Individual sub competition and stage pages coming with specific rules? I know there are going to be lots of questions, as usual...

June 4, 2014 at 1:53:51 AM UTC

The stage pages can be found in the roadmap section.

 

I'll add them to the front page when Computex week is over :)

Is there a possible way to pull my teams top score for each bench in the team cup? An easy way to keep our forum thread updated with current results and which categories have no result?

Thanks.

June 13, 2014 at 12:46:39 PM UTC

good idea :)

June 17, 2014 at 8:42:13 PM UTC

Is it allowed to add old scores to the cup or only new ones?

June 17, 2014 at 10:42:38 PM UTC

Only new my friend, and don't forget the comp wallpaper. ;)

June 18, 2014 at 2:02:03 AM UTC

Ah, I'll add a note to the stages with validation scores that validation time must be within the competition timeframe :)

June 21, 2014 at 8:10:44 PM UTC

Correct me if I'm wrong but the WRs in the % OC parts are calculated diffrently from the competition entrys. 307% should be 207% or add 100 on the competition entrys.

Fixed it now :)

July 14, 2014 at 12:35:24 AM UTC

Removed all from the contest

July 14, 2014 at 1:31:49 AM UTC

Fixed.

 

Quick question guys: since there are SO MANY overclocking competitions going on right now, would it make sense to prolong the Team Cup competition for another 14 days or even a month until the end of September?

July 14, 2014 at 5:47:37 AM UTC

I personally would like that since I'm away on vacation now and won't be back until august 24 :)

July 14, 2014 at 6:13:54 AM UTC

This would definitely help guys who want to compete for MOA.

July 14, 2014 at 7:25:46 AM UTC

i vote for end of september

July 14, 2014 at 7:26:01 AM UTC

First , fix the labels over the prizes , in the competition page. :D

 

Then do a poll with the top 10 teams (at the moment) of the competition , to decide about the length of the Team Cup.

 

We will expand by 1 week the elimination stage and then we will have 1 week in september for the finals ?

Extending it until the end of September doesn't sound bad to me.

July 14, 2014 at 3:42:39 PM UTC

Would be awesome :)

July 14, 2014 at 9:51:58 PM UTC

Ending it today would be ok with us. :D

July 15, 2014 at 12:38:55 AM UTC

:D

July 15, 2014 at 10:04:19 AM UTC

end of september would be ok to me, too. :)

 

Ending it today would be ok with us.

what a surprise :D

July 20, 2014 at 1:46:44 PM UTC

@Massman

For not having misunderstandings later...

I think all teams would like to know the end of competition.

So response to a proposal the end of team cup is 15 of September or end of September?

This ^^

 

If it's going to get extended then I'd rather know sooner rather than later so I can get some supplies in to have a go at another stage.

 

LN2 really is a luxury I cannot afford regularly at the moment :P

July 21, 2014 at 2:01:07 AM UTC

Good point. I'll update this week, but I assume we'll extend to the end of September (so one month extra - yeey!)

July 21, 2014 at 3:10:09 AM UTC

Good point. I'll update this week, but I assume we'll extend to the end of September (so one month extra - yeey!)

 

Yay, 1 extra month for people to buy mobile celeron 1.2s :(

July 21, 2014 at 3:52:38 AM UTC

Hah, not sure if anyone will find a better one. Yours is pretty darn crazy!

July 21, 2014 at 4:34:00 AM UTC

Hah, not sure if anyone will find a better one. Yours is pretty darn crazy!

 

When people actually get them, you'd be shocked at how easy it will be to beat it xD 300+FSB on air is no problem.

July 28, 2014 at 2:29:25 AM UTC

Hop, Hellas taking the lead!

July 28, 2014 at 12:41:50 PM UTC

Hop, Hellas taking the lead!

 

We got another month. Time to hold up a little. ;)

August 7, 2014 at 10:10:46 AM UTC

classicplatforms takes the lead back :)

August 7, 2014 at 3:35:38 PM UTC

I'm so glad that the time got extended for another month, I only have 1 day off a week and I usually spend that doing something with friends. :(

 

I have about 7-8 stages I still need to bench for too so don't rule out OCN just yet ;)

August 11, 2014 at 11:55:45 AM UTC

Go HwBox Hellas Go!

August 13, 2014 at 1:53:21 PM UTC

A heads-up based on some emails I received. Even though the rules state that the hardware must be released before June 1 (the start of the competition), I think we can just allow the 4790K/4690K/G3258 no problem. They don't give a benefit in any of the stages since the overclocking capability is pretty much that of their counterparts.

 

Any objections?

August 13, 2014 at 2:17:07 PM UTC

yea should be fine :)

August 13, 2014 at 2:42:24 PM UTC

Should be fine, I also have just the one concern regarding the Athlon XP stage which I've sent you a PM about bossman ;)

August 29, 2014 at 9:00:39 PM UTC

Is retail i7-5960X allowed?

August 29, 2014 at 9:33:36 PM UTC

Is retail i7-5960X allowed?

