HWBOT Competitions

Wallpaper for bonus round?

Start date will be the 5th of August till the 31st of October. Verification rules will be expanded versus the regular standard offical HWBot rules: CPU-Z tabs for CPU, Mainboard and Memory (+SPD for the memory stage) Verification Screenshots are always full screen, no removal of taskbar, no clipping,... Retail hardware only (also for motherboards) No S771 to 775 adapters Competition Background must be visible To avoid the drama of last year, picture(s) of the RUNNING OC setup has to be added with each submission For all 3DMark benchmarks the latest Systeminfo has to be installed (have verification files at hand) Only si…

Dear Administration, please, explain to me.

Hi, With the 1070, 1080 and Vega 56 banned I'm not sure I get why the 1070ti is allowed: .. I know it's quite late in the competition now but can we at least get this fixed for round 3?

Are there any?

Validation is broken at the GPUPI v3.3 for CPU - 100M Stage. Validation of the ordinary submission normally takes the result. In the Div validation, it makes a mistake:

Does sandy bridge-EP, count as sandy bridge for this comp? IE: can I submit a E5-1680v2 for example

Get ready ROUND 5 - Socket 754 (2003) (No adapters allowed) Stage-1 SuperPI 1M Stage-2 HWBOT X265 1080P Stage-3 3DMark2003 - Nvidia series (Up to 6xxx series - single vga - single gpu only) Stage-4 FM Cloudgate - ATI AGP series

All the stages say FX allowed, but i assume its supposed to only be Ryzen 7. I currently have an FX sub in there by mistake( http://hwbot.org/submission/3899412_ ), can someone take it out of the comp without deleting it? Thanks

I'm gonna ask the same question everyone else is having at this point, is team cup on this year? With all the changes going on with staffing it's been a question of if it'll still get run and we haven't heard much about it. We're round about the time it'd be announced and so far we haven't heard any details.

I see no cpu limitation, is this division for ryzen 7?

Get ready !!! ROUND 4 - Socket 423 (2000) (No adapters allowed) Stage-1 SuperPI 1M Stage-2 Wprime 32M Stage-3 Aida64 Memory Read Stage-4 3DMark 2001 - GeForce3 series

Dear administration, May 21, 2018 all 5 of my results in the Challenger 2018 Div V Round 2 were deleted from competition. I received a letter from the hwbot.org team: But it's not possible to open a link from the letter because another domain and forum revision are currently in use. From May 01, 2018 (or May 04, 2018) to today (May 23, 2018) the following background were officially declared for participation in the Challenger 2018 Div V Round 2: I used official background in my all submissions for the competition. Therefore, I don't understand the claim in the letter of the administration regarding the background I used. I turned all my result…

Get ready ... ROUND 3 - Slot A (1999) (Argon & Pluto core only) Stage-1 CPU-Z Reference Clock Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 3DMark 2001 - GeForce 256

I tried to submit 3 scores in division II today and got the following for all 3. Screenshots had the background and the required form blanks were filled. Maybe this is why division II is empty.

I can't submit any score to this div. It says I don't use the comp background, but I do... I can submit to other divs

I just wonder why those are disallowed now, while being allowed during first round? Is there a reason of doing this (like cheating), or allowing them during first time was a mistake/inadvertence (and it's not right to delete results in the middle of competition)? I personally own 2200g, and my initiative was broken by “No RavenRidge APUs allowed!” this time

Here my sub on the Bot - Did I miss something or have a brain fart :) http://hwbot.org/submission/3850223_

Looks like another interesting Comp. Please Clarify Stage 2 - iGPU only?

New to OC -Esports. Is it necessary to join a team? If so, how? Thanks

looking at the AMD cpus admitted, FX 15h gen1 and FX 15h gen3 hope is limited up to 4 cores, is it right?

About first stage, Unigine Heaven, basic or extreme?

Is impossible to post Cinebench 15 score :( ....

Are we running this on the CPU or GPU. I assumed the CPU since we already have two graphics tests in the division and it is for Ryzen but the first submission I see is for GPU which was unexpected. I see in the discussion the poster thought it was for CPU as well but the engine wouldn't take it. Just looking for clarification

I was wondering are there going to be trophies for the challenger series this year they were a nice touch.
