We need simple simple simple, the harder things are getting to understand the more new guys just move along and decide not to participate.
IF you get samples and or have ES you are elite.
IF not you are not.
2 leagues cut and dry. Majors and Amateurs. Cooling can be cheated so is irrelevant. Even if a device is developed for telemetry and temperature I'll stick the probe under the south bridge and run my cpu on ln2 lol. Dont make a league for something that cannot be policed.
Back to new guys. So they come read the rules, you are an amateur unless you get hw samples and or choose to use ES or you just prefer to compete there if not you are amateur league.
Not if you use and air cooler and you are 2 months old and have ginger hair then you are in the ginger amateur air leauge.
