Weird. I will create a ticket for a fix

Not for hwbotprime, but for x265 - we will release Havlis new version 2.1 soon and make it mandatory so checking is even easier and safer P.S. I want your ES :v

Haha, retail fails - no ES for you :3

New rookie rumble will start of saturday - sorry for the delay

As said, a stage for server hardware only or with focus on server hardware is no problem for me. We give points for old school hardware, for modern gen, for sponsored guys, for low clocks to even chances and so on. The only problem in fact is mixing it like you said, and that times change is not only at desktop. We have a lot of new challenges ahead at divisions on road to pro with new core count gens, and servers will get more cores as well and so on. I9 is new and 2k now, times change and it is not hwbot that does it, and we all do not want progress to stop, getting 6 cores for price of four before is good. But times change and we have to find new solutions

Closed, the vengeance are now offered locally. Thanks to the buyers and to hwbot for the space

Fixed, link was https which sometimes doesnt work for parts of verification, try to remove s then and try again

If you plan to sell another 7700K please make a new thread - this cpu is sold

All these benchmarks are not awarded with points at the moment as said above, this might change in the future Overclocking, overclocking, and much more! Like overclocking.

Not bad at all^^

#1 sold and payment received, thanks

A lot of this can be done, but some of it was not necessary this time. Core count limit was determined by start date and platforms allowed to 10 this time, on country cup we already have different ending times of stages last years, and we plan to avoid that several big comps end at same time and failed again despite making clear how much this would be needed (cough). The points reward at a defined moment gets harder with number of stages, we tested this already at other competitions with points or prizes and this might cause trouble. If it is easier now to handle technically we could try this again. I see no reason for different backgrounds, and on a competition that runs 3 months and was announced before start time should be no problem to get hardware I think. On a Xeon/Opteron only stage, this could be introduced but people usually forget that the community asked for server hardware excluded from competitions and hwbot did it because of this, so popularity is with the guys who cry the loudest and not majority^^. On a standalone stage which does not mix stuff and uses an older platform, it makes sense nontheless.

Two points, discussing this is futile because we have done this for years, still this needs clatification. First of all server hardware is allowed for hwbot but usually not for competitions , and this is indeed same as ES - ES and unreleased hardware are not allowed for competitions, maybe this is new to you, but it is part of the general rules. Second point is that we cannot go with ebay prices for hardware or that it now is not fastest anymore etc.We can not allow some parts of server stuff and other not, which is why we do not allow server hardware generally for comps (same new and old ES) to have a unified guideline for all. Mixing desktop and server will complicate hwbot even more at competitions, so I would be OK with an old school or community competition for server hardware only, but nothing mixed

Good luck at buying 2011-3 xeons 16 cores+ for 1 million bucks, mabye you get a kilogram then

Yep, cbjaust is right, each overclocker can contribute only with one result per stage

Up

It is always helpful when seller says what is sold and what not...

Booh

Good brainstorming here - I hope for a result of the five rounds that can be agreed on next days, no need to hurry that much but the goal needs to be achieved and I would definitely prefer this over me having to chose in the end

There is no tool that is reliable if it only shows the cores - proper validation is the job of benchers, you can show package with cores which is why hwmonitor is ideal, it is directly at core temps, some guys show core temps and tjmax distance so you can see what is set and that nothing was manipulated and so on. This is especially important because we had already at first round some cpus that did only work with package and even then you had to check twice (Ryzen). Being specific cannot cover all possible cases, and it does not even guarantee screenshots are done correctly^^ - we will always have problems with verification, it can happwen to everyone and at temps it worst case

We accept results without link normally but not without valid screenshot. The link is only mandatory for global top 20 and even then I am not sure it helps, there is no stuff like sysinfo to validate anything on the sub Bolc, if you are only here to complain, I propose you search another site to do so - I am starting to lose patience with you

Sorry but sale of items you do not have physically to post mandatory picture is not allowed, as well as closed box sales.

Maybe you should learn which league allows which cooling - apprentice allows subzero with single stage, dice and chiller which is extreme cooling in limits below LN2 and cascade.

stages which do not allow extreme cooling need temp monitoring

Native 8 cores and lower only, core disabling is not allowed. This should be reason the submission does not work
