68 pts Vivi

Competition background download link should be fixed (it's also available on the competition stage pages)

CPU Frequency need a screenshot too?

What's the problem, ToDay?

When do we find out the spi 32M target time? Leaving in 3 days and won't be back home until after Jan 1st.

Stage 3: Super Pi 32M

▻The target score is to be revealed on HWBOT on Monday, December 29th

▻Submission will be open for 24 hours on Sunday, January 4th 2015 (following the UTC+08:00 time zone).

what do you mean under target score? will be any limitations like in XTU? or you have to do 6:00:00 min for example, lowest clock wins? or you have to do sub 6:00:00 min to enter the competition like target? or thats all secret

There will be a target score and the first to hit the exact score wins. Otherwise whoever is closest wins.

ahhh clear, thanks PJ, too bad i will be on holiday under stage 3 good luck all

i had same issues, now i cannot do retest with cpu bcoz valid is not enough, and during holidays no ln2, no time. wasted effort. good luck all anyway!

Sadly I will only enter for the lucky draw prices. I bought an SOC motherboard but with this holidays days motherboard did not arrived at time and I am running a "crappy" Z97M-D3H...

Why the 3rd stage is open already? Guideline says January 4th...

Stage 3: Super Pi 32M

The target score is to be revealed on HWBOT on Monday, December 29th

The above quote is taken from the Contest news story if anyone is interested.

I guess I am not alone in looking forward to hearing what is going on with this contest.

Congrats to fgi the winner - well done mate solid scores across all three legs.

I do not get it...

455 seconds and 450 second are not almost 7 minutes and 50 seconds?

Oops! Shouldn't be open just yet.

The target score will be revealed 48h before the competition ends; the competition will be opened 24h before the competition ends.

The target score is within the range you find on the competition page.

I'm not a winner.

My be Vivi is. I want to win stage 1 to have any chance but....

I do not get it...

 

455 seconds and 450 second are not almost 7 minutes and 50 seconds?

small hint, one minutes has 60 seconds - this takes your target between 7m30s and 7m 35 seconds if I calculated correctly^^

Oops! Shouldn't be open just yet.

 

The target score will be revealed 48h before the competition ends; the competition will be opened 24h before the competition ends.

 

The target score is within the range you find on the competition page.

so if i am corect.

the right time that must be obtained, anywhere between 7 m 50 sec and 7 m 58s will be announced 2 January.

Hi sir

CPU clock need screenshot？，I was forgot， my screenshot only can 6610mhz, so many high cpu frequency can't capture.

my 6810mhz result :http://hwbot.org/submission/2714204

So the score will be released con January 3rd and not today?

so if i am corect.

the right time that must be obtained, anywhere between 7 m 50 sec and 7 m 58s will be announced 2 January.

No. Target score will be between 7.30m and 7.35m.

7min x 60sec = 420sec +30sec = 450sec

Thank you Massman for clearing this up. I do hope that the target is a very specific target down to the hundreds of seconds just to make it a real challenge.

And fgi my friend my money is on you to win.

Hang about - can someone please explain how suddenly some folks have screenshots in stage two submissions when they seemingly did not have any before? I now understand fgi why you tipped others to win and not yourself.

Would like official explanation how or why that is allowed.

I guess that you refer to Vivi, laoshu1919 and me...

Vivi enter to the stage around 1 hour before its close, laoshu1919 did the same around 30 minutes before I think. In my case, I uploaded the score 5 minutes before the stage close. Anyway, my score doesn't affect you but the others two...

Remember that sandbagging still exist...

my submission is removed ，no matter， just play it ！ I quit the game， good luck for everyone ！

Cheers mate

I just had a quick look at the submission dates and yeah I see that Vivi's entry was much later than mine, 29th according to the HWBOT submissions page. Even though the contest closed on the 28th.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Not problem

Time zone is always a "problem", I uploaded my score at 3AM local time...

Stage 3 is open for submissions again.

So the score will be released con January 3rd and not today?

