NACHO Contest 2011 Discussion thread

Suggestion: This should be advertised on the Neoseeker facebook page. Perhaps even a front page story on the Neo homepage would draw in more people.

I agree and I'll work on getting this done.

Also, would you guys like to invite members from other forums to compete as well? or just do what we did last time and just let people find it. (Everyone would still have to register here of course)

Gravity, i would like to donate a copy of Killzone 3 and Red Faction Guerrilla for the ps3 as prizes if that's okay. I opened the original packaging but never played them and i honestly don't think i'll ever get around to it, so if you want 'em they're yours.

That would be awesome. I'm not sure where Gravity has been, but consider them officially added to the prize pool.

If you wouldn't mind please send a PM to Gravity and Myself stating what your limitations on shipping are. (Would you only be able to ship to the continental US.. ETC)

I know that Shipping a ~6 pound laptop to Russia via Fedex was 28$

Are you serious?

Fricken UPS would charge me more than that to ship a motherboard from Hawaii to Colorado. :lol:

quote Qwark

Player1, if for some reason i can't ship the prize to someone can we make it so that i gift them a game of their choosing from Steam? (just in case)

Of course, on the prize list we'll say, a game courtesy of Qwark. Then we'll be able to work it out with whoever wins it.

Here's a thought.

Prizes in categories:

Most impressive overclock
Best score
Most impressive gpu overclock

quote 10jdrole

I'll just be stuck with software overclocking, I guess :/

quote EdwardTheBard

Actually I meant a "lowest temp" award with regard to one's overclocking

Sure why not.

Check the rules thread for a current list of prizes and what the prizes will go to. It will be updated again today.


Also, we are still looking for cops and judges. PM me
If you are interested.

The rules have been updated, and we still need cops and judges.

That is something I never even thought about.

It's going to be added, thanks iceguy.

Someones gonna win a prize today.

The winner will be randomly selected from the signup thread sometime today.

They will recieve whatever the daily deal is on steam at the time I recieve their steam info.

8 including me, so 7 eligible for prizes. So we have way more prizes than people lol.

SubMission thread hasn't been created yet.

OCC has been invited

Nope your not out, you'll just recieve 0 or that benchmark.

The patch didn't help?

Run as administrator?

EDIT: cant find hyperpi or PCmark05 either

Click submit in hwbot. It will give you a list of benchmarks.

For wprime run 32m

And yes, the defaults.

They want the benchmark showing, the score showing, cpuz processor tab, cpuz memory tab and gpuz.

Wish I could be more helpful. Posting from my phone

Did you se VeGiTAX2s patch?

If this benchmark is to much trouble I'll remove it.

Sure

For verification purposes (actually I forgot what website geekbench scores went to. No one caught the mistake until after scores had been submitted. In order to prevent anyone from having to redo their scores we decided to stick with doing it this way)

Next year if geekbench is still used, the submission process will be supplying a link.

It's not that hard to submit a screenshot.

Nope

Yeah, I should have just said a monitoring program

Nice, what GPU pot was that, or was it home made?

Also still working on the prizes. (Some of them have shipping limitations, which is complicating things a bit)

Oh. It's a K|ngp|n Tek-9 Rev. 3 Slim.

How do you like it? Do you think the performance difference is noticeable compared to the Tek-9 FAT?

quote The Smith

Depends what you're after...

I've got a CPU pot (That's seen very little action due to difficulty purchasing dry ice where I lived), but now that I live next to a store that sells dry ice I figured I'd actually start using it. I was contemplating pairing it with a GPU pot, but haven't been able to convince myself that they are actually worth it. (Partly because of what you just stated, and partly because I've never really cared all that much about GPU overclocking) I figured since you just used one you'd be able to tell me whether or not you thought they were worth it.
