Wallpaper for round 4 , my friend
1280x1024
1920x1200
Stage 3 , with Aida64 Memory Read , we'll open soon.
There is a minnor system bug.
Be patient.
a minor system bug ?, according to the page it was supposed to be open 2 days ago
http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/osibs_s4r4
Should be fixed now.
Thanks
We are ready to go.
In fact , Scott is already there
Whoops...
At least it's DIP and not BGA so it can be fixed. ?

Old heatsink nightmare !!!
I've seen that happen before (it can be repaired though).
I always heat as much as i can , before trying to remove old such type of heatsinks.
Do you know if, that was an original manufacturer compound or an aftermarket one ?
I ask cause back in the days we used to make our own compounds , using epoxy in the mix.
i dont know much about it but now you say it tasos, it does look like an epoxy type of mix or is it the green colour thats throwing to look different
I dunno. All that i know, that heatsink shouldn't be glued to GPU, and previous owner was a dumbass.
I successfully removed other memory rad and GPU heatsink, so I don't need to upload nightmares anymore
Let;s see what happening, over or close too 154 fsb
i have already run 156/156 motherboard limit in this socket
Last stage (stage 4) is the key for winning this stage...
I have slightly different heatsinks on my Hercules GF3 Ti 500 but they are glued on as well they not the only thing from that era that had heatsinks glued on with epoxy
Congratulations for all partecipants. Much respect for the results of Tagg at wprime (very strong efficiency) and Macsbeach at 3D Mark 01 (nice vga freq. You provide voltmods?)
Thanks
Can some mod please have a look at round 5, it seems that it has no stages...
Thanks.☺️
I might have pictures if not I will scrape the Let off the controller IC tomorrow and see what it is I done the mods a long time ago the mem mod is with fixed resistors.
I think I originally got them from TPU or Guru3D
Just added stages now, let me know if something isnt right.
Just need backround.
Also, bonus round is open but stages are closed for subs. Need backround for this too.
Where is the topic of discussion for round 5 ?
Watching football ?
I'm tired of waiting to insert here Wallpaper once asked.
1280х1024 5 round
1920x1200 5 round
1280x1024 Bonus round
1920x1200 Bonus round
I can take a wild guess , that some people may have to work too many hours sometimes , to provide to their families ?
No time for football.