The stage is open during January 4 following the GMT+8 time-zone. The exact target is revealed 48 hours before the competition ends (so early January 3 GMT+8 timezone).

Thank you Massman for clearing this up. I do hope that the target is a very specific target down to the hundreds of seconds just to make it a real challenge.

Yes, a very specific target .

Stage 3 is open for submissions again.

Hm, it says open but can't submit.

It was able to submit yesterday.

Is the wallpaper for stage 3 the same as the other two?

can only download the wallpaper on the Rules and Guidelines page.

other links ar not working.

ps: need to find some ms

i need a few ms too .

I need to lose some, my best score is almost 150ms over the target score

In case of two or more people have the same difference in 3rd stage, who wins? 1st that submitted the score? Or you make a lucky draw?

First that submitted the score.

last minute again.

Congrats Vivi.

Congrats to the winner, good time Alan_Alberino in Stage 3. Congrats.

crazy stuff guys, that 32m was crazy hard lol. i had to down my freq on loop 24 to get 891. was luck. great job FGI and albertino. FGI you made me panic haha

Yes, that 32M was crazy and hard I worked almost 24 hours on it and I can not get a much better time than uploaded here.

The good thing is, that I learn some very good things while I was tweaking the OS and settings for get a better time.

Thanks Vivi and saint19! Congrats to Vivi for the 1st place and FGI for 2nd place! And also to Achill3uS, HiVizMan and topdog, winners of Z97X-SOC Force LN2 motherboards!

Hope the mods verify the scores soon and confirm the winners.

If I am right, you also win a Force LN2 board Alan, is the winner of each stage. The "problem" would choose the winner of stage 2 since Vivi won stage 1 and 2, I guess that motherboard will go to 2nd place in that stage.

hahaha

I really try to reach target all day, but have no luck.

Alan_Alberino beat me.

By the way I change frequency few time in single run to reach around target score.

Rules say "If an overall challenge winner is also a stage 1st place winner, the stage prize will go to the stage next best performance."

Vivi and I are overall challenge winners, so price go to the next best performance on all stages.

Maybe, I would think than that rule just apply to the 1st place in general....maybe I am wrong.

No Vivi is overall challenge winner. You are stage winner.

So I will receive mainbord may be. Yeeeee

I was mean.

Overall challenge winner is Vivi, so, motherboards in stage 1 and 2 goes for 2nd place in that stage while Alan get the last one for win the stage 3.

congrats to all.and have fun whit the prize

It says "an overall winner" like it were more than one. Lets see what Massman or the organization people says, it would be great to win U$S 400 + a Z97X-SOC Force LN2 but I dont think it is possible

Congrats everyone

I really enjoyed the 32m stage, managed to hit 7m33.890 about eight times but couldn't nail .888

Good luck in the draw

Yeah, it was a very hard stage, I got 885, 886, 890, and then I put run and went to take a shower, and when I went back to my room it said 889 and I couldnt believe it

My first event, Learned so much. Thanks too all Congrats to winners!

WOW Alan you got that close to target so many times!

i got 875 3 times, made me very frustrated. Yes i think how the prizes work is top 3 gets money and no mobo, then the next top scorer gets the mobo

Yeah, but after the final score that I submited, all scores were +30ms of dif with the target... Here a photo that I took for Facebook of my second closest score:

If first that submitted the score, have advantage. I must have 18pts, topdog-16pts, Vivi-12pts and pho5ph0ric-14pts.

We will have to wait to know, with CES 2015 going on, mods probably have their heads on other things, but its understandable

I damage my socket pin by accident

I couldn't try to run stage 3

Any news about scores verification?

Sorry for the delay guys, CES took some time out of our schedule.

The verification has been done, we'll inform GIGABYTE now.

When are you going to announce the official winners? Thanks!

FYI - We informed Gigabyte about the winners. The news item will be up this week and Gigabyte will get in touch with all the winners. Congrats everyone!

Thx GIGABYTE for hosting the event and for the Lucky draw price, good luck to the rest
