what about world series for amateurs?
Thanks
Hey why i can sumbit Catzilla 720p.HWbot say my verify link is null but it loading not error.how i can fix that end sumbit score to competittion ?
I think that should be fine, but let me check with ASUS
Can you try again?
I try a lot but Hwbot stay say null verify link
Did you enter a verification link?
yes
hi , what time will u release the target maxxmem on 20/03/2015 please?
Hm, tried to fix something.
Can you try again?
* A VERIFICATION LINK IS REQUIRED. - YOUR SUBMISSION DOES NOT COMPLY TO THIS RULE
VERIFICATION URL MUST MATCH PATTERN: http://HTTP://[W\.]*CATZILLA.COM/SHOWRESULT?LP=[0-9=?]*
http://www.catzilla.com/showresult?lp=447491
it's strange that the longer my score sits there, the lower it goes...
Man i am gonna brutally murder my poor 4770k trying to keep up with those 4790k
How do you mean?
mine is doing ok, not sure how much more i want to push it though
Hi could we know at what time u're releasing the target maxxmen on 03/20/2015 please?
The target score will be released on 03/20/2015 at 12:00pm UTC
Thanks
Is it mid day or mid night time ? it s a bit confusing
thanks
I believe that HWMonitor should be open from the beginning to the end of the benchmark .
example

[quotepMassman says:
Now, 24.
When people submit better scores, you go down in the ranking and get less points. The only way to improve your ranking is to improve your score
"is it mid day or midnight time please "
Anyone?
12PM is noon
Thanks

Z77 boards do not apply?
"Engineering samples are not allowed." What does this mean? If you have access to wierd super secret Asus hardware???
Or CPU engineering samples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_sample
Ah, so stuff normal people have no access to. Thanks
Hello.
My CPU idle temperature is +8 (ice water). In load above +50.
+20 is a limit to the temperature at idle? Or load?
Good question !
"The CPU load temperature must be higher than 20°C" Says here:
http://hwbot.org/submit/competition_stage/2028?esports=true&token=4f31ceb6-60aa-487c-894f-2d50faa35763
I saw it.
But there is another formulation:
http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/rogocs_formula_r1/rules
"Min CPU temperature = 20°C"
I know, Maybe it`s load temperature???
Hi,
i have a problem with Catzilla, start bench and have a bluescreen, but Harware @default?????????????
3Dmark and other benches run,no problems.
Thx for help
During the benchmark monitoring the temperature cannot go below 20°C. So even if the CPU is idle during for example a graphics test, the temperature cannot go below 20°C.
What are your system specifications?
If the benchmark(XTU) opened, but is not running, the temperature may be below 20?
In XTU, the temperature that we look at the the one that is shown with the score as that's the temperature during the benchmark
Massman
Look XPU Benchmark
If that is the temperature, so how to get the maximum processor frequency and highest temperature to work. Mine is not showing anything, like some of us here?
Is it still valid score without them...?
Asus gtx titan x ????
Why not, TitanX have only 1 GPU
asus gtx titan x is ok ????
bios NVIDIA(10DE) ??????
Titan x isn t available in eu
Hi, have a higher MaxxMem Score but not the first place ?
Ok, first rules read
Anyone else having issues submitting for Stage 2? Every time I submit says it is incomplete but does not tell me what is missing even with filling out literally EVERY field.
EDIT: Been trying for the hour with nothing. This is extremely frustrating.
I understand if I'm missing something but to not be able to reveal what is needed or missing, is absurd for a competition hosted by such a large manufacture.
I have problem with Stage 2 submission. Incomplete submission...
I'd like to apologize as I figured out what the issue was and was ultimately my fault. During the heat of the moment of trying to submit a somewhat time sensitive competition entry, I overlooked where I was being told what was missing.
If you carefully look at the above submission text, it says you need to put in load temp. Thing is the text is same format, color and font of the rest of the already established rules. So combine this with normal HWBot engine not providing an exact location of missing information, it is very easy to overlook.
So please, with Stage 2 in this particular competition, make sure to enter your load temps. :celebration:
Confirmed - trying to fix it
