TaPaKaH Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The format is somewhat interesting, but it will most likely be won by someone with the best resources (even rule 1d allows to bin cards at home), not necessarily the best "talent".

der8auer Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I like the rules Pretty cool. Â Also the format will be very interesting to watch. Looking forward to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Binning cards is not allowed. The cards are provided by the organization. Â Also, FYI, the winner can choose the time slots for the competition first. So winning the online qualifier will give the benefit of choosing the time to compete.

TaPaKaH Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Binning cards is not allowed. The cards are provided by the organization.If provided card is dead, you can buy your own. Regardless of supervision, you can bin bucketloads of cards on your own and change SN sticker in the end. Things get even easier if you "know" the shop you buy it from.You think people won't at least consider this when $10k (plus cost of binning and computex trip) is on the line?

Massman Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 An important heads-up for the competitors! We will be extending the competition rules with the following:  1) The organization may request detailed memory kit identification to verify a retail G.SKILL memory kit was used 2) HWBOT and G.SKILL reserve the right to remove any score without prior notification  Practically this means: make sure you keep the heatsinks of your memory kit to show the part number in case there's a problem. I'm sure it won't be necessary, but well you never know. The rules are applied retro-actively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew pro Posted April 20, 2014 Crew Share Posted April 20, 2014 exciting competition  i like the fact gskill are doing something different, 10k prize money is very exciting for our hobby, imo having to fly yourself in to compete is fair enough, you want to win big you need to put it all on the line  the benchmark choices and restrictions will also restrict the impact binned CPUs will have in the live final, you will need to combine all the big overclocking skills to win this, modding, clocking, tweaking, binning and do it all under pressure. the multi day format also lends itself to the most consistent overclocker, so even if you have a nightmare day, you still have the chance.  good luck all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splave Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Comp is great for guys already going to computex I think the top 6 will probably already be going which is smart. Â The picture of the spreader rule is cute lol all it does is ensure that you have gskill laying around, not that you are using it but maybe it will detract some cheating. Â Can anyone clarify what will happen with the 750ti? we will get one if we pass to next round before the show or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiwa Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Gskill will ship 6 cards to top 6 after validation of online competition... 6 days remains we will have 6 ocers and 6 cards will be ship  666?
