New Formula One Overclocking Competition Announced

[mike]

Why are you BS'ing people man? The chips at GOOC 2009 were handpicked, someone told me they heard those EXACT words came out of your mouth maybe after one beer two many or something . SO why are you trying to say no handpick no for this event and all this baloney about the driver and not the card? HYPOCRISY!!!

YOU are the one that started all this BS manuf ES handpicking do you realize that? YOU are the reason that it's even an issue today. Everything AMD has done has been in response to how you have and STILL operate. You don't want the overclock community to turn into a marketing tool eh??

Vince I think you are trying to refer to Francois and Charles were showing the 965 last December, but please remember for the getgo he has been saying that manufacturers demo are useless in his opinion.

wait wait wait ... you can always find a side effect for everything ... The demo started with the idea that Manufacturer demos are useless, you just made my point !!!! thanks!
Don't blame anybody, it is exactly what we wanted to proove!

Concidere his demo as "out of Category", as they have in the Guiness world record book some time. fair?

Those are CPUs I have in my lab to play with, The point is clear , Manufacturer can do demos that does not reflect always what gets to the market! This is EXACTLY the point I wanted to make from the beginning.

I WARNED many time.

I got the pleasure of talking a lot with Francois about this issue druing CES and GOOC LA and he has been very very clear to me about how he feels that things would quickly out of hand

From what I understand the handpicked CPUs for GOOC were certainly supposed to be good CPUs - but his main concern was trying to get a evenly match set of CPUs to avoid mayor discrepancies between what the teams have to work with at GOOC.

Francois has privately demostrated how easily he could show insane CPU clocks with a few tricks - nothing that would ever be feasible for retail.

From what I heard from Fugger he is 100% serious about his stance - whether we want to fully believe this or not will quickly show in the future.

Can OVERCLOCKERS please make the rules for the contest and NO ONE ELSE OVERCLOCKER magazine? Seriously...
It seems though alot of things are up in the air and there isn't anything solid yet with regards to rules and regulations and I think that needs to be 100% cleared up before I can give full commitment. Whoever made the f1-scca comment was spot on .

I was looking forward seeing you bench 3Dmark06 with EVGA board - wait - I don't think EVGA has a board that has onboard graphics - right ????
