Yeah, I didn't really understand that feb 1 start date of posting stock scores.

 just run all said bench's at default setting's for stock scoring. if i read it right you may after that start your over clocking scoring you just cant submit them till the overclocking scoring starts which is about 2 weeks from the feb 1st start.
 
i have a question about cpuz can i or we use eleet as the cpuz or no

only thing about eleet is...it wont show your voltage...but it will work for validation.

i dont think the voltage showing isnt a big deal. more of the said app to show core speed and mem. it is just a thought

wasn't saying it to say it was a big deal, but to only say...that's what is missing.  eleet has always been accepted, dont see why it would stop now....

Okay so whats the best way to insulate a HK v.3 cpu block?  I used eraser before and the condensation was coming through.  I tried putting the frostking foam over the eraser and that didn't work so well but it could have been my method.  I was kinda experimenting at the time and didnt really give it a good effort.  What do you guys do?

Try using masking tape on your block covering the copper/metal, with armaflex not frostking over the tape. Armaflex sticks better and should hold to the tape really well. Make sure you don't have any gaps between the block and the eraser around your cpu. I find it best to use paper towels with a hole in the middle cut out for the CPU placed over the eraser or a 4x4' armaflex cut-out.

  Also its important after all this to make sure you still have good contact with the block and CPU. Do the paste spread test drop a pea size or small dot in the middle of the CPU mount the block tighten it down and pull it back off to make sure the paste spread over the CPU. Hope this helps.

 

Haha I usually do a dot of paste the first time I prep something just to make sure before booting the rig. For something like a chiller or SS they don't change much so not much need to worry later down the road. When I do DICE I check the mount everytime lol it's annoying but every bit of -C means I might be able to overclock it that much higher
 
I agree the bios tuning is very helpful, but I get lazy with my chiller and don't do it every time.

Thanks for the info guys.  I was thinking the armaflex might be better.  CPU temp has been down to -18C in bios and the cores were at -4 to -7 in realtemp with no sign of condensation.  Thats with running the chiller off and on.  Mother nature is of coarse helping out right now with the cold and dry ;)

Threed, i think that is just the # of bullets Vokl put up. But im pretty sure we can have as many people as we want.

Thats correct, please feel free to join up!  We are working on getting our classes sorted right now and should have a loose roster posted up soon.

 Join John join.
This is my first ever competition, ever.

Same, it should be fun!

you should have put 411...we are all uniting under 411 for the contest

johnksss

was waiting on a "here is how you change it to 411" speech...lol

 
Just go to Raymo's profile and ask him to change it for you, or delete it so you can redo it correctly. That's how I fixed mine.

Wow this may have been the farthest i have ever seen this thread go down the page.

dice is a bust for me after moving, thought I had a place that sold it about 30 min away but looks like they have closed down and the next closest is about 2hrs away, but thank god for Iowa winters I am working on a cold box for outside so that I can do the old fashioned Q56 method.

yea, its been slow prior to the posting of this forum war.  No dice?!  can't you find a place online to ship it?  maybe LN2 someplace??  you know the dice will survive the 2 hours trip ;)
just get a large block, and brake off what you need.

John, i just noticed, you haven't posted in the thread at 411 that you will be competing. That thread is so we can sort out classes. It is here: http://www.411overkill.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=123&t=7679&p=95704
