there is something wrong in this competition...

i posted only in 1' stage and i have no points (no hw points , no right position for my cpu frequency)

February 26, 2015 at 4:51:08 PM UTC

Is the timer correct on this contest? Two of the stages say they end in 4 days, one says 8 days, and the title says the contest ends on Mar 10, 12 days away. Are the stages staggered or everything ends on Mar 10, like the banner says?

February 27, 2015 at 9:52:02 PM UTC

it's not fair to have a challenge that we have LN2 guys VS Water-cooling guys !!!! you need split it into 2 chapters that we have proper chance thus you make the competition more sweat . it doesn't matter how the prizes are . but we need a fair challenge.

Any update here?

1st stage would end tomorrow morning, kinda unusal.

March 3, 2015 at 12:53:27 AM UTC

Yes, the stages end at a different time

March 3, 2015 at 5:49:07 PM UTC

Really... damn, i'm fucked up. the overview page timer need to be adjusted, I planned to bench this week BUT stage one is already ended.... overviews have to show all timer or time of the next stage ended, not the last one :(

March 4, 2015 at 3:24:20 AM UTC

Yea, I know, same happened to me. The hardware I was planning on using doesn't even arrive until tomorrow. Fooled by the banner.

March 7, 2015 at 9:07:08 AM UTC

Why has my CPU frequency score changed. Under recent submissions and in HWBot.com it is giving me points for 5027.47 mhz when my score clearly is 5228.57 or 5229MHz. I had .7 Hardware points a few days ago for it now it is down to .1

I believe the score was removed due to not complying with the validation requirements
