Rookie Rumble AMD #7

Welcome to the Rookie Rumble! We assume you arrived here via as an AMD fan and that’s great but the OC world offers more. The Rumble introduces you to competitive overclocking. It’s a contest only for new overclockers like you. Good luck!

There are three stages, each with the same hardware restrictions but featuring a different benchmark. The benchmarks are: CPU % OC, HWBOT Prime, and MaxxMem Read Bandwidth. You can gather points by submitting in each of the three stages. The better the result, the more points you acquire and the higher you'll rank overall! Note that the validation process for the benchmarks is slightly different. Check out the rules section to learn more or drop us a message on our forums if you have a question.

ryofatal1ty I was looking at your verification screenshot for the HWBOT prime mark and I noticed you only had one cpu-z window with your mobo info on it. In future I suggest you get screenshots with 3 cpu-z windows open with one on cpu, one on mainboard and one on memory as not doing this may result in a blocked submission.

I've informed the member.

 

FYI, you can also check out this competition on our new platform: http://oc-esports.io/#/round/rookie_rumble_amd_7 :)

No, using water 20°C ! With a good waterblock !

October 11, 2014 at 7:48:48 PM GMT

20°C begin to be max ambient temperature here in France ^^

October 12, 2014 at 7:18:08 PM GMT

whats difference between phase cooling cpu directly and phase cooling water tank? i assume it would get similar results?!

 

October 15, 2014 at 12:15:34 PM GMT

I'm developing a platform where a system compresses and expands coolant in sort of the same way a refrigerator works. I have designed it so it can be mounted directly on the heatsink under the fan or before the intake fans of the case after being filtered through a package that strips air of its humidity. I was wondering if this would still be considered air cooling?

 

Also I was thinking of experimenting with the same two systems except instead of refrigeration cooling, I am going to use a sealed endothermic reaction between two chemicals, hint: one of them is water ;). Is this also technically air cooling?

October 16, 2014 at 12:49:24 AM GMT

Hehe, can't believe the Rookies are making us consider chemical properties of cooling substances :).

 

I like how innovative you guys are becoming. Let me check with the Head of Moderating today :)