 

No , it was just releast.and as always hardware releast whyl a comp is running whil not be allowed

August 31, 2014 at 6:43:48 AM UTC

Haswell-E not allowed. I'll add that to the limitations.

September 10, 2014 at 7:29:28 PM UTC

How i submit hwbot prime whit snapdragon 800 and participe in team cup? i don know how :(

September 11, 2014 at 1:28:54 AM UTC

Let me know the URL and I'll fix it manually

September 12, 2014 at 7:02:31 PM UTC

Any reason I am doomed to not be able to do any submissions to the TC? Did I missed restrictions or sth. else to help out my team?

 

missed890.png

 

its just a testing score - but as I don't rely on sandbagging I want to properly add my results for the team...cup.

 

I just got an EVGA GF 610 and about to mod it - it is a waste of time anyway but might be fun if it helps us...

September 14, 2014 at 6:02:38 PM UTC

Solution to my problem posted here - yet it seems the submission pages for TC are (still) seriously bugged...

September 14, 2014 at 8:47:29 PM UTC

Could I please have this submission added to the competition?

http://hwbot.org/submission/2628976_mr.paco_hwbot_prime_tegra_4_t40x__%28wayne%29_1800mhz_2915_pps?recalculate=true

I do not see any way to submit it myself; normally a window would pop-up asking if I want to participate.

 

Also in the event I may better my score, must I have to ask to get it added again?

TIA...

September 15, 2014 at 3:35:05 AM UTC

Yup, added.

 

Please continue to give me heads ups for the competition scores. We are aware of the issues with the HWBOT Prime app and the Team Cup :(

September 15, 2014 at 2:38:13 PM UTC

Thank you :)...

September 16, 2014 at 2:02:54 AM UTC

Decided to show my hand since I might be too busy to visit the PC over the next few weeks. I do hope that someone is going to be able to challenge this one ;)http://hwbot.org/submission/2629811_obscureparadox_cpu_frequency_mobile_celeron_1.2ghz_4321.23_mhz

September 16, 2014 at 9:00:53 PM UTC

Did a bit better :); Please add this submission to the competition...

http://hwbot.org/submission/2630378_mr.paco_hwbot_prime_tegra_4_t40x__%28wayne%29_1800mhz_3036_pps?recalculate=true

September 23, 2014 at 12:25:28 PM UTC

Incredible amount of last minute submissions. Congrats to those that made the cut.

September 23, 2014 at 1:58:18 PM UTC

I never got my graphics cards back in time to get everything rebenched. Damn you uni!!!!! :P

 

Well done to everyone that has made the cut :)

September 23, 2014 at 2:43:07 PM UTC

I'm going over the results, and there are so many awesome scores :D

 

Still drooling over Stelaras' GF3 3DMark01. GF3 was the first card I ever benched ... such nice memories

September 23, 2014 at 3:30:22 PM UTC

yeah GF3 stage was nice =)

and i liked raspberry, too ^_^

 

nice competition :)

September 23, 2014 at 4:21:45 PM UTC

Congrats to XTREME OC Team Bulgaria, though Im very sad that you took our 5th place, when Im looking at your results I can only say that you really deserve it and it would be a pity if you cant compete for the champion. Outstanding AMD results, keep it up!

September 23, 2014 at 9:14:14 PM UTC

Greeks actually helped us :P Took some points from your team in the last hour and I could finally complete a 3dmark2000 run at stock with the 5th card I tried, then submit literally in the last minute.

It was tough with so many stages without a score.

September 24, 2014 at 5:57:40 AM UTC

Looking at my 3DMark 2000 score I realized it's invalid. Since it was in the last minute, I forgot to open the details screen.

If I calculate it right, we might still qualify for the 5th place - excluding the recent fgi's realbench score, minus 22pts from 3dmark2000. AwardFabrik moves one place up and gets additional 1pt in this stage.

 

However I can't check the realbench stage, because the page is crashing (java.lang.NullPointerException), so I'm not sure how many points we had before the cut, but if I remember correctly we were 5th even before my 3dmark 2000 score.

 

Can someone from the mods verify all scores of the top-5 teams? I'm not going to delete mine for now, to ensure the integrity of the rankings before the check.

September 24, 2014 at 9:42:44 AM UTC

Congrats to Bulgarian Team...:)

 

For me the 3D2000 from you is not a problem, would not remove...:)

 

Me personaly just jumped in to late to help the team, really sad, if I see how close it was...

September 25, 2014 at 10:36:15 AM UTC

Iirc it was around 6 points and I personally don't care about the details tab (in this case) and believe its a valid score.

so nothing wrong and congrats from here as well!

 

Couldn't get a good PCI card in time and the old singlestage was giving me a hard time - it was fun anyway!

 

Good luck to the 5 remaining teams during the final week!

September 25, 2014 at 12:05:36 PM UTC

PCI was a big problem for me as well. I tried everything with Zotac 610 PCI.

Fed it up externally from a HD4850 up to 1.4V and still didn't help, although it did 1300+ MHz for DX9 Heaven.

However, on DX11 I can only see the Benchmarking... text when the bench starts and that's it. Monitor goes into power saving mode.

