I think we're getting a little too micro managed here! I mean, how many of us could have LN2 pots for RAM anyway ???? I think it's a non issue that doesn't need to be needlessly added to the rules dammit!!!!!

Air/Water is fine.... I really dont see anyone doing it but we should stick this to rules taht will allow everyone to be competitive.

In that case, I think the speed should be lowered to 3Ghz so I can use my laptop Also, no tweaking allowed because there are so many people that are better tweakers than I am

I mean, fair is fair

TBH - I only froze my RAM once and didn't notice much if any difference. Hadn't planned on using the Dominator pot anyway. BUT - since most of us don't have RAM water cooling I think RAM needs to be air cooled only, in the name of fairness of course

Guys..... we once again WILL NOT be splitting hairs here.... cooling on any installed item is limited to air/water.

It's all good. Was just looking for clarrification. Guess I'll have to wait for the rules to be posted so I don't ruffle anyone elses feathers.

no ruffling just have seen where this can turn into a big debate where everyone wants each piece of hardware they dont have disallowed....

Next thing you know there will be requests to limit Memory to 1333MHz because thats the fastest dimms they have.

I want it to be fair cpu to cpu.... an even limit that most should be able to reach and then the rest is up to the bencher.

No feathers ruffled here Just playing the Devil's advocate

My pappy once told me, "son ... no one ever said that life was fair" Life has taught me that my pappy was right. Best to set down the rules, and get to it

BTW, can you have the rules finished by tonight so my lawyer has time to review them before the challenge begins I say, I say, that was a joke, son ... (famous quote of which celebrity?)
