I focus on making the most number of people happy, with High end processors , high Intruction per clock, high Frequency .. awesome performance.
You guys can do your home work and find the best chips, this is part of being a good overclocker ...
Im not sure you took in what Gomeler was saying, its not just about having super chips. retail chips that are pretested to find SIMILAR ability, they could be retail no?

As Kenny said above, not everyone is in the financial position to 'find' a chip that is going to compete,

i.e mrx buys 10 cpus to find a good one, mr. b. can only buy one [at a push] so has to rely on luck rather than judgement.
some will some wont thats why your statement about chip selection being part of being a good overclocker fails, cant you see that?

It's begining to turn into a mantra, this comp is about finding the best overclockers not the best off financially or those with the best contacts.

cpus pre selected by a neutral person would be best imo. no one can then say well my cpu was not up to it or I was unlucky.
