    Card has on board 128 mb, therefore she should be attached to just 8500.

    The ammount of memory cannot be a certain factor about this vga gen identification.

    Because we had cards with both 64mb and 128mb.

    Those cards could become whatever you decide to make them through bios flash or software mod or hardware mod.

    The vga core photo or a pcb photo is the only way to determine the exact version of those vga's.

    You can have a 8500 or 8500LE or even an Ati FireGL 8800 and mod it to .... whatever.

     

    The honesty factor of each user .... is the only factor in this case.

    First of all , we are assuming this is real and not some kind of fake.

    If it's real , and according to that era , we are talking about some special bin (pretested) of Corsair Dominator GT (probably GTX2)

    That "JAKE" marking , is leading me to Jake Crimmins (aka CPT. PLANET) , who was a very active xtreme ocer at that time and also a Corsair stuff member.

     

    To understand a bit more about what Jake did at Corsair

    There should have been a temperature limitation and also a temperature monitoring software in this competition.

    So there couldn have been any room for misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

    In that way it would be more fair to all.

    Cause that simplified "Ambient" rule is not enough ... it's already been bent or "played to the limit".

    I am not questioning the good intentions of the competition starter.

     

    Me and Ivan for example cannot compete , when having 30-32C ambient.

    We cannot match Alaska's or Alps fresh air nor the chilling night breeze.

    We simply cant.

    And i definitely dont want to fool my fellow ocers , making them believe that i found a cool place to bench. 

     

    Anyway , what's done is done.

     

    P.S.

    Is there an expression in English about the ostrich that put it's head into the sand to hide ?

     

    A few years back a big cpu manufacturer was claiming enormous clocks from their new gen cpu , using only AIO cooling (was it a presentation or a comp , i cant remember).

    A few days after it was leaked , that they were pouring LN2 on the AIO's rad.

    Aaahh ... human nature ...

    That's true, however the same applies for "ambient" water cooling. Ambient is not a definitive term. Someone's "ambient" might be below zero (with the rig outside), then other people are in the summer already with degrees over 30 (Celsius) during the day, so it will never be "fair" for everyone, despite the good intentions and idea.

    If the verification is done by a rig pic only, then good luck verifying anything. :)

    At least Alby (@leeghoofd) has shown his "ambient" clearly, can't say about others though ?

    32C Ambient today , here in Athens

    You can always use Mentos ?  ?

     

    or even better ... Colgate

    Out of curiosity, why is this motherboard so special? 

    Hi George

    ludek , said it all.

    I will just add that it has the best available chipset (975) to clock all those socket M cpu's.

    I will always treasure mine , parked on that top self.

    Congrats to USA for taking that No1 spot.

    Sadly , we didnt participated at all this year ... but if i can judge right , it must have been a very interesting and also tough competition.

    It seems it was about time , for someone else to "break" that AU domination.

     

    Cheers to everyone who participated and thanks to HWBot for organising !!!
