March 26, 20206 yr 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.
March 26, 20206 yr Crew 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
March 26, 20206 yr 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.

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.

March 29, 20206 yr One day I was benching actually on the street in the winter night. "Room" ambient was -20°C.

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 ?
April 26, 20206 yr 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.
April 27, 20206 yr 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.
April 27, 20206 yr 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.
