i sent you a PM as well.  So just ignore one of us :p.   Congrats on joining up with pure btw!  Those guys are absolute benching machines.  Good luck to you!
 
For anyone else that wishes to bench in warz please PM either me or joey to get info on where to sign up.

forum warz hardware list:
 
1. E760 w/ 980X and 3 gtx 470's (can bench these 1way 2way 3way) 6gig dominators gt 2000mhz.  All on chilled water but nothing insulated.  Cores have been around -7 with no danger of condensation.
 
2. UD3R w/920 or 930 (have both so whichever cpu is needed)
OCZ cas8 1600 (stuff actually oc's pretty good but can be swapped with dominators)
 
I have 1 koolance cpu ln2 pot.
 
cards: 1 gtx 460, 1 gtx 260, 2 9800 gts (I have no blocks for these), 3 gtx 470's w/koolance blocks
 
Hardware can be mixed and matched as needed, but thats what I can work with if you're needing a list of hardware for the warz.

Once again guys please contact me via PM for links on where to post this stuff on 411.  We need one list from the two forums and that will be hosted at 411.  You will also need to register at TRP and I will provide you with that info as well.  MY goal is to have the teams sorted out by sunday the 16th.

That's awesome Nate, you did a great job setting that up wow.

Halo, in your dreams buddy, I still have the top 295 and I will breath new life into it when the time is right ;)

 
Hehehe...

I still have some improvements to make, but it is kinda operational.  Installing the watercooling tonight ;)

Yup you read it right- watercooling the mill (flood coolant)

 
Nice, you mean where the water sprays down on the WB in progress and the bit?

That is awesome!

awalleye, a 980x with 580's would be better. Basically, the formula is this for detirmining class:
 
# of cpu threads + # of gpu cores + cooling type (the handicap are listed in the rules for types) = total #, which tells you what class.
 
So for gpus at least, you want to use the most powerful ones you can, as 1 580 counts the same as 1 450, 2 580s=2 450s etc. So a 980x with a gtx580 would be the same class as a 980x with a gts450.
 
I can try and explain it more/give multiple examples if it is still confusing to you.

EDIT: oh yeah, also, you are allowed unlimited downgrades. Here is an example. You sign up with a 980x, 1 580, and dice (just an example remember). That would be 12(threads)+1(gpu)+3(dice)= 16. That would be class A. That means you are permanently in class A. But, if say dice fails for you, you can go to air cooling, but you are still in class A, even though with air your handicap total would be less. Or if your 980x died, and you used a 920, same thing; you would stay in class A. Basically, once the event goes live, you are in your designated class, but if something goes wrong, you can replace it with lesser parts, but stay in that class.
 
I think you can change up your config until the wars start, you would just have to update where you signed up.

 Ok, Now believe it or not I have been able to hit 1000/2000/2300 clocks on stock air with my 580's, how do I prove they are on stock air? Do I have to commit to certain set ups? Or do what ever and submit? Do all runs have to be run within the date line? Run with proper background and submitted within the date line?  Things change around here often. Sorry to be such a pita.
  Oh jeese when will I stop with the stupid questions.
So do you have to run with all benches or just the ones you want or would it stupid not to run all benches. I also see must be multiple runs of each bench. Assume avg is your score.

 Ok, Now believe it or not I have been able to hit 1000/2000/2300 clocks on stock air with my 580's, how do I prove they are on stock air? Pictures of the setup maybe? I don't think there is a foolproof way of proving it, just be honest. Do I have to commit to certain set ups? Yes and no. Once the competition starts, whatever rigs you have signed up, you need to bench those. But like i said before, you can always downgrade if something goes awry. Or do what ever and submit? Just run the specified benches, and i think we will be submitting on 411's forum, and the forum police from there just validated it. Do all runs have to be run within the date line? They all just have to be done by the time the submitting is closed. Run with proper background and submitted within the date line? Yes. Things change around here often. Sorry to be such a pita. lol np, i guess you could say i am captaining the EVGA part of this 411-EVGA union for Forum Wars, so i want to have everybody know exactly what they need to.

Any more questions, just ask.
 
Oh yes, i don't know if you or others have seen the official rules, so here they are: http://www.theraptorpit.com/forum/index.php?/topic/6161-forum-wars-2011-rules/

 I have read the rules. But somethings just seem vague. Essentially they want honesty which is not a problem.
 Perhaps I will do a video showing cards running and going to monitor showing bench running at same time.

I guess you can if you want. I'm pretty sure honesty should be fine. If you think about it, every result gets scrutinized by each forum's forum cops. So it'd be kinda hard to bs a result with so many people checking.

I think the judges will be able to tell the limits of cooling by the overclock your able to reach.
 
 
Also during the comp could i send anyone my 06 saved offline file and they submit it for link? My 06 code uhh let's just say is not going to work....

awalleyeguy

I have 2 580's and 2 450's 2 460's 980X will be water cooled. 1156 is not etched in stone. Don't want to commit to more than I can deliver.
Thinking 1155 is in though, water or air not sure yet have both available.

Good to know. You should post up at 411. On TRP where the official sign up is, you don't have to put in your rigs yet, just forum(411), name, email, and country. At 411 you should say your possible setups, just notify them that they aren't set in ston yet.
 
For now, i will add you to my list like this:
- i7 980x, 2x 580s, water
- i5 655k, 2x 450s, dice
- i7 2600k, 2x 460s, (air?)
 
This is more just for reference like i said; not set in stone. I just want to get an idea of what we can possibly have setup.

Yea +1 to Threed. I have some DICE experience, and as for prep, i am OCD, so that actually helps lol. I have tons of pics too, from my first DICE run; how i insulated and whatnot. And obviously lots of the other guys have dice ln2 experience (Q, Nate, ect.)

nateman_doo

Q?!  say it ain't so?!  booty.  You will be missed.  Congrats anyhow.  I don't see you leaving here any time soon.

Halo, in your dreams buddy, I still have the top 295 and I will breath new life into it when the time is right ;)

 
Thanks Nate,   and Halo, aint no way you're prying #1 295 away....if worse comes to worse, Nate's bringing his card over to my house, and he can have the credit
