I can see us losing a lot of people if it is made into 2 or 3 leagues, of course XOC people will disagree but you are a minority I am not knocking anyone but some people simply cannot afford LN2 or circumstances dictate they can't use it.
People in other categories signed up for that and move on as they learn or desire to go to other cooling methods, these people are the backbone of HWBOT Elite and XOC are the minority but XOC members frequent this forum a lot more percentage than the lower leagues most won't even know this is taking place.
I sit on the fence with this at this time I'm using cold water but have intentions of using better cooling in which case it would put me into another league anyway, what I would say is before alienating the majority of members send them an email to vote or to come over and have a look.

My experience with m9a is that they have major qc issues so you have to bin them just to not get a crap board. Also they definitely drop channels after a while. Mine is down to single channel even with a pristine socket. You can try flushing the socket out with isopropyl as sometimes the socket is just dirty but I can say on my board that no amount of iso has been able to bring my channel back.
Bad news then, I did flush out and gently blow out with compressed air, my board is pristine only use water never been cold and no insulation, I think it's had less than 20 hours for sure maybe only 10.
I just got a RMA from Asus to fix it, I was wondering if it was worth having a refund (the dealer has offered me a full refund) and modding the Apex IX that I have.
Does the Apex IX Z270 work the RAM as efficiently as the Apex X? I notice pretty much all the top scores using a 8700K was using the Apex X.
Any opinions welcome as I have a couple of days before I have to make my mind up.

I have a problem where RAM lost all settings then after reboot gave CC error, I did a BIOS flashback which did nothing I then changed through 3 sets of RAM and 2 CPU's everything still gave error CC.
I found that with 1 stick of RAM in outer slot it boots but nothing I have found will let me boot 2 sticks. I checked CPU socket and all pins look perfect no bent or burnt pins.
Is there a way to get past this or does it need to be sent to Asus?
I also noticed this motherboard is no longer on sale are there so many problems that it has stopped being made?

What is causing the super high CPU load when I am on this forum? Using Chrome on my laptop on this forum 92% load using any other website always 3%.
It's like the site is using my laptop to do something???

Sorry I don't have that CPU

Great score mate all that hard work paying off :-)

Revision 6 is more than 3 years old.
It does not change that often.I think I am confused here? I thought a revision was done either in 2017 or late 2016, and another in 2015?
Would you have the dates or the revisions please?
Maybe as I've been on HWBOT since Jan 2007 I have the dates mixed up??

Mat Agnesi rises to #1 on some older hardware. But still great scores & lots of cups.

I don't do sad or jealous, those emotions are wasted. Happy or angry sure.
edit. Shock to me loss of points & dropping rank, all of about 1x second. Enthusiastic to gain back that ground. Effort is reward
Looks to be a shift to 3D benching & I gladly welcome it. Too long have we all grown fat on XTU junk bench.
New challenges ahead & more to do 2018.
I think I have come over wrong here, I'm not moaning that is a useless emotion I try not to do.
I fully get what you mean about XTU I am guilty of that, it was a bench I wanted to be good at, I also like 3DM06 and 2001SE and most of the others that I need to learn about.
This year it is time to get the soldering iron out and sort my GPU's as you say lots of points with old hardware.
What get's me is why the constant reviews why not have a major one say every 5 years? And send out a PM to all members so they can't miss an opportunity to contribute what they feel.
This is a great community and this revision will result in some members leaving which is sad but true it happens at every revision.
Should we simplify the leagues in 2019 and on or not?

I use cold water the best I have ever had is + 2c no load and 10c under load, I moved over to apprentice because its the right thing to do, I intend to build a chiller and that will probably be the coldest I will go. I enjoy seeing how many people I can beat who use LN2 that is my fun don't really care where I am in the standings.
Here is the problem I face in Team and Country cups I have very little chance to contribute because all the top scores are taken by the guys who use cooler methods.

Unless there is a law in your country saying you cant buy dice or ln2 then you are choosing to be slow. Its as simple as that. Its like turning up to and f1 race and saying, look guys i am only going to run 4cyl even though you are running v8, you should make my own special class so i can be a winner too.
This is ridiculas HWBOT has always been huge majority enthusiasts XOC and Elite together account for 1% of the Enthusiasts, if the majority packed in then I doubt HWBOT could exist on Elite and XOC.
