  1. Last weekend there was the 2nd RoG Camp powered by ASUS & PCGH joined by some AwardFabrik-guys like stummerwinter, SoF, fuzz3l and @rne in Berlin. Xtreme, Water and Air-Cooling Overclockers came together and took a look at new hardware such as Ares II and overlocking-related topics.

    This time "stummerwinter" and "SoF" guided through the extreme part of the event with some systems based on Intel's 3770K and Maximus V Extreme motherboards.

    Stummerwinter explained how to prepare a board properly with practical hints and tips. Both - Boris and Chris - took off the heatpipe and used art eraser all over the i/o, socket and VRM area to avoid any damage during the LN2-cooled runs.

    Stummerwinter showed 6850+ in 1m with a new CPU binned during that event while SoF tried to push some 3x GPU scores with GTX 580 Matrix on his good old week 18 c055 chips running 6500+ MHZ 3D easy all the day.

    All in all it was a nice day with some really good chats - thanks ASUS & PCGH!

     

    report @AwardFabrik

    report @PCGHX

  2. how you will handle the switch, creating teams and so? as I currently see only 25% of the currently considered people directly joining the new way, how you handle all the others? put them back into XOC, deleting their ES scores or let them "unranked" until proper way of new challenge is approved for new guys?

     

    btw: Talked to Crazzzy85 during the week-end who also is considering going back to XOC as it seems.

     

    had a nice chat, was a good "competition" with him in the "old pro league" without any timeframe...

  3. I am sure thats a really big mistake to end the Pro league...

    Regardless I completely agreed new competitions, agreed to encourage enthusiasts to keep overclocking... I do not agreed to change the league that was my inspiration...I believe all the Pro League guys thinking like me....

    Best wishes

     

    Yes I agree - removing the Pro-League completely would suck big time.

     

    If all the Pro league guys think the same as you, why do they not speak?

     

    Personally because I am tired of thoose silly new ideas on any new revision.

    I mean the Pro-league was just introduced, we all tried to keep up - no matter if you are fighting to stay within' TOP30 or TOP10.

    Having his 15 best global scores ranked was just fine for me...

     

    ... but why do you think replacing the League with a Cup also means that there will be no more high-end hardware? The whole point of the Cup is to have something like the League, only with:

     

    - defined timeframe

    - small teams instead of users

    - smaller selection of hardware and benchmarks

     

    Exactly this "replacing" is the main issue - you will erase something you have just introduced with rev 4.

    If you add the "Pro-competitions" to the existing league and just put the league in the "backround" it would be all fine.

     

    I will not be in any fixed timeframe competitions, neither am I buying things only for a single competition.

    The way it is currently planned does not attract me at all.

  4. I haven't seen release of 1.63 mentioned on any OC forum I visit so would have hit the same trap had I not seen this thread.

    May be it would be a good thing for hwbot to somehow publish such notifications? :)

     

    yeah as usual and there is some benching this week-end...good it is "only" 3D so validation is not needed but still another of those pita cpuz updates...
