Apologies if this has already been asked, but why no Pitcairn/Curaçao for SC1.5, Fire Strike Extreme? Doesn't seem fair to leave out the poor HD 7870/R9 270X, he just wants to play too...

 

BTW comp organizers, well done, awesome stages this year!

Qestion about SC:3 Legacy (DDR2) •Stage 3: Wprime 1024 - Mobile Core/NetBurst

Is Penryn Core is allowed? I have a Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 "Penryn" Socket P system.

  • Administrators

a Mobile Celeron (Northwood), Mobile Pentium 4 (Northwood), Mobile Celeron (Merom), Mobile Pentium 4 (Prescott), Mobile Pentium (Merom), Mobile Pentium (Yonah) processor

The stage is limited to these cpus, because of the mass of possible candidates it was cut down to these to make things clear for benchers

Still see this every time I try to submit to SC4 stage 6

The webpage at Apache Tomcat/7.0.59 - Error report might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED

 

Yet I see other subs in that stage. WHY?

I have honestly no idea, Scotty. I made a test submission and it worked immediately without any problem, I use Firefox. Maybe try another browser or double check size of screenshots and also if you have a typo or something else that kills the fun

P.S. Will delete sub this evening :D

SC4: Vintage - Stage 2 (Aquamark)

Only use processors from the 350,346,160,347 family

What are these families? These looks more like Celeron D series, but from LGA775.

So what specific s478-processors allowed, or all of them allowed? Thanks for attention.

Hm, does any of these even support DDR2?

 

Edit: I guess Merom and Yonah does, but the rest?

SC4 is ddr1 stage.... please do not raise idea to use ddr2 on this^^

I don't know who you answered, but my post above is regarding SC3 stage 3

Anyone else having locking issues with cpuz and Socket A cpus... I can run the benchmark, but during validation cpu-z always locks at 15%... even at stock clocks lol

Sorry, was a bit distracted - there are Prescott results with ddr2, I think I saw Northwood as well. Might be a good idea to do some research

 

@Albrecht try to disable some functions at cpuz ini, set values to 0 instead of 1, might be dmi or another check that makes it freeze

Wound up being a browser issue. Works fine in Firefox. I was using Chrome before. Funny though, I have subbed in other stages without having to change from Chrome.

Sadly no, this is what hurts me personally a bit, but no exceptions. For all stages no server hardware, only exception is Skulltrail because it was a desktop gaming concept that Intel branded this way despite socket 771 used

 

To me this is wrong in the part for socket 939 Opterons.

These are desktop CPUs.

For server you would need s.940.

 

If I remember correctly certain dual-cpu s.939 boards with nF4 chipset exist, which support Athlon64/Sempron CPUs, so going by this logic you should ban them too.

 

As long as a s.939 Opteron is used, I don't see a problem.

Why allow Skulltrail, but no s.939 Opterons that are basically the same as their Athlon64 counterparts.

 

Can you elaborate on the subject why these specific Opterons are not allowed.

Maybe there's something I don't know or missed in the discussion.

 

PS: And sorry if I ask the same question, but did not find an answer by searching the thread. I know we (participants) are annoying at times :).

All Opterons are server cpus, no matter which socket, as well as xeons are server. If we allow 939 opertons, people will say this is not fair unless you allow xeon 3110 and 3210 and so on... The decision is a general one, we decided to disallow server parts to rule out expensive, rare parts to appear at certain stages, every exception would only cause trouble and confuse people what to use or not

I have two Asus boards that I was thinking of using, a P35 & P55 that have workstation in the name so can they be used for Team Cup?
