October 1, 20168 yr 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.
October 4, 20168 yr I certainly hope that memory is the same for all contestants. It would level the playing field. Edited October 4, 20168 yr by marc0053
October 6, 20168 yr Author Like do separate mem sponsor in finals, or go with non mem intensive benchmarks. Â We committed to this format a long time ago with our World Tour event partners. We intend to keep our promise
October 6, 20168 yr I understand. But to have 32m and 3d11 physics as benchmarks is not fair to contestants or sponsors...
October 10, 20168 yr 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. Â
November 10, 20168 yr 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?
November 15, 20168 yr 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
November 20, 20168 yr 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?
November 21, 20168 yr Author Hey guys, Â 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

In that case use whatever you want imo. Unless MSI agreed not to support the Overclockers in the beginning. SMH.
November 21, 20168 yr @ Splave drWeez and i become no Boards from MSI. I asked Pepi, MSI Germany, Albrecht asked MSI Netherland, no Boards for OC.
November 21, 20168 yr Crew 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. Â Why didn't you RMA it Frank? Â I think Massman doesn't allow mobo brand swap... Edited November 21, 20168 yr by Leeghoofd
