there is no limits on cooling your hardware

[chuchnit]

Just remember that there is a 50 post minimum. It is very lax and you have until the end of the contest to get your post in.

it's the most @@@@ rule i think . because english
is a foreign language in many countries and it's not easy for them to have activity with their foreign language .

Hey man no worries. It's not englishgrammerpolice.com. You don't have to have perfect english. We have a Brazillian member who's english is poor. It's all good though. We can still get to know ya.

we even have some USA members who have some very poor language skills

best thing to do for the 50 post count is start a "Contest OC log" thread and update your scores, rig pictures, and even a day by day summary of your overclocking experience in this contest.

by the end of the event 50 posts will be very easy to accomplish!

you dont need 50 posts untill the contest is over start benching post some results and talk about your failure and success!

Are you talking about me? just kidding :p

Nice contest guys, let's see what we can do.. Where are all the results so far?

[The Water Dog]

And most importent, you learn something new everytime you doing "benching for days".
i came on second place in the comp. to get to travel to EM in Germany, it was not cool for the second year on row to get second place. But the things i learn those days i benched is almost a prize itself.
Sorry for my bad english and exempel:S

Im getting a new i45, as i killed it under SS last time, :P
Am also getting an M3A79-T Deluxe probably,
What card would be best at this comp?
Because ive realised, that unlike the XS one, with a nature limit, it means that I would need a really decent gpu,
So may not be any point to compete.......

[Deux]

There is a nature cap, it's the same as KP's contest IIRC. You can see it in the copy/pasted version as its the same color as the background of XS.

see mate . some countries like iran , china and ... have internet filtering that blocks some websites and no many peoples can bypass filtering . please tell me if you have any other domain for your forums .

of course overclockaholics filtered wrongly but it takes a month to unblock a website in iran

Its not copy/pasted from KP's thread Duex. Its manually copied and with Vince's blessing at that. If it aint broke, don't fix it.
