It is something that has been taken to the admins so only tell will tell on this. A good suggestion though!

Well here goes my effort, i am sure the stuff i have done will make the people who actually know what there doing cringe. I am very much a novice.

(lets hope i have done this right)
Oh cooling is a H50, with twin vipers push pull.
I shouldn't really say anything as it's me you pushed into second
and I would love one of the MSI graphics cards but you need to add your CPU-Z validation link. Also your CPU-Z screenshot looks like there is a missing line through it, maybe not rendered fully or if you used Paint or something you maybe painted over that part by mistake.

I set up my new Sandybridge system with an MSI board last night so I may have a go at this, never overclocked before though

My replacement 2500k is on it's way, my damaged one is being replaced free of charge And it was a faulty CPU is all they could tell me and not because of my overclock phew. So will be trying again once I get it all up and running.

What better to look after your current customers ? Something everyone seems to forget these days. Besides you can buy a board and enter, there is nothing stopping you.
Maybe send a mail to gigabyte or whoever it is and say hey look what MSI is doing for there customers, what are you going to do.
Fair play to MSI, i would buy there products again for sure, many boards are so close in specs and performance anyway these sort of things tip the scale. Nothing but sour grapes from some people.

With SB processors there is no advantage core speed wise to going with LN2 or even Dry Ice - a good water cooled system will max out all PCU's. I benched WPrime 1024 at 5.7GHz on water. Cold does nothing to aid the overclock achieved. Cold might prolong the life of the CPU but that is all. Chilled water would be as good an option.
Question to the organisers. Where is the leader board or a list of submitted results I could not find one.

any cooling method is allowed but as 1Day correctly noted, there no significant advantage to be gained from LN2.
new members are just as welcome as existing
no leaderboard yet, but there will be once we have a decent number of starting entries.

Is there a prize for the best female overclocker? I might be in with slightly more chance then? And no I am not one for equality

@HiVizMan "I bench for BenchTec UK"
Kinda sucks that someone can just join this forum for the sole purpose of winning this competition and posting high overclocks having not contributed or ever likely to contribute anything towards this forum. There should have been a minimum post/time put on this to stop such people IMO. Aw well always the lucky draw to win I suppose

Possibly you assume things which are not quite accurate. But I accept it is a fair comment none the less based on your perspective. As it certainly looks like that I will agree.
Time will certainly show if I have contributed at all.
Right now I can contribute to this contest.
My updated submission and a personal best.

Well it's not very fair to have someone come here just to post for this competition and for the 5ghz + overclock league imo.
