nice one Serg, good IMC there

don't forget: Include a picture of their rig during use (MB, VGA, MEM, CPU cooling)

Very very nice work and CPU there

I can also hold a hand while benching if needed 😎

all gone

Official background:

Nice one Maarten

Feel free to share gents

As international site we opted to continue in English only, too much of the code and stuff changed

Both changed

all LGA 1700 is fine, no gen limitation for the online qualifier. Live will probably limited to 14th gen Prizes are confrmed now too - Each of the top-9 of the online qualifier will receive a G.Skill DDR5-8000 2x24GB memory kit - 3 x Lucky draw winners using DDR5 will receive a G.Skill DDR5-7600 2x16GB memory kit (must participate in all stages)

You can take any lga 1700 cpu, for example if you have a Core i9, you are allowed to disable some Performance and all E-cores (Disable HyperThreading too)

10 is stable and smooth, less shenanigans possible...

good , now you get lots of freebies too like OGS I pinged Tim, he was working on the automatic move to leagues by time and/or cooling, something went wrong there

25-02: Competition end date and Final Benchmarks added still ongoing: CPU/cache frequency not yet determined

People spend too much time in inflating the scores, benchmark is once more too vulnerable for the creativity of our community, so yes the fun stops for all. Waste of moderation effort... RIP

Your score got flagged: all 2D scores (even when using benchmate) require CPU-Z tabs for CPU and memory in the screenshot. Check out the rules at; https://hwbot.org/benchmarkRules
