2013 Autumn Folly
Caps Off Bonus
Two day burn - there is no cap limit at all for this special 2 day part of the contest. Just push your hardware as hard as it can go and show us what you could have done if there had not been such a mean cap. Set by the wicked witch of the South. That is me if you are not sure.
Cooling restrictions still apply of course.
Summer is well and truly behind us and time to start using the cooler weather and get benching.
This time round it is going to be slightly different.
To compete in this contest you need to form a team. One Intel CPU and one AMD CPU. The choice is there to bench solo if you own or have access to both. But the idea is to have a benching buddy and bench as a team.
Both CPU's have to run each of the benchmarks. The two scores are submitted and the points or times are combined.
Benchmarks Wprime 1024 mil
Super Pi 4mil

As always there are limitations. This time it is no different.
