Come on... I know you guys can overclock, so let's put together a team of players.

we need 20 rigs to try to win the overall, but 2 decent teams (A & B) would be good too.

Players so far...
Zaltan
godfoot
Killert
4x0n
Cpt.Planet (UE)
s1ugh34d
$SOLID$ Necro
eascarface
THRASHER2
reflux

If interested sign up here....
We still need a mod or admin to coordinate (not alot to do)
And need a forum cop to help validate some scores (2 or more would be better)
we have alot of forums joined already and some dandy prizes to give away too.

The Raptor Pit is sponsoring the event.
just google (forum wars 2007 or The Raptor Pit) to find the rules
I dont want to be banned for posting outside links
Thanks everyone

hope you join the fun

I cannot honestly dedicate the time to administering anything, at least not for the next month or 2.
I can find time to OC on the weekends though and maybe a little at night.

Zaltan... with an A.

If I have time count me in on the B team.

I've asked Necro if he wants to get in on this. Hopefully he will.

Im an A too

Oh, lol. Well Im still an A teamer

I guess im in ultra extreme or w/e the top one is above A.

Ultra Extreme(UE) = Forums extreme cooling,E samples, unreleased hardware Players
A Team = Forums Best 4 players (with conventional cooling)
B-F Teams = 4 players per team (with conventional cooling)
ONLY (A, B, C, D & E) Teams are figured into the Overall Winner

I'm going to be on team C, D & E

Whats this mean?

Just trying to get someones attention...

Everybody does a stock score 1st when we begin.... (I'll explain why in a moment)
you have 3 weeks to post and try to recruit more players to join your team.
You MUST Post a set of stock scores by July 20th (Everybody)
We then spend a week figuring your rosters and Team Names and submitting them by July 27th.
The we OC our rigs begining July 28th til Aug 18th.
When you submit your overclocked score you replace your stock score in the team scoring.
This way, if a player drops out, the team doesn't take a zero for his score.
A stock score is low, but it's still a score....
When you update your Overclocked scores, you dont have to sumit all new test results...
Just the best scores you got on every test....
The teams A,B,C ect... are filled out from "A" (four players) then "B" (next four players) and so on.....
If we cant find a mod, then I can help... but will need somebody to help verify scores.

Here's the rule's

Welcome to Forum Wars 2007
There have been a few changes since last year, so please read on...
We have added the "Ultra Extreme(UE)" Class for ES,extreme cooling & unreleased hardware.
We have Reduced the number of players per team to 4.
Added a few more bench's and a big name sponsor (GEIL Memory)

20 players is your Forum's Ideal Number. Why???
It's better in the overall ranking to have some rigs on the C, D & E teams because all the rankings from those teams are
part of the puzzle of winning the Overall. You want to have your teams balanced... Getting the #1 Ranking in the B
Competition is great, but if you took a good rig from your B Team and moved it to your C or D Team you might go up a few
spots in the rankings for Overall Winner. So there's a little bit of stratagy going on for the Forum Leaders.
There is plenty of room for all to play, but Teams (A,B,C,D,E) only count toward the "Overall Winner".
Teams B,C,D,E,F,G... etc will all play for the "B Crown"
"A Teams" for the "A Crown"
"Ultra Exreme (UE)" for the "UE Crown"

(1) The Bench's......
3d01, 3d03, 3d05, Aquamark, Crystalmark(v9.12.320 or later), Super Pi 1mb(v1.5 or later)

(2) The Dates......
--June 29th friday til July 20th (3 weeks)
We open for stock posting (ALL PLAYERS MUST POST TO ENTER)

--July 21st til the 27th (1 week)
All Forums assemble their Rosters and individual Team Names

--July 28th til Aug 18th (3 weeks)
We go to WAR!!!

All deadlines are on 11:59 CST US & Mexico

(3) The Scoring......
Points System will go like this..
3d01 = actual score
3d03 = actual score
3d05 = score x 3
Aquamark = score divided by 2
CM ALU = actual score
CM FPU = actual score
CM MEM = actual score
Super Pi = 10 seconds = 110,000 thru minimum 50,000 for 34 seconds or higher
All Teams will have their scores added then divided by the # of Players for a Team Score.

