Please resize your screenshots 1280x1024 is a good size to use :)

Have fun and good luck and spread the word, the more the merrier

Let the competition begin.

I removed the owning a phenom II exclusion for the sake of a larger competition however if somone that was more fortunate chose to pass his winnings on to somone less fortunate that is the runner up it would be :cool:

Any stability requirements or just enough to be able to take the screenshot? EDIT: Also does a 7750 BE count?

Any Phenom I cpu counts the stability test is the screenshot, its sometimes harder than a cpu-z validation suicide ;)

Use the Force *cough* 7750 *cough* Luke !! Use the force !! :D

Good luck to all participants :up:

Perkam

sounds interesting, will have to put my old 9850 beater to the test!

Bump....................Needs to be sticky till deadline.

stuck..:D

So I can enter if I have a pII I just have to give it to the runner up?

also odd yea kstat shows 12 and AOD shows 14?

but I can't enter at this time as I don't have a digital camera aval ATM....

I was referring to the ambient temps versus aod reported temps, that was shot within 10 seconds of screenie. 24C ambients and cpu is reporting 20C.....;)

If you currently own a P II you can enter with your P I, Its not required that you give it up but it sure would be a nice gesture if the runner up can not afford a PH II :up:

aww crap I dont own a camera to take a picture of the rig, or a thermometer to take a pic of lol.

camera phone any picture quality......as long as we can tell its a computer and what cooling you have......don't need a temp probe just bundled motherboard hardware monitor showing temps in screenshot.....

Surely you must know someone with a camera......this is common practice with alot of competitions.....

It is just a pity its US only :/ might as well make you guys work for it though;)
I'll do a few runs sometime soon, just to see if/what i could of won.

Yah sorry I'm poor shipping to UK is :shakes: looking forward to results though.

...if you can ship the CPU to an American address, will foreigners be able to join...?;)

I could use one of those 720's... and I have a decent B2 I think:p:

Edit: crap, I forgot about B3's being Phenom I as well. Oh well... hehe. I can still participate for fun, being the fastest B2 is still something to aim for.

Where's gotvoltage?? He has a Kick A$$ Phenom I. I don't believe he has a Phenom II yet either..

will be putting my 9850 back in my rig for this. Had to sell my 940 due to really needing the cash.

hmmm well if you submit a result and you give me a USA in the local 48 address as your address how am I to know any different ;)

Hey Chew*

Is chilled water allowed?

Temps for water must be kept in the range mentioned in rules post 1. ambients 15C / 60F temps in windows of actual cpu will have to be higher than ambient, 61F would be fine

Still have my 9850 but not in the US....

TSK TSK charged, no cpu-z, no notepad in screenshot.

It's really cool of you to run this contest chew*!

I have a 9950be in my 2nd rig that I'm trying to sell, but it never was that good of a clocker and it's running on a Biostar TA790-GX that doesn't like high V's... 3.2 was the best I ever got out of it even on the Asus M3A79-T with water so I doubt I'd even have a chance... :(

Just wanted to give you props for your generosity! :up:

Oh well I originally got a Woody :Dbut I see its for Phenom 1 Overclocking:(

The Only Phenom 1 I have is a 9600 BE and the only way to get some OC out of this thing is to Pitch it Up In the Air and Smack across Center Field with a Louisville Slugger
