Usually for hwbot competitions only use retail hardware and ES not allowed, so blame massman if it's not in the competition limitations :P

I see word "retail" in bold as part of individual stage limitations

My mistake, I didn't read stage limitations :D

btw I see no official background

 

Cause massman still has to add the stage for most creative background.

 

Then i can win something :D

How to overclock Gigabyte motherboard ?

 

Once I am under cold the motherboad won't boot, only after CLR_CMOS

der8auer
der8auer

What temperature?

 

The key is often to raise the BCLK over 104 to get it booting under cold.

Christian Ney

Yeah I know but either motherboard is weird or cpu is or I am, so many issues. Fuck overclocking getting too complicated, will be back to Pentium days.

Uff... was my first experience with Ivy. I get coldboot after system hang on some hard-stressing benchmark with 1,7V+. Maybe weak PSU? Who knows.... But it was fun anyway. Nextime I must pick better 3770K.

you need to try higher bclock > push past 110

Did you use a <300W PSU ?

dinos22: Hmm, most of the time I used 105-108 BCLK. Thanks for tip!

 

Massman: I have single rail 850W Corsair but only with about 70A

Christian this is bullshit, I watched this competition down to the last 5 minutes your submissions were not in.

I had backups I could have dropped for wprimes to keep me in third.

Your a moderator and if your engine is faulty that is not my problem. Once the competition was over your submissions were not in competition engine.

Please fix this crap.

Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester

Competition closed at 2200 on the 29/6/2012 your submissions were not posted until the 30th,

And your post about getting a new CPU to mess up the rankings was after the competition was closed

Christian Ney
Christian Ney

Yes I did submite them on the 30th as the competition ended on the 30th and I benched this day too:

I don't see what's the problem.

 

 

Furthermore even if I am a moderator, only admins have the rights to edit/moderate/submite/whatever submissions after a competition ended. Moderators can't compete against hwbot's competition engine.

Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester

Bullshit christian , ask der8aur it closed exactly as i put my post up. me and der8aur were watching it tick down to 0 then it said closed.

Christian Ney
Christian Ney

Did watch the tick down and it ended the 30th at midnight 0:00 here

Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester

So only for you timer clicked down 1 day late, me and der8aur seen it was closed since 29th ???? WTF.

 

 

wtf christian? I'm still first and the competition has been closed since yesterday? :D
at 2353 30/6/12

If it was still open for us i would have submitted backups, your scores were not even viewable until 1/7/12 , something is not right here.

Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester

Even in your own screenshots right there it states " you can submit benchmark results BEFORE 30th" before mean prior to the 30th , you submitted on the 30th.

Christian Ney
Christian Ney

Check all other competitions, the end date written is the last day for submissions so you can still submite this day as it has always been.

 

I guess something went wrong with the tick down, I didnt check the comp page on the 29 or even before to be honest. I saw it was ending the 30 so I took my saturday to bench.

 

Will check that with massman maybe the top page tick down started one day earlier than the tick down at midpage.

Uncle Fester
Uncle Fester

Please do, as me and der8aur seen it was closed to us.

I submitted with 5 mins to go , sandbagging as usual.
