Hi, since the competition is now starting, can we have the wallpaper?

Thanks

Wild and crazy thought, but maybe the target score as well?

[websmile]

Nooo - the score will be revealed as soon as the wallpaper goes online

I seriously think 1520 doesn't exist in the XTU library and this is a big April Fools joke

[websmile]

Will submit 1520 3.2.1 now

What a surpise

[oscarcordovilla]

A not Aorus old X99 UD4 motherboard is allowed?

[websmile]

Edit Seems HEDT which means 2011-3 for example is ruled out in general at announcement already, so no go for x99

No restrictions on which Gigabyte or Aorus board is used, only es, unreleased hardware and LN2 prototypes are forbidden

 

Got similar question,

 

I saw "Open to all GIGABYTE motherboards, except for Intel HEDT (High-End Desktop Platform) CPUs" on the OC-eSports annoucement page: OC eSports

 

But on the stage limitation, there was no rule stating X99/HEDT is allowed or not. So what's the official ruling for this? Will X99/X79 be allowed or not?

 

Cheers,

 

(IMHO, I don't mind using any xtu-capable platform, since it's target score after all)

[Jumper118]

5 stages of xtu? this is april fools?

[websmile]

Hmm, when Gigabyte wants no HEDT we have to respect this, I am not sure why it was not added to the rules like on March madness, I thought it was not ruled out. Then I have to ovrrule my lasz post, hedt is not allowed

[Leeghoofd]

Target XTU should be attractive, especially if all scores can be done on air/water... if only the score is achievable

[Splave]

1520 not possible must be the April fools

so the first thing is to submit earlier then others. then I get the chance to bench tomorrow and even if I do similar scores as top 3 I will still get lower points ? whats the logic in this ? or I not understand the rules ?

If I understand it right, the scores is based on the delta(difference) between the 'XTU target' and your score, the smaller the difference the higher position you get.

Of course, there will be same scores from all other overclocker, so you have to submit first or you lose ranking (since if there's same score, the one getting most points is the one who submit it earlier).

 

So in principle, you wanted to score really close with target and submit it really fast when the stage is opened.

That's a bit poop. Board isn't supposed to arrive until tomorrow

[Leeghoofd]

There's still the Lucky draw if you submit a score in all stages... Same position here. This compo is all about submiting the closest score or nailing it FIRST... damn you Alva

[websmile]

Get 1520, Noob, and you take the lead

[KaRtA]

sounds harder than 743

[Guest Bullant]

I tried for one hour then give up lol,seen plenty 1519 and 1521 but no 1520,I notice running 4 core and no ht it was very consistent for me,it ran 1521 x5 in a row

[tknight]

I would just like to know if 1520 is actually possible?

 

Because if it is not, then is it fair that it is being used as a target score, if nobody can then achieve it?

 

As that would mean that no one has a chance to get the top points for the stage, other than the person who already has the next closest score, due to the target score being unattainable.
