Administrators websmile Posted March 12, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) The board is allowed, apart from the LN2 1151 boards and the soc gaming z270 all boards should be eligible for use P.S. I asked at GA again to see if I am right, if it is much better than z270n wifi we might have problem, it is not listed in europe P. P.S. Board is ok, it seems to have no technical advantage above others Edited March 13, 2017 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GtiJason Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) I found a few price compare sites a while back. This one shows prices from Feb 27 from 9 shops https://www.priceme.co.nz/Gigabyte-Z270N-Gaming-5/p-898785404.aspx This site claims 02/22/2017 release date https://dgxtech.com/sales/gigabyte-ga-z270n-gaming-5-lga1151-intel-z270-rgb-fusion-hdmi-dp-usb3-1-type-c-mini-itx-ddr4-gaming-motherboard Edited March 13, 2017 by GtiJason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 16, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2017 A couple of hints, LOD is not allowed for time spy, it is explicitly ruled out and this is also valid for time spy physics, second point is that 5003 is the limit, if the futuremark link shows higher results you are out, and please only use publicly available BIOS versions, we do not want guys to have an unfair advantage by new xoc BIOS others cannot use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulstation Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 A couple of hints ... and please only use publicly available BIOS versions, we do not want guys to have an unfair advantage by new xoc BIOS others cannot use So the x06 bios on a z97x-soc force is not alowed,than i know what to do tomorow after work.

Administrators websmile Posted March 16, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 16, 2017 This is an old BIOS which was published several times on hwbot and elsewhere, I only refer to new Z270 Bioses which might be given to Beta testers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeropluszero Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 https://www.mediafire.com/?wsldl1r1wlh2ris X8e bios for Z270N Gaming 5. I make absolutely no claims that its any good, I haven't had a chance to properly test it myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 17, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2017 Thanks for the BIOS, but we will not allow it for the march madness because it came too late. We will re evaluate this like all restrictions for the next parts of the Gigabyte series, yes, there is more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted March 17, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Another heads up - for time spy physics the rules of time spy apply for LOD (not allowed) and latest system info with monitoring enabled is mandatory - we orientate on screenshot and validation link for seeing if the 5003 cap was not violated, when I see 4ghz as max turbo or something similarily ridiculous I have no choice but to remove the entry Edited March 17, 2017 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildzoid Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Unfortunately yes, CPUZ and futuremark readout have to be 5003 or less Great so I can go back to rerunning timespy for a while but at 0.02 less BCLK or what ever it is that will make 3Dmark happy.

Administrators websmile Posted March 19, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) I checked stage 1, remaining subs should be ok @fgi please check the time spy rules again, you used tesselation tweaking which is explicitly disallowed for time spy - sorry, but it is written in the benchmark rules and I also gave a heads up here at support thread that rules are applying also for physics on top Edited March 19, 2017 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 20, 2017 Crew Share Posted March 20, 2017 Look at the GPU-Z... yep GPU-Z my run was utter luck was always between 6780ish and 6815ish then this 6865 appeared... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demac Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) I had 6850+ and 1-2 was 6900+. 5g/5g 1933 tight(at least for my mobo). But according to the 6950+ scores, the less you clock the better you score. I dont judge anyone but it would be better if we know what we were doing wrong.

Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 20, 2017 Crew Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) GPU mem clocks aid the score apparently, lowering cache too... thx to Splave for revealing their tweaks Edited March 20, 2017 by Leeghoofd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
