CN's example was done with 'balanced power' in windows rather than the 'performance power' setting. The CPU has speedstepped down to idle at 1600 and doesn't show the clock speed used in the run.

Submissions work in all 5 stages now. Thank you. Another question comes up though. Single-threaded SuperPi-32m, Div II stage 3, is being ranked PER CORE. Is this intended?

I tried to submit 3 scores in division II today and got the following for all 3. Screenshots had the background and the required form blanks were filled. Maybe this is why division II is empty.

Interested in a local event? Sure.

Challenger Divisions I II III new scenario
jab383 replied to superpatodonaldo's topic in HWBOT Competitions
I just noticed a change in DIV I restrictions. Instead of allowing only i7, the restrictions now prohibit 2011, 2011-3 and 2066 sockets. DIV II and III still allow only i5 and i3 respectively. The effect appears to be that i3 CPUs like 7350K can be used in DIV I. The two-core processors could have a competitive place in the challenge if their PER CORE scores are high. Do PER CORE stages use the number of cores in the actual CPU (2 for 7350K) or is PER CORE scaling limited to 6 and 4 cores for the i7s? -
Challenger Divisions I II III new scenario
jab383 replied to superpatodonaldo's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Differences in number of cores is usually handled by "per core" scoring as Websmile mentioned. As long as "per core" is applied to all the stages sensitive to core count, the playing field is nominally leveled. We don't have to rush about in a panic looking for binned CoffeeLakes, or worse, the very few and now rare OC motherboards for the unique CPU pinout. The Pro OC stages have an even worse issue with the wide range of core counts among Skylake-X CPUs. I'm looking forward to seeing notes on the stage pages about the "per core" scoring. -

Thanks. That hot card sure ate a lot of it. With dry ice, the OC BIOS could run without drooping volts or clocks. -
G.SKILL OC World Cup 2017 Qualifier Discussion
jab383 replied to rtsurfer's topic in HWBOT Competitions
For the geekbench stage, many of us have used a geekbench validation link. Is this correct, or do we need a CPU-Z validation link? The geekbench validation shows no nickname anywhere. Thanks for blocking my oops early enough to get it corrected. -
RealBench Challenge 2016 - Challenge II Discussion
jab383 replied to websmile's topic in HWBOT Competitions
There seems to be trouble with temperature monitoring. My AMD video card did well to heat the water to around 29C. Core idle temperatures were still around 23 - 24C. Below temperature of the water does not make sense. -
RealBench Challenge 2016 - Challenge I Discussion
jab383 replied to skulstation's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Thanks for the wallpaper. Is there a limit on the number of GPUs? Previous Realbench challenges have had limit of one. -
The link to this discussion is also not working. The rules page calls for a competition wallpaper, but there is no link to download a wallpaper. Submissions so far are showing no wallpaper.

The official ROG OC Showdown Formula Series Round 2 thread.
jab383 replied to bbaxter18's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Websmile: The rules page calls for "Submissions must include a picture of the rig (MB, VGA, memory, CPU cooler) during use, except XTU." That picture carries the responsibility for showing the motherboard if HW Monitor is insufficient. NOWHERE in the rules is there a call for the Mainboard CPU-Z tab -- only the CPU and Memory tabs. I have strong objection to someone making up another rule and not placing it on the rules page, especially when it is made up late in the competition. One thing I did not get from the above discussion is your authority. Are you a moderator? -
The official ROG OC Showdown Formula Series Round 2 thread.
jab383 replied to bbaxter18's topic in HWBOT Competitions
I had at least two submissions blocked because a core temperature was at 20C, not above 20C. The latest submissions still need to be checked by moderators. -
The official ROG OC Showdown Formula Series Round 2 thread.
jab383 replied to bbaxter18's topic in HWBOT Competitions
HW Monitor is already required and that shows the board mfg and type on the top data line. An additional CPU-z tab for mainboard is redundant as long as the board mfg is showing in HW Monitor. -
The official ROG OC Showdown Formula Series Round 1 thread.
jab383 replied to nvidiaforever2's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Yes, [Wanted], that submission is mine. I thought it was in compliance with 1. Statement of the rule for stage 1: "The CPU load temperature must be higher than 20°C", and 2. Massman statement in this thread, post 38: "In XTU, the temperature that we look at the the one that is shown with the score as that's the temperature during the benchmark" Chiller and ice water are normally allowed for enthusiasts, but are not consistently treated in this contest. My submission was blocked for its low idle temperature, not for the load temperature. I'll submit another run if this one isn't allowed on reconsideration.
