January 30, 201510 yr Author 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
January 31, 201510 yr 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.
January 31, 201510 yr I've tried win 7 32/64/ Win 8 / Win 8.1I always get this...I've tried clean installations and so on and so on! I always get this or something like 654645GHZ Â 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.
February 1, 201510 yr Author 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...
February 1, 201510 yr 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.
February 2, 201510 yr 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. Â 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.
February 2, 201510 yr XTU is divided by the number of cores not threads correct? The G3258 doesn't make more sense then because it has no HT.
February 3, 201510 yr Could some body explain the prizes? Â I see that say "Elite League" and "Extreme League" and each one have their prizes.
February 4, 201510 yr 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/
February 4, 201510 yr 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?
February 4, 201510 yr 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/ Â That's what I thought, nice idea.
February 5, 201510 yr Author solved the problem!!! Like massman said, just install the english version of win7! Edited February 6, 201510 yr by Dancop
February 7, 201510 yr 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???
February 7, 201510 yr solved the problem!!!Like massman said, just install the english version of win7! For me it doesnt work... Pretty annoying issue...
February 9, 201510 yr It does not let me post to discussion from contest discussion page. Edited February 9, 201510 yr by FUGGER
February 12, 201510 yr 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?
February 16, 201510 yr 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.
