I went out of my way to buy a CPU for this tournament.
I can't believe the time period is only a month, the organizers care so much about the beginners... ♪
Just wade through the forum and the competition thread more.
As you can see in the screenshot below I created the Pentium Competition threads at the 9th of May, so people could get ready. End of May the stages were defined and background got available
I don't mean to criticize.
XTU 2.0 installation is difficult for people like me and beginners
I think this is the reason why there are so few participants.
I like OC and I want to make HWBOT more exciting, so I bought a CPU and I'm participating...
I have not been able to figure out how to install it!
In the meantime, I used a different CPU and submitted the results in Windows 11, but it seems to be buggy!

it was announced nearly 2 weeks ago on Facebook, was also visible at the HWBOT competition pages and already discussed on Discord...
My last resort is to maybe call you?
We also have other competitions running, a big one with Intel is near too, hence why this one was pushed forwards.
Team Cup next, Challenger Rounds, Pro OC...
we want to avoid overlapping compeititions as much as possible... too many at the same time is also not good.
I hate Discord because it cannot be translated into Japanese! Japan is an isolated island.

Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
Why can't I install XTU? Windows 10.
I've tried older versions, but during the installation process, it stops with a critical problem.
I reinstalled the Windows 10 OS and the symptoms are the same I get a fatal error during installation. Please help me.

I tried, but I don't get it!
