  1. Hey man, just wondering how come the picture is an Asus Z170-A and not a CH6? Did you add the wrong picture? No worries if so, should be possible to edit the score to add the right one, if you can't work out what to do I can edit it for you as team captain. If you can't get on the forums here just tag Mickulty6 in #competitions on the discord or message /u/HowDoIMathThough on reddit.

  2. oh, ok sorry my bad, i'll do another screenshot soon, and do u know which test do we have to do ? all tests, or only game tests?

     

    Only the 7 game tests. The other tests don't actually affect your score.

     

    You don't have to run them all at once, for example once you have a score you can rerun just Nature for basically as long as you can be arsed with in the hopes of getting a better score out of it and a higher overall score as a result. That's what's going on with scores like scannick`s 3DMark2001 SE score: 156998 marks with a Radeon HD 4870 where you can see only 1 game test is selected.

    A lucky find in an full system off ebay that's frankly far too rare for me to murder it with my appalling soldering skills.

     

    Tested with 3DMark03. Didn't spend ages finding the exact max stable clocks but 500/500 passed fine while neither core nor mem could run 550.

  4. I think many of us would like to see XTU wiped off the map as a benchmark

     

    I do wonder if that's the reason people are so enthusiastic to wipe points from it. I too would be very happy to see a lot of XTU points go away but I have to be honest with myself and say it's not because I think there are people out there benefiting from faked scores. I just hate having to deal with 8/10 when most other stuff is 7 or XP.

  5. I can't let this question without an answer. So, is this the highest FSB frequency score? Next one I found this:

     

    ( ivanov`s Reference Frequency score: 284.74 MHz with a NF7 V2.0 ) - Ivanov's 284.74 MHz with Abit NF7 V2.0 ( nForce 2 Ultra 400 ). I OCed a lot of Socket A motherboards. I OCed almost every VIA chipset on socket A (so I have a lot of experience in this matter).

     

    Yes, this is the highest socket 462 FSB score. Here's a link to the results from the hwbot search function: Overclocking, overclocking, and much more! Like overclocking.

  6. first thing we need to adress is the availability of the hardware list, preferably at least 2-3 weeks before compo starts. So competitors can search fleabay and co to get the required hardware.

     

    How did you guys like it this year? less exotic requirements for motherboards, CPUs and co. Even some stages could be perfectly done on just water/chilled cooling setups

     

    Honestly it was really good. All the older hardware was reasonably common and therefore no trouble to get hold of, it had something for everyone, and IMO stages like AM2 + HD 3000 3DMark03 were really well balanced. It really shows that a lot of thought went into it, I think it worked out really well as a result and I want to say that I really appreciate that.

  7. When I first heard of the "each stage has one sub per league" idea, I immediately thought to myself, well that doesn't work for the smaller teams who may not have people in certain leagues. Hardware Canucks, for example, has no extreme benchers, and some of the big teams have no enthusiast/novice/rookie benchers. But I though on it some more, and I think this idea aligns perfectly with the whole purpose of the Team Cup. If your team is lacking in extreme benchers, then the Team Cup will encourage you to buy a pot and source some LN2 - mission accomplished. If your team is lacking in enthusiast benchers, then the Team Cup will encourage you to recruit members who are new to OC - mission accomplished. Even though it would technically hurt my own team, the more I think about this idea, the more I like it.

     

    I'd be interested to hear some opinions on this? I totally agree in my experience but being associated with reddit kinda helps with recruiting...
