Dekaohtoura Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Only Intel's allowed? Sorry, it automatically directed me here... Quote
BennyDragonheart Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Not allowed to use Windows 8 in the second and third stage, well, I guess I won't be participating then. Quote

Luebke Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 @BennyDragonheart: it´s because win8 makes wrong results. for hwbot u allways need win7 or older until ms fix that problem with win8. Quote
BusskapareN Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 I was hoping to have my CPU custom loop ready before these 3 stages but during leak test i found a leak and my mobo, ram, cpu got covered in water so now everything is under drying, i hope that everything starts in 18 days so i can clock higher!

Why does Windows 8 make "wrong results"? Well unfortunately, I have no intention of downgrading my OS for this rubbish. ;D Quote

Waza88 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Is my HWBOT Prime score invalid if I ran it with FX8350 with 7 cores disabled? Doesn't give points for my run Since scoring is per core there is no reason to run with all 8. Quote
Massman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 The way the implementation works is it divides your HWBOT Prime score by the amount of cores of your system. For the core count, the same rules apply like before. That means "disabling cores" is not allowed and the engine will always divide the score by either the stock core count, or higher if you for example unlock cores. Quote

Then why AMD doesn't have it's own rankings? All tests are favoring Intel CPU's There is no way AMD Overclockers can place anywhere near Intel users. Quote
Massman Posted March 19, 2014 Author Posted March 19, 2014 I guess we could make a separate AMD Rookie Rumble, if that would interest people? Quote

zmn668 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Hi. Do HWbot prime runs in the competition still require CPU-Z CPU and Mem windows in the validation screenshots? Looks like the current high score for that stage does not include them. Thanks Quote

Massman Posted March 20, 2014 Author Posted March 20, 2014 Would be a good idea as most non-oc folks run AMD rigs. At best, 15% Quote
zmn668 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Yes, it does require both CPU-Z windows. Thanks. Now the 1st and 2nd place scores do not include them Quote
Massman Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 Blocked the results and contacted the overclockers. Be gentle with 'm, they are HWBOT Rookies after all Quote
morper Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 Can I submit as many results as I like for each benchmark or can I only submit once for each benchmark? Thanks, morper Quote
Massman Posted March 21, 2014 Author Posted March 21, 2014 You can submit as much as you want. Our engine will automatically pick your best result Quote
morper Posted March 21, 2014 Posted March 21, 2014 You can submit as much as you want. Our engine will automatically pick your best result Sounds good, thanks for the info Quote

zmn668 Posted March 24, 2014 Posted March 24, 2014 Just wanted to give a bit of feedback about the competition. I have now competed in all 3 cups and let me say it is a great concept with 1 exception. The use of XTU should be reconsidered. The problem being that unless you have a 4770K cpu you cannot win the cup. Currently I am leading in 2 of the 3 stages yet my XTU score will prevent me from winning the overall. I have a delidded 3770K under custom water and the score I submitted for XTU is 43rd overall among 3770K CPU's yet 4770K with only a slight overclock will score higher. It is in Intel's best business interest to tailor the benchmark so it will score highest on their latest CPU's. It seems skewed however as we all know the difference in true speed between a 3770K and 4770K is not as high as the XTU scores would indicate. Anyway, just my 2 cents and I'm sure this is nothing that you haven't heard before. THanks Quote
scracy Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 But you could also say that 3770K has an advantage over 4770K in the other two stages as they generally clock higher than 4770K! Quote
