The Challenge - ROG Super Pi efficiency

Post your best 32 mil and 1 mil times.
Both submissions must be run at the same CPU frequency.
Memory frequency is capped at 2400 MHz. Not one MHz more. 🙂
Open to AMD and Intel users.
Both submissions are rated for efficiency and the efficiency rating for each benchmark combined.
The winner has the best efficiency total.

Requirements
Air and Water cooling only, for memory and CPU - No sub zero cooling allowed.
A photo of your benching rig must accompany your submission.
Contest is only open to ROG Supreme OC team members - your entry must include your HWBOT profile link. 🙂
Each submission must have the wallpaper that Chris designed for this challenge.
Each submission must comply with the HWBOT rules for submission.
Each submission must have the motherboard tab of CPUz open.


Prize

There is a CPU or kit of Ram up for grabs.

The CPU will be either a:

or

I will let the winner decide which prize they need or want the most.

You learnt something did you not? That is a gain in my view.

Not sure what format yet Chino, but am open to suggestions.

Bare in mind that some folks have 4 cards to play with, so anything goes can be hectic unless there is a handicap system.

A 3d challenge is pretty hard to do because of so many factors.And for vantage it matter what card,how many,what cpu,4 or 6 core etc.

If i were to make a very nice challenge for 3d,i would choose 3dmark 2001.Old school.Put a cap on nature fps and let;s go tweaking 🙂

Hello, guys, it seems that I'm failing to supply with the video HiVizMan was asking for... I've got very busy with my work and it is difficult to get physically to my TestBench these days... Will make the video as soon as possible, of course, just it may not be in time...

So, I was thinking to withdraw my submissions from this challenge... remaining a participant only but not being a contestant... - my results should not count on the board from now...

I'm really sorry for not being able to go all the way until the end! It was a great fun and I did learn a lot - thank you HiVizMan for doing this for us! I hope that there will be many more challenges like this... 🙂

Super PI lucky draw list.

As per the sandbagging discussion a few weeks ago, no new participants to this challenge will be considered. But please those who have submitted an entry do try and knock out the current leader off the top of the Leader board. So to repeat only those who have already submitted may submit further attempts.

Who knows what rabbits he will pull out of his Romanian hat if he is challenged. 😮

These are what I most remember from my visits to Bucharest.

Can not remember how to say the name and certainly can not spell it, but man alive are they good to eat. It is bread that is cooked over a charcoal rotisserie, then sliced. I liked them with cinnamon and sugar with a hot chocolate.
