August 18, 201411 yr Great rules to be honest. Something for AC/WC enthusiasts (XTU stage), lucky draws, something for LN2 clockers, nice stages, great prices, cheap cpus! Good job
August 18, 201411 yr sold my z97-SOC and just use my z87x-oc for 1150 (x08mod2 fine for g3258)... doh edit: point of post being, any chance of a rule change on that front...? Edited August 18, 201411 yr by t8y
August 18, 201411 yr It would be cool to be able to compete with a Z87X-OC since you can win a Z97 board at the end. Edited August 18, 201411 yr by Christian Ney
August 18, 201411 yr Author sold my z97-SOC and just use my z87x-oc for 1150 (x08mod2 fine for g3258)... doh edit: point of post being, any chance of a rule change on that front...? Hey, just double-checked and this competition is Z97 only.
August 18, 201411 yr Where can the X BIOS be found that supports Pentium G3258? Retail F6 only goes up to 2.1v for RAM
August 18, 201411 yr https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18296979/Z97XSOCF_X06.zip This is F7a with unlocked voltages.
August 19, 201411 yr Hey, just double-checked and this competition is Z97 only. no worries. thanks for checking still, shame, hoped we'd all moved past the "Use X chipset mobo to win sameX chipset mobo" type rulesets. though there is also actual cash on offer, which is awesome. guess in hindsight i should have actually tried to win the z97soc-ln2 that OCAU is offering up or just not sold my other z97 so soon too cash strapped to hang onto too much "doubled up" gear atm sadly
August 19, 201411 yr Is there an X bios for the standard Z97X-SOC motherboard (non force) ? Based on F5. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18296979/Z97XSOC_X01a.zip Edited August 23, 201411 yr by sofos1990
August 19, 201411 yr Based on F5. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/18296979/Z97XSOC_X01.zip Thank you
August 19, 201411 yr Can we also say that ln2 on memory is not allowed in stage 1. Well, stage 1 is for enthusiast, novice, and rookie. They'd be extreme if they decide to use Ln2.
August 21, 201411 yr Topdog will participate?....this is gone be interesting... Good luck to all of you guys...
August 24, 201411 yr Why the Z97x-SOC Force LN2 ist not allowed at this competition? It is not a kind of ES-Hardware and benchable for air/water/... Are there any reasons i have missed? MFG
August 24, 201411 yr it's almost imposibel to find it on saile for the moment,and ther whil be other thinks to not alow it Edited August 24, 201411 yr by skulstation
August 25, 201411 yr Author Yup, it's hardly available in retail and gives too much an advantage in memory clocking.
