▻The target score is to be revealed on HWBOT on Monday, December 29th

▻Submission will be open for 24 hours on Sunday, January 4th 2015 (following the UTC+08:00 time zone).

[Achill3uS]

what do you mean under target score? will be any limitations like in XTU? or you have to do 6:00:00 min for example, lowest clock wins? or you have to do sub 6:00:00 min to enter the competition like target? or thats all secret

[Massman]

There will be a target score and the first to hit the exact score wins. Otherwise whoever is closest wins.

[Achill3uS]

ahhh clear, thanks PJ, too bad i will be on holiday under stage 3 good luck all

[Yoda]

What's the problem, ToDay?

 

 

Was not able to download the background for a few days. Had it sent me from a friend so sorted now.

[Achill3uS]

i had same issues, now i cannot do retest with cpu bcoz valid is not enough, and during holidays no ln2, no time. wasted effort. good luck all anyway!

[saint19]

Sadly I will only enter for the lucky draw prices. I bought an SOC motherboard but with this holidays days motherboard did not arrived at time and I am running a "crappy" Z97M-D3H...

[Alan_Alberino]

The above quote is taken from the Contest news story if anyone is interested.

 

 

I guess I am not alone in looking forward to hearing what is going on with this contest.

 

Congrats to fgi the winner - well done mate solid scores across all three legs.

[saint19]

I do not get it...

 

455 seconds and 450 second are not almost 7 minutes and 50 seconds?

[Massman]

Oops! Shouldn't be open just yet.

 

The target score will be revealed 48h before the competition ends; the competition will be opened 24h before the competition ends.

 

The target score is within the range you find on the competition page.

small hint, one minutes has 60 seconds - this takes your target between 7m30s and 7m 35 seconds if I calculated correctly^^

Hi sir

 

CPU clock need screenshot？，I was forgot， my screenshot only can 6610mhz, so many high cpu frequency can't capture.

 

my 6810mhz result :http://hwbot.org/submission/2714204

[Alan_Alberino]

So the score will be released con January 3rd and not today?

[fgi]

so if i am corect.

the right time that must be obtained, anywhere between 7 m 50 sec and 7 m 58s will be announced 2 January.

 

No. Target score will be between 7.30m and 7.35m.

7min x 60sec = 420sec +30sec = 450sec

[HiVizMan]

Thank you Massman for clearing this up. I do hope that the target is a very specific target down to the hundreds of seconds just to make it a real challenge.

 

And fgi my friend my money is on you to win.

[HiVizMan]

Hang about - can someone please explain how suddenly some folks have screenshots in stage two submissions when they seemingly did not have any before? I now understand fgi why you tipped others to win and not yourself.

 

Would like official explanation how or why that is allowed.

I guess that you refer to Vivi, laoshu1919 and me...

 

Vivi enter to the stage around 1 hour before its close, laoshu1919 did the same around 30 minutes before I think. In my case, I uploaded the score 5 minutes before the stage close. Anyway, my score doesn't affect you but the others two...

 

Remember that sandbagging still exist...
