Administrators websmile Posted March 1, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2017 First statement before the competition starts, the new Gigabyte Z270X Gaming SOC will not be allowed for the march madness. Unfortuantely it is not available at shops at the competitions start (in europe not listed). In case something changes we will make an announcement, this thread is also open for questions but we already included the non released hardware not allowed rule from the first day of announcing the contest. Good luck and have fun at the contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splave Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 is z170 allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 1, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2017 Yes, Z170 is allowed, I see no restriction on this - but no unreleased hardware (LN2 boards or sadly the z270 gaming soc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aerotracks Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Z97 LN2 board allowed or not? Using Haswell is competitive disadvantage no matter the board's DIMM layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 1, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2017 As far as I know the board was alibi retail at some time so it should be OK for the lucky draw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeropluszero Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Yes, Z170 is allowed, I see no restriction on this - but no unreleased hardware (LN2 boards or sadly the z270 gaming soc) so...its Z270 or the Z170 SOC Force ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 1, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2017 Yes Matt, we all would have liked to get Z270 Gaming SOC in the march madness as well, but shop availability is delayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Island Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thats a shame, all I have is a z270 gaming soc, was excited to enter, definitely dissapointed but I understand from hwbot point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 1, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 1, 2017 This decision was made in dialogue with Gigabyte, we both agreed that it is a shame but to give all contestants the same chance we had no other choice.

arffrhn Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Is Aorus Z270X Gaming 5 not allowed? I bought at my local store on February 9. I cannot upload submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhenomenonOne Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hi, I'm new, so please forgive my idiocy. How can I delete a submission? I posted score for the wrong test! (",) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 10, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 10, 2017 Normally at hwbot,org there is a button on the right to edit or delete results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arffrhn Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 How can I delete my submission too? Seems like XTU read my mobo wrong. Just noticed it after submitting. Supposed to be Z270X Gaming 5 instead of Z170X Gaming 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 11, 2017 Crew Share Posted March 11, 2017 How can I delete my submission too? Seems like XTU read my mobo wrong. Just noticed it after submitting. Supposed to be Z270X Gaming 5 instead of Z170X Gaming 5. Can't you edit the mobo type after submitting the score? So submit first, let the database calculate your score/ranking. Afterwards press the EDIT button on the right (as Websmile mentioned before) and edit your mobo type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtiJason Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Looking to confirm if GIGABYTE GA-Z270N-Gaming 5 is allowed. I think it was released March 1st or so in US but earlier overseas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
