HWBOT Competitions

09 Mar 2018 overclocker under the nickname CSN7 submitted own result to the Rookie Rumble # 53 - HWBOT x265 Benchmark 1080p already as a Novice. This competition has a limit, as it's not the first time (but nobody care as in the case of Ackerman): Only members of the rookie league may participate. CSN7 is registered on the HWBOT 30 Nov 2017 and now has the status of Novice. Yesterday, he had two entries on the wall that he joined the Novice League 8 days ago and 9 March (last notification on the wall). I was surprised that he two times joined the Novice League. Between these events he managed to join a division. Let's count the months: 1) 30 Nov - 30 Dec; 2) 30 …

Get ready !!! Wallpapers ?

Let the games begin ;)

K guys to avoid the drama of last time some small changes in the rule set: You must use the latest available benchmark version ( + systeminfo for stage 3) A verification link is required for the 3Dmark11 Physx stage Thanks heaps Gigabyte and Happy benching

Start up date We need the official wallpaper ... and a better description about limitations (regarding cpu's to be used). -//- EDIT -//- Reminder from the preparation thread

Should be 2.0 for prizing. Just a thought.

Hey fellas, Maybe some of you are already laughing about my post on Facebook, but I'm serious! I really like the competition and the organization from year to year. But another igp stage is just too much, to stay calm. For this competition u need to bin the following: Igp 8600k: at least 3 chips to find one decent Imc 8600k: at least 3 chips to find one great Core 8600k: at least 5 chips to find one great RGB mem for max freq and normal for the rest! Open freq=core binning Igp=igp binning Max mem=imc binning Limit the freq to 6g/6g and eliminate igp, instead choose 3d11 physx Limited freq shouldn't be any iss…

I see subs with Gen 7 A-series processors. These are a violation of the stated restrictions. That means the hardware restrictions aren't working for this stage.

Hi, For division 7, it says Geforce 400 series allowed. http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/roadtopro_challenger_season4_division7_round1/4133/3dmark_01 Some question arose in my circle that GTS 450 can be based on GF116, used in 500 series graphic card. Are all 400 series, including GF116, allowed, or this is limited to GF 10x series ? Thanks in advance for clarifying this. Cheers

Hi, Stage 1 Xtu 1 Point for everybody? Greez and THX NIk

Hi, I thought I saw one of the mods comment that Threadripper would be part of Pro OC this year (sorry don't remember the context) - has this been missed? It has been out for quite a while now but is the only current platform without a division as it stands.

Some sub are with nvidia GPU. Isn't AMD cards only allowed ?

how is it that the 1070 is not permitted but 290X is? Wouldn't call 290X a third tier card.

Just to be sure, 1070Ti is forbiden right ?

would be great if this "golden oldie" division permitted more than only a GTX 4xx series card? IDK, how about HD 58xx, or even a GTX295? Overly restrictive as is. JMO.

Hi everybody I noticed that the incoming divisions include coffeelake, non-sense imho i7 now is 6/12 vs "older" 4/8 i5 now is 6/6 vs "older" 4/4 i3 now is 4/4 (and better L3 cache) vs "older" 2/4 so, they will be just coffee challenger?

Hi, Division VII specifies "socket 1155 only" in the rules but 2011-1 subs are going through, e.g. http://hwbot.org/submission/3776039 Can you please fix this? Thanks!

Hello can someone say to me why i don't have the CPU devices i can not do the test ? => https://i.gyazo.com/b29fdff5adefea32e041890b04f54c2d.png I teste'd the 3.01 version but nope doesn't work ....

Hi ! these are the definitive rules ? And where is the background ?

Which , if any, divisions exclude CPu ES samples? Or are ES allowed throughout ?

I keep getting errors when I try to do a sub. The first errors I got was saying I didn't have the correct background when I did use it, downloaded from the links provided and set it as the desktop wallpaper for these runs and it's clearly visible as the correct wallpaper within the screenies. Last night it did this with every attempt to do a sub, validation files or whatever else. Today it's saying I have errors with my subs yet it's not saying what these errors are and I'm entering all the needed info per bench, esp with 32M Super PI - I know all that is getting entered yet it's still giving me this error message and yep, the wallpaper is there as it should be …

possible to use a 7820x with 2 inactive hearts ,, being limited to 6 hearts !!!! thank.

Submitting a file from the cb_ranking folder doesn't work in the rookie rumble #52: "Invalid file".

Hi, These two divisions have different hardware mentioned on the main page and individual stage pages. Am I right in assuming that: - IV is all mainstream Ryzen CPUs (no Threadripper) and all single AMD mainstream GPUs (no FE) - V is same as above but Ryzen 3/5 only and all Vegas are excluded It would be good to get confirmation of this as it sometimes takes a while to get the right hardware shipped and prepped. Happy Benching
