Funny those discussions come up again and again. There are already so many threads around here and every new questionable results raises the question if enthusiast league just has bad rules or is in general redundant.
Personally I see no point in enthusiast league. I think it just stops people trying out extreme cooling methods cause they fear loosing their position in enthusiast ranking. Also we all have some different understanding what an enthusiast actually is...
When I look back, I see nvidia made outstanding results with haswell too. He has some excellent tweaking skills, but we all know if you have a bad CPU all your skills are useless. (Except you are a wizard turning bad silicon into outstanding one.)
What does that mean? You already guess it: Binning. And for me this is extreme and thats why enthusiast league is a joke.
If someone is using a chiller in enthusiast league you are breaking the rules but the simple truth is: Who can check if someone is using a chiller or if he/her just opens a windows because he/her lives in Siberia? If its really cold out there you can actually can go way below -10°C in your loop. What would u say if someone tells you that he cools his PC with -15°C cold water/alcohol/freeze protection? Wouldnt you say "Wow, thats kinda extreme!" ??
The question for competitions is, are we all playing fair? How do we enforce the rules? Can we at all?
I personally would wish, if someone is playing with ice buckets he should show it on the picture because he has to show his _whole_ system. And I think ice buckets are an essential part. Given the fact that this is about $$$ in those competitions we should be all a little bit more sensitive to such things.

hmm now some results are gone. Looks like you ranked the second best result of the user and not his best one.

Yeah those old sandy bridge cpus still lead the ranking? Cant be right.
And what about the superpi32m score from Kastratos? I cant find it anywhere

Great idea to include Turricans scores! If possible please just rank users best result per CPU.
