The official Gigabyte Core Prime contest! thread.

i guess we cannot use 2 or 4 cores of a 980x for the corresponding categories!? :)

Gee buy a gigabyte board to win a gigabyte board... If I had a board maybe... Maybe if the prizes were better.....

I can't see the "use a Gigabyte-Mainboard" requirement this time, is it simply a mistake, am I going blind or are you allowed to use any motherboard this time?

 

I think most sense would be to allow all boards, otherwise the prizes are some kind of stupid. If I won a competion with me state-of-the-art Gigabyte board, I don't need another one. But if I used an Asus board (just for example) and would win a new Gigabyte-Board I could try this next time ^^

Exactly. This must be specified.

No.

 

can you use amd cpus?

 

Yes.

Does this rules allow to use Hyperthreading in category 4 cores? I think it will be unfair to people who have processors w/o HT.

The cores are physical or HT can be used?.

 

EDIT: Thanks, I don't see your post.

hmmm, and for 1 core ?

I only have a GA-5AX from gigabyte atm.

 

EDIT : also 2 boards s478, one slot one, a s462 and s423. Only 1 Core xD

 

I have a GA-5AX too, with two AMD K6/2, is it a "DualCore" ?!

Prizes are awarded per #cores. So, to win the 4-core prize, you only need to compete in 4-core Wprime 32M and 4-core Wprime 1024M.

 

Not competing in the other stages is no problem

Ok, thks.

Honestly I do not stay clear. If I have a I7 875K, this rise in the category of 4 cores (without HT). O in the category of 6 cores with ht.

With a I3 530 or I5 655K compete in 2 cores without ht?

Again - hyperthreading is a feature of the CPU.

 

875K = 4-cores (with HT)

530/655K = 2-cores (with ht)

Can we use an unlocked X3 as a four core submission? I have tried this but it will not allow it. Can you clarify?

Thanks

so you mean when you unlock the X3 to X4 right? It will show 4 cores and pretty much becomes a 4core processor = yes
