HWBOT Country Cup 2017

The HWBOT Country Cup returns. As ever the 2017 contest features six separate stages that are designed to challenge the overclocking skills of the best overclockers from every country in the world.

The ninth annual edition of the HWBOT Country Cup contest follows a similar format to previous years. Each of the six stages requires a specific number of submissions, each from a different overclocker using a different CPU or graphics card. Team organization is crucial. The final stage however will be a straight up battle to see who has the edge in extreme multi-GPU overclocking. If you are handy with LN2 and know how to push hardware to the max, go support your fellow countrymen!

Hi Guys and moderators.

Mistake.

This result http://hwbot.org/submission/3728665 not considered by system for calculating of average score.

Why?

Too slow, the i7 Kabylake 7700K result is faster. 7740X and 7700K are both Kabylake i7
