Benching contest to raise money for CRASH's work in Japan

[Bobnova]

Kal-El has put a contest together to raise money for the CRASH program in japan (which Miah's working with/for right now), it costs $5 to enter and all $5 of that goes to CRASH. There are a variety of prizes and such.
It's a very cool thing, and I think that plenty of y'all should enter!



(Plus right now I'm in the lead and just have to post a screenshot...)

Heh....

Leave it to you Ed to find a way to get me right back into benching after this past "weekend to forget"....

I will surely join... Doubt that I will win, but it will still be fun.

 

[Bobnova]

Haha! Knew it was only a matter of time.

My odds are pretty poor too, but I'm going to give it a shot. It's a good cause, and most of the prizes are random-drawing anyway

 

[ChanceCoats123]

This is definitely a SB competition.

 

[EarthDog]

Its too bad I BLOW in 01....but its for a good cause. As soon as I have $5 paypal, I will jump on over.

 

[bennoculus]

Man I wish I had $5 in PayPal so I could join up and have some fun.

Who knows, maybe I'll run into $5 on PP hopefully

I was trying to get a few runs in for this, last night. I had a hard time getting 3d01 to run. It seems that the test had a hard time running on any thing over 5.2 ghz on my 955 on ln2. I used the rest of the dewar just trying to get a decent run. Then I screwed up the screenshot of my best run. Pretty bad benching session but I wasn't competitive with my hardware anyways. I need tons of work on my 3d stuff (if I ever get a cpu decent for 3d.)

 

[xsuperbgx]

i actually didn't get any screenshot over 4.0....
The first run that completed had a score of ~75000.

Spi 32 I got a decent result but did not have enough juice to tweak at all.



Oh well. I guess those are good enough to qualify for the drawing. (a tek-9 or a p67mobo would be nice....

Bobnova you won in the last day...congrats btw.

 

[Bobnova]

Well look at that, I've been reading the wrong thread!
Thanks for the heads up.

I won a waterblock. So guess I will try my hand at watercooling.

 

[Bobnova]

I won a case of ramen-ish instant noodles. I may cook some in my koolance v2.

 

[saint19]

At least you won something

 

[xsuperbgx]

is there any cpu's that are capable of running at 100C? That would be awesome to boil water on a running cpu and make some soup....
That would be something unusual to put up on the front page.

 

[Bobnova]

Pretty much everything intel throttles at that point, so you could do it.
It'd take a while though, 100w of CPU as opposed to a kw of stove.

 

[xsuperbgx]

maybe put hot or boiling water in it get it hot enough to maintain a boil. maybe a gpu pot would work. There were many claims of fermi's being hot as an oven. That could have been another silly amd commercial.

 

[saint19]

I've seen some P IV CPUs running at those temps.
