Rookie Rumble #33

Welcome to the Rookie Rumble! We assume you arrived here via XTU and that’s great but the OC world offers much more. The Rumble introduces you to the concept of competitive overclocking. It’s a contest only for new overclockers like you. Good luck!

There are three stages, each with the same hardware restrictions but featuring a different benchmark. The benchmarks are: XTU, HWBOT Prime, and GPUPI for CPU - 100M. You can gather points by submitting in each of the three stages. The better the result, the more points you acquire and the higher you'll rank overall! Note that the validation process for the benchmarks is slightly different. Check out the rules section to learn more or drop us a message on our forums if you have a question.

Lo all,

 

I waded through the numerous submissions, but had to remove a few, especially in the Geekbench stage

 

Make sure for Stage 2 and 3 you have a screenshot according the rules laid down. This means a CPU-Z tab for CPU and Memory must be visible in the screenshot. For Stage 3 also the Geekbench Launcher application needs to be visible!!

 

 

Happy benching
