Rookie Rumble #25

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 GPUPI for CPU - 100M. 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.

Glad to be here! Rookie in OC sports, I like it. Oldskool Air only for me ;) Just wonder why HWBOT gives me such a low rating?

Everybody make sure that the screenshots are valid (CPU-Z CPU & mem tab required for stage 1 & 2) and all the scores are compliant with the rules laid down. ( http://hwbot.org/benchmarks/processor )

 

Take note for HWBOT prime: No win 8 or later OS unless you are using an Intel Skylake CPU !!!
