There are some quite advanced & obscure concepts being discussed for this meet already!

The main site has been much more responsive for me, I only tried searching for scores today. Thankyou very much

Depending on when, i'll probably be up for it. Might even bring some personality and enthusiasm this time!

Score removed by admin. Reason for removal: Not s*** enough.

Prove it

Please can "that subject" not pop up in here as well? People seem to be enthusiastic about a product launch just because it sounds like fun hardware to play with...

I will very probably buy some kind of combo, even if it's just for sh**s & giggles and hope it's mostly giggles

Any news on this problem? Still a big problem here.

Bump Still a lot of CPUs needing new homes

Some really nice numbers in this thread

I consider this progress. People have to decide which is more important. The league, or the score.

Team China or Team Taiwan should dominate everything with their weird boards (mostly GPU) that don't get exported

I knew this board would get discussed I've always viewed it as a super-limited, super-tuned board for a few specific purposes. CURRENTLY, it is only going into the hands of people who know what to do with it and how to handle it. It does not have to be "watered down" for Joe Anyone to use. If the group buy goes through, then IMO it becomes "standard" limited run hardware. No problem. At the moment, I think crosses a line for Elite League only. Or hardware points only. The result of the group buy is the important thing here. (IMO) The scores don't matter, nor rankings or who has to move to what league. It's the situation that needs to have a future-proof solution.

Do you have the latest board BIOS and Intel Management Engine? I had a crap evening of figuring that out for my GTX1060....on a Z77 board!

...if you buy it, you'll be in green numbers

Looks like it. Never played.

Bump

If you're the only one with decent LN2 activity, did you consider that it might give you an automatic advantage? Region matters. Every region and demographic puts emphasis on different things. Resources are allocated for different things. Brands aren't equally popular in every region. Put it this way..... if everyone found support as easy as you appear to have, then XOC would be massive right now. Another disclaimer: I am not on a path to ranting about my own lack of support. Enough of "it" was in my hands and I know why it didn't work out. The bigger conversation is definitely for another thread. It would make for one hell of a comedy-horror!

DISCLAIMER: for most people in most regions, it is probably not this easy. If it was, we'd all be hooked up, sitting on thrones made of hardware.

BOOM! If someone is OCing because they want to be famous, quit and buy a guitar, or date a footballer. Or something like that. Prepping hardware + OS, then benching it, is either an enjoyable process.... or it isn't

I don't think that we should accept any kind of ambient league. No-one runs hotter for better MHz, so less reason to "muddy the water" (*except for AMD 754/939/940)

It's hard being ahead of the curve. People usually don't figure it out or show appreciation until it's too late.

Oh dear. That sounds like a mis-step to me, though I can definitely see why it's simple to implement. I LOVE messing around with watercooling and air has its uses. Taking part in an ambient contest sounds relaxing. I don't think my interest in LN2 should affect that.

Am I mis-understanding your post? I thought anyone could join in any competition, as long as they followed the rules?

Are there stats on the number of CPU and GPU categories... and the option to split/search by brand? Also... Motherboard rankings and "others" How many gold medals etc are available on HWBot? What about.... gold medals worth more than 2 points? Could stats like this be added to the site and updated e.g. every 6 months as "families" are rolled out? Been meaning to ask this for a while!
