I think its only fair to give you guys a few details right now.

There will be a maximum speed of somewhere between 4-5GHz and we will allow only water or air on the board/cpu. As for hardware restrictions, you will be able to use any cpu/mobo/ram/gpu combo you wish as long as it is only ambient cooled and your cpu does not exceed our limit. All of you will also be required to use our desktop background and have a photo of your bench rig with the monitor with that desktop in the background. We will have run sims with our best iterations, so we will know what to look for to keep everyone flying straight...not that we feel it will become an issue with our boys, but this is a big deal and we realize whats at stake.
Also there will be TWO benchmarks and your scores will be added, so the lowest overall time takes the trophy. To mix it up, we will be offering a added prize for the overclocker who holds the top spots the longest during the contest, so don't sandbag or procrastinate. I will expand on all of the details on Sunday.

Same rig for both benches? (Not that it will be an issue for me, I doubt my AMD setup will have any chance of competing LOL)

Read the first post Dom. Your personal total as it would appear in your bot sig. So if you do not have more than 150 global (with the max of 300 hardware boints allowed by hwbot)= You are good to run buddy!

As for different rigs, I think you can use anything you want for each test as long as it is ambient cooled. ie NO chilled water, pouring ln2 on nb cooler or cpu cooler, ect..
