Could be a simple communication issue here because I was also in the full loop and indeed we did not get the information that you are supposed to be a participant. We will check with Corsair.

Also for your notice we don't do "24/7 customer support" on Facebook. I don't know what you are expecting. 

Sorry bro just frustrating is all

Your attitude on Facebook is a lot different than your attitude on the HWbot forums. I think you should pick one and stick to it.

how about you mind your own business chump

You figure out one month after the start of the competition thread that you're not in it? Just seems like you're trying to stir up controversy.

Stage 2 is open, no surprises there on benchmark selection ?

Just want to confirm it's win10 only for this stage too? Win10 is pretty random in my experience for 32m. Scores differs lots between runs. Win7 is much more consistent.

not sure the latest benchmate works on 7 Tobias, plus if w eopt for 10 its the same for everyone, you will just have to work harder

Ok, win 10 it is.

Now I understand why you said that (never used win10 for SPI in my life). Scores on same settings are all over the place.....

According to Alby......yes ?

Lets hope that stage 3 is maximum memory clock - DIMM Slot A on my Apex seems to be dead (54/55), so no more 32m for me

And I still have ln2 dammit ?

Looks like that board came back from the dead ? Or maybe there was a a wallet-flip involved...

Magic spray really is magic ?

And it seems a dance off could really be on the cards @Leeghoofd ?

You must win this stage to avoid that ?

What's meant by this line in the rules for stage 3:

- A checked CPUZ 2.01 verification link is required registered on your name

Is it just a frequency validation showing CPU and memory clocks of the run? I guess it's just to prove Win 10 because Aida and hwinfo don't show that.

Edited April 20, 20223 yr by unityofsaints

It means no xoc mode can be used, the validation must have the Checked mark on cpuz site

 

Rules for Stage 3:

Stage 3: AIDA64 OPEN

• Use version AIDA64 Extreme Beta from the compo package with key: 13J74-8YWD6-BX3BY-8D5S1-FP5XR
• Dual Channel Submissions only.
• Run Full AIDA test, not individual Memory Benchmark.
• Screenshot with CORSAIR desktop wallpaper as background; AIDA64 score, CPU-Z 2.01 or newer tabs for Processor, Memory and SPD.
• CPUZ 2.01 or newer Validation link is required, registered on your HWBOT username.
• Include pictures of your overclocked setup
• Prepare Videoproof just in case of!

 

General warning: If someone ups a bugged score, he will get ONE opportunity to remove it. If not his account will be a goner... play it fair and square....

Just need confirmation - we need a Full Memory and Cache Scores for the stage 3?

*I thought 'Full Memory Bandwidth' as in 'All Memory Scores' only, sorry about that.

Full run, thus all tests.

and 100 Bclockish scores only, make the mem count!

K AIDA is out, Y-cruncher with BM is in... New stage is configured, sorry for any inconvenience.

Congrats to the winners, a lot of work went into this one! Was a fun competition.
