    Are these lightning versions (which you can't buy anywhere) or reference cards ?

     

    They are lightning versions as far as I remember from Vince's livestreams :)

     

    Here in Greece they are still in stock:

    Achievements - What do you want?

    Agree about the Junkie reward. I've already suggested some achievements in e-mails but one I remember well:

     

    "Socket yyy domination" or "Socket yyy king". For getting most boints on current socket type. For example, LGA775 or others. I think this should be applied only to rather usual one, bot like the AMD s539 or what it was?

    Oh, yeah - and a "dual socket king" or "dual socket domination" as well - you can't achieve any good points on them since rev.3 so at least an achievement would be nice. But for desktop/WS socket only.

     

    I'll try to remember some more.

     

    That's exactly what I had in my mind!

    The person that has collected most hwbot points with S478 processors for example, should definitely get an achievement! One like "S478 King", that would sound REALLY nice! :)

     

    Then you could also have achievements for benchmarks who don't receive any points: Sandra, PCMark04, PCMark Vantage ;)

     

     

    OC guru used to sound muuuch better then OC duke :)

     

    I second that Tudor ;)

    Should HWBot be divided into a two class structure?

    IMHO we are thinking in the wrong direction. We should not decide ourself who is "pro", but let a member decide theirself whether they are pro or amateur. In order to prevent random people from joining the pro league, the option should only be available when you are ranked in the top 50 of the amateur league. On top of that, we should have a "pro overclocking championship"; a few competitions a year for pro members where you can accumulate points which for the yearly pro championship ranking, which resets each year. These competitions should be mandatory, if you consider yourself pro and do not participate in more than 1 competition, you are disqualified... like any other pro sport.

     

    Killer idea there Frederik, one of the best and most rational I've ever heard! :)

     

    That way, the guys who are fully supported by manufacturers and think of overclocking as a profession should enter the pro league. As a community we can't draw a line as to who is considered to be "supported", therefore we should let them decide by themselves. Moreover, whoever feels like he's got the guts to be pro should first aim to join top50 in the amature league, and secondly if he still feels like joining the pros he should wait till the end of the season or something ;)

     

    With the above-mentioned way, pros stay out of amature league and more importantly, heavily sponsored guys stay out of the amature league. For all us cheap-ass overclockers there is still fun out there, NOTHING is changing! Lots of crappy hardware to buy, inexpensive CPUs, retro VGAs to mod & bench. I mean, come on, admit it... We still get to have fun and can also admire our favorite team/overclockers in the professional league! :D;) And in case you feel like competing with the pros? Spend money (just like they did in the past) to buy expensive hardware, equipment, LN2 dewar, collect as many points as you can so that you enter top50 in amature league and then aim for da big championship :)
