HWBOT Announces World Championship 2016 Final

[Massman]

Best of luck to everyone! :ws: :celebration:

[Rauf]

I think it's a shame that it won't be a fair competition. Good luck bullshooter with afr/mfr in spi32m and physics.

Can't you find a way to make it more fair? Like do separate mem sponsor in finals, or go with non mem intensive benchmarks.

[DrWeez]

Nice, question one, same hardware for the finals? Z170 and 6600k?

[pxhx]

We're on the same boat. HyperX only has Hynix.

[speed.fastest]

Good luck Hazzan!

[TaPaKaH]

do you get disqualified if you use a monitor of a different brand?

[Bulshooter]

The Rules are Crap, who must Bench with Hynix Mems, has no chance.

[marc0053]

I certainly hope that memory is the same for all contestants. It would level the playing field.

[Hazzan]

yeahh agree I think better same all on memory

[Massman]

We committed to this format a long time ago with our World Tour event partners. We intend to keep our promise

[Rauf]

I understand. But to have 32m and 3d11 physics as benchmarks is not fair to contestants or sponsors...

[Bulshooter]

When the system was X99 with MFR we have a little chance, because on Z170 no chance or the people with B-Die are limited with the CPU frequency at 5,5 GHz.

 

[marc0053]

Can we delid and change thermal paste on these i5 6600k and what operating system will be provided for the qualifiers and quarter/semi/grand finals?

[Bulshooter]

Thats is a big joke, we become no Boards from MSI, they dont supported OC.

I can spin the Chip on my fingers and hope i become a good run. lol

[pxhx]

Will we some time before 4th december to use the hardware? My motherboard was sent direct to Berlin.

Same question as Marc, Are CPUs delided? What operating system will be used?

[Massman]

Hey guys,

 

1) Yes, there will be time before the 4th to get ready

2) CPUs can be delided, but we only use @der8auer's tool so we know it's safe. Afterwards we will re-glue the IHS so make sure to keep it

3) The Operating System will be Windows 10

OK, thanks Pieter!

are you serious, they wont give you a motherboard? In that case use whatever you want imo. Unless MSI agreed not to support the Overclockers in the beginning. SMH.

[Bulshooter]

@ Splave

drWeez and i become no Boards from MSI.

I asked Pepi, MSI Germany, Albrecht asked MSI Netherland, no Boards for OC.

[Splave]

I'm sure hwbot staff will help you figure it out

[Bulshooter]

They cant help, i write with PJ on FB

[der8auer]

What about the boards you got from France?

[Bulshooter]

We become in France one Board, the other go back to Pepi.

The Board are dead

[Alex@ro]

Not good,use an Impact and paint a dragon on it Frank Srsly,bad situation

[Leeghoofd]

MSI's contract with HWBOT was clarified in the numerous mails we received. No contestants would be supplied with extra board(s) for the final.

 

Why didn't you RMA it Frank?

 

I think Massman doesn't allow mobo brand swap...
