    Default Overclocking Competition!!!

    Just a friendly competition including the PC's at my LAN event, versus the TBCS Crowd!!!

    This is not an official contest by TBCS, this is a Diluzio91 thing at this exact moment.

    What does everyone want to use for benchmarking? We have to agree on standard benchmarks and settings before hand. Chip in guys!!

    As of now the rules are:

    Entries must be submitted in the following format.

    Owner's Name
    Spec's in Plain text
    Photo of the computer being entered
    CPUZ and GPUZ screen shots of the computer in the photo
    Screen shots of the results of the benchmarks (TBD)


    Don't be a cheater. If the rig belongs to someone else please say so, for example, i'll be posting the computer's of my customers, but I will make note of the owner of the computer.

    The benches will be split into 2 categories for those of you who don't have DX11 Hardware


    So far for benches
    Heaven (DX11 and DX9)
    3d Mark 11 (DX11 Cards)
    3d Mark vantage (DX9 Cards)

    Sounds fun. I'm swapping my setup to D5s this week, so I can actually run for more than five minutes at a time. My DDCs both ate it.

    I'm in, I should be able to push my i7-960 a bit. Got it to 4GHz on the stock intel cooler but now it's under water with my 6870

    I would think so. Most of these benches are total system performance measurements.

    Just went through three reservoirs that leaked like sieves. I'm down for AT LEAST one more week. BTW, I hate Primochill right now.
