As the topic title says, looking for someone who is very familiar with distributed computing projects

Fyi, the fix is really easy. Just click on "Recalculate" in the sidebar on the right-hand side, and refresh the page. There's some bug that prevents some submissions from being recalculated.

Fixed .

Nvidia PhysX only affects the ealy versions of 3DMark Vantage. The newer versions of Vantage and all the newer 3DMarks are unaffected by the enabling or disabling of PhysX in the Nvidia panel.

V4.2.0.8 is the only one that is allowed. What error are you seeing?

Nice score, Hideo!

Same here Killer stuff man, now do the same with 4930K!

Everyone can choose any division, XOC or EL.

I don't think an LN2 bios will stop that. It has been reported in the past - this happens with some AMD cards. People have flashed BIOSes from working cards to non-working cards, and I haven't seen any solution.

Can those who have problems send me the logfiles. Send it to pieter AT hwbot POINT org To get the log files: - folder: C:\ProgramData\Intel\Intel Extreme Tuning Utility - delete all - open XTU, when you get the error zip the folder and mail it to me That should help speed up the debug process.

Nice one!

We are building a dedicated "competitive overclocking" sub-site, which will be very different from the current site visually. On that sub-site, you will only see the overclocking competitions, not the XOC, EL, or other leagues. So, anyone who refers to the competitions will refer to something that is not linked directly to the leagues. It's a bit hard to explain without examples, but we don't have the examples yet . Challenger points will not contribute to the XOC/EL. At least not in a different way than regular competitions do now (maybe not at all). We will mention the division in the user profile. So an example sentence could be: "I am active in Division II (top-5) and #149 in XOC".

It says "Caviar Blue", though?

Aiming for second place huh ... I see what you did there

Haha, this is nuts. I like it! :D:celebration:

Try "Caviar Blue" for series and "500" for size

The changes for Pro OC have similar motives as the rev6 competition format, but also additional ones. Just to name one, I think it's quite clear that the XOC League is much more balanced and challenging from an overclocker's perspective because of the inclusion of the hardware points. XOC is indeed much more "freestyle" because it requires/allows for a wider range of hardware. @Maj0r, the main idea is to offer people who do not have the financial capability or desire to buy, 'clock, and wreck Core i7's and GTX 780s. If you look at the XOC and even Enthusiast League today, all the top spots are taken by people with Core i7 + latest high-end graphics card. If your budget allows for Core i5 and GTX 770/HD 7950, it's going to be very difficult to be competitive. The same goes for people who prefer to use AMD hardware - no way to be competitive. The format is similar to Pro OC, but the motives are quite different. Apart from the structure, it is best not to compare them to each other. I believe for people such as yourself, who are already very competitive at the upper regions of the XOC League, this new format does not have a lot of added value. Most of top-30 would opt for division 1 anyway, and leave the other divisions for what they are. Thanks for the feedback, though. I am working on a longer article on rev6 to explain the motives for this in more detail. I will address your questions in this too!

- system picture - memory picture (of sticker) - spd memory tab Also, engineers will check if the claimed result is within expectations.

Damn, not too much enthusiasm for ARM I see :(

Getting closer now, expecting some top results. Trouff, livestream is for sure?

Good luck all!

In the blueprint we also have this, Week 1-6: registration, preparation, and qualification (top-50) Week 7-8: benchmark 1+2 Week 9-10: benchmark 3 Week 11: benchmark 4, top10 continues Week 12: benchmark 5, final round So the first cut is after a month and a half. After two months, benchmark 1 and 2 are closed. After two and a half months benchmark 3 is closed, after eleven weeks benchmark 4 is closed and only the top-10 continues for the final week with benchmark 5. So it would not be 3 months for everyone.

Attentive forum viewers may have seen the revision 6 sub-forum around for a while, but never a thread. That changes today. As tradition dictates, every year at the end of the year we plan a new revision. This is not any different in 2013. We planned, and have already begun development of the sixth revision of HWBOT for a couple of months now. Starting from the original ideas, to discussing with key partners and community members, to precisely writing down the things we want to do, to composing this thread. We are still a couple of months away from production-ready code, but the development has advanced far enough to initiate the public discussion. The Plan - Intro. First - everything you see and know today at HWBOT remains as it is. There are no changes to the points, no changes to the leagues, and apart from a couple of minor visual enhancements no changes to the interface. The Overclockers League, Enthusiast League, Teams League, Hardware Masters, and others will continue to exist in its current form and place on the site. In 2014, next year, we will release a new overclocking competition format at HWBOT. In broad terms, you could say we apply the same ideas of the Pro OC change to the Overclockers League. However, of course, there are a couple of differences. Based on the data we gather on competition activity as well as the tripled traffic ratings of the Pro OC pages, we will take the foundations of the Overclockers League and apply them to a Round-based competition structure suited for all amateur overclockers. Those who browsed for coverage of the ASRock overclocking event in Guangzhou, China will have probably seen this picture pop up. In a presentation for a couple of extreme overclockers from China, we announced the plans for next year already. So what is the deal? The Plan - Real deal. Next year introduce a season based competition series called "Challenger Series.” The series consist of seven divisions. Each division has its own hardware requirements. Each season lasts for exactly three rounds of 3 months, and each round consists of five stages. Overclockers compete on their own, not in teams as in Pro OC. Of course, we will keep track of how well team's members are doing across the various divisions. As said, the divisions differentiate by hardware requirements. As you can see in the above picture, the hardware for each division is very different. Division 1 obviously requires the most high-end hardware components to compete for the #1 spot. The lower you go in division, the lower the cost of the hardware. We have two leagues specifically for the AMD users, and even one dedicated to legacy hardware. The hardware requirements are fixed per round, meaning at the beginning of each round you will know exactly what hardware is eligible for competition. With new hardware releases, the requirements may change in between rounds. However, the competition in the rounds is unaffected by new hardware. A season consists of three rounds of each five stages. That equals to fifteen stages. Each round will feature different benchmarks, so the competition emphasis might changes from 2D to 3D and back in between rounds. At the end of a season, the winner is the overclocker who has gathered the most points across the fifteen stages. He will be crowned division champion, and will be marked as such in his user profile. It is possible to change divisions every round. However, it is not possible to join or leave a division if a round is on going. Similar to the Pro OC, you need to register up front to compete in a specific division. If you switch divisions during a season, you are ranked in the last division you were active in at the end of the season. In other words, it is not possible to be ranked in two divisions at the same time. The Plan - Outro. We are currently in the process of developing this new competition structure. We start this thread to inform the community of the plans, and initiate a first public discussion about the concept and maybe the division requirements. As development progresses, we will keep you updated on the whys and how’s of the new competition series. We will explain the exact motives of this new competition format, which include our mission to make overclocking affordable and for everyone. Not everything is set in stone; feedback regarding the timeframe, length, hardware requirements, benchmarks, and more is of course very welcome. To end with, two slides of the presentation we did last month.

Hmm ... Delly has a reputation for this kind of competitions ...

I like Asrock's packaging lately
