Thanks everyone!

Post which version worked for you on 3d11 and FS, maybe we can get an update to the rules if 5.26 is causing issues.

Did you try using older version of system info? I have ran into issues with the newest versions not always cooperating with legacy gpus.

Look at the challenger divisions. Those are hardware/temperature/frequency limited depending on the division. Everyone can find one to be competitive in Huge THANKS to Thermal Grizzly for putting up prize money!!

Finally got around to trying this. Everything worked no issues. Thanks to Stavros for putting together the guide, and the winraid guys for all the effort keeping xp alive!

Looking good!

cpu freq limit not necessary, all three of those benches are gpu bound.

I sold my venom

Smokin!

Nice one!

Are you concerned that having 3 rounds this year will limit options for the future of cheapazz comps? I thought there were some concerns about not enough cheap and widely available vga models to keep the comp going long term without needing to revisit previous hardware.

First off, this is amazing news! I'm really excited to see what happens with active owners/management. I hope some serious time is spent bugfixing before any sweeping changes are made In regards to leagues my opinion remains the same as all the previous times this has been discussed. Three leagues: Elite (ES/sponsored), Everyone else (all cooling types), Rookie (3-6mo time limit).

Looking good Alex
