Greetings fellow THF members!
So today I thought that with all the new hype about the new hardware (ie. ATI 4800s,etc) it would be appropriate for us to hold a overclocking contest. As far as I know this is the first mass overclocking competition in the history of THF.
=============================================================
The current overclocking competition is divided in to two:
GPU overclocking
CPU Overclocking
RULES
+DO NOT TRY AND CHEAT! (ie. No PhotoShoping benchmark results to make it look better,etc)
+ You must submit a CPUZ and/or GPUZ verified link for all of your overclocks
+ If many people start to dispute a persons findings or shows proof of cheating their submissions will be invalid and will loose my respect
+ You must submit valid screen shots of all benchmarks listed in the particular section
+ No one is responsible for damage (software/hardware, etc) caused by this competition
+ Due to demand NO LN2 or extreme cooling.
GPU Overclocking:
The winner will be chosen by the following criteria:
***You MUST submit a GPUZ validated link***
+ The percent of the overclock from the stock settings
+ 3DMark06 score (no 3DMark Vantage please)
+ How hard/easy is it to overclock a particular GPU to a certain limit
*Bonus will be awarded for the following*
+ Methods used for overclocking (ie voltmods)
+ Stability (ATiTool "Scan Artifact test for x number of hours or other 3D Stability test)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CPU Overclocking:
The winner will be chosen by the following criteria:
***You MUST submit a CPUZ validated link***
+ PCMark05 score
+ Supper Pi time (Supper Pi v1.5 mod XS can be downloaded here)
+ SiSoftware Sandra Lite Arithmetic and Multimedia benchmarks (Sandra XII SP2; can be downloaded here)
+ How hard/easy is it to overclock a particular CPU to a certain limit
+ At least 7hrs of Prime95 (Small FFT) Stable.
*Bonus will be awarded for the following*
+ Methods used for overclocking (ie voltmods)
+ Stability ( Prime95 test for 7+x number of hours or other CPU stability test)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRIZES
=First, Second,Third prices will be chosen by the members of THF through a poll once the competition dead line is reached. I will decide the top 15 people who will enter the THF user poll that will complete for the top three places=
+ Be known as a overclocking king for 2008.
+ Will receive a image with their THF user name that they can include in their signature (see below) *
+ Will gain the respect of many THF members, as well as my respect for your skill.
+ Bragging rights
* If you are interested in designing a template for the image for the signature please PM me. I will need 6 unique designs. The images must be 400*35 with space for the user name.
The competition will start 5/1/2008. Current dead line is 5/31/2008.
Good luck to all!
