Nice to see that the manufacturers put some interest on AMD platforms too. I guess this is kind of a "avalanche" effect. Hopefully Asus and MSI will arrange (sponsor) their own competitions now too after Gigabyte and ASRock have done theirs.

[Mindblowingj]

Nice competition, grats on manufacturers pushing their products and helping the enthusiast scene. p.s: why is it called richaland contest ? suppose I'd try to push a trinity 5800 is it just out of the league and cant compete with 6800?

[I.nfraR.ed]

Seems someone needs to fix the limitations

[Massman]

Fixed!

[ivanov]

Could you provide competition wallpaper in a bit higher resolution? 1047x616 is a bit awkward.

[alavadomanuel]

is needed wallpaper ? and if so where is a picture that does not abut

[racingken]

I am in the middle of my ASRock A10 build, I got really sick though, So it was on hold for a few days. This will be my first water cooling effort also.

Good luck to everyone!

aaronou to miss the day 21/09/2013 benchmarks and the competition starts on 23.09.2013 scores are not valid. "This is allowed?"

[alavadomanuel]

X-POWERX800PRO 3dmark 11 does not have the wallpaper and the date is 9/21/2013 bechmark before it started .Someone in the organization reviews the images of the event? .thank you very much

[I.nfraR.ed]

Don't worry, staff will remove the wrong submissions.

I think the problem comes from the feature which offers you to participate in the running competitions if your entry matches the rules.

They just agree on the prompt.

[Wizerty]

Massman : if we used seven, "Time measurement data not available. The validity of the result cannot be determined. (What is this?) " is not an issue right ?

[alavadomanuel]

wizerty not problem

[Mikecdm]

Massman : if we used seven, "Time measurement data not available. The validity of the result cannot be determined. (What is this?) " is not an issue right ?

 

Apparently if it the result says that, then it's not valid, or so i've been told.

Anyone know if there's a way to revive Asrock A85 Extreme6 after a bad bios flash?

Not talking about a programmer device, because I can't find one in the weekend.

Got the board yesterday and tried to flash the LN2 bios today. Loaded setup defaults, reset and entered instant flash. It's the first time I try to flash a new bios on this board.

The process stuck at ~30%. Waited 10-15 minutes and it didn't move, everything appeared frozen. Had no other choice but restart and it's now dead. I only managed to install Windows

 

PS: If it matters - I've used the black usb2.0 ports near the clrCMOS button.

Damn it man,in a bad day happened ...

[Billy-The-Kid]

The board have two bios... change for secound and reflash first!

[I.nfraR.ed]

Yes, I have a very bad luck with APUs. Guess I just have to sit back and watch.

 

Billy, where? I can only see one bios chip on the board.

 

PS: I have Extreme6, not 6+. Extreme6+ is not available in Bulgaria yet, so I had no other choice but get the older model.
