Splave Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I assume has to be posted by start of competition, so impact should be fine. Quote

Massman Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Is Impact officially confirmed? Checking with HyperX ... Edited October 19, 2015 by Massman Quote
Farjam Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Nice Rules specialy the part that makes me not able to join the comp Edited October 19, 2015 by Farjam Quote
Massman Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Is Impact officially confirmed? Impact is not allowed because there is no worldwide availability. Will add this to the rules Quote
Achill3uS Posted October 19, 2015 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? Quote
marmott Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I can only find it available on ocuk so I guess same as the Impact, not allowed. Quote
Achill3uS Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 the comp started, iam the only one who did not find the official wallpaper download link? Quote
Demac Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 @Massman @Christian Ney. Can you confirm? Quote

JunkDogg Posted October 20, 2015 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. Quote
Massman Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 List of disallowed motherboards expanded ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Impact is not allowed for the competition because there is no worldwide availability [19.10.15]. GIGABYTE Z170X-SOC Force is not allowed for the competition because there is no worldwide availability [20.10.15]. GIGABYTE Z170X-SOC Force LN2 is not allowed for the competition because there is no worldwide availability [20.10.15]. ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Extreme (and other variants) is not allowed for the competition because there is no worldwide availability [20.10.15]. Quote
JunkDogg Posted October 20, 2015 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
Christian Ney Posted October 20, 2015 Author Posted October 20, 2015 I don't see how it is HyperX's fault if motherboard manufacturers make "paper launches". Quote
JunkDogg Posted October 20, 2015 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? Quote
Massman Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 Looking into the ASRock Z170 OC Formula availability. Quote
