HardwareZone Iron Tech 2008: Malaysia Semi-Finals Round
The Sandbox Mode Challenge - Phase 2
The Sandbox Mode Challenge - Phase 2
In the 'sandbox' (second) phase of the tournament, each participant was required to install x86 (32-bit) Windows Vista (Ultimate, Business, Home Premium or Home Basic at their discretion), together with the required drivers and choice of benchmarks and tools to begin overclocking and find their sweet spot for the final (third) phase.
While the initial time limit was an hour, the country competition manager granted participants a 45-minute extension, due to popular demand of more tweaking time. By the time the final extension was given, everyone was almost ready for the grueling phase that was coming up - benchmarking! In this sandbox mode, lolhalol (Reggie) once again took top spot with 1 hour 39 minutes, followed by coolice (Ng Teng Liang) with a narrow margin of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Third place was Looi (Looi Hou Tee) with another close shave at 1 hour and 41 minutes. The others finished by 2 hours.
