steponz Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 I'd love to be able to tweak on ambient and have the massive pool of scores to compare with, though. If you want ambient then also have a 4ghz. Still you will need cold for imc ... I'm definitely up for a 4ghz all the way around. Quote
zeropluszero Posted September 29, 2015 Posted September 29, 2015 As for the "mere mortals dont need to apply" comment, well, that is despondence. Yes, compared to first batches, the ES are usually a bit better, but not that much. This is not like you suggesting a difference between man and God (when we dwell into the superstitions).And compared to later batches are the ES mostly par to par or even worser that normal retail CPU's. I'm speaking entirely of ES/sample kits of ram, nothing at all to do with CPUs. Quote
Achill3uS Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 (edited) since you can edit spd and even ES kits has same spd as retail you will never know its ES or retail memory. but to be honest whats the point not using them? i dont think it would be unfair at all... this is about fun, tweaking and learn from each other, no prize or money to win so it makes no sense to "overlimiting" more than the fixed cpu/cache... the more ppl join the better i would vote for ambient 4G/5G and subzero 4G/5G so all parties could be satisfied...

Massman Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 I don't think we need to exclude ES. It's too difficult to detect and to easy to workaround. If overclockers with ES want to, they can always say it's ES in the description of the submission. No need to make it more complicated ... Quote
zeropluszero Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 they can always say it's ES in the description of the submission. This is all I'm asking for, that they are encouraged to mention ES/Sample in the description. Quote
Massman Posted September 30, 2015 Author Posted September 30, 2015 I want to add this in the submission form somewhere. Like we added GPower and stuff Quote
rtsurfer Posted September 30, 2015 Posted September 30, 2015 since you can edit spd and even ES kits has same spd as retail you will never know its ES or retail memory. Sure about that..? I was told editing SPD on DDR4 might not be that simple. http://forum.hwbot.org/showpost.php?p=396748&postcount=12 If the companies hand it out with retail SPD, then yes, its all pointless. Quote

Crew Sweet Posted December 1, 2015 Crew Posted December 1, 2015 Massman, Step 3 is Physics Score of 3d'11, but link is like sp 32, hours, minutes, seg...impossible upload the score for example 12435 or more. Quote
KaRtA Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 What Sweet mentioned. I just came across the same thing. Quote
sskmercer Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 This is a great idea and wish I had seen this sooner, mind you my Skylake gear is in the post. Also some of the ideas above are great as well, like diff platforms and lower clocks for ambient to get more people involved. Was this ever on the front page to get more attention for it. Quote
delly Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 Massman, Step 3 is Physics Score of 3d'11, but link is like sp 32, hours, minutes, seg...impossible upload the score for example 12435 or more. same thing Quote
Crew Sweet Posted January 2, 2016 Crew Posted January 2, 2016 PJ, @Massman listen to the people, please , well, haha only three guys Me ( maybe im a old guy) KaRtA and delly, and happy new year Pieter, for you and your loved ones Massman, Step 3 is Physics Score of 3d'11, but link is like sp 32, hours, minutes, seg...impossible upload the score for example 12435 or more.

Massman Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Sorry, just fixed it. I'll make a news post about it on Monday or so to promote the contest Quote
Noxinite Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Sorry, just fixed it. I'll make a news post about it on Monday or so to promote the contest Is it possible to even find this competition without going through this thread? I can't find a link to it on either the main HWBot or OC-Esport pages Quote
Massman Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 It used to not be visible, but I've added it to the regular places now Quote
jpmboy Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 How is a submission's 5003 MHz limit determined? CPUZ? Quote
jpmboy Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I ask since I see several subs with CPUZ reporting 5005MHz? Quote
Administrators websmile Posted March 16, 2016 Administrators Posted March 16, 2016 Stick to 5003, this was always the limit here at our lowclock threads, unfortunately we will have to remove the above limit subs at the end of the competition - CPUZ readout core is the standard for valid or not Quote
jpmboy Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 CPUZ, yeah that's the issue. In many cases, for many of the highest in the XTU category for example CPUZ is reporting 5000 for 102.15x49. It can't do multiplication. But thanks for the reply. If CPUz readout in the screenshot is the rule, I now understand how the game is played. Quote
Massman Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 Quick question: would you guys be okay switching the point system to the one like we use for the Challenger divisions this year? Quote
Alex@ro Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Oh no,not another brilliant change.... Why would anyone want that point system for low-clock challenges? It makes a low clock challenge uselles given the nature of that point system ,just take a look at xtu ranking,first place has 100 points and 10-th place has 98.9,why would anyone push hard when they receive more or less the same points.... Quote
Noxinite Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 No, I think as it is at the moment is good. P.S: Any chance for a Haswell one? Or will these be done only for current architecture? Quote
Massman Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 I can add a Haswell one if there's enough interest Quote
