In Challenger Division I round 1 the processor choice is limited to Core i7 series (non-HEDT).

 

So none of the HEDT CPU's on Intels list are allowed?

a 6950X is an i7. the rules do not seem to exclude this. Unfortunately, the Titan Pascal is tho. a bit incongruent. $1600 CPU but no $1200 GPU?

oops, my bad... HEDT is excluded. (daaum)

The division one is completely i7 without high end destop. We made this decision to divide it from pro oc and to limit financial needs to compete

Lol, unless you have a 6950x and are not a pro. :-)

Great, i7-6950X vs i7-6700K in same category wasn't logic, like it lot more now Great decision!

yeah, last year it was basically an Open comp... now really have to spend $$ on pots and LN2 to compete. oh well.

So 4 core i7's only?

Yes, no 2011 or 2011-3 models of the listed architectures

Any wiggle room on the GPU side like maybe a GTX 980 Ti?

There is tons of room to move, the cards listed are the one excluded, you can use gt730 if you want and it runs time spy - seriously, you can use all cards you want except for the big expensive guns we excluded and cards that are not released yet

So, I need clarification: the rules say desktop parts only. But, the Clevo high end use desktop i7 quad core CPUs and notebook variants of the 1080 (1080N). Considering the CPU is a desktop and the scores are competitive (over 5GHz benches on 7700Ks), do they qualify for this competition?

"websmile says:

It seems somebody didn't read the rules

Yes, it is a standard i7, as long as it is no server hardware it is ok. You will have no advantage anyway because cooling at notebook will be worse than on normal rig

Not if you use a 10,000 BTU portable AC under it! ;-)

Hello,can i use giga z170 soc ln2 board for my submissions for this comp?

It is not current generation anymore after z270 is released, should be fine, I have no problems with it anymore now for challengers

I see some submissions made with ES 7700K, are these allowed?

Yes

For all divisions that use XTU, please attach a screenshot of your xtu result. I think the sentence must use official background should implement this, sure we follow the hwbot verification rules but when we ask for a background, it should be clear we want a screenshot. Thanks in advance

Does anyone have a model of how to make a screenshot that the system accepts? I already tried 4 ways and I could not.

Don´t use 4k and use paint or tool at normal resolution, file size limit is 2mb. Might also be a problem if your system picture is too big...

In this case usually jpg helps, I had this when submitting PNG screenshots to old school comp, when they were 3 MB in size, jpg cuts it down to 100k and does the job.

Can someone please link my xtu result to the comp? I just could not submit through oc-esports nor hwbot... $@39@`s XTU score: 2269 marks with a Core i7 7700K

It is mandatory for xtu when screenshot is asked to upload via EOCsports competition site, this is the only way you can add the screenshot that is asked for. Please delete the sub and submit at eoc
