raules009 Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 any brand of vga? Gtx 780 ti classified allowed? Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 The air/water category is interesting. Can you elaborate the "verification link must display the CPU and GPU temperature. For air and water cooling the minimum temperature must be 30°C." part? Does it mean, temperature can be controlled with LN2 Pot/chilled waterblock as long as the temp doesn't reach below 30 C? Oh, and can ES CPU and ES GPU(e.g MSI GTX 780 Ti Lightning) be used? Thanks Quote
zeropluszero Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Yeh, this comp needs some serious clarification. Especially in regards to the temperature thing. and can we make it 20 degrees? because my watercooling loop isnt crap. Quote
suzuki Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 i have ambient of 29-31 degrees in here,any watercooling is crap,unless it's chiller..... Quote

Oh, and can ES CPU and ES GPU(e.g MSI GTX 780 Ti Lightning) be used? Thanks - The cooling part must be an air or water cooler. No liquid nitrogen! - You can chill the water but the temperatures cannot go below 30°C - ES CPU and GPU have always been allowed for Gigabyte competitions Quote
zeropluszero Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 How would you like us to prove its not gone below 30 degrees? Quote
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Damnit Gigabyte, it's like your forcing my hand to buy a 780ti just to keep up. Quote
newlife Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 - You can chill the water but the temperatures cannot go below 30°C My 780 idles well below that so I can't take part Quote
Massman Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 How would you like us to prove its not gone below 30 degrees? We check the Catzilla verification link. The temperature cannot go below 30°C in load. If it's idling lower, that's fine. Quote
zeropluszero Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 the catzilla link shows this? hell, I dont even know what my GPU does during load. Quote
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 the catzilla link shows this?hell, I dont even know what my GPU does during load. Yeah, catzilla logs all that crap and displays it on their server, much like the futuremark does, not that anyone cares. Quote
Gunslinger Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Yeah, catzilla logs all that crap and displays it on their server, much like the futuremark does, not that anyone cares. When it works, which for me is never. Quote
der8auer Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 ES CPU allowed? any brand of vga?Gtx 780 ti classified allowed? ES hardware is allowed. The air/water category is interesting. Can you elaborate the "verification link must display the CPU and GPU temperature. For air and water cooling the minimum temperature must be 30°C." part? Does it mean, temperature can be controlled with LN2 Pot/chilled waterblock as long as the temp doesn't reach below 30 C? Oh, and can ES CPU and ES GPU(e.g MSI GTX 780 Ti Lightning) be used? Thanks Processor cooling is limited to Standard Stock Cooling, Air Cooling, Water Cooling. By definition of HWBot rules you can use a water chiller but like Massman already posted your load temperature must be higher than 30°C Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted June 23, 2014 Crew Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) C'mon guys, seriously for those who are directly looking for non legit work arounds on the temps for the air/liquid category. Give the real air/liquid guys an honest chance to have fun themselves. It is quite simple: play along nicely with the laid down rules, this without even trying to read in between the lines... no subzero stuff near the setup plz Edited June 23, 2014 by Leeghoofd Quote
Atlas Rush Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I was going to ask if it was possible to lower the temperature to 20°C, but if it's a LOAD temperature, well, 30°C is great then Quote
TaPaKaH Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 You can run 1.9Vgpu on the card with a chiller, it should load around 30c Quote
bartman1973 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 My idle here in the Philippines with watercooling is 36C already I will be joining in the Air/Liquid category. Need to buy a good GPU because of this contest Quote
Crew Antinomy Posted June 23, 2014 Crew Posted June 23, 2014 I've got 8 degrees out of my water tap. You mean I should use the one with hot water? Quote

zeropluszero Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 C'mon guys, seriously for those who are directly looking for non legit work arounds on the temps for the air/liquid category. I'm gonna have to unplug the fans on this bad boy when I have a 12 degree ambient here in Melbourne, Australia. Quote
