  1. Try uploading only one system picture?
  2. The five stages of the Elmor after-party 1) Happiness ("The party was fun") 2) Arrogance ("All the chicks were looking at me") 3) Euphoria ("I could still go on for hours") 4) Depression ("No I can't") 5) Acceptance and Recovery ("zzzz")
  3. Lol at Cooler Master heart in background
  4. I confirm. Because of the root authority certificate, it is required to be connected to the web in order to update from v4.1 to v4.2.
  5. Hey all, Just to give a quick update on the Hynix MFR situation. Kingston and HWBOT just finished a conference call to discuss this problem, and the decision is to not allow any Hynix MFR for this competition. The goal of this competition is to make things fair for all participants. An official rule amendment will follow later this/next week. This is just a heads-up to prevent anyone from wasting time on MFR.
  6. Because the submission for week 3 has been deleted on Oct 15. We go over the submissions at the end of the competition, and it is no longer available. http://hwbot.org/submission/2435444 You should be winner of Week 4 though. Updated the list to ASRock.
  7. Don't run Windows Update. Follow the exact method I posted in that thread.
  8. Send the image to pieter@hwbot.org. I will fix the existing submission (so it falls within the competition week2 time).
  9. Whoah, very impressive. Nice work!
  10. Going over the submissions, stay tuned!
  11. Yes, but you will have to resubmit. I can only link one contest to a score.
  12. Updated opening post
  13. This might be an interesting read for you: The paradox of a fair overclocking competition
  14. The scores were selected based on the expected best-case-scenario score, which is the WR for each platform (so Haswell). From that WR, we took something like 70% to set the baseline. It used to be round numbers, and that is arbitrary. By using a reference score to get the baseline of, there is some logic behind it. If you take arbitrary numbers, there is a benchmark scaling bias. By this I mean: with arbitrary numbers, you don't take into accoun the scaling characteristics of the benchmark. You end up with the situation where the SuperPI-32M score has almost no effect in the final score.
