Ok heres the scoop guys....
I came up with an idea to make this a fun little competition for everyone. I also found a way to make it somewhat more fair to everyone.
Comp 1: This is an Underclock/Overclock Competition. The idea is to show the biggest improvement compared to everyone else.
Underclock your PC to its lowest and post a 3dmark 06 Screenshot with gpuz, cpuz and your name then....
Overclock your PC to its highest and post another 3dmark 06 Screenshot with gpuz, cpuz and your name.
the person with the biggest change in score will win something from Fits prize closet.
now some rules are...
must be the same machine with the same hardware
machine must be stable enough to run the benchmark and obtain the screenshot with the required info
photoshoping will disqualify you permanently. i DO know how to spot a 'shop
Comp 2 is what i call a "Chill" comp.
the idea here is use whatever you may have to obtain a valid "HwMonitor" screenshot of your cpu running the lowest possible temperature.
requirements for entries in this comp are...
Must post a valid screenshot with "HwMonitor" showing your cpu temp.
you must also provide a picture of how you got the temperature(your setup) and a brief description of what you did.
extreme cooling devices like phase change, dry ice, and liquid nitrogen will not be accepted. i know the reasonable temperature range thats attainable with non-extreme cooling setups and cold air so dont try to pull a fast one with LN2 and say "its cold out today"
