What people always forget.

I could get behind this as well. 6months at Rookie then in with the rest of em.

if anything i'd use evidence that Im currently sponsored by one company to try to solicit further sponsorship from other brands. "Hey corsair, MSI sent me some boards to show off and i can show off your products if you send me stuff."

I think the old definition was something like, if you get a free PSU as a prize - definitely not Elite if PSU is sent to you because you're an overclocker/modder but as a one-off - not Elite A PSU manufacturer sends you a new PSU once a year, and pays your LN2 bill? - Elite Gigabyte sends me an ES board, and may do so in the future and I use that for my ranking? - Definitely Elite Though here's a good one - Gigabyte sends me an ES board, and I put it up for a prize in a local competition, its previous gen (lets say Z270), and the winner then uses it to improve their ranking. My argument is that this is not Elite. But what if hypothetically it was a current gen board (say Z390) - Gigabyte didnt send this user the board, and they also would not have an expectation of future support - Elite or nah? Noobs are always put off, the ones who stick around are the ones we want. I also reckon we should have the option for Elite level users to return to XOC or Enthusiast leagues if they are no longer sponsored, but perhaps this should be done as a request through mods, who would ask them what they were getting and confirm they are no longer getting before flipping them back. Just thought Id put in the definition as per the FAQ that is currently on Hwbot. Question: When do you qualify as Pro and have to switch to that league? Answer: Currently, there is no clear outlining on who’s considered pro and who isn’t. Or even who should go into that separate league and who shouldn’t. Currently, I’m moving those people who work almost exclusively with sponsored hardware and only for pure marketing-related overclocking to that league as that’s what it was designed for. This is for instance KP, Hicookie or Elmor. I think for the first couple of weeks we’ll see who wants to join and how the flow works exactly (many or little overclockers making the jump, etc …). Except for the group mentioned earlier, we don’t intend to force people in either league. When discussing the design for the first time, we also got the question what to do with review samples. That is quite simple: we have no interest in either tracking all review samples or vetoing against sending a specific person specific hardware. What we asked vendors is to honor the Pro OC league by focussing the marketing-overclocking events (eg: sending super-binned hardware) as much as possible in that league and leave the hobbyist rankings as they are. We also explicitly said that there’s no problem with sending anyone a mainboard or a vga card. In your particular situation, this all boils down to: we do not have the slightest problem with you getting any samples or you choosing for the normal oc’er ranking. If you feel Pro and want to join, okay. If you feel Pro is a bit out of your reach at the moment, feel free to compete at the top of the non-pro ranking.

Can we do this?

had to whip out the SS to beat me? :P

Can we add Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master please

Hwbot is a shitfight, and no change benefits everyone.

what if we. got rid of points altogether.

fake news.

Doesnt Fredyama have his own hwbot account? Can I get others to bench for me and submit it to my account?

fuck that

I await this.

You cant lol.

nothin' wrong with yCruncher @FatBoyNotSoSlim

oh easy then, let me just photoshop a 300K score.

I feel like someone could drop probably 5K, make hwbot2.org and write their own algorithm that would ensure they are the top of the league always. How much do I have to pay to make sure that my 3dmark01 score is at the top regardless of how much I cheated on it?

who gives a fuck

7mins 24? what is this AMD 32M WR?

New record? for your zip code yeh?

Dont worry about benching other cards for Timespy, just a single 2080ti all you need.

Nice one Frank!
