mtech Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Hi, I want to ask: is it allowed or not to use 3930K ES CPU in Xtreme OC League now or only latest ES CPUs are not allowed (3970X/3770K)? Quote
TaPaKaH Posted December 10, 2012 Posted December 10, 2012 Latest= Platform is still sold.s775 is still sold I think the official ruling is that "current gen" (i.e. current top platform) ES are not allowed in the OC League .. so 3930K ES shouldn't be. Quote
Crew Sweet Posted December 10, 2012 Crew Posted December 10, 2012 Yep, thats right, ES only in Pro league Quote
mtech Posted December 10, 2012 Author Posted December 10, 2012 Ok, so 3930K ES is not allowed now. Thanks Quote
Doug2507 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Thread resurrection.... 4770k ES, after reading the above i gather with 4770k being current 4 core, ES isn't allowed in OC? If that's correct (?) would it change if there were to be a Haswell refresh? Quote

If that's correct (?) would it change if there were to be a Haswell refresh? 4770K not allowed now no and I would hazard a guess that it won't be allowed during the refresh either due to the fact that Haswell would still be the latest architecture Quote
Mikecdm Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Aren't they the ones supposed to be called Devil's Canyon and will only be supported on new chipset Z97 boards? Sounds like a new generation of hardware to me. I suppose the argument can go either way, we'll just have to wait until there is an official decision. Quote
Splave Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) need more cut and dry rules, too vague now. I would think of 3000 series CPU ES as last generation for sure because it is last generation, 4000 series this generation no? Edited April 8, 2014 by Splave Quote
der8auer Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) Haswell-Refresh is just a bunch of new models which are still based on the same Generation. Those are exactly the same chips just with higher clocks so 4770K ES will still not be allowed (I guess). Next steps are Broadwell and Haswell-E PJ should clarify this tho.
