Do Benchmate results require submission under that category?

[ChintzyPC]

I've done all my LN2 scores for my CPU with Benchmate (which I can't go back and try them again vanilla as both the mobo and CPU are dead from a popped mosfet).

Under the submissions there's Benchmate scores and non-Benchmate scores.

Am I required to submit all my scores under the Benchmate submissions or can I just go ahead any submit them under the regular non-benchmate scores as well?

Reason being I've been able to get #1 spots in both categories. And under Benchmate only scores there's only like 1 or 2 other submissions but non-Benchmate scores have like 30 submissions. So really there'd be more bragging rights if I could just submit them under the non-Benchmate #1 spots instead.

Also, I do have all the required CPU-Z windows and such in the screenshots required for non-benchmate scores as well, it's not just the benchmate window alone.

The BenchMate categories only exist for automatic uploading from within BenchMate. It's a technical issue, because some of the old categories (Super PI, wPrime, ...) do not support the HWBOT submission API.

So yes, you can just take the screenshot and upload it to other (matching) categories.

See BenchMate as additional proof for a valid score.
