With ambient cooling ofc... yes, everybody can participate but with ambient temps... no chillers, TECs,... or such allowed. Our initial rule proposal was to use a stock Corsair AIO. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaskOCGuy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Good luck everyone. I'll skip this one, as my opinion and experience with Corsair is poor. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FzR dontdie x Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I’m excited for this. Will be my first comp outside of country cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mllrkllr88 Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Good stuff! The 4000 16-16-16 kits look like a decent value. I'm in for a token participation sub at least ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAGG Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 I know name of the comp contains ddr4 but rules don't so far, can i assume i can bring some gtx2s for the random draw price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted August 8, 2021 Author Crew Share Posted August 8, 2021 you can assume but the tile of the compo is DDR4 open OC... don't think it needs any rule or clarification... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_n00b Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Now I'm praying no major hw release inside the competition timeframe, so I have time off work to have fun in the comps Btw, I haven't seen platform/cpu restriction for this, so any DDR4 cpu/platform (as long as its retail) might join? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intender Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 If I have some time I will get a few subs in. Probably wont win anything, but I like joining in when I have time. I have an old 4000 kit with e die and some newer stuff with cjr. Neither can compete with good b die though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted August 10, 2021 Author Crew Share Posted August 10, 2021 Olympic principle peeps, submit in all 3 stages and you are already in for the lucky draw raffle... Yes as long as it is a DDR4 platform sporting Corsair memory sticks you are fine ( no ES hardware/bios ), but you must use the SAME platform in all 3 stages. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaskOCGuy Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) So a question... Are an ES CPU or Motherboard allowed? If not, I'm totally done in for. LoL Edited August 10, 2021 by SaskOCGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
