    euh if we allow only retail hardware it means we don't allow usage of the heavily debated Z270/370LN2 boards right ? Or am I missing something here ?

    ^^ This, I thought this was a given if ES hardware isn't allowed.

    Hey my board doing that fail boot thing too. So fun to pass pi then fail to boot when you restart and need to clear and reapply :( Saber tooth 

    It's a complete POS board, is terrible for maximising CPU's on cold, for some reason it limited me be nearly 800MHz max clock (FX-8350) on both boards I tested compared to a CHV.

  3. Cost of buying an old system with  a bunch of CPU's to test = $150

    Cost of buying 1 Titan V = $3K

    It's not really a fair comparison is it really.....

    I'm sure you'll get a lot more out of an old system and learn a lot more too. I would suggest more new users buy older gear to be honest as it gives them a cheaper platform to learn on.

  4. Even though it would probably benefit my team if it were to stay with Venice only, I can agree that the stage might be a bit challenging and expensive for people who might be purchasing the platform for the first time just for the team cup, or even members who are experienced with 754 but do not have those venice CPUs to get hold of them. I am in agreement for looking at another CPU arch :)

    BTW awesome work on this team cup, I am really looking forward to this one!!! :D
