I think cooling won't matter if it is capped at 4 Ghz

mem timings should be static as well ....

That is true if the uncore is capped too. If it's not then cooling matters a ton. We won't have any non sub-zero guys playing if they gotta go against someone with a ss and pushing 4.8ghz+ uncore.

I don't want to cap timings at all. I am curious what guys can find out about how pifast responds to certain timings. Think of this contest as a massive tweak and test session. I know guys with hypers are going to have an advantage, but I think it could still be close. I'm gonna try finishing up some 32m testing tonight and then start on pifast in between 1156 testing. This month is starting to look like fun for me.

if speeds are capped can i use ln2?

If everybody is cool with capping the uncore too then I don't see a problem with it. You sure you want to waist ln2 on a low clock challenge? Why not just buy a $50 cooler?

This is more of a tweakoff guys Bring out your most bad ass 2d OS, tweak the shit out of your ram and learn some new stuff.

sounds good, guys... I need to dust off all my shit and get everything mounted. I haven't even had my board plugged in since it got back from Cali....

If we get enough subs together from this, we could get an efficiency calc together like supi, unless it already exists..

Ok so like this now?

- Any cooling
-CPU cap @ 4ghz sharp
-Uncore @ 4.2ghz sharp
+ all the other rules in post one?

Works for me..... sounds like a lot of fun is going to be had here...

OCA battles.... nothing quite like 'em.

I don't know. Usually I don't pick on the kids who ride the short bus, but it might be fun this time
