Very very nice gesture , with this, some new peep might get the taste of what overclocking can do to you when having the right stuff in your possesion :-)

How many chips tested/sampled before finding this sweet cherry? I'd even be happy with a sour cherry right now! :p:

Thanks for running this competition :up:

I too would love to see this as a HWBOT team related comp, the team could use a boost ;)

contest or giveaway? how about this: go to the XS WCG page - http://stats.free-dc.org/stats.php?p...674&sort=today
sort the view by the "Today" column, take the top 20 on a given day, throw their names into a hat, and draw for the winner.

No offense but WCG doesn't require a cherry 975 to run. For that I'd rather see 5 920s given away.

Seriously though, everything helps. Be it a 2 Pt hardware cup for 3d05 WR. To put it simply, I'd bet every member on XS could contribute some points with the hardware they already own :up:

Take all xtremesystems-team members at hwbot with a certain amount ( >10 or >30 or x amount ), then throw their names into a hat and draw a winner.
And than let's see what he can do with the system.

By the way, now that I have a pot I could use a new system.... :rofl:

Any idea of when the start would be? Will be getting my Bloodrage and OCZ :D today, but still waiting on the 920 to show:(

Would be nice to see OC on Air comp at this point

I wonder if any of the cherry chips are going to fit a socket 775? That's my system at the moment, but if there were ram and mobo included, I guess it wouldn't matter what socket it is as long as everything included fits together.

either way, I'm no. 28 (which would be barely sliding in).

watch it be something like prime or fibonacci numbers only

nothing has been confirmed other than a contest is going to be announced and winners get a bag of cherry doritos or something. I think the speculation is just fun though

I don't want to sound offending or anything like that, but please, unless you got extreme overclocking experience and access to LN2 ( Liquid Nitrogen ) and the required equipment ( decent LN2 pots, etc ) you should refrain from taking place in this give-away/contest.

sorry but i am a little offended by that statement.:mad:
as FUGGER said

Quote:

The chip will be yours to own and do whatever you want with

i understand that the Extreme OC'ers will get the most out of these cpu but that doesnt mean their the only ones who should be eligable.i thought this was a contest for all at XS,maybe im overreacting but
why shouldnt us normal OCers have a chance to own a great cpu?you never know it might inspire us to move to your level(LN2)after reaching our meager normal OCing limits

It's not a great cpu if it runs at 4.5G air only :p:

LN2, DI and phase experience? Check. Access to LN2 and colder? Check. Pot and phase change coolers? Check. Count me in :D

By cherry chips we are talking about chips that do well under heavy cold ( LN2, Cascade, Dry Ice ) [ the latter applies to some not so common cases ].
Those chips generally do the same with the average chips on air / water cooling.

Having ( per say ) a 5.5GHz Core i7 and running it at 4 - 4.2GHz on air is a big waste, one way or another, especially if you consider the other options... most of the D0 revision i7's can do 4 to 4.2GHz on air, probably with less voltage as well ( since most cherrypicked i7's are high leakage voltage loving chips ).

I have 2 E8600's that do 4.8GHz 24/7 at approx 1.46V, one of them can bench @ ~6.2GHz on LN2, and the other runs flat out at... 5.9GHz... so, I decided to sell the second E8600, since it's of no use to me.

The same thing applies to this situation ( at least that's my feeling ).

We don't even know what chip it is, besides the fact that it is "cherry". But if it is indeed a 5.5GHz+ Nehalem based processor then yes, I agree completely. It would be a huge injustice to the chip's potential for it to go into a rig for 24/7 usage.

I agree, but it is indeed a competition. If it requires any type of overclocking even I would have a small chance at winning;)

Its not just about cold its about having the backline to take advantage of it.

All the LN2 on Earth aint gonna make a cherry E86 shine on a 650I for example.

Cant be elistist. A cherry chip might still shine on good phase or dice.

The fact its a cherry chip is the biggest sticking point... it brings us back to- how should these things be treated when it comes to submitting results, regardless of the owner ;)

I would be sooooooo sad to see a cherry chip got to waste as a daily gamer and not beign pushed to the limits (not in UT3 LOL )
