Massman Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I just read about the need to change away from max memory freq, so fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrWeez Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Hey guys are there no restrictions on PSU and motherboard this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Intel Haswell + Kingston/HyperX memory That's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmott Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share Posted December 13, 2014 Just so everyone is aware about the situation: TeamAU pulled out of the competition and will be replaced by Coolhandluke41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uncle fester Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmott Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 So far the benchmarks are: max memory frequency single DIMM, XTU @5GHz and Cinebench R11.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perica_barii Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Cinerbench is not that related to memory overclocking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 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 !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 So are all of the memory scores being removed because no scope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 they probably should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planet Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle fester Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 We'll deal with it, it's valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 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" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.nfraR.ed Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
