HWBOT Competitions

Well, here we are! I'm waiting for my H100i to arrive, so I can start doing serious business. Let's have a nice competition y'all, it'll be fun to push our chips beyond their (and our) limit!

ah i think xtu messed up the core speed, when i raised the cache clock, let me fix that

And we're live!

Please note the additional rules, - You must attach a clear picture of the modules' label - You must attach a clear picture of the memory chips and PCB if the modules if the heatspreaders are removed (still need a picture of the label) - It is not allowed to remove submissions for strategic purposes. This is an individual competition. Unsportmanship behavior may lead to disqualification. - HyperX and HWBOT reserve the right to remove any submission. There will be no discussion about removed submissions or disqualification

2.88 GHz, nice

Here we go bros!

Tasos use a 7870er im Challenger Div II for Fire Strike Extreme. Thats not allowed ...only a 760. 270 or 270x are allowed He ist on the first Place with wrong Hardware

Let's get ready to Rumble on OC-Esports :battle:

Here weeeee gooo!

I'm trying to sub this http://hwbot.org/submission/2678086_for the Challenger 2014 Div IV Round 1 - 3DMark Fire Strike and I just can't. The overall rules say 980 is allowed but round 1 info doesn't say that. This could be the issue. Thanks in advance. Johan

Hi, Can someone please clarify the limitations for the GPU in Stage 1 DIV III? The overview page states: "The graphics card choice is limited to the GeForce GTX 750, GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Radeon R7 260, Radeon R7 260 and Radeon HD 7870. But when you go into stage 1 it states: GeForce GTX 750, GeForce GTX 750 Ti, Radeon R7 260X videocard So in the overview page the R7 260 is listed twice and HD 7870 is allowed, but in stage one it's R7 260X and no HD 7870. I want to start overclocking but need to be sure about the hardware. HD 7870 is substantially stronger than 750Ti.

I assume these questions have already been asked and/or been determined but thought it would be a good idea to try to centralize questions. Overview says this is to incorporate the iGP of the APUs but when you click on the first stage, it says, "Only make submissions with a 285 videocard." Is this a Nvidia 285 VGA? Personally, the confusion goes on to Division IV also where it's stated, "In Challenger Division IV round the hardware is limited to the mainstream APU processors and their integrated graphics cards. The processor choice is limited to the Bulldozer and Piledriver models." So are you actually talking about APU CPUs with discrete VGAs or CPUs from…

Get ready, gentle(wo)men!

@ staff and hwbot community Can you please share your thoughts if you like CC 2014 to be In January 2015 ? December is tough month for CC since all the holidays, personal and bussiness aspecs at the end of the year. I know that maybe not all ppl want to have more time with their family but January is a way better mont for OC since most of ppl have more time to concentrate for better scores. Shipping is also killing durung December, agree ? If its possible and doable for hwbot staff can you left pool for it 10x.

I have tried numerous times to submit to this division with no luck. I always get an error one time it said my DX-9370 isn't the correct processor. I know this may not be the correct forum but the dropdowns won't work for me either. I've tried IE and FF compatability mode etc. The subs work fine here for example http://hwbot.org/submission/2646907_ , http://hwbot.org/submission/2648717_ . I have even used those subs to populate hardware and no go also entered manually still the same. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Here we go!

athlon 64 (non FX) processors for S939 are not allowed because of no "FX" athlon 64 FX-51 processors are not allowed because of S940 right?

Good luck everyone!

So i submitted some 3DMark FSX score for Div 1 it shows up as catzilla 720p everywhere? even the submission page says catzilla? Did ney got his hands on the server again? http://oc-esports.io/#/round/roadtopro_challenger_season0_division1_round1/1721/3dmark_fire_strike_extreme http://hwbot.org/submission/2648537_

So i got hooked up by all these benchmarks, but only one that i can do is XTU as it seem all other rookie benchmarks for cometitions dont allow to use win8 everything. So thats it for me as i wont be buying win7 just to be able to participate

so all in all i get kinda craped on cos i have win8.1 pro?! Theres no competition to be at, cos all benchmarks exclude win8 results? grrr

Should be an interesting community competition

Starting in about a week. Ready, Set, Go!

Good luck, all.. Have fun while competing with fellow amateur overclocker..
