Yeah, looks like not all files made it to production. Waiting for the dev team to wake up

Oh, I suppose we should add in something about Engineers Samples there too.

Yeah, it's a small bug that is in our backlog. Hopefully we can fix it for the next competition. I'm glad you like the comp!

Looks like a small bug. Reported to the development team!

I asked MSI in the past if they would allow us to host the ABX for EOL cards, but the answer back then was no. I'll ask again.

Yeah, something got broken yesterday. The WR points are lost in a couple of legacy benchmarks. Let's see if this is easily fixable.

In this light, AMD handing out potato chips at last year's IDF is pretty damn funny!

Some update after feedback: You're Elite If ... you get a personalized version of overclocking software (eg. Afterburner Extreme) on a regular basis you get beta hardware for beta testing overclocking capabilities can request motherboard bios versions with special overclocking features you have access to special publicly unavailable XOC or coldslow VGA bioses you receive hardware for the sole purpose of overclocking you get invited to private overclocking events organized/sponsored by industry You're Not Elite If ... you receive hardware for reviews, which you afterwards use for your overclocking your friend gives you a version of afterburner extreme you find coldslow bioses on the internet and use them you win hardware in an overclocking competition you qualify for an overclocking competition via an open or public qualifier 1) Nothing stops a user from lying of course. Long-term I hope companies would become more transparent about who they sponsor so this wouldn't be a problem. As for writing a quick review: if you receive hardware for the purpose of overclocking and you then write a review about it, you are still Elite. 2) Sure, you're allowed to hack the regular version of Afterburner Extreme and share it with other people. That would make you awesome, but not Elite.

I see you like Leonardo

1) It's not a -K because it's not a new product line. 2) It's G3258 because the CPU characteristics are similar to the G3250. The product manager was given the choice of anything between G3251 and G3259 for the product number.

Good choice!

The reason for the platform requirement is the hardware/bios profile that is attached to the result. When you're uploaded a benchmark result, you are actually uploading an XTU profile with a benchmark score attached to it. The problem is that the platform characteristic for pre-SB and post-SB architectures vastly differs. Because it differs, it's not possible to create an XTU profile with these architectures. And without a profile, it's not possible to submit a score. Note that versions of XTU before Haswell never had a benchmarks score integrated and that the integration efforts were part of the Haswell launch strategy.

Hey All, Even though we now have the Elite league, we still don't really have a good definition for who should be in this league. So below is a suggestion to more clearly outline the difference between the leagues. What do you guys think? Elite: access to industry support Extreme: hobbyist extreme overclocker Enthusiast: ambient cooling, registered >1y Novice: ambient cooling, registered >3m Rookie: ambient cooling, registered <3m As for industry support, it's quite simple. If you have the contacts to get modifications, hardware, software or any other form of overclocking support from a hardware vendor, you must be part of the Elite. To give some practical examples: You're Elite If ... you get a personalized version of Afterburner Extreme you get beta hardware for beta testing overclocking capabilities can request motherboard bios versions with special overclocking features you have access to special XOC or coldslow VGA bioses you receive hardware for the sole purpose of overclocking you get invited to private overclocking events organized/sponsored by industry You're Not Elite If ... you receive hardware for reviews, which you afterwards use for your overclocking your friend gives you a version of afterburner extreme you find coldslow bioses on the internet and use them you win hardware in an overclocking competition you qualify for an overclocking competition via an open or public qualifier For clarification, the support for overclocking does not have come from the headquarters in order to be considered as Elite. If you have extensive support from your local branch office, specifically for overclocking purposes, you are also Elite. //edit: updated version You're Elite If ... you get a personalized version of overclocking software (eg.

It really depends what you're going to be focusing on. If you're planning to get a SuperPI rig and always run PSC cold, ASRock will give you a nicer time. If you're planning on using the board with Samsungs, both are fine. If you're also planning to try DDR3-4000+ validation runs, asrock might be better than the regular SOC board. If you're going for a daily benching rig and will also do other benchmarks than SuperPI and Memory Clock, the Gigabyte will do just fine. The boards are very strong at 3D.

:celebration: :ws:

Hm, it doesn't really work like that . I can add this request to our development backlog, but since it would be very time consuming the priority is low. We have a lot of other stuff to fix first

I like that idea, Iuri! Maybe Average is not the right metric (it's always skewed towards the lowest score). Best of three would work I suppose. Definitely something to investigate!

It is very difficult, because our entire point calculation engine is build on the assumption there is one hardware identified for a ranking. We'd have to re-write a large portion of the code to support multi-hardware submissions.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant too. The Wprime should be there; the personal record should not be there.

Hello Master

Haha, okay. Well honestly ... a #K would have made more sense than -8 in this case. The woman makes more sense!!

#K would implicate a new series. This is an Anniversary Edition ... there's no "promise" of a future unlocked Pentium.

Not bad! Top-20 global
