I will say a few things about the competition.
1. It was a great help to my standings on the bot (went from 85 National to 60 National and 800 Worldwide to 578 Worldwide). All told I think I gained around 14-15 hardware points from benching this one chip.
2. I had fun.
3. Apparently I don't know all of the little tweaks for UCBench 2011, since I still can't touch keny's submission.
4. Froze myself trying to get better results and/or higher frequencies, and it didn't help. Apparently 60-65°F/16-18°C is not cold enough to make much difference. Eh, at least it helped to cool the room down though, as with the window shut it was getting up to 76-80°F/24-27°C ambient and making me sweat a bit.
5. Keny/Kenny is a tough competitor, even if he claims to be rusty on a particular socket type or CPU. Personal note-don't challenge or accept a challenge from Keny again, the risk of being defeated is too great.
