Wallpaper for bonus round?

July 15, 2018 at 2:37:54 PM GMT

It was posted in the round 5 thread. I see it has now been removed.

I still have it, assuming it has not been changed.

The round began, but there is no Wallpaper. Give us a link please.

[/quote] Why the moderators do not track the beginning of each round and in a timely manner do not create a discussion with a description, a wallpaper, etc. I needed a wallpaper since there was a little LN2 and it was necessary to get basic results.

The admin page went down for some reason and I cant update / edit anything. I hope Frederik will fix this soon.

Quick look at the submissions, all good.

Added the Biostar M6VCG which was Jurin using to the db. In future- please drop a message in support section!

And somehow we have the MSI 694D / MS-6321 duplicated in the db.

Looking forward for next years round.

Thank you Mr.Paco. You wprime 1024 is very efficient. 

For information: I'm checked different cpu combinations on SS and LN2 with boot at 100 and 133 mhz fsb. Checked different windows vertions but none of these combinations work. Only 1 time I managed to get into windows with two 433mhz celerons and 100mhz fsb. I also did a wprime 32 and when I started doing wprime 1024 he freaked at 3000 sec(((( this combination work fine only at divider fsb/pci=2. Need pll modification but i'm not found similar one.

Will the Total result be performed and the final winner will be announced for the sum of all rounds?

Mmmm.........I see a screenshot that's no good, but it doesn't matter. If you're good with it, so am I.

Thanks Mr.Paco, I also could boot dual Mendocino on Abit VP6, but system was not stable at 400MHz and higher clocks (no matter what default CPU Speed).

Interested in this. I could not boot dual Mendocino's at all in my VP6. I'm pretty sure Kotori could not either.

What bios?

August 16, 2018 at 10:10:47 PM GMT

I have some mod at my Cuv4x-d. But not boot mendocino anyway. ))))
