Posted March 15, 20187 yr Get ready !!! Quote ROUND 2 - Socket 370 (1998) (Mendocino cores only) (Non Intel chipset motherboards) (No server hardware allowed-only desktop products) Stage-1 CPU-Z Validation - Max CPU speed Stage-2 SuperPI 1M Stage-3 Wprime 32M Wallpapers ? 9 hours ago, alexmaj467 said: for round 2 1280x1024 1920x1200 Edited March 15, 20187 yr by TASOS
March 15, 20187 yr I propose to make a list of unauthorized motherboards here. I think that those two processors are server / industrial board.

Please follow the general rule guideline , which is (Mendocino cores only) (Non Intel chipset motherboards) (No server hardware allowed-only desktop products) <= General rule for all hwbot competitions , and also specifically for osibs to avoid ServerWorks chipset boards What's left ? Plenty of boards with VIA Apollo Pro133A I hope i helped you.

March 16, 20187 yr Dual cpu board is the server board....ok Via Apollo Pro266 is not server chipset and single cpu boards must be allowed for me. I proposed to make a list of motherboards or chipsets in particular to avoid problems in the future.
March 16, 20187 yr Crew Im not sure Ive got it right, since its the first time I set up a contest but let me know if something need to change. Edit: You just want s370? Edited March 16, 20187 yr by Strunkenbold

Meaning , lets stick to SDRAM only. 19 minutes ago, Strunkenbold said: Im not sure Ive got it right, since its the first time I set up a contest but let me know if something need to change. Edit: You just want s370? Gregor Please adjust the competition page , with the available chipset options for VIA , SIS and Ali

March 17, 20187 yr not all dual-processor boards with VIA chip are server (ECS D6VAA, Abit VP6) and Celeron not a server processor. If someone can start system with dual Mendocino I do not see any problems.

If someone can start system with dual Mendocino I do not see any problems. If you are lucky to have a dual cpu board (like Abit VP6) which can SMP Mendocino ... you can use it.
March 17, 20187 yr Hmm, so far everything with more than one socket and anything caled Xeon / Opteron / Quadro / Firepro was considered "server". This doesn't apply here?
March 17, 20187 yr As far as i can remember we had a dual S462 stage last year, so there allways was some server(ish) hardware involved If dualboards are allowed thet would mean that anyone who want's to have a chance in the wprime stage needs one... If that is the case we have to agree on using them as soon as possible, otherwise there will be complaints from people who spent money on such a board and are not allowed to use it...

This doesn't apply here? I agree with you , on the second part of your phrase. On the first part , no. Because since the Abit BP6 era , the pc industry created a special product category for home users. Dual socket boards where not server-workstation only (not anymore). Boards like BP6 , VP6 , A7M266-D .... up to later models such as EVGA SR-2 , were not server products. They were dual cpu boards for home users. Edited March 17, 20187 yr by TASOS
March 17, 20187 yr Should have left it single processor only as the comp has already started. I'm rather irritated now. 2 rounds in and problems with both of them. Please bullet proof the rest of the rounds right now before this happens again. Edited March 17, 20187 yr by Mr.Scott
March 17, 20187 yr 6 minutes ago, Mr.Scott said: Shit. You just changed the entire game plan. Im agree with you. Single cpu board for this stage.

Yes you are correct. http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/osibs_s3r4/3380/cinebench_2003 All teams started with single cpu , until OnisA from XtremeOverdrive OC team Italy , posted a score with dual cpu's After that , the teams adjusted their entries. 17 minutes ago, Mr.Scott said: Should have left it single processor only as the comp has already started.

There was no mention about cpu count , from the start. 15 minutes ago, GRIFF said: Im agree with you. Single cpu board for this stage. You could have written your opinion in the preparation thread earlier. Why now ?
