Looking at your new argumentation why would make it difference if you move the date if the amount of vacation days and co stays the same... you would still require to sacrifice family time. I would strongly suggest to try to do a proper planning between the different teams, there's not even a need if you have enough active benchers to do gatherings. They make it more fun ofc, but usually if your are not focused, some people just bench the entire benchmark suite on their CPU or GPU iso just benching to maximize that one score... Country Cup has been in Q4 for a decade, you know which period it comes, hardware specs and most stages were well known in advance this year. I have to do the same for Computex year after year, arranging stuff at work and at home to ensure I can go... But I want to go and that's why I make it happen!

Most members but seems not many want to defend the flag... you only need a max 5 sores and with hundreds of active benchers you guys could easily dominate Country Cup We have the same stuff here in Europe, end terms & festivities all over the place in December. Man we move family aside a few weekends to bench with others, pretest or bench each nite individually. Dedication, planning and determination is what is required to win Team Cup or Country Cup. Honestly this ain't merely a Bot date issue but maybe more a regional attitude problem. Hopefully my post makes the blood boil and you guys will be back with a vengeance! Nuff said, Q4 it was and still is

13 to 12 is still a win, did you also subtract the mod that didn't vote for Q4 ? Or do you need 75% of the votes to get a win... 15 or 13 peeps want it to stay in Q4 that's how I look at the vote with sheer peasant logic. Now if eg. 12 voted for Q1 we could have changed, in this case we stick to the current format with minor changes to move it

My look at the poll, Country Cup remains unchanged it will be Q4 in 2020... Too bad maybe some of them unhappy people didn't vote. Majority wins, this aint politics Anyway if we cut the challengers by one week we can move around a tiny bit to have it easily completed before Xmas

Jane is timeless bro, especially the uncut hard-core version

will make a front page post tomorrow, have fun lads

single stage or LN2, could be you can unleash an extra 2 bclock

First bench hard on LN2 and come back.... LN2 is way more frustrating at moments as usually all of your pretesting on air/water makes no sense under extreme cold... also you don't have hours of time to debug why the heck you aren't even close to the other guy's score.... Learning how new harware reacts to cold will already set you back 15-30L of LN2 before you might see a pattern. LN2 benching is not about pushing more volts and get it as cold as possible. The combination of silicon, voltages, logic adaptive debugging and accurate temp control are keypoints here. Another maybe mute point: Talk to the real sponsored guys here, getting them freebies I'll tell you it autmatically brings a lot of pressure. PR people require records otherwise you will get replaced by one that can do it. Your score gets beaten, then they will require you to rebench to be on top again. Best example is Dancop who ruled the Bot but had to give up as it was hampering his social and family llife to bench each evening. No matter what league you are in, to get top spots or lots of points you will have to cash out. You use the word invest a lot. , OC or PC hardware is really never an investment. You buy it and from the moment you walk through the shops door your "investment " already is devaluated. Buy 2 CPUs and still get thrashed, so you sell and buy more to get a cherry sample, Break all scores for your league till another guy finds a better sample. My point of view on OC: I always prefer to bench for efficiency ,try to beat people at equal clocks is the game. If you have less MHz and still get similar scores you are on top. If you cant match or beat him with higher clocks you suck lol.... or he cheated? OC has to remain fun, The goals you set will determine if you will "invest" tons of cash, chasing them virtual points for world wide internet fame might be your thing. If you don't get the Return of Investment, people become bitter and want changes to the system. This implies we are back at the starting line and people just should rethink the aim of their hobby....

110+ CPU maybe Jaime!!

So define a close tie to the industry... Which mods are you referring to ?

absolutely

Ow and who's exactly sponsored according you guys? The Top 10 of Elite ? Some others are reviewers, that just post scores with ES samples. So that changes nearly nothing. if we put these peeps in a seperate class. If there are sponsored OCers in enthusiast than these should be honest and move themsleves to Elite Thing is we hope to make a big announcement soon about the future HWBot and some stuff will be altered and more important fixed One of my working points witll be providing points to everybody iso doing a cutoff at a certain percentage, but its too early days.... till then we have to sit and wait the outcome of current discussions....

Rule1: Mods are not allowed to push this far

Like stated before the Bot cannot detect which score to use if one user subs multiple subs outscoring the other ones of his teammates on sort like platforms. Dividing by mobo sockets has been broken for ages. So this stage requires some special attention by the mods, why did you think I added 1151 is the same as 1151v2? Anyway all subs in this stage look good so far, so no problem.

about the dude with the elephants....

@yosarianilivesIf the software also has to correct the end users inability to do a proper submit we would have to wait for a higher level of AI to get it working. Just stop being such a loophole whore dude.. It is not because the software can't be 100% configured that you must abuse it.... For the 3Dmark scores with a valid link and a suspicion of Tesselation settings being altered, these will be properly moderated over the weekend....

will be removed, the idea behind a valid link is that the OCer doesn't play with any driver setting.... if you spot something out of the ordinary plz report

if Team USA wants to remove some scores plz have an internal discussion which ones as some people still have backups, The Bot can not decide which scores have to go, At the moment the code is still looking for the highest score per hardware and if user 1A does multiple subs on different platforms it will block lower scores from other users. Therefore some planning and internal communication is mandatory before submitting...

Nice setup dude; good to see that Ivy Bridge rockin!!!

imagine if poll option 1 wins, so we host another Country Cup in January ? Only thing we can do is to reduce the challengers to e.g. a few weeks less so everyone can have a break once in a while....

loving the insight in things... iust bash to bash guess...

It is all a matter of timing and proper planning... I benched in the evenings... Each evening during 5 weeks. Anyhow where do you want to put team cup then or Gskill or Galax competitions? There will always be pros and cons for any proposed date
