Dancop Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Very nice competition, but how to solve this? Quote
Dancop Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 I've tried win 7 32/64/ Win 8 / Win 8.1 I always get this...I've tried clean installations and so on and so on! I always get this or something like 654645GHZ Quote
Gunslinger Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 Not sure why they'd run a max fixed 5.5GHz frequency that most $1,000+ retail chips can't achieve... Would have made more sense to just do 5GHz for stages 1 and 2 in my opinion, then go full out for stage 3. Quote

I always get this or something like 654645GHZ Nonsense, I have tried every copy of W7 and they all read frequency correctly or +1 multi so it's something you are doing to your OS. Ask everyone at the HOT Finals if the mhz was reported as 0 or any other crazy high value other than +1 multi over what was actually set in bios. Quote
Dancop Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 Nonsense on your side! The problem is also there at fresh os install and bios defaults! Many of the aooc qualifiers had the same issue! Ask Roman, stummerwinter, benchbros....and so on!!! I have that issue on all boards except z97 soc as far as I remember... Quote
der8auer Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Yes I also often have this issue and no idea why. Even on a fresh Win7 with no mods at all. Just installed from the original microsoft disc. Quote
Massman Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Not sure why they'd run a max fixed 5.5GHz frequency that most $1,000+ retail chips can't achieve...Would have made more sense to just do 5GHz for stages 1 and 2 in my opinion, then go full out for stage 3. Because Participants can only use Z97 and X99 platforms. Score will be divided by the number of CPU cores. For example, for a Pentium G3258 the benchmark score will be divided by 2 FYI, rules were made together by marketing, engineering and hwbot. Quote
marmott Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 XTU is divided by the number of cores not threads correct? The G3258 doesn't make more sense then because it has no HT. Quote
saint19 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Could some body explain the prizes? I see that say "Elite League" and "Extreme League" and each one have their prizes. Quote
Massman Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 There are prizes specifically for the Elite and Extreme members. So if you're the best of all Extreme overclockers, you win the prize regardless of how many Elite are in front of you/ Quote
stubass Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 It says ASUS/ROG/TUF graphics card for the FSX sub, forgive me as this month will be my first atempt at Ln2 subzero and not a expert in GPU's.. does the Asus 980 strix fall into the ROG/TUF Asus GPU class? Quote

Dancop Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) solved the problem!!! Like massman said, just install the english version of win7! Edited February 6, 2015 by Dancop Quote
stubass Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Yes, you can use the GTX 980 Strix I thought so lol but just making sure... just need to hard vmod the card and test a modded BIOS and set for my first attempt and Ln2 a GPU.. Also, do all stages finish on the 2nd March??? Quote
Strat Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 solved the problem!!!Like massman said, just install the english version of win7! For me it doesnt work... Pretty annoying issue... Quote
Dancop Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Send me your email...maybe I can help you Quote

raules009 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Enthusiast league can participate ? Quote
Splave Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Can we use sample motherboards and cards or must be bought Quote
saint19 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Enthusiast league can participate ? I would say that you can participate in this one: http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/rogocs_formula_r1 Can we use sample motherboards and cards or must be bought Limitations says not ES...so, samples I think that area allowed no? Quote
Massman Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Enthusiast league can participate ? You may, but the Formula competition will be more suited for Enthusiast I think. Can we use sample motherboards and cards or must be bought Retail (samples) can be used, yes. Quote
