The Ethics of Overclocking

[mike]

This would be an entirely different category then. In my opinion the point of all these wild scenarios and special equipment we use is to get every last Mhz out of the hardware, one way or another.

If we went with a more real world approach we would have no need for liquid nitrogen, helium, and where is the fun in that?

I hear what you are saying, I totally see the fun in this. But the me highest CPU-Z clocks are more meaningful than a 60k socre in 3Dmark06. It is so easy to make a WR these days if you are willing to go into software tuning. Most numbers are becoming meaningless - at least to me. Hey an I enjoy finding mad tweaks. I am all for it. But not without real - world applications.

CPU-Z and GPU-Z are so much more meaningful than most benchmark results.

AND hey - I am still addicted to the smell of LN2, won't stop me from trying a EVGA SR-2 on LN2 next weekend, but for competitive purposes let's all be a bit more innovative.

Again these are just my personal opinons - not sure if anyone agrees with them.
