DrWeez Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 cool! quick question: the prize pool is for the competitors with the most points from 3d + 2d stages? or is there separate prize pools for the 2d and 3d stages? Quote
rtsurfer Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Let's try this one more time. ES RAM allowed or not...? Quote
pepinorang Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Let's try this one more time. ES RAM allowed or not...? I think it is pretty clear: "Engineering samples or hardware that is not retail/commercially available at the beginning of the contest are not allowed" However we can add CPU-Z SPD tab as you suggested for sure, but given how easy it is to change SPD, it wouldn't make much difference...

Thanks for the answer man. I'd still say add SPD tab. Quote
pepinorang Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) After discussing, MSI decided to remove the time limitations in each stages. This means you only need to complete the 3 stages before the end of the 2D battle. This is to give more time to overclockers to prepare the comp, especially extreme ocers that have to get the board. I hope everyone will be satisfied with this late minute change and I apologies in advance to those who would feel differently. Edited July 23, 2015 by pepinorang Quote
nvidiaforever2 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 hi , There's still a time limitation on oc-esport. 6 days left for 1st stage . Quote
pepinorang Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 hi , There's still a time limitation on oc-esport. 6 days left for 1st stage . Yes, because I'm faster to post than HWBOT is to make modification. Quote
TaPaKaH Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I don't know of a simple way to flash SPD with DDR4 so you might as well add the CPU-Z SPD tab requirement Quote

If Hwbot is gonna add the SPD requirement, they should do it soon before we have Extreme guys complaining about having to rebench. Quote
filmbot Posted July 24, 2015 Posted July 24, 2015 As it seems to be more present in every competition, especially non-subzero, is there a real language breakdown between "single core" and "single CPU"? Always someone running 4/8, 4/4, 2/2 etc during "single core" stages that confounds me. Quote
DrWeez Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 It has been added last week. Does SPD work in win xp with x99? Quote
pepinorang Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Does SPD work in win xp with x99? I don't see a reason why it wouldn't, let me try that for you! EDIT: Just tried on Sam OS, it shows nothing... Never checked before so unsure it's the lighten OS or it's not supported. Edited July 27, 2015 by pepinorang Quote
DrWeez Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 From only:$39.95 hope the free version is enough. can we get the rules updated one last time please? i already have to redo 32m so will just wait now for the rules to settle. Quote
pepinorang Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 @dRweEz: As I said to you, AIDA64 free version is fine to display SPD in Windows XP. For others OSes, CPU-Z SPD Tab is preferred. Quote
xobonesox Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 just curious if only two people have competed in the extreme 2D challenge by the end of this competition will they be giving the extra prizes to the ambient 2D challenger? Quote

I can assure you, there will be more than two people competing in the extreme 2D challenge Quote
DrWeez Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I can assure you, there will be more than two people competing in the extreme 2D challenge agree 100% Quote
xobonesox Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 just a suggestion define what type of ambient hardware can be used next time because I was thinking it would be anything that pushes surrounding air to help cool your system and not ice buckets (which is something I just learned but a cool trick =P) Quote
