[The official GIGABYTE Spring Extreme Competition thread.]

What ever happened to just playing for the fun of it? I knew going in that I stood no chance, yet I play. Why must there always be a reward involved other than a 'hey, good job man' and a pat on the back. Honestly, some of you guys just kill the fun aspect of overclocking. It's very discouraging.

 

Notice the ":P" at the end of the post, I was just lightheartedly making an observation that I am going in knowing full well that I am going to get smoked . No one said anything about not having fun! Im fine with not winning, I just hope I dont lose in a plume of smoke and charred PCB . Good luck to all!

It's almost impossible get a better score than FTW with that 7970...

 

No really. Shouldnt they have different levels for these kind of comps (ie air, water, phase etc)? Obviously once the pro clockers with SS and LN2 come in, 99% of us dont have a chance, the top three spots are already won. Come on, 5.5GHz on a 6 core, we all screwed
