  1. Fyi, we are still updating the computex calendar as well. You can sync it so you know where the OC events are https://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=hwbot.org_42u2gk3mu5vf4ode8gehb5qsco@group.calendar.google.com
  2. Sorry guys All of our available time so far has gone to Android and Rev6 integration. I'll bump the issue on the backlog.
  3. Anyone needs MAP gas for the gathering? We can get some in advance if necessary ...
  4. Thanks for this thread! I am looking forward to reading the opinions. For me, I think the top priority should be to find a consensus in the community on how to define a professional overclocking. For those who may have forgotten, the Pro OC League was introduce after a discussion sparked by the community to have a separate league for the people who are not very connected to the industry. It may be interesting to read through that thread again to understand the motivation. Keep in mind that this proposal came in a time where the Gulftown A0 chips were king and the Overclockers League was dominated by industry-level overclockers like AndreYang, NickShih and HiCookie. We are now 4 years later and the scene has changed a bit. Firstly, it is no longer the case that ES hardware is much better. Certainly it happens that sometimes at launch the ES hardware is better, but that is usually because of sample size rather than inherent quality differences. It is possible to compete with retail today. Secondly, the support is a bit more widespread than it was before. There is more sampling done for overclocking as there is a wider selection of products that target overclockers specifically. Thirdly, there are more sources for buying binned hardware. Fourthly, the level of skill has gone up significantly. There are more people today than ever before who can easily handle CPU+VGA+MEM LN2 cooling. The question is: what is the difference between someone who competes at a professional level (eg: receives hardware, has access to tools like afterburner or special bioses) and someone who competes without ties to the industry? In my opinion, any change to the league structures is function of this definition. If (for example) Vivi is considered Pro and should move to a Professional grade league or competition, only then we can consider what is an appropriate structure for the competition. If we consider Mtech or Zzolio (two examples of pro) professional, the appropriate structure might be different. Because we all know that there is a difference between K|npg|n, 8 Pack, Vivi, Mtech or Team.AU in terms of level of support and available resources.
  5. That's awesome, TiN
  6. Alright, getting a bunch of them
  7. Hm, yeah. I've added this to the backlog, but not with high priority. http://bugs.hwbot.org/browse/HWBOT-1405
  8. What do you want to submit? A normal result, or to a competition?
  9. Finally figured out the bug! Submitting should be possible now
  10. Hey guys, Sorry for the delay, Computex stuff is taking over my day at the moment. Almost ready with the Team Cup ...
  11. Maybe I should add that the full systems will be provided by Intel
  12. On the event day there will be 8 amateurs. But regardless if you have LN2 experience or not, you can join the registration part. We'll do a random draw from the submitters here. Edit: so the score doesn't really matter. I figure there won't be hundreds of amateurs coming to Computex anyway
  13. Hm, not meant to be dead, but I think it's related to pro oc and competition teams. Little bug it seems.
  14. If you're coming to Computex, check out this competition event!
  15. I came here for the gifs but was disappointed
  16. I came here for the gifts and was not disappointed
  17. Use it for MRT or in 7/11 to pay
  18. Btw, could anyone interested in going karting check in on the Facebook event? https://www.facebook.com/events/524464900997450/ Should be easier to keep track (pun not intended) of things ..
  19. Anyone want an HWBOT Easycard (MRT, 7/11) Computex 2014 edition? Let me know
