MetalRacer Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) 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? Intel Edited January 29, 2017 by MetalRacer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmboy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmboy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 oops, my bad... HEDT is excluded. (daaum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted January 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 30, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmboy Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Lol, unless you have a 6950x and are not a pro. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Alberino Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Great, i7-6950X vs i7-6700K in same category wasn't logic, like it lot more now Great decision! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpmboy Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 yeah, last year it was basically an Open comp... now really have to spend $$ on pots and LN2 to compete. oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalRacer Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 So 4 core i7's only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted January 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yes, no 2011 or 2011-3 models of the listed architectures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalRacer Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Any wiggle room on the GPU side like maybe a GTX 980 Ti? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted January 31, 2017 Administrators Share Posted January 31, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajc9988 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
73Kacsa Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 "websmile says: Yes, no 2011 or 2011-3 models of the listed architectures" It seems somebody didn't read the rules KEDARWOLF - CORE I7 5960X @ 4740MHZ - 2494 MARKS XTU PROCESSOR:INTEL CORE I7 5960X @ 4740MHZ (+58.00%) VIDEOCARD:GEFORCE GTX TITAN X @ 1002MHZ (STOCK) / 1753MHZ (STOCK) MOTHERBOARD:ASUS SABERTOOTH X99 I7-5960x: https://ark.intel.com/products/82930/Intel-Core-i7-5960X-Processor-Extreme-Edition-20M-Cache-up-to-3_50-GHz Sockets Supported FCLGA2011-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators websmile Posted February 7, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 7, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awefgaw Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Does anyone have a model of how to make a screenshot that the system accepts? I already tried 4 ways and I could not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted February 24, 2017 Administrators Share Posted February 24, 2017 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobosq Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 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.

$@39@ Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 5, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 5, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
