I think some kind of ‘Pimax Certified VR Knowledgeable’ label on the forums might be nice. For some of us, it might be a useful thing to put on our resumes, a bit like Hurricane Electric IPv6 certifications. Doesn’t have to mean much beyond, that we participated in the contest, and showed in some way that we were knowledgeable.
I realize of course such things can be complicated. Just an idea.
I think a nice prize would be the top AMD Zen 3 CPU, Ryzen 9 5950X paired with the best compatible motherboard. Anything that helps us get the best performance with our 8KX.
Ah, yes, but I don’t want to be rude! If I did that, I would be sure to note the reason - buying pre-binned chip for DCS World, etc - in the auction advertisement…
Having little prior CPU OC experience, within about 5 minutes of turning on the machine, with their CPU, officially ‘approved’ motherboard, and compact air cooler, I was running this i9-9900kf with their 5.1GHz all-core specifications…
CPU Multiplier 51
CPU VCore 1.312V
AVX Offset 2
My records (printed out and kept in the machine case) show I have also reached 5.3GHz, and 5.2GHz stable.
Wholy cr… you are willing to pay them a pricepremium of approx $280USD + $50 for delidding and to have them create a spreadsheet for you to follow to OC a CPU?
Yes not all CPU’s are the same, some clock slightly lower but cmon…
Guess you have alot of $$$ to burn… each to his own I guess.
No, I do not. I burned more cash (and much more time) desperately trying to avoid this. And in the end, the OC and delidding probably is the only reason I could get away with air cooling for my applications at the time…
In the end though, I had a portable machine, air cooled, that I could take to the roadshow, and it just worked.
