stubass Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Sorry I posted something similar in round 1.. Just to clarify, all rounds, all stages are done with air or water with temps in XTU above 25C? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubass Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share Posted February 27, 2015 Thanks Massman for the confirmation. Because the rules you confirmed, this is going to be a great competition for all levels of overclockers... Great job HWBot and Gigabyte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skulstation Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) what to do if you have a xtu score whit -- for the temperature and a 0 for the Ghz? its a clean instal of win 7 whit sp1 i am not alowed to submit becos of this. * The CPU load temperature must be higher than 25°C - your submission is incomplete. edit: i trayd 3 windows and 2 bios versions stil the same -- and 0 for temp and cpu speed Edited March 1, 2015 by skulstation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikecdm Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 So to clarify, we are only trying to reach the targets. One of the two targets will be the real target, but scores in between don't really matter? Only hitting the target or closes to the target without going over/under is what matters? what to do if you have a xtu score whit -- for the temperature and a 0 for the Ghz?its a clean instal of win 7 whit sp1 i am not alowed to submit becos of this. * The CPU load temperature must be higher than 25°C - your submission is incomplete. edit: i trayd 3 windows and 2 bios versions stil the same -- and 0 for temp and cpu speed Use English version of windows or ask dancop. It seems he had this same issue and I think i remember something about him switching to an english version fixed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinos22 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) So to clarify, we are only trying to reach the targets. One of the two targets will be the real target, but scores in between don't really matter? Only hitting the target or closes to the target without going over/under is what matters? I will bold this so others can see The rule is to submit as much as possible between the shown range. The target is secret and will be revealed only after the submissions are closed for each stage. What we have provided for you is the range (so the target score for current stage is between 300-340 points for example, it might be 301 or 315 or whatever, we will reveal that at end of the stage). If you hit the target you get a point. So if you submit 2 scores only for a stage and range is for 40 points difference, you have a 2/40 chance of hitting the target score. Therefore, all the subs matter for each stage. I have preset all the ranges and targets before competition started if you were wondering.

Mikecdm Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Thats a much better explanation than what the rules state. Got more questions and a bit of criticism. 1. The actual winning target is kept secret until after the submission period. 2. The participants who reached that secret target cumulate a point. 3. The participant with the most point at the end wins the stage. 4. Tie breakers are decided by looking at submissions time, if two participants hit the same target starting from the earliest target) the one with the earliest submission wins. 1-The winning target is not really kept secret. Once someone has reached the target, it shows that they have hit it. The image below shows this. 2-Does this mean that everyone that hit the "secret" target will receive one point. As of now, it looks like 3 of us will receive 1 point for the 2 core stage. 4-If we continue to hit the secret target from every stage until the end. Will the winner be the person who hit the target first for stage 1? If the trend continues until the end, it looks like Paulie_AU was the first to hit 339.

skulstation Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Use English version of windows or ask dancop. It seems he had this same issue and I think i remember something about him switching to an english version fixed it. i have used 3 english versions 2 whit sp1 and one whit out sp1, and all have the same situation.even whit upping the multi by one above stock gave me -- for the temps and 0 for cpu speed. i am letting this comp go, good luck to the rest.

Also latest XTU from Intel website. edit: Reinstalled XTU: no change Updated Bios on Asus to 1603: no change Used Bios F7e on Gigabyte: no change Tried ME 9.5: no change Seems Im lost... edit2: Tried new Win7 Sp1 installation without any updates or drivers.

I got: Watchdog Present: true Running at Boot: False Failed: False Xtu is one of those benches that are a real pia to even get working. I couldn't get it working for over a year from laziness of not figuring out why. In the end for me, it was due to my "base" os being stock win7. Iirc, it needed some random ms updates to get working. That's on top of upto date intel management drivers. So give a fully updated windows is a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Strunkenbold Posted March 2, 2015 Crew Share Posted March 2, 2015 My 24/7 rig is fully updated but still I get nothing. Why doenst XTU installer checks for needed updates? Who does fully update his bench OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatBoyNotSoSlim Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Yeah, I'm not sure either. My daily gaming pc had no issues running it, on fully patched Win7 64bit Ultimate. My base bench os, was Win7 sp1 enterprise, wouldn't work. Eventually got it working somehow, imaged right away at that point for a new base os. But yeah, for most of 2014 I did no XTU because it just wouldn't run at all for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achill3uS Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) switching to english language solved also for me the temp issue with uploading the xtu file. thanks for the tip Mike. but the rules still confusing me sorry. so you have to reach an exact target score which is secret until you dont hit it, so basically we just blind shooting the scores within the range and hope you will hit the bulls eye? what is the tweak in that?

Massman Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Switch to English version of Windows will resolve the temperature issue. IIRC Dancop posted this a month ago for the ROG competition. The target hits are now obfuscated until the end of the competition. Achill3us, that's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 No, the targets are all the same. I guess you guys got a lucky one this time around (if 339 was indeed the target) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
