You see the worst in everyone. I thought I was being a little helpful to hint at there actually being a tweak so he would not waste time on endless reruns. -

What an unexpected and funny comment! You thought of it all by yourself? :celebration: -
ROG OCS Team Edition: Team can be created for the occasion
Rauf replied to rtsurfer's topic in HWBOT Competitions
I think this excludes too many teams. How many teams have 3 rookies/novices? We are a top 20 team but have 0 active rookies and 0 active novices. Not so strange as new members by default are placed in "rookies of XXX". The idea to focus on newcomers is good, and to mix in some extremes and elites could be a good way to get the two parties to connect and collaborate. But right now I'd have to switch teams and then I could only do one stage. So you can see that it is not gonna happen... Also, 1080 on ln2 is yet another F you to the elites/extremes In general I agree with Splaves post as well -

It helps to minimize condensation. Maybe also reduce wear and tear of MB due to PCB getting extremely cold. -

Crazy chip! -
I think this is an irrelevant discussion because enthusiast league as a whole is broken. Some of the reasons why it is broken: - It is pay to win: Buy server hw or 4-way titans with 6950X and collect WR points. - HW-points are broken: You can get your hw-points very high with locked skylakes and probably upcoming locked kabys etc. It is impossible to get 50-pointers on ambient cooling in "proper" categories. - The whole cooling issue: What is allowed/not allowed? How can it be enforced? Is it a good thing to prevent people from pushing their systems by benching outside, with ice buckets, tap water etc? - People are discouraged by the amount if rules (written and unwritten, like cooling categories) and verification rules. - Points distribution as there is no real scaling of points below top 3, which is impossible in enthusiast league. In my mind fixing the enthusiast league should be top priority. If there is no good ground to stand on OC will continue to dwindle. Some of the changes I would like to see for enthusiast league (and maybe elite/extreme as well): - Get rid of WR points. No pay to win! - Equal score=shared points. Mostly locked CPUs will be affected by this. - Get rid of apprentice league and allow all cooling except SS, dry ice, cascade, LN2. This will promote actually pushing your system to the max, and this is what OC is about. It will make it harder to cheat as the things people normally do is no longer considered cheating. Not everyone can bench outside at -20C, but everyone can get access to ice and cool their rads to about -20. Yes, people can still cheat with SS or LN2 but it is so much harder to access. - Handle verification rules less strictly for enthusiasts (except maybe for top 10 ranked enthusiasts). If there is something missing in a screenshot, but a valid link to Fire strike or whatever benchmark, what's the problem? Also for competitions, if there is something small missing but the sub is very likely to be legit, why discourage the user by blocking the score if he/she is not top 10 and the score does not affect the final top 10 ranking in the comp? Elites and extremes can be expected to know every benchmark and read the rules carefully, but why be so strict for the ones that keep it at an appropriate hobby level? It is hard enough to get everything right even for elites... - And finally, find a way to better differentiate globals and hw-points for enthusiast league. The difference between top enthusiast score and 20th place is like 3-5 points...

Strong CPU and strong score! But is it really at 2.0V!?

I see lots of subs missing the "R1" in the top right corner. What's up with that?

Good luck! The big freeze was awesome, but I can't prioritize this event this year. -
