Noxinite Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Come on people, ambient = room ambient. Not external ambient - that doesn't make any sense. No-one will voluntarily have a -20C room which they have to live in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 26, 2020 Crew Share Posted March 26, 2020 That's your way of interpretation... and it will not be correct for many... believe me... So my room ambient is 21°C, my setup is inside but my radiator is outside at -15°c... Ambient temp or not ? How to judge? Overclockers will bend rules to get any advantage.... it will never work as not everyone plays nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraRaptor Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 When I was new to competitive overclocking I had s775 setup that was doing 3.75 ghz in summer and 4.1ghz in winter with open windows - exact same hardware and placement in the room. So what is air cooling?) Single stage actually gives much less spread in temperatures. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-one will voluntarily have a -20C room which they have to live in. Actually that's exactly what I did when I started out benching. A bunch of my Socket 478 scores on water are done in winter, at night, with the window wide open in my room. Ambient probably about - 5c in my room. Even in Wales we don't get the chilly - 20c I dreamed of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZFeSS Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 One day I was benching actually on the street in the winter night. "Room" ambient was -20°C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to add to this (I'm the Yand to your Yin, Your other cup of Tea, Ect, Ect). If you set a Time Limit, you must also set a submission limit. Do you need to sub 1, 2 - 10 scores a year to be considered active? What if : Your new score is lower than 2 years ago, does it still count for being active? You only submit scores for Competitions, Challenger Series, Ect, Ect. Theses do not always give points and are limited (Less than 5 ) submissions. Thank You ?

Mr.Scott Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Personally, I wouldn't be harsh on this. 1 sub per year would be enough to keep you active. Whether it gets points or not, I could care less. Just something to show that you're still interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexmaj467 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'm very interested. But unfortunately while I'm doing something else, maybe in 4 months there will be time to do a little bit of CPU selection. And it will take 15 months from the last submission of the result. Let's expand it for 2 years for inactivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkysAdventure Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I'm pretty sure I'm in enthusiast league, right? It's pretty fun sniping 5.4ghz+ geek submissions with a 5ghz 8700k and maxed out mem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when I did the same, had to keep going inside because my hands didn't want to work and warm gloves were too big for keyboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
