miker2ka Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 My Geeckbench 4 submission was blocked and i don't understand why. Here is the message i receive : Hello, An HWBOT moderator, "leeghoofd", has blocked one of your submitted scores. It has marked one of your submissions as 'incorrect submission'. This was the reason the user gave: No Windows 8 or later allo wed for this benchmark and your CPU. Plz verify the rules on the frontpage (Benchmarks tab) You can view your result here: http://hwbot.org/submission/3436669_miker2ka_geekbench4___single_core_core_i5_3570k_5140_points If you have questions, drop a message at the forums. Yours sincerely, the hwbot.org team Checking the rules i didn't find anything about geekench 4 and on the e.g. from rules sections is a win 10 & 3770k submission. Any thought?

Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 30, 2017 Crew Share Posted January 30, 2017 The rules state: (HWBOT Geekbench 4 - Single-Core Benchmark Validation Regulations) Allowed Windows versions : All Windows based released before Windows 8. Only Sky Lake and Kaby Lake cpus have no issue with the RTC bug that older CPU generations can have when using Win8 or newer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nooby Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hi there, I'm completely new to overclocking and received a similar submission block for the Rookie Rumble. Does only using Windows 8 or earlier mean I have to wipe my PC and put Win 8 on it, run Geekbench, wipe my PC and put Win 10 back on it? Seems like a lot of work for one score? Cheers!

PACE Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 To clarify a little... You can use Win 7 or before. Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 are blocked apart from Kaby Lake, Skylake certain benchmarks as seen in this list here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nooby Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Cheers for the response, but it didn't answer the question. I only have one pc and it would be a pain for me to wipe it just for one score. I would expect to do that if I was in a pro group or something (I'd prolly have a standalone just for overclocking). Like I said, I'm extremely new and liking the challenge, but just not liking it enough to change OS for just one score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingo Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 You could try to set up a Dual-Boot system with your Windows 10 installation and a clean Windows 7 with nothing more than drivers and OC-Tools. Maybe there is some free space (60GB should be enough) on your disk, so that you could shrink an existing partition and install Windows 7 in a new partition, or you could get a small SSD (~120gb) to install Windows 7 on.
