"ambient" to us means your standard living environment temperatures. We expect to see temps in the low 30c's and up. We do not want to crowd your processes for SPi especially, so you do NOT have to run real temp thru your test, just before you screenshot.

Also got links up on contest thread for SPi 1.5, PiFast, CPUZ and Real Temp to be used....and who is eligible to compete! GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY BROS!!!

^just always keep your best scores posted bro

This is one mean contest with super awesome prizes from the generous OCA's top hitters...I guess this is one contest for which even buying hardware is worth it, :)

One question here though, I guess we will require a 920/930/950 etc. to win?? coz efficiency wise 980X is a laggard, right??

i just thought it starts monday but the first points wont be untill tuesday right ?

right, you can start submitting tomorrow at 8pm pst. OC will get the wallpaper posted sometime tomorrow.

We wont count who has the fastest submission till tuesday night at 8pm pst


@ banik you were over the limit by .1 points man ;) we let it slide.
980x will be able to rip faster mem speed on a water/air cooler though. Honestly its anyones games, lynnfield, clarkie, bloomfield...etc all have a chance.

No love for AMD *sigh...maybe bulldozer will change that (doubtful)

This is what I will start banging on...never ran a 8M in my life so I have no clue.
