MULTIPLE CHOICE is enabled.


The choices are the following:

Brand and model of water block/heat sink ect.
Ratio of Water block to Pump to Radiator ex 4:2:2= 4 water blocks, 2 pumps, 2 radiators
Total number of case fans not including CPU heatsink fan(s) and graphics card fan.
Thermal grease brand
Processor wattage. Some Conroes will have lower wattage...right?
Motherboard
BIOS version

Options not in the poll that you can vote for by posting the letter code in your post.

CODE---IDEA----------------------------------Person and idea location
A. --------Place and date of purchase. (Golden Tiger in post 2 and 4).




The following info will be mandatory for an OC database submission:

Rating (E6600)
Stepping
Week
Code
CPU speed
Voltage
Cooling type (air, water ect)
User name
 
I'd have to say the brand and model of the waterblock/heatsink, the motherboard, and I think a good one you didn't have would be date purchased/location purchased from :).

Will the date and location really matter once the CPUs are widely available? Why?
This a question, not a statement.
 
So people know where someone ordered a good stepping from :D, and who is shipping what stepping.

Oh I see. I will add that to the first post telling people that is an "official" option and they can
ask for that in their post.
 
One of mine was 'other'. Maybe case to go along with case fans? Too many variables I know, but...

Edit: Come to think of it, I'm not sure temps will be that much of an issue, but we'll see
 
I would personally just keep it simple and ask for like motherboard and BIOS version as well as RAM used. I think total number of case fans and which thermal paste used and stuff like that is a bit much.

Good idea.
What info about the RAM?

Brand, model, speed, and latency? All 4 of those?
 
Here is how it is looking right now. I have inserted the top 4 vote getters.

I would like to get a few more votes before I "close" the poll and make the final database.
 
I just tested other resolutions to see if the above table was too wide. As long as you are
using 1024x768 or up it is viewable without scrolling, so I don't think it will be wider than the
above sample.

Yeah, i would include brand, model, speed, and latency set for the memory. That will give people an idea on what kind of RAM overclocks they're getting on certain boards as well.
 
RAM would be a good addition to the database. Other than that it looks really solid

Okay here is what I am gonna do with RAM.

Brand, rated speed designation number thingy (6400, 5400), actual speed, and latency.

I don't want to include model number becuase memory model numbers are very long and the
graph would become to long to display well in the forums.
TWIN2X2048-5400C4PRO

So here is what the final database table will look like:

You may notice I took out the gain column and listed the stock processor speed under the
processor name. I think you guys can do the math.
 
Looks nice. If you want to save some space you might be able to combine the brand/model of motherboards and cooling into one block, but that's just being nitpicky. It looks like there is a lot of information for the database (as long as you keep updating it :D ).
 
I think the only truly necessary bit is the motherboard brand and model. It's crucial because it varies from person to person and has a huge effect on the overclock.
 
Looks good mentok but i would combine the block/heatsink brand and model column as well as the motherboard brand and model column. You could just keep it simple and list "block/heatsink" and "motherboard" and people will surely be smart enough to list the brand and model both. And for the RAM columns i would do like "RAM" for the brand and model and "RAM default clock", "RAM current clock", "RAM timings". It's up to you though dude and it looks good so far.

You read my mind with everything but the RAM model number.
RAM model numbers can often be very long and if you want to know what model of RAM
someone used send them a PM or check their sig.

I added Kyle's OC and changed some stuff so the graph is not so long.

Ram Model Number.

yea corsair 6400 doesn't say much....pick which of the 20 you are talking about

I explained why I am not putting the model number in the database in the post above yours.
It is not gonna happen. If you want the model number of the RAM use the user name and
go ask the person with a private message, or look in their signature.

what is with week and code? It doesn't seem to have any entries and is cluttering the list.

It tells you when the processor was made and in what batch.
It will be filled in for all entries or else the entries will not remain in the database.
The only reason the entries you see are in there is because no one has officially posted their
overclock yet. I got the above data from here.
