Rookie Rumble #11

Welcome to the Rookie Rumble! We assume you arrived here via XTU and that’s great but the OC world offers much more. The Rumble introduces you to the concept of competitive overclocking. It’s a contest only for new overclockers like you. Good luck!

There are three stages, each with the same hardware restrictions but featuring a different benchmark. The benchmarks are: XTU, HWBOT Prime, and MaxxMem Read Bandwidth. You can gather points by submitting in each of the three stages. The better the result, the more points you acquire and the higher you'll rank overall! Note that the validation process for the benchmarks is slightly different. Check out the rules section to learn more or drop us a message on our forums if you have a question.

Am I doing something wrong with my MaxMem submissions?

I'm posting the HWBot "score" that I get - but should I be submitting the "Memory Read" instead? Or is my Ram really that bad???

Hi Spork,

 

You should indeed be submitting the Memory Read score instead :)

Thanks! Will resubmit!

quickly like to apologize accidentally submitted a completely bs score to max mem. i am going to get it removed but in the mean time please disregard me.

Now worries 4Core. Everyone can make a mistake!

 

I see it has been resolved; all good :).

Man i just keep making mistakes... i overclocked my 4790k to 5.15ghz for hwbot. (i haven't submitted yet) but i screwed up the validation i am missing two cpu-z tabs (i thing it was spd and mainboard) i can do it again but it would be pretty inconvenient will you accept the validation as is. if you can pm me your email i can send it to you. Thanks 4Core
