I guess most of them are listed somewhere and it's just a matter of getting them in for competitions as well.

But, think about it. We're basically discussing a situation here where the lack of respect of overclockers towards other overclockers lead to a very nasty situation. Also, a lot of the people I see commenting here are agreeing on the fact that if feels as if the respect for other overclockers is sometimes missing. If these complaints are legit and we want things to change, is the way to do it really to make live competition rulebooks as complicated as possible to make sure everyone plays fair?

M.Beier already gave a good example: at the P55 OC Event, GIGABYTE gave us the normal bios. Some guys had the bios with extra Vcore ... they could've kept it to themselves, but in the end we just passed around the bios for everyone to enjoy. Things like this happen on all events: I remember Elmor giving SF3D and me his settings in the first MOA EU 2008 round because we got stuck.

In the end, each individual is responsible for his actions. If the individual finds it okay to go over the rules and find loopholes to grab the win, fine. But he also has to accept that other people might no see this as ok and might even be offended by it.

I'd really hate to see an overclocking community where rules and regulations are the only way to prevent people from pulling dirty tricks. It would take the fun out of overclocking quite rapidly.
