    HWBOT Announces Rules and Structure of World Series Asia Contest at Computex 2016

    in HWBOT World Tour

    Posted

    1) Please correct me if my understanding of the World Series rule was mistaken down here.

     

    To join the World Series QUALIFIER, we:

     

    - MUST use CPU Provided by HWBOT (Next-Gen Intel Extreme Series?)

    - CAN use motherboard provided by HWBOT, or

    - CAN use our OWN motherboard as long as it is retail + using retail BIOS

    - MUST bring our own 2D VGA

     

     

    What about Memory, SSD+OS and PSU for the Qualifier, are we allowed to bring our own for these ?Or We MUST use HWBOT-provided Memory, SSD+ OS and PSU as well?

     

     

    2) On the World Series 1v1 face-off at the end of the day, I assume we MUST use every component provided by HWBOT, correct? ( All of it - CPU, M/b, RAM, VGA, SSD, etc. )

     

     

    Thanks :)

    The 2.1Ghz Overclock in the launch demo was certainly very impressive and shows what their 16nm FinFET is very capable of. I'm amazed they could squeeze that much clocks and still maintain the power consumption and thermal output in check.

     

    Now let's see if AMD's 14nm can do similar specs in terms of clocks and performance :)

    IR3567B E-power mod

    Or are there others that I also need to trick? Is there any other things I should be aware of that could be an issue?

    Here's the public datasheet for the IR3567B: http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/pb-ir3567b.pdf

     

    BTW: I've tried BIOS mods and hard mods for the voltages nothing prevents the drop in FPS so this is the only thing I can think of that could work other than the power sensing mods.

     

    From what I've been reading about Fury / Fury X, those card have complicated clock/power/voltage regulation mechanism. In which some controller dynamically adjust/sense/monitor its power/voltage output.

     

    Maybe this said algorithm can make Epowering the card difficult? unless the 'control' mechanism on the card can be bypassed of course..

     

    I've seen some awesome overclocking with Fury series in your blog btw, please tell us more if this experiment is a success :)

    So far the T-Grizzly Kryonaut worked wonders as replacement for Skylake TIMs.

    But since those things cost a lot and cannot be found in Indonesia, I only use it in competition purposes haha ^^

    pretty impressive iGPU man :) did you test how high you can go on air? I mean how much can you gain from air to LN2?

     

    Hi Roman, on Aircooling with 1.45V vGT, I found all three of my CPU got the same exact limit, 1450Mhz bench 3d11 but completely refused to run at 1500Mhz (maybe GT1 pass, but always fail later, maybe temperature?).

     

    On cold the difference starts to show though, the 'bad' ones on LN2 -140C(pot temp) @ 1.7V GT gave me 1700Mhz and won't budge much from there(managed a 1750 on 1.82V but IGP died afterwards).

     

    The only good chip on LN2 managed to hit 1750+ 3d11 on 1.7V vGT.

    I think ill go with the intel based ddr3 config !!

    I think i can manage to find parts to build it ! Would you recommend used gear ? Ive seen some forums i could find what i need i guess

     

    Used gear is okay, you just have to make sure all its functions are working as intended, especially the motherboard, since it controls most of the overclocking functions.

     

    The 'safe' option for used gear are CPU and RAM(not easy to damage these, unless the one overclocking it goes too far), but usually i recommend buying new motherboard if you have no experience testing it. But if you have friends to help you check the conditions, you could consider buying used mobo.

    Hello everyone, i am very new to OC .. but i'd like to get familliar with it !

     

    I had my first overclocking experience recently @ Lan ETS with the HWbot crew.

     

    I would like to build a small rig to get familliar with it, i have a test bench i can use to build it , and a CX600M power supply. (friend almost gave it to me) i was wondering what kind of motherboard and CPU should i start with (remember i have nearly no experience)

     

    i do travel all the time so my computer at home is a laptop, it's really my first time building something :D

     

    i was thinking in buying (used) something like i3-5 or even i7(but i think its a lil expensive to start with).

     

    i also have no experience in bios mods.

     

    Another question i had was is the ram ammount ihave on the motherboard is really important ? if so how much should i get 8gb ? 16gb ? also should i get a gpu or should i use the integrated gpu ?

     

    thanks for your time and help :D !!

     

    Hi there, congratulations for your first step in overclocking!

    You already have a working laptop, so that makes things easier to pick a PC just for learning overclocking.

     

    Here's what I recommend for some first time-builder: Keep things cheap and simple (so on the rare case you do break it, it's not that big of a deal)

     

    Depending on budget, there's lots you can choose. I wanted to give skylake i3 to do Non-K OC since it's more modern and upgradeable, but Z170 motherboard and the platform overall cost are not that cheap, and since the oc is 'unofficial' there's a couple things you cannot do with non-K OC (IGP is disabled, XTU is crippled without AVX), so I'm probably not going to suggest that.

     

    Some of my really cheap options but still offers plenty to learn are:

     

    A) Intel Based, DDR3

    Processor: Pentium G3258 Anniversary

    Motherboard: Any Cheap Z97, like ASRock Z97 Anniversary Board

    RAM: Any cheap 2x4GB DDR3 will do, in my country the Team Vulcan DDR3-2133 2x4GB can be had for 50 USD, and that's using quite a good ICs that can reach 2600+ on some system

    GPU: Integrated(IGP) will do

    SSD: Any 120GB SSD

    Cooling: No need to be too fancy, something along the lines of medium-sized Heatsink are Enermax ETS-T40

     

    or

     

    B) AMD APU based, DDR3

    Processor: AMD A8-7650K or 7670K

    Motherboard: Any cheap A88X motherboard(even some A68 will do), ASUS A88XM-A or ASRock FM2A88X Extreme6+

    RAM: Same as above, cheap 2x4GB DDR3 will do

    GPU: AMD's integrated GPU is quite powerful

    SSD: Same as above

    Cooling: AMD A8-7650K/7670K offers a '95W' quiet cooler that's OK-ish to do some mild OC, but if you can spend more to buy medium-sized heatsink why not ;)

     

    Any two of the above should be suffice to learn the basics of overclocking, such as:

    - Knowing what BIOS variables to change

    - What software to change settings on-the-fly on the OS

    - I suggest Integrated graphics since IGP tuning involves playing a lot with RAM as well, which will be important in competitive OC later

    - Learning the benchmarks(just running some benchmark to see what variables increases the score, etc)

    - The more important things, these two platform can scale quite well using more advanced cooling if you wish to do so (like waterchiller / Dry Ice when you're ready)

     

    I think to make your learning process easier, no need to think about BIOS mods & hardware mods on the first try, your priority should be:

    1) Knowing what your system can do, and how to maximise it

    2) Installing some benchmarks and running it on your system, while figuring out how to maximise the score

     

    Hope that helps :)
