New Formula One Overclocking Competition Announced

[BustaH]

Exactly. Retail is unpredictable, we could all be benching at 4.8GHz-5.0GHz if the chips aren't pre-screened.



... have you read anything everyone else has written or do you have global ignore enabled? We aren't asking for stupid chips that clock to unimaginable frequencies. All the majority of us want are EQUAL CHIPS. You talk of regulation, THAT IS WHAT WE WANT! If we have everyone using retail chips I guarantee you there will be results all over the place, Core i7 is like a crapshoot. Even if you pre-bin a series of chips and CHARGE US it would be better than having everyone hunting through retail stores blowing money that could be spent on cooling. We already do this with HWBot, the point was to make this event different and over the top.

Francois Cliff Notes:
We want regulation
We want chips that have been pre-screened/binned/regulated to perform close to each other.
We don't want to know who has the biggest wallet or best chip source, we want the event to be fun.


I might be an ass at times but I believe I understand the fun this could be, even as a spectator, and I'm going to be as loud as I can be to see that this happens.


and in closing..


EXACTLY! The fictitious kid you speak of shouldn't be trying to figure out why his Core i7 975 won't do 5.1GHz on LN2.

also, if someone thinks I should shut up for slamming on Francois, let me know and management will take it under consideration

Bravo, at last an intelligent comment. thank you.

However it is done we need a neutral person to pre bin the cpus, that will make the comp far more interesting, like Gomeler said if we wanted to know who had the biggest bank account or best contacts for cpus, there are other comps that possibly have proved these things already, that is exactly why this needs to be thought out properly.

This comp has the potential to be very good for the overclocking community.
