chew* Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) As all we thought, the guys with LN2 will win this contest, I think that people with air cooler and H2O don't have opportunity , even that I did my overclock the 1st days and I will try to add another one with H2O before the contest close. I hope be a lucky guy to win one of those mobos. I think the question all of us need to ask is IF you had ln2 do you think that your chip would be doing 7 gig. The answer is if your not validating 5 gig on normal ambient temps most likely not Just a little humbling perpective. From my data and what I know I see a few 6.6 and 6.7 gig chips if users had ln2 that are only competing on air.

I think that my chip isn't good since with H20 I can't pass the 4.6GHz @ 1.650V on Vcore. I think that this contest also depends of your skill and experience, and to be honest this is my 1st contest in hwbot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it sucks but you always have sandybridge competitions to look forward to where ln2 users won't really have any edge Of course quality of chip will still play a role. If you want to get that chip a tad faster focus less on volts and see if you can bring temps down more, open a window and use some winter air if available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chew* Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Yeah, I'm thinking in change to SB since the AMD price/performance isn't more true with those CPUs on the market. probably not the place to discuss it but although the 2500K is not fairing so well OC wise I find it to be more bang for buck than 2600K. I'm not all to impressed with intels HT on performance with sandy. Seems like core IPC went up but HT performance took a hit. For gaming as much as I love amd I don't need more than 4 cores and a 2500K may make it into my next build.

Massman Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Fyi, lucky draw goes as follows: - grab al list of all resultIds from the database linked to stage or contest - randomize list on random.org - first entry on the randomized list is 'lucky winner' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
