June 30, 201410 yr Author The competition rules for the stages apart from the LATAM qualifier are not confirmed yet. Expect them to be very similar though. But that's the reason why the pages are not fleshed out yet
June 30, 201410 yr If someone is not sure about something, please ask here. I'm sure we can help. Basically anything and everything hardware. Is it just restricted to Kingston ram, or will there be more restrictions?
June 30, 201410 yr Chispet allowed may vary too, so far Z87 only for LATAM and Far East. We saw that Z97 may be a bit more gifted than Z87 when it comes to memory OC. So we want to avoid any complain about having to use the latest Z97 chipset. edit: by Z87 and Z97 I mean Intel 8 Series and 9 series chipsets

December 13, 201410 yr Author Just so everyone is aware about the situation: TeamAU pulled out of the competition and will be replaced by Coolhandluke41.
December 14, 201410 yr So unless I'm missing a post. What platform are we benching at final What benchmarks ? How's it being scored ?
December 14, 201410 yr Administrators http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?289993-HyperX-OC-Takeover-2015-World-Finals-Event-Info-and-Registration Should answer a few questions
December 19, 201410 yr Can all Overclockers attending please discuss competition layout ? would people like a fixed CPU frequency for 32m and XTU this will eliminate the best CPU wins regardless issue and force it to be about memory overclocking ? Please chime in !
December 19, 201410 yr So far the benchmarks are: max memory frequency single DIMM, XTU @5GHz and Cinebench R11.5.
December 20, 201410 yr So far the benchmarks are: max memory frequency single DIMM, XTU @5GHz and Cinebench R11.5. Please GOD DITCH Cinebench it's all CPU Power !!! Memory means nothing bring back 32m !!!
January 7, 201510 yr 3 guys at the exact same mem speed? lolwut It's almost like they are using the same hardware or something?
January 8, 201510 yr These were benched live on controlled OS no registery tweaks were performed to skew results my score is legit. Osilliscope no need benched live hwbot judges Christian ney and massman.
January 8, 201510 yr Fester Not saying your score isn't legit, but there was what 11 guys benching no way that 2 judges can watch everybody. Massman was also the one that made the rule about scopes for X99.
January 8, 201510 yr Author So are all of the memory scores being removed because no scope? No, we checked all the scores and the results were done at a live environment. FYI, this is what was written in the article: "For memory frequency validation records it seems obvious we must rely on additional verification by means of the oscilloscope, or at live events by verifying correct functioning of the motherboards prior to the record attempts"
January 8, 201510 yr So, does it mean only valid DDR4 subs would be from those participating in the handful live events during the year or records by vendors with oscilloscopes? How would you know some random guy didn't tweakthe registers if he didn't bench live or has no oscilloscope?
