I don't get what you are saying...

removed, but you also need to add 2 CPU-Z tabs, one for CPU and one for memory in the verification screenshot

Hicookie in 3D... Awesomeness

Nope we want to ensure even higher clocks later on... Important BIos decision: there will be a BIOS lock one week before the Live starts, plz inform your Bios teams of your favorite mobo brand.

Benchmarks not decided yet prep these already 8P 6.5 - 6 cache

Well I'm gonna sum up the replies to the current list of official/unofficial claims: - G.Skill rep has confirmed that 2022 Week 1-2 are NOT ES kits, G.Skill has M DIE since 2021 Q4 - eVGA ( for their secret event) was sponsored but the sticks used another IC version - Offcial eVGA statement: The sampled eVGA motherboards used are retail PCB versions, not ES. But they don't go through the labelling/package, so some stickers might be missing. On the videos the PCB version was requested. - There was no 5th core in play with the 9 Ucode in the Y-cruncher stage, extensive video proof has been provided. - The rules state: show the heat spreader with serial. if heat spreader removed the ICs need to be shown. I'm no expert on these so the G.Skill judges checked them and approved the submissions.

https://hwbot.org/competition/Oldzen RAMvenge Issue with only one score per team is that one user can wrap it up ( if he has the hardware ofc )

We just imposed ECC in the 3DMark suite and the SuperPosition benchmarks (as they feature build in detection) older legacy benchmarks are not taken into account...

That is the definition of a lucky draw... why am I even replying to this lol For your info two draws were planned for DDR5, one for DDR4
