It will vary greatly depend on the board and what the problem the M/B RD Team is trying to solve, sometimes it offers elevated voltage levels the normal BIOS don't have, maybe some fine-tuned auto-rule for DRAM timings, slightly tweaked DRAM training parameters to make boot easier at certain speed, etc. Too bad usually these 'Test' BIOSes were made without a clear release log.( I would call this simply a 'Test BIOS', not a 'XOC BIOS' though, as it's sometimes not really validated for XOC). FOr the T.O6 in particular, the only message I have is that this is the BIOS to try when I wanted to use 9th Gen CPU for RAM Clocking. Not tested much yet, but compared to the 154 BIOS i have previously It solves some training/booting issue I have with 4600CL14 settings on A2 PCB DIMM modules, hope that info helped

Putting it here for G.Skill OCWC 2019 Qualifier T.O6 BIOS for Z370I Gaming Pro Carbon AC (BIOS Release Date 8 April 2019), This should be the latest beta for now. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10Q-uY8y4LbsKPUXfBMX9HjSuzovww0Jk/ Disclaimer: I've flashed the BIOS just to check that it's working, but have not checked the differences in clocking compared to official 1.54/1.6 BIOS, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Noted, thanks Dad

Ah yes I got the BIOS must be shared here, what I asked was whether there's a 'deadline' date for sharing the BIOS versions, e.g is there any rule like "BIOS must be shared/made available before xxx date" ? Or simply made it available before 16 April?

Hi, Just in case I get my CPU and motherboard on time (unlikely considering Indonesian Customs, but hopefully my luck will prevail :p), is there any deadline for BIOS revisions? a.k.a the last day for the bios to be uploaded to HWBOT to be considered public and valid for competition use. Or there is no BIOS deadline? Thanks

Great! Time to do some shopping then, hopefully all arrive in time. Thanks Dad

Whoa 9 places So reading the rules, all Z170,Z270,Z370,Z390 allowed to compete, along with all Skylake, Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake 6C and Coffee Lake 8C processor(and its IGP) ? no clockspeed limit in all stages Correct?

-deleted, wrong thread, move to official thread instead

Definitely a platform where LN2 cost will outweigh the electricity by Far hahahahahah I feel ya mate. Great job btw :D

My particular CPU need 1.5v on IO/SA for these. But the problem is sometimes we need a LOT of retries to just get it to boot, 55 most the time, retry, and do it again . It took me 1 and a half hours just to get this done, wrong strategy on the comp as I haven't get any good 3D scores out.

It was done live on GOC 2018 with random hardware we're given to. I would guess the other Elite guys with better motherboard suited for high-frequencies like XI Gene and better binned Mem + Better IMC we can expect way higher scores soon

A0 is the same, old one with even spacing for the RAM ICs, A2 was the one known as 'RGB' pcb with used in many TridentZ RGBs as you said.

This is your A0 Sticks, correct? I'm still tuning things for A2 as of now, will probably bench again this weekend.

Strong!

Weird, not sure why points are back again, I'm pretty sure I remember to disable it

OMG that is POWERFUL, Good job!!

I can confirm Master Websmile's trick works, I also found this to be really strange that we have to turn on XMP. Tried the EXACT same setting with all manual subtiming but it won't work unless XMP is enabled. And yeah it seems at the moment Z170 MOCF is the best board for running A2 PCB DIMM with 4000+ CL12 everything else tightened up (Compared to this, my X APEX barely managed 3866 tights, will try with more boards)

THIS.IS.MADNESS

See you in the Final mate!! :D

**speechless**

LEGEND!

Whoaaaaaaaaaa

Welcome Back Master Rauf :D

Daaaamn scary score indeed. Keep pushing it man :D

Ah I see, No, I haven't got any LN2 result yet. I'm planning a couple session in a few weeks, but only have 1 GPU pot that has a compatible mount for Turing GPU, so maybe single card only