(4) Teams and Catagories......
Ultra Extreme(UE) = Forums extreme cooling,E samples, unreleased hardware Players
A Team = Forums Best 4 players (with conventional cooling)
B-F Teams = 4 players per team (with conventional cooling)
ONLY (A, B, C, D & E) Teams are figured into the Overall Winner

(5) The Winners......
Ultra Extreme Class (only UE Class)
A Teams (only A Teams)
B Teams (B,C,D,E,F Teams)
Overall Winner (best combination based on final Rankings from teams A,B,C,D & E (UE,F,G.... are not included)
Tiebreakers...no Quads, Then less # of Conroes, Then less # of Non SLI Rigs, Then the Coinflip...

(6) The Prizes......
GEIL USA MEMORY has informed us that they will sponsor this event.
Maximum PC will be a major Sponsor as well...

(7) The Rules.......
Entry posting deadline is July 20th NO EXCEPTIONS.
Any OS can be used for any bench.
The Ultra Extreme(UE) class has no teams, but you are playing for your forum
A thru E Teams on down are 4 man teams.
Quadcores will not be allowed in the C thru F classes.
NO UPGRADES during the contest, None... Period! (But RMA's are ok, subject to validation for the same hardware).
2 Rigs are allowed per player...
But you cannot have them both on the "A Team" and the 2nd Rig must have a different CPU and Reduced VGA.
Reduced VGA means if you use SLI, you cannot use the same set up on your 2nd Rig, you can only use 1 card.
But if you have a lesser set of VGA cards... thats OK!
Conventional cooling is defined as... Air, Water, Chiller & Peltier (above 0c/32f)
Phase (Vapo), LN2, DICE & Cascades are ONLY allowed in the Ultra Extreme (UE) Class.
Forum Police can deny any posted score if not properly submitted (see how to post below)
The Forum Admins are the local Judges and the forum Police will vote on Questionable scores
at "TRP" in the "Forum Wars Admin" Forum. This forum will be password protected.
All Forum Police will be registered in our Database and all scores will be entered into the database
then transferred to our spreadsheet. Then tabulated and posted on the TRP website (usually twice a week).
***No Unreleased hardware may be used in Team Scoring...
For rigs not competing in the UE class, motherboard, CPU, and Video Card must be available in the retail sector before July 18th. Compliance may consist of showing that an e-retailer lists the part as available or through provision of an invoice showing purchase on or before July 18th. (allowing 2 days for mail) Posting Deadline July 20th
But E Samples and and banned cooling scores will be on the Top Scores listing (but do not count in team listings)

What are the rules for UE class on changing cooling? Say i wanna run ln2 one day dry ice the next and the next phase?

I am going to mae a few runs, but not with my current hardware, it's on a E4300 and a 6800 Ultra.

New hardware on the way...but it's gonna be a few weeks before I'm ready

godfoot, Killert, 4x0n, Cpt.Planet, s1ugh34d, $SOLID$ Necro and myself isn't enough! We need more people. 12 more to be exact! Come guys, should be fun!

I think I can be A team now... I have a new Conroe board on the way (DFI RD600, don't make any negative comments please it was cheap). And I'll have my old E6600 (stolen from my dad, just to bench with), also I might be able to get an E6750 ES (through my work). Video Card would be my old 7900GS (again stolen from my dad, I sold him my old computer to buy music equipment). Cooling water or air. And i have a few kits of good DDR2.

If I can get up the money to buy a new motherboard I'll join in, but with the ECS I've got now I can't do anything.

Well..are we allowed to enter more than one PC? lol

If so..I can use my E4300 rig with a single 6800 Ultra..actually that may be what I end up entering with, if the other rig isn't done in time.

T2 is Joining the Fun "HIDE ALL YOUR HARDWARE" before i BENCH IT!
