    Crunch the numbers

    So VictorE guessed yesterday's HEXUS.pipeline... let's see how well you all do with this one. Itemise these: First of October, soixante-neuf backing.
    Watch the show.

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    This ones an absolute nose bleed! ok the only relevent numbers i can come up with are 1066 memory speed possibly?

    Not vesa standard? NVIDIA ESA Certified? hmmm not sure. playing with words maybe?

    Then theres the video? I'm gonna have a cheeky pun at the (EVGA Black Pearl, NF780i SLI motherboard) i couldn't help notice the firewire below the ps/2 connectors back panel and try find a possible match, maybe i'm wayyyy off the mark but it was fun searching..

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    looks like a DFi mobo... (gree PCi-e slot)

    DFi LANPARTY LT X48-T3RS?

    it's definatly a LAN party board as it has the LAN party NB cooler

    edit: LANPARTY LT X38-T2R

    edit2: the video is refusing to work for me now

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    The text clue is seriously relevant... and no, that's not a subtle hint or clue, just a nudge to get you to crunch those numbers.

    btw, you don't need any specialist techy knowledge to get these clues.

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    Guys, why not work together on it? Victor, how did you come up with 1066?

    TAKTAK, sorry, it's not a DFI board. (Just checked, the vid stream is working for me here, after a cache clear too, try a CTRL+F5?)

    For all these, the text clues often have little to do with the video and you could even solve it without watching the vid... though that might not always be the case... (though it is here)

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    i didn't realise EVGA were doing vibrant greens now

    narrowed it don't using the backplate to:

    http://www.evga.com/products/moreInf...d%20Family

    or

    http://www.evga.com/products/moreInf...board%20Family

    oh and the video is working again now

    leaning towards
    EVGA nForce 750i SLI FTW considerably...

    edit: whoops, i meant the:
    EVGA nForce 780i SLI FTW (copied the wrong page )

    reasons why:

    backplate connections

    three green PCI-e, white PCI*1, blue DIMM slot, the PWM cooler

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    I came up with the 1066 october being the 10th month and soixante-neuf being 69 but the numbers did'nt mean much to me 1069? so i flipped the 9 and came up with 1066 i know i'm daft as a brush but it was all i could muster at the time..

    Ok ok now that weve all finished laughing at the dafty, i'm gonna consult with TAKTAK.. and plumb for the http://www.hexus.net/content/item.ph...%20Motherboard

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    Well let's see... you're right with the 10th month and the 69 but you need to use everything in that clue.

    Re: Crunch the numbers

    all i have so far is...

    october = 10 = roman letter X

    soixante-neuf = 69

    1st october = 10 01 in american

    10+69 = 79 01

    and that all somehow comes together to form the XFX 790i Ultra. (the i being the second 1)


    could do with a bit more explanation of how to get XFX, all i have is soixante-neuf sounds like it.

    unless the summer of 69 backing track by bryan adams has something to do with it.

    The video gave the product away too easily, but, I can't link the clues to it though.

    really? it sounded logical to me. ah well... duc's explanation makes more sense. i can see where the 'itemise these' bit comes in now.. its the HEXUS item number.. http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=11096

    and at least TAKTAK learned about reference designs of things where every manufacturers is identical.
