Tried submission several times but the CPU validation link not accepted. Any help/insight be welcome, thanks.

I think it's the 'https:' Try entering the link without 'http://' or 'https://' and let the bot insert that part.

 

Thanks for working on that stage. I did challenge you to beat my score, now i have to live with it.

It usualy is already enough to remove the s at https

June 3, 2017 at 10:44:19 PM UTC

jab383 I tried that and I tried Chino's suggestion on ROG forum of using: valid.canardpc.com/975tx1

 

This is the error I get again same as before the night I ran the bench, then same following morning when trying again. I did have the screenie/system rig images in sub but those get removed after the error.

 

Done subs before on OC-Esports / HWBot never had this issue :/ . I'll try another run and get another validation and report back.

For some reason you are missing the http AND https from your submission. It should have an "http://" before the URL so it looks exactly like this: "http://valid.canardpc.com/975tx1" instead of "https://valid.canardpc.com/975tx1"

 

If you remove the https:// you would think hwbot would interpret it as http:// but if that logic isn't written into the web application then it's going to interpret as it being incorrect.

OK, I took your link, I removed the s from https and it works. If this doesn´t work for you, clear cache and cookies or use another browser

websmile`s Reference Frequency score: 475 MHz with a Rampage Extreme

Will delete after you checked, so please give me a heads up :)

 

P.S. Please all check your results, tomorrow is deadline :)

Thank you all for help. Just to make sure I was not nuts I tried just a straight up CPU Frequency sub on HWBot. Copy and paste of address of sub then equals fail on submit.

 

This included https://, I then changed only url from https://valid.x86.fr/chln2e to http://valid.canardpc.com/chln2e it worked. So did sub here same way and all AOK. It was more hard work getting the sub done then gaining the OC :o .
