Hope they dont Over volt the ram with the core i7. LOL! that would be kinda funny if someone melted a memory controller. Well at least they didnt have to pay for the processor.

I recommend to instead use 'silicone' sealant to coat the motherboard, as 'silicon' sealant is many orders of magnitude harder to apply.

All jokes aside, silicon sealant does describe the function.

The grand prize includes a $5,000 gift certificate to the online shopping site of the winning team’s choice.

It will be curious to see how long they will be able to hold a stable O.C., not just hitting the mark and then toasting their system.

Can't wait to see the results!

The closest one is Taiwan

Well, no offense to our beloved French team. But you know...the Taiwanese are Asian. This gives them like a 10% performance boost.

Who needs that $5000 gift certificate when you've got an unlimited supply of R404A at your disposal...

Not 100% sure if I have the same model PSU...mine is the PC P&C S61EPS 610W and looks identical with the same specs as well.

With this in the description: The Silencer 610 EPS12V provides 610 W of continuous power supply and a peak supply of 670 W. It incorporates a unique ultra-quiet cooling design, with no obstruction at the fan inlet and a noise suppression air gap. Dunno if it's the same as the 'silencer' or not. Either way I can say I never hear my psu over my case and cpu fans (all 120mm Scythe Slipstreams). I'm a bit let down that the internal components and build quality weren't taken into account. No matter, I'm very content nonetheless. I bought mine from newegg about a month ago for $68 after 20% off promo code from an email and a MIR as well...that plus free shipping to boot, it was an easy decision. On a side note I could really care less about a few % difference in efficiency, I'm more interested in internal build quality and long term reliability.
