

Dem res:
*i.imgur.com/HLqY7AB.jpg

IDK what this is:
*i.imgur.com/leFlUMr.jpg

7970+7950 about to kick some serious @$$:
*i.imgur.com/jGuq36E.jpg

Crysis 2 hell yeah, note: its stupid, as the crosshair is in the center, no need to point it out, we didn't have a choice and its just a demo, running flawlessly btw:
*i.imgur.com/pQQcnMx.jpg

Another shot:
*i.imgur.com/782Wp4K.jpg

The star of today's show:
*i.imgur.com/4Bxh6pt.jpg

Dem cards, we were planning to throw sumon off the balcony to snag his 7970 matrix platnum :lol: :
*i.imgur.com/sjf3nK1.jpg

O la la:
*i.imgur.com/CwgbzCH.jpg

And the grand prize goes to, Cilus, for achieving 4.9Ghz with a 8150 on stock cooler, also he has lots of knowledge, like a gigaton of it, and we wouldn't give the prize to Sumon anyway, he has a Matrix Platinum already(grr):

THANKS EVERYONE FOR COMING. WE HAD A GREAT FUN AND TROLLING. CLEARED THE CONCEPTS OF SINGLE THREAD AND MULTITHREAD FROM CILUS. SOUMYAJYOTI WANTED TO MARRY HIM FOR HIS KNOWLEDGE . CILUS INDEED IS THE KNOWLEDGE TANK AMONGST US. HE DID THE OC WITH STOCK COOLER AND I AM IMPRESSED FOR THAT. SO NO FIGHT WITH THE PRIZE.

HOPE THIS WILL CONTINUE FOR THE YEARS TO COME AND WITH ALL THE PARTICIPANTS ACROSS THE FORUMS.

Thanks Sumon for Donating me the G-Skill Hyper Pie 1600 MHz CL6 Kit. With the help of Sumon, I was able to reach 2133 MHz CL9 setting with My Bulldozer setup. 2133 MHz CL9 means CL7 latency of a standard 1600 MHz Ram. So big thanks to him.

I think that affectionate lick should make hulk happy :-D

BTW, you guys will be shocked with 1000 Volts when I will disclose what cooling paste or thermal Compound we have used for reaching such OC levels.

After we had started to prepare our open Benchs, we found no one did have a Thermal Compound, not a single bit of it. So me and Tkin started our journey through the Lanes of Garia to get one. After a half an our search we found a great pic of syringe based Cooling Paste, named NCO-01-OC-PF, one of the best packaging we have evr seen. Price, surprisingly these great pastes come at a very cheap rate, Rs 22 per syringe. Yes, you're guessing right, it is the Chinese Chengdu Cooling paste. And Sumon has achieved 4.9 GHz and mine is 4.856 GHz with that Chinese Cooling paste.
I am going to sell of my CM Ice Fusion, Artic Silver MX2, all of them and buy 20 of those Chinese one.
