HWBOT Competitions

18 core and Titan Xp allowed?

is this 4 core processor allowed? Launched same time as the 7900X which is allowed in the Pro OC division....

GPUPI for CPU 100M STAGE 3 : normally scores have to be divided by number of cores like Stage 1 and stage 2 ? It is not implemented yet in the contest for Stage 3 ? Thanks

So, RX Vega is allowed then?

With points disappearing left right and centre, where does that leave the submissions for Challenger Divisions in x265?

I'm looking for someone that might have a PCB layout/datasheet of the 1080Ti OC Lab Edition as well as info on the added power delivery jumper functions. I can infer what most of them do, but I'd like something a little more concrete. I'm planning on starting out with chilled water/dry ice and eventually LN2 as I get to know the cards better. I have both the 1080Ti OC Lab Edition as well as the Air-Cooled HOF. Does anyone know if previous NVVDD tools work with either of them, I haven't gotten a chance to test.

Hello, I was directed here from someone running Galax's OC Labs facebook page. I was told someone here can assist with obtaining PCB layout/datasheet of the 1080Ti OC Lab Edition as well as the power delivery jumper functions. I can infer what most of them do, but I'd like something a little more concrete. I've got the required hardware for GOC 2017 and plan on using dry ice and moving onto LN2 as I get to know the card better. Also, I'm assuming like my past 980Ti HOF there's separate tools/BIOS for enabling proper XOC voltage controls.

Hi! GTX 5xx enable multi GPU-s? Xeon CPU enable or disable?

Guys, when i try to upload my GPUPI 1B for Road to Pro Division II round 3 it says in limitations that i have to make a submission for 3dmark03... wtf?? Follow print proof. @websmile @Massman any ideas? Or am i doing something wrong?

I keep getting an Apache error "file too big failure" in servelet with name "springmvc" wut?

Can't seem to submit scores, form keeps reporting 'client version not given' after uploading the results file ?

Are the 1000 series TX Pascal and TXp allowed where "1000" series cards are permitted?

I think to know the answer, but: are Xeon processor allowed ? @websmile

What's up with that? Almost every X265 Stages have the issue.

Greetings all, Firstly: Wow.. Double wow. I had like zero, well, inklings but holy moly this OC stuff is incredibly hardcore. Anyway, I'm trying to get a grip on procedural things with the uploading of results. Learned that one should actually read the rules on submitting the various stages rather than ticking the box and guessing. So, apologies. I'm also trying to get my entries properly done and thought that I had fixed my Geekbench entry but it's still showing as being without verification images. I do have three(!) instances in the submitting cue as I tried to repair my entries -- and the entering of system info seems odd; must one manually fill in …

Moderated, I handled this generously as long as I saw the spirit of the comp ( temperature at clear plus and decent delta) being respected, monitoring is not 100% precise on Ryzen anyway atm. Thanks for the good participation and grats to the winners

Just FYI. If anyone wanted to fix it. I heard that this frequently happens so I wanted to report on it.

Why on earth is the Ryzen 3 allowed when it hasn't been released yet?

Greetings! I see there is no thread started for this event and I have a question so I figured I would get one started. Event Link: OC eSports Here is the schedule as stated in the rules: Stage 1: GPUPI for CPU 1B (runs 01/05 - 14/05) Stage 2: 3DMark Ice Storm (runs 01/05 - 21/05) Stage 3: Catzilla 720P (runs (01/05 - 31/05) Will a GT730 GPU be required for participation in stage 1? I would assume its not required but I wanted to confirm. I am concerned because the schedule is very tight and I am not sure the required GPU will be in my hands by then. Thanks for your time! David

It says am2 cpu, does that mean a cpu that's specifically meant for am2 socket or just using the am2 socket? Cause there are am2 athlon 64s that will also run in an am2+ board just fine, and there are am2+ or am3 phenom II that run in an am2 socket just fine.

Hi to all. I like to overclocking the old-retro HW, but the last championship I did not participate, because the championship became boring, monotonous, repetitive and as result not interesting for me. I thought for a long time and would like to share my thoughts of the future of the Old School is Best School competition and those tasks that can be used in the future. Last 1st stage on my opinion was not true School LGA771+Quadro is terrible mix of specific hardware. LGA771 As an option, I still admit that it possible use, but professional nVIdia Quadro video cards are already overkill imho. In round 4 (2017) we as previous time used Great Socket 462, but each …

Hey guys, Quick little discussion topic before the competition starts on the 1st of July, what's your guys' personal best Overclock on a 7700k? I'll start first: Clock Speed: 4.8GHz Voltage: 1.280 Happy Overclocking, Good Luck in the Competition!

Where is the Tournament wallpaper I can not find anywhere, someone helps me

They are basically the same cards. This makes no sense at all.
