MANn Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Hi, The foot note on almost every submission page next to a check box says:- "If you check this, this submission will not submission will not receive cups, medals or points. It will appear in no ranking except for the in no ranking except for the HWBOT WORLD RECORDS page. You RECORDS page. You can use this if you use hardware which is not available through retail channels (eg. cherry picked samples, ES hardware under NDA hardware under NDA etc)" I am interested in knowing are we allowed to use ES hardware to submit scores that yeald points? I especially ask because I went through the rules and they don't say any thing specific about it. I see people getting point & if its not right should we report such entries?

Massman Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 As from Rev4, ES will only be allowed in the Pro League. But, this rule is not applied retro-actively, so only applies to new architectures. So, don't buy a Sandy Bridge-E ES ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANn Posted September 1, 2011 Author Share Posted September 1, 2011 Thanks for the info is Sandy Bridge the only exception? Is there a specific date from which this was implemented? Cos saying new architecture is relative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
