OC competition for teens? =)

[carpo93]

i'm in even if there isn't extreme cooling
i think at xtremesystems you should allow xtreme cooling

agreed... I just got into DICE! Its my only real effective way of cooling. The only heatsink I have is an old school Asus Artic Cube. It can't cool worth a damn....

hence - xtremesystems

thats my opinion! But add me to the list

[OverShocked]

Id be down for this! I would vote for extreme cooling as well.

We could have different cooling brackets maybe?

I'd have to disagree with extreme cooling; even water-cooling is a bit much for some teens and would keep the less-privileged from competing (just like many national/international competitions). I know for a fact that I'd have gotten more than an earful if I tried to build or use cascade, chiller, DICE, or liquid nitrogen, not to mention everything but DICE is too expensive.

I'm also 19

Hoping that we are allowed as well

Thats a good idea. Since there arnt so many of us maybe we could just have Sub zero and above zero.

Extreme cooling isn't too expensive... And if you aren't old enough to understand the dangers of "cold" then you probably shouldn't be posting around in xtremesystems for overclocking!

[OverShocked]

^THe cooling itself isnt expensive. But for some its tuff to deal with dead hardware. So they dont wanna risk it.

We may understand it, but our parents/guardians may freak out about it anyways.

Dangers with dice and ln2? Err there isn't many. I've got ln2 on my hands and feet all i've got it little chilling feeling. What comes to dice well it aint' that cold if you're quick enough. I've picked about 2kg of dice hails and put it into dice pot by bare hands, well you can't really squeeze the dice or let it have a good contact with your skin otherwise it might sting a little.

The only hazard of extreme cooling is gas buildup; a simple window-fan (if you're fully indoors) or a box fan (if you're in a garage) works wonders.

I did water cooling at 17.

Although I was a shut in, and had a job where I worked few hours and got paid lots.

To add to that I'm building a $300 water setup this June at age 14...

[Cookiesowns]

Usually its just the Money's concern, and of course the parents. hows it going on the planning? I'm looking forward to this

So, this whole arrangement will turn into a penis measuring contest for 18-year-olds. Good for them.

[lkiller123]

I just turned 15, I am in for sure.

What about us 14 yearolds then eh?

I suppose your penises are too small.

The final details are being hammered out for our "Young Guns" contest; it will be a combination of overclocking and gaming. Currently we are thinking of making it 12-18years old, requirements are having a fast internet connection, and lots of positive energy. Start should be June first going thru the entire month with new challenges each week.

Would love to make a list of everyone interested in joining in.

Well im screwed. I dont have a fast internet connection and my parents are dragging me on a trip for my graduation the whole month of June. I will have a mobile i7 laptop though with a 330m for gaming (be it decreased skill).

[BeepBeep2]

So is this still happening?

[alphadog009]

id be in for this after school ends! im 16 atm and am working on my sig rig (on air) im looking to get into DICE or LN2 this summer possibly if i have the time... but this is a great idea and im def. in!

[Cookiesowns]

Thread is dieing... any updates from the administrators of the whole thing? ( even tho i was the one to propose the above )

[alphadog009]

I think we could start by posting specs, pics, etc.... I'll get some asap then post them up here but just an idea....
