The limitation is single core, which is something we stored in the database. So, you will not be able to use a Phenom II X4 or Core i7 and disable cores.

 

I've added the clarification that you cannot unlock cores.

Thank you Pieter.

 

 

This is a nice stage, pure skilled involved, and a little bit of luck in finding a good CPU. The best part, CPU's for this round cost ~25-30 Euros, so everybody can join. Great!

This would be a blast to see, most of the Cedars didn't get bellowe 40s afaik. However, with this competition we might see some scores unheard of before, exactly from CPU's like this one!

it has to be a native single core CPU; from what I understand by the rule:)

 

Native... that means is has to PHYSICALLY be a SINGLEcore? So a dual core with a disabled core - unlockable or not - is not allowed..? If so, that would disqualify Sempron 140, Conroe-L and any AM2 singlecore.

 

...or am I way off here?

Well, I hope that too, that is why I said that, to motivate you :D

 

I have some plans... the FX57 isn included in those:p

 

Need 3.93GHz or so for the magic sub-39s. I remember I ran it at 3773 on dryice without pushing it, but the last time I tried it I could barely hit 4ghz. However, some FX53 I tried just after hit a wall at 3760 or so, and when I fooled around with it a couple of weeks ago on a different board I could get 3900 easily.:) Maybe the same "bug" affected that FX57;)
