I guess the lesson is like I said before, you cannot be sure that this high Uncore is 100% stable.
Ok, that's clear. I didn't think of the fact that your uncore doesn't have to be 100% stable for this competition. Nonetheless, you were saying that depending on the quality of your IMC and cache that there is a possibility to run a nearly 9:9 ratio?!?

Kind of a general question I guess...I doubt I'd be able to get it in time to try it out for the competition. What do you guys think?
Somebody on the dutch forum I referred to before is building a new comp. with this TEC. However he didn't finished his build yet so no results from him are yet available. I tried to look for his thread again because I'm also not sure if he's applying this TEC on an i7. I will look a bit further for you on that dutch forum.

Finally, what is this competition actually all about? What do you have to perform to win and at which place are you at the moment? What prizes are there to win?
