current-ish gen ES and no pro league?

I thought he had higher valids with some other sticks, no?

just wondering, do you get all these CPUs via German ebay?

this will be very hard to beat

why not execute it in such a way that haters won't have any ground for asking such questions? or, another random idea - why not let it run for three weeks and then let it close when activity falls below certain threshold? (measured in, say, new competitors or results per unit of time)

Why not make a competition end at 'random' (at least non-publically-known) time? Say, let it run for 3 weeks and end at 'random' time during the fourth one. This way all the sandbaggers will upload their results at the end of 3rd week, and diehard-hollywood-last second benchers will have all the info plus some extra adrenaline from the competition being able to end on any second

Isn't this what the new two-stage is actually for? Though they might have slightly overdone it by making stages way too long...

another random idea: http://hwbot.org/country/league Why not rank countries in a similar way team are ranked, i.e. by CPP (country power points, analogous to TPP) + UP total / 10 ? ... unless, of course, it's too difficult to implement

wouldn't even tell that it's done on an MSI

Let's see if this gets beaten by a backup ...

There is no objective way to compare pots across all platforms (low/high coldbug, low/high heatload) and all scenarios (low/high delta between benchable temp, CB and CBB) - it's mostly down to personal preference, really.

tweak it, and it won't be 19 minutes anymore

random idea: http://hwbot.org/league/hardware_masters would it be possible to rank people only by their 2D and 3D hardware points? (say, by clicking on "2D points" or "3D points" texts)

I guess staff are currently too busy 'making love with Intel' since they can't be bothered to fix site issues, let alone someone's personal ones.

why not try a piss? ... board has yellow slots anyway

most of these cards are capped at 864, but if you can get around that by trying flashing various BIOSes as some don't have this limit

ehr, does the "$" scale on the left mean that OC series will be more expensive than the Sniper/UD7, which are already roughly 300 euro boards?

First ever X5xxx Xeon over 6GHz, right? If so - congratulations on that!

wow, an impressive set of Tridents given tRFC and tWCL.

EDIT: my bad, please delete

I suggest you work out team switching policies in advance

all sold

Doesn't necessarily has to be on sale for pics of retail box. You know, distributors stock these long in advance

impressive IMC for an i3
