Must use commercially available components (ES not allowed) Contestants must bring their own hardware, including (but not limited to) processor, cooling gear and motherboard. Participants must use the Seasonic Prime PX PSU and NVME Competition OS ready drive provided by G.SKILL. All participants receive 4 sticks of 24GB G.SKILL DDR5. Participants must use these kits. Contestants may not use any storage equipment (USB, DVD, SSD) not provided by the organization During the preparation phase, LN2 may be used. Contestants are free to try any benchmark applications, but submitting results can only be done during the specific competition phase. Contestants must directly update their results after benching. After the judge verifies the result, the scoreboard is directly updated. The final approval of the results is done after the conclusion of every competition phase. The Judge has the right to ask contestants to re-run benchmarks to verify results. Note: if the benchmark was started before the end of the competition phase, the end result is still eligible for submission. When on stage, during the preparation and competition time, the contestants must be by themselves and may not accept any external help. Any outside physical help or someone joining the stage will result in automatic disqualification After the competition phase finishes the benchmark results can no longer be updated and the best update of the result will be the final score. Decisions by the Judges are final and shall not be discussed. Participants are required to show up on time and prepared for on-stage presence. GSKILL and HWBOT reserve the right to refuse any participant access to the competition stage. We expect fair play from everyone for those competitions. HWBOT and GSKILL reserve the right to remove results and/or participants who compete unfairly. The decision is final and will not be discussed afterwards. Examples of behaviours that aren’t acceptable: Influence others submissions to profit your ranking, Deliberately forget / make a mistake in the submissions process and ask later for change Quote

safedisk Posted April 9 Posted April 9 (edited) ROG MAXIMUS Z890 APEX Special bios 9904/9905 (From Shamino) *Enable Runtime BCLK Button before Memory Training instead of after. These Apex BIOSes specifically targetted towards benchers. 9904 contains the exact same ME as 1603 bios 9905 contains the ME version same as 1603 bios with special mod for certain benchmarks. ME going from same version to same version doesnt update so ME update tool for benchmarks is included, can always run tool after BIOS update to be sure. New in BIOS: 1) RSVD2 during LN2 mode when enabled removes the minimum lower cap for certain voltages dynamically. Make sure you set all voltages possible in BIOS first save exit and enable it to go lower than the LN2 floor. Going Off again restores the minimum floor. So example once every volt is set as you want you can flip rsvd2 on, reboot/retry, and if meet crash or need to go safe mode flip rsvd2 off and retry button. 2) Sneak Preview of DIMM FIT Pro...
