2013 Autumn Folly


Caps Off Bonus

28791

Two day burn - there is no cap limit at all for this special 2 day part of the contest. Just push your hardware as hard as it can go and show us what you could have done if there had not been such a mean cap. Set by the wicked witch of the South. That is me if you are not sure.

Cooling restrictions still apply of course.





Summer is well and truly behind us and time to start using the cooler weather and get benching.

This time round it is going to be slightly different.

To compete in this contest you need to form a team. One Intel CPU and one AMD CPU. The choice is there to bench solo if you own or have access to both. But the idea is to have a benching buddy and bench as a team.



Both CPU's have to run each of the benchmarks. The two scores are submitted and the points or times are combined.

Benchmarks

Wprime 1024 mil

Super Pi 4mil

ROG Realbench

Futuremark


As always there are limitations. This time it is no different.

Rules


  • Air or Water cooling only - no sub ambient.
  • Same CPU for all benchmarks
  • Screenshot to include CPUz main tab, memory tab and motherboard tab
  • Offical background to be used
  • Intel CPU cap
    Sandybridge 5000
    Ivybridge 4700
    Haswell 4400
    SB-E 4900

  • AMD CPU cap

No need to harm your hardware like that.

I am more than happy to play along, after all who among us appreciates folly more than I .. oh that's correct all of 'we'.
But I find myself in need of an Intel Team Buddy for this .. any takers ? I can only promise to do my best.
Let's ROG.