I guess it can't handle the heavy tesselation, maybe the PCI bandwidth is too low for that kind of load?

 

External power helped finish DX9 (it was not completing either before the mod), but not with DX11. I guess it's not a coincidence everyone used that little Radeon.

 

Regarding the 3DMark 2000 it sure is a valid score, since everything was on stock, but there were cases competition scores had been removed for even smaller mistakes. I barely managed to finish it 4 min before the end, then make screenshot, photo, transfer from that rig to the other PC, upload..etc. But I really think we were 5th before that, so it doesn't really matter in that case, unless there are other invalid scores which can make a difference.

 

But I think we need a confirmation from the staff that all results are valid, because even a single invalid score from any team in the top 10 or so would change the final rankings. So we need to know ASAP if it's ok to bench for the remaining week, or need to stop right now.

September 25, 2014 at 3:28:30 PM UTC

Now , talking about that stage (DX11 pci) i would really like to know , how he managed this score , with a 512MB version PCI vga.

September 25, 2014 at 10:17:28 PM UTC

PCI Stage could have been soooo funny this week :/

Got this sucker some hours ago and my very special Foxconn Avenger (near 50 MHurtz PCI) ready...wish we could still bench for TC :P

If you could even get the thing to run a full run of Heaven that is :P

September 26, 2014 at 12:23:16 AM UTC

I just remarked lol....

 

~120 points in DX9 (still my fav) but no way it runs dx11...never got the point doing dx11 instead of 9 for the old cards...

 

...just to prove mfc's f*ck you up with drivers and support on cards like that??

Congrats winner Greece, respect to Bulgaria! Happy to have participated in this good comp :)

September 30, 2014 at 12:28:13 PM UTC

Congrats to all finalists! It's hard to believe that a five member team finished second. Great work guys!

September 30, 2014 at 12:40:48 PM UTC

Congrats HwBox to the victory!

 

It's been a blast and I'm extremly happy Techsweden took 5th place, better than I anticipated before hand. Now I can rest. :D

September 30, 2014 at 12:44:50 PM UTC

Well done HWBOX!!! Well deserved victory. Congrats to all the other teams! Time to gather the pieces and rest for a while!

September 30, 2014 at 1:04:08 PM UTC

September 30, 2014 at 1:05:05 PM UTC

Congrats HwBox Hellas O/C Team. We begin participate this cup fighting for fifth place, and finished second. I know that we can't win , but i don't expect such big difference between us.

Congrats again.

September 30, 2014 at 1:16:24 PM UTC

Some very good submissions. Congrats to hwbox Hellas. Impressive point total.

September 30, 2014 at 1:20:38 PM UTC

September 30, 2014 at 3:55:34 PM UTC

September 30, 2014 at 4:40:50 PM UTC

Congratz all, nice results there... too bad no time here to even think about serious OCing atm...

September 30, 2014 at 7:30:50 PM UTC

WAIT :eek:!!!!!!!!!

I thought this was suppose to be a competition for humans.

STELARAS & I.NFRAR.ED and their respected teams ARE NOT HUMAN, they cant be...

 

Seriously though;

Congratulations & much respect :ws:.

It was my honor to run in this comp with you guys.

:celebration:

 

 

I still think the Greeks & Bulgarians are not human :D

Now back to grinding :P;)...

September 30, 2014 at 8:21:48 PM UTC

Congrats to all who participated! This comp was insane and some really nice scores done from old school hardware. Much congrats to all my teammates at HWBOX you are the best :)

Also congrats to Xtreme Oc Team Bulgaria, really nice benching guys!

October 1, 2014 at 5:58:17 AM UTC

Excellent benching guys!!

 

Now give me a couple of days to digest and do a write up :D

October 1, 2014 at 9:39:50 AM UTC

Respect to Greeks and congrats.

I actually thought we would come a little closer.

I'm disappointed from myself, because I could do better in some (AMD) stages.

October 1, 2014 at 3:34:00 PM UTC

Congrats HwBox Hellas O/C Team!! next pro oc cup, I will cheer your team.

XTREME OC Team Bulgaria, Catch-up of the last 1 week was amazing, Congrats 2nd!

And Congrats all Participating team!

October 13, 2014 at 10:16:49 AM UTC

Hey guys,

 

Just a heads-up, Cooler Master is ready to get in touch with the winners it's just us who have been a bit slow on processing the Team Cup winners. Stay tuned!! :)

December 13, 2014 at 12:41:40 AM UTC

Any word on prizes?

December 13, 2014 at 6:23:26 AM UTC

These have not been send out yet?!

 

Time to kick some butt ...

December 19, 2014 at 10:32:07 PM UTC

:eek:

Must have been some butt kicking, stuff arrived here today. Thank you. :)

December 20, 2014 at 3:13:47 AM UTC

Awesome, right in time for Christmas :).

 

Happy holidays!

December 31, 2014 at 2:54:28 PM UTC

Apparently Cooler Master uses Santa for delivery. I guess it makes sense since he's going everywhere anyway this time of year. :D
