Small Contest for a nice Christmas Gift

[LardArse]

Hey you cooling nut cases!
I have been given a brand new Foxconn Quantum MARS P35 motherboard to give out to anyone. (No pic let’s cut pimping to a minimal) This contest is pretty straightforward!

A Build Log plus finished project Contest!
- Must be Phase Change :P
- Must be complete with Pictures – No bigger than 640pixels width

Reply this thread with Work log to enter!

Keep all your work pictures and updates within 4 posts, just keep editing to add in. I’d propose you post one post and then reserve 3 spaces below it immediately to keep your work log in a single file.

Single stage and Cascades are equally welcomed, of course the nature of each will be evaluated on equal grounds – ie won’t compare performance of single to a Cascade.

You will be judged on Ease to understand of detailed work log, Innovation, aesthetics, and Performance! The shady area will of course be performance so try to convince us of it's performance the best way you can, benched on a CPU/GPU, etc...

Contest starts now, winner announced on Christmas Day!

Woot sounds good, love it, does it have to be a NEW worklog? That would make it a bit more interesting I think...

Yes it would be, that will make things fairer I think

Excellent, I just started scraping together the parts for prototype build so this could be fun When should we have the finished product submitted?

[kayl]

Good luck guys, looks like someone will be getting a Foxconn Quantum MARS P35 motherboard for Christmas

[teyber]

this is awsome!
Why the very low limit on pics? it should just not be repetetive...

And time frame?
edit: x-mas day XD

Yea, but only if your building a dual head unit for me!
You got one that will handle 300w?

Thought you were against all cooling method other than air cooling Dave?

Nah we got him wet on the clovers. Phase is the next step right?

Like all things in life as you gather information you reevaluate your positions..

send her my way, im a charity case

[LardArse]

Well why I wanted to limit was to make it easier to read and clear and precise, that was my thinking... I was thinking that spanning 4 posts should be fine for a build, and users just edit their own posts to put in updates...
Is 4 too little?
I think anyone should be free to enter, unless Runny says no

[piotres]

Can one person post more than one unit ?

and

We should post that worklogs in this topic ?

[jinu117]

Woot, woot, woot.
I see some oldies hitting back with this... This is going to be fun than (should we ban CPEV? J/K)

[piotres]

Oldies LOL ...Man I'm 20 years old ..so old ? J/K

[LardArse]

My opinion is yes, and we will judge by the one we like most, but let me confirm with runny first

Anytime before Christmas day

Oh, just realized something... we can't even legitimately compare CPU temperature on SS on most situation -_-;
Basically, it has been a while since last time I saw any.... negative temperature reading from software even on SS with newer Intel CPU in general... comparing performance is going to be headache.

yes thats why i say perf is just one factor and contestant can try to convince us in any creative way... its too grey and debating on this will end up with what runny predicted

yes please post in this thread

[gosmeyer]

Thanks Peter, This should be pretty cool to watch.

[Dualist]

Are joint enteries allowed.? ie two mates building one system.?

[Fujimitsu]

Great idea, hopefully this will spur some people to try new things.

I love contests .
