Novice Nimble #5

Welcome to the Novice Nimble! Via the Rookie Rumble you’re now familiar with competitions at HWBOT and OC-ESPORTS. Now it's time to learn about team work. Find an overclocking team, motivate two other Novices and enjoy the Novice Nimble!

There are five stages in the Novice Nimble. Each of the stages requires combining 3 scores to form a team average. The team with the best average gathers the most points. In addition to the benchmarks we know from the Rookie Rumble, you will also have to compete in two 3D stages. To win, you will need good overclocking skills but most importantly a strong and cohesive team. Check out the stage tabs to find out the hardware and benchmark requirements. Good luck!

Novice Nimble: How Does It Work?

The Novice Nimble is based on the concept of the Country Cup competition series. To move up the rankings, you need to improve your team’s best-of-three average in each stage. It is up to you and your team members to determine the best strategy. Our engine is not doing the work for you! So you need to find out who takes on which particular challenge in the stages.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s good to assign members to specific hardware for each stage. Individuals trying to compete with all the hardware are quite likely to block other users from contributing to the team average.

To explain how the average is formed we provide you the image below. You will find three different scenarios, each explaining a specific situation for each team:

  • In Scenario 1, three users from one team each submit scores with three different hardware items. The team average is based on these scores and all users are contributing. The team average is completed.
  • In Scenario 2, three users from one team each submit one result. Two use the same hardware. Only the top score is used for the team average, so the team average is not complete (2/3). In order for complete the team average, one user must submit using different hardware.
  • In Scenario 3, two users from one team submit respectively two and one results with two different types of hardware. In this case there are two options: in case one user has the best score with both hardware, the score of the second user is not taken into account. Then the team average requires two more submissions to complete. In case two, each user has the best score for a hardware item. In that case the team average only requires one more user with a different hardware to complete the team average.

OCN is serious about this one :D

You bet! :D

:eek:

 

Keep up the good work all :D

TecLab has massive potential too ... big user base

October 16, 2015 at 9:27:02 PM UTC

Will start to check scores this weekend... be afraid be very afraid :P

My gpuipi 32b is not in competition why ?

October 26, 2015 at 1:49:35 AM UTC

What do you mean by "it's not in competition?"

October 26, 2015 at 9:12:18 AM UTC

Hi Massman !

 

Edit : Don't bother, full bullshet, we didn't pay close attention to the rules x)

 

These 4th submits are linked to NN#5, but are not comptabilize in our score :

http://hwbot.org/submission/3015165

http://hwbot.org/submission/3012919 <-- Edit : Ok sorry we didn't see the family restriction

http://hwbot.org/submission/3014797 <-- Edit : Idem.

http://hwbot.org/submission/3014732

 

Maybe it's the same issues we had at the previous NN, with Nexus' PCM7 submit being blocked by an outdated other submission.

 

Can you give a look please ? ^^

How do you guys like the x265 benchmark for competitions ? Any major issues or all good ?

There are no rules for them at the moment, so I'm assuming that we can't use Win8. However, he was working on a fix I believe. Any bench with no rules in a comp is just asking for trouble in my opinion.

 

On a good note it seems to be popular and tweak-able!

October 28, 2015 at 4:19:35 PM UTC

x265 benchmark is good, feels like a blend of CB and XTU in a weird way.

 

Could I use a dual 771 board for the reference clock? It doesnt specify # of CPUs just socket type...

November 4, 2015 at 10:16:25 PM UTC

Sure you can use it...

 

!!Take note all plz include CPU-Z CPU and memory tab in the X265 benchmark!!

November 6, 2015 at 3:29:11 PM UTC

How old submissions are allowed?

November 7, 2015 at 11:56:49 PM UTC

Is there a reason for a submission to not show up in the competition? http://www.catzilla.com/showresult?lp=581280

November 9, 2015 at 8:57:48 PM UTC

If i only had teammates...... After almost 2 months on this Team, i just want to say. ZWAME Sucks so hard, that should be vanished from HWBot. 2 Months and just me doing , Benchs?????? Why, im in this stupid team after all.

 

If a proper team wants me, just ask.

 

Keep the good work guys,

November 9, 2015 at 9:32:07 PM UTC

@Noxinite would probably have a nice chat with you about joining Overclock.net. He's been the guy in charge of organizing our NN efforts thus far!

We would be happy to have you on the team!

Do you have a link to the hwbot submission? :D

November 10, 2015 at 3:29:27 PM UTC

Thanks for the reply, totally my oversight which a teammate brought to my attention. My submission didn't show because we already had a score from the 900 series of which mine was lower.

November 21, 2015 at 8:07:00 AM UTC

So when are the results going to be announced? Normally it's before the next one starts (#6 starts today).
