Excuse me, but how is hwbot going to enforce the rule where everyone has to use Kingston memory?

As far as I know, they never made any retail HyperX using single-sided MFR or PSC, which are the top choices for stages #1 and #2.

But they made values with psc, hyperx with bbse and 2333 t1 that clock like good psc. And afaik, you will also find MFR on Kingstom memory like 2800c12 and 2133s and so on

- system picture

- memory picture (of sticker)

- spd memory tab

 

Also, engineers will check if the claimed result is within expectations.

Kingston engineers my ass, for reasons mentioned by websmile above.

 

- in a proper system, memory will be on LN2 so system picture won't tell anything

- memory picture doesn't actually say that Kingston memory was in use

- SPD can be reflashed

 

Cheating memory brand is very simple, do you really think noone will do it with $10k on the line?

Yeah I get it, but this limitation could be on final stage on CES, not for qualifiing. But I'm respecting all rules and dismiss this competition. Anyway, good luck guys!

We should be glad that there is another live event ;)

 

In my opinion it's 100% fair when companies sponsor OC contest, they have full right to give restrictions to their products to , of course when there are no restrictions - it's more interesting, but be honest, for 2D you don't need 1500W PSU, 600-700W Coolermaster should be more than okay ;) and cost of it is very low comparing to other parts and you don't need to bin PSU ;) In this contest you shouldn't worry about PSU but about CPU/MEMORY ;)
