Vellinious Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 So, why are guys that are obviously running chilled, putting submissions in the water cooling (custom) category? Is the chilled water cooled category new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 How exactly is it obvious other than having a picture? Yes, it's new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vellinious Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 When a 980ti is running at 1700+ on the core, and the temps on GPUz are showing -2c, it's pretty obvious...excluding the pictures of the coolers and chillers with frost on the reservoirs. lol Just curious....

Mr.Scott Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) My bad. I didn't know we were talking GPU's. Temp tab on GPUz is not a screenshot requirement. Somebody did you a favor. Tell me then, without a pic, how would you know if a CPU was chilled or not? My point being, you still cannot prove temp at HWB, therefore one cannot dispute a sub because of temp of water. The chilled water classification is a farce. It is based on trusting the submittor, and we all know how that goes here.

A 980ti running at above 1700 on the core is a pretty good indicator that they're running sub-ambient. If you know what the hardware is capable of, it's not hard to spot.

I agree, it's not hard to spot, but impossible to prove without a doubt, enough to take action against. THAT, has always been a problem here.

I.nfraR.ed Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yes, it's because the category is new. Back when I benched mine (980, non-Ti) on chilled water, there was only H2O category: I.nfraR.ed`s 3DMark11 - Performance score: 21864 marks with a GeForce GTX 980 But it is clear this core clock is not possible with normal room temperatures. @Mr\.Scott is right though - it's up to the submitter to enter all details, so we rely solely on his honesty.
