AMD only team? cool

In this thread we maintain a list of helpful overclocking guides for overclocking Z170 and Skylake CPUs. The list consists of English and international languages, written and video, general and detailed overclocking stuff. Feel free to post a message with links to other guides!

Best 10 competition results in the past 365 days. So a year from now, all the points will be refreshed for everyone.

If I may ask - what's the avatar from?

General Information The Teams League is the only leaderboard that ranks communities by their overclocking strength. Each overclocker member of the team contributes to the team’s points in two ways. First, there are the Team PowerPoints which are awarded to the best score of the team in any benchmark or hardware ranking. Second, a tenth of the total member points also contributes to the team. Thus, the formula to calculate the Team League is as follows: TL = SUM [ALL(TeamPowerPoints) + 1/10 (member points)] You can find the Teams League here: http://hwbot.org/league/teams Latest Standings

General Information The Overclockers League is the most prominent leaderboard at HWBOT. Developed by former staff member Mtzki and introduced in 2006, the League has undergone many updates to accomodate all aspects of overclocking. In its current form, the League is based on three parameters: benchmark rankings, hardware rankings, and competitions. Your Overclockers League score is calculated as follows: OCL = SUM [Top15(benchmark) + Top20(hardware) + Top10(competition)] The League is sub-divided in five categories, depending on your status in the overclocking world. There are: Elite, Extreme, Enthusiast, Novice, and Rookie overclockers. Each class has its own leaderboard, but the points are all based on the same algorithms and points. The classes are defined as follows: Elite: The top crop of the overclocking world – compete with LN2, engineering samples and connected to the hardware industry. Extreme: Compete with all types of extreme cooling and use retail hardware. Not backed by the hardware industry. Enthusiast: Use only ambient cooling Novice: Use ambient cooling and has been at the site less than one year Rookie: Use ambient cooling and has been at the site less than three months You can find the Overclockers League here: Combined: http://hwbot.org/league/ Elite: http://hwbot.org/leagues/elite Extreme: http://hwbot.org/leagues/extreme Enthusiast: http://hwbot.org/leagues/enthusiast Novice: http://hwbot.org/leagues/novice Rookie: http://hwbot.org/leagues/rookie Let's use this topic to chit-chat about what's going on in the leagues!

Can you change the language settings to use the US settings? (so the decimal symbol is '.' instead of ',') I really hope this bug isn't back again ...

Ooh, this should be interesting. Haven't seen too many DDR3 results on Skylake. I wonder how they stack up against DDR4.

Also 2 French overclockers in the top-5

Gradus, Trodas: I like your enthusiasm, but your request fit a lot better in the "Old School is Best School" competition The goal for this competition is to use low-end, current generation graphics cards and have fun with them. The goal is not to limit everything ...

Cool. It will take me a while to write the queries again to generate the tables efficiently. I'll do it progressively over the next couple of months ... hehe

Just posting to say thanks in advance for this thread. Should another epic one featuring the Teachings of Bullant

For the "old school" version, just send PM to me or xxbassplayerxx. For the extreme ones ... no idea.

Hm, okay. The sidebar is a bit obnoxious on the mobile (with regular style) though. But then again, it's also not awesome on desktop

Slamming it!

Oh, right. Click on the head of each column to sort the table

Trying the new tables in the OP. Let me know if this is better, or you prefer the list.

Hey guys, So quick update on the forum progress: I've added BBcode to support tables. I'm not sure why it's not showing up in the advanced manager yet, but I'll try to fix that. Here is the guide on how to use it: Example [/table="head;autonum=1;autonumtitle=Pos.;width=100%"]Score|Overclocker|CPU|CPU Freq|Memory|Mem Freq|Mem Timings|{colsp=2}Motherboard|Link 358.156|l0ud_sil3nc3|Core i7 6700K|5002.45MHz||1802.7|11-15-15-28|ASRock||[url=http://hwbot.org/submission/2943352]link[/url] 366.906|NAMEGT|Core i7 6700K|5000.00 MHz||3332.7|CL14-16-16-28 1T|ASUS|Maximus VIII Gene|[url=http://hwbot.org/submission/2944323]link[/url] 369.346|Digg_de|Core i7 6700K|5000.00 MHz||3200||ASRock|Z170 Extreme4|[url=http://hwbot.org/submission/2953045]link[/url] 385.491|Digg_de|Core i7 6700K|4900.00 MHz||3200||||[url='http://hwbot.org/submission/ 2948779 _']link[/url] 389.236|Digg_de|Core i7 6700K|4900.00 MHz||3200||||[url='http://hwbot.org/submission/ 2948709 _']link[/url] 397.495|Hades|Core i5 6600K|4900.00 MHz||2800 MHz|15 17 17 37|ASRock|Z170 Extreme6|[url='http://hwbot.org/submission/ 2954713 _']link[/url] 410.000|Ziken|Core i7 6700K|4800.00 MHz||||||[url=http://hwbot.org/submission/2942656_]link[/url] Table: [table=head;autonum=1;autonumtitle=Pos.;width=100%]Score|Overclocker|CPU|CPU Freq|Memory|Mem Freq|Mem Timings|{colsp=2}Motherboard|Link 358.156|l0ud_sil3nc3|Core i7 6700K|5002.45MHz||1802.7|11-15-15-28|ASRock||link 366.906|NAMEGT|Core i7 6700K|5000.00 MHz||3332.7|CL14-16-16-28 1T|ASUS|Maximus VIII Gene|link 369.346|Digg_de|Core i7 6700K|5000.00 MHz||3200||ASRock|Z170 Extreme4|link 385.491|Digg_de|Core i7 6700K|4900.00 MHz||3200||||link 389.236|Digg_de|Core i7 6700K|4900.00 MHz||3200||||link 397.495|Hades|Core i5 6600K|4900.00 MHz||2800 MHz|15 17 17 37|ASRock|Z170 Extreme6|link 410.000|Ziken|Core i7 6700K|4800.00 MHz||||||link [/table] Enjoy! :celebration:

Also trying out a new mobile style for those who trying to read the forums on the move

Still trying to add some features like the thanks button, sidebar (not sure if useful), improved SEO. I want to add more styling options for forum posts (ie. tables). Anything else you guys want?

Based on this, probably http://www.guru3d.com/content-page/contact-us.html
