Achill3uS Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Max Memory Clock Rules The highest memory frequency wins. The result must be validated on http://valid.x86.fr/ HWBOT user name must match CPU-Z validation user name The screenshot must contain the following items: official wallpaper, CPU-Z (CPU, Memory, Mainboard, SPD) within 2% of validated frequency so besides valid file you need to take also desktop screenshot with official wallpaper?

JunkDogg Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I can only find it available on ocuk so I guess same as the Impact, not allowed. It's available elsewhere. http://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=Z170+SOC+FORCE&spos=3 But hey, let's not allow another board and make this comp even harder to enter. Great thinking.

JunkDogg Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) That's fantastic. HyperX Fail. oh and btw, you can't buy OCF here in AU either so ban it as well. :rollseyes:. Edited October 20, 2015 by JunkDogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted October 20, 2015 Author Share Posted October 20, 2015 I don't see how it is HyperX's fault if motherboard manufacturers make "paper launches". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkDogg Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 So who's fault is it? I can physically walk into a store here in Australia and buy a SOC Force so why is it banned from the competition? Not much of a paper launch when they are sitting on shelves is it? So by restricting people from entering who have hardware from the comp it can't be anyone but HyperX fault can it?
