I'd like to play but don't feel I'll make any difference. There are a bunch of people here with much more experience than me and with 965's...

I posted the png file that Everest CPUID saves for the contest's memory validation. Is that acceptable or is there some other validation requirement using Everest. I looked around but couldn't find anything.

why only north america ?

Its probably North American only because NCIX is a Canadian company that ships only to the United States and Canada. Since this is likely a publicity thing, allowing country outside of North America to enter would do nothing for pulling in customers.

Its sucks for people that don't have Asus hardware, because buying a new MB if they already have an I7 to enter this competition would frankly be a waste of cash.

But that might not stop me if ncix gives us a good price on the Rampage II gene(and gets it in stock), I wouldn't mind trying that out for the lulz.

I think you confuse the format of GOOC and the format of this Average Joes OC competition.

GOOC is a global competition that has two years in a row let teams composed of the best and brightest in overclocking to compete on a single platform and showcase tweak, time management, and LN2 skills. This Average Joes competition is restricted to North America, purposely limited to the individuals who haven't had a chance to make a name for themselves, and meant to foster better relations with the budding overclocking community.

One is a Formula 1 class competition, the other is a local Autocross competition. That being said, fire up your engines ladies and gentlemen! We want to see some new faces burn up some LN2 in pursuit of happiness :up:
