I am interested into the young kids :shakes:
I suspect this has something to do with this thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=229185
There's a link to this thread in Simons link madness.

What I meant was that if you don't have the money at the moment to buy the necessary equipment ( hardware & LN2 equipment ), experienced or not, it would be a waste, and when you eventually get the money to buy the equipment needed you'll more than likely be late to the party ( as in, the chip won't be anywhere near the top chips at the time given and even if you're a top notch overclocker & tweaker you'll be way off the top 50 because the others will have better & newer hardware ).
Another point is, if you're not experienced in LN2 OCing, or you never had any extreme overclocking experience, but you intend to "get in the game" there's a big chance of "burning" things down including the CPU in case something goes wrong insulation-wise, and believe it or not a lot of beginners had such accidents losing hardware, etc until they learned how to properly insulate their stuff on their own or guided by another more experienced extreme overclocker.
Let's ignore the "damaging" experience for a sec, and pretend that everything's gonna be ok, etc.
The "beginner Joe" will more than likely... NOT be able to squeeze out the best of the chip because ironically, he doesn't have the experience to do it.
I can give you for example a 6.5GHz E8600 and the rest of my hardware and equipment, and you ( not specifically you, generally speaking ) may get stuck even at under 6GHz.
In the beginning people make mistakes, try to learn new things, etc, there's no need for a super duper cherry-picked CPU, you may get a retail chip ( cheap or expensive doesn't matter ) and with some luck of draw it may be a crazy clocking chip, or an average clocker.Anyway, you'll be having fun and learning how to "properly" OC & bench with LN2, no matter if you're running a 6GHz E8600 or a 6.6GHz E8600 [ quite a lot E8600s nowadays hit over 6GHz ]
To compete at high levels you must master some stuff first, like Vmodding, temp control, BIOS tweaking, software & app tweaking, etc.
Benching isn't a plug 'n' play compatible hobby, you simply can't get into the top places of the "league" simply by running a cherry-picked CPU.
As for encouraging new & young people in getting into extreme overclocking, I can give you access to my inbox ;)
Sorry if I offended you.
Friendly,
Bill
Im throwing my hat in the ring, but like some others here, I bench only on air, cant afford anymore at least not right now.... cheers
I see where you coming from benchzownwer.It makes sense that people with high end gear have better chance of getting the most out of the cpu but im sure everyone will love a cherry chip :D I don't think anyone should feel offended though
I thought we have to compete so i checked if i have the right gear :
F1EE
Gigabyte board
Corsair ram
Cascade :D
Luck be with us all :)
how's it advancing? :)
I am sensing that the "annoucement" will be on the weekend sometime - probably Sunday night (when I am at 35000 feet over the atlantic.....)
+1, though i'm willing to wait and see what the competition is first. If it involves anything that would require purchasing a large amount of gear or other equipment, this isn;t much of a giveaway and more like a "trade" IMHO.Quote:

well i'm young, and i've ln2 pot, but i never had a cherry chip:p::shrug:Quote:

I am with Carpo here! I got LN2 pot and I order LN2 and try my hardest to get frost bitten time and time again. I never had a cherry chip!Quote:

I approve this thread http://www.theflipsideforum.com/Smil...c/thumbsup.gif
wait, I think I just figured it out. its a contest for cherry southbridge chips
You know what would be awesome? A cherry Pentium 4. I've always wanted to see 10GHz :p:
I can get you a heck of a deal on a 2400 celly if you'd like?:rofl:Quote:
