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.

yes ... Good i7 is 5Ghz 32M air stable chip who like Vcore and cold :D

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 ;)

+1 - it says "giveaway" no? :p:

+1 cherry chips are exactly that - not good air chips

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 )

+1 - I totally agree with that

If required I would step up and acquire an LN2 pot ........... :woot:

Nice idea Fugger. And this whole thread is pretty interesting and funny at the same time. People are getting overly worked up over this and we don't even know the details yet.

I'd be down for this also, be nice to see a cherry chip actaully push 12gb @ rated 1600 or higher......

personally, If I were to win the processor I would buy the Ln2 pot I have been wanting and finally order the 30l dewar that I am watching on ebay so that I could be worthy of winning the chip :D

Ya I'll be moving into a new apartment in a month with a whole room dedicated to me and my computer misadventures. Please just give me a reason to start Ln2'ing.

Sign me up as well for that chip...

I am in too.....Whos doesn't want a great chip.Even if it is a great E1200...:p :p :p
