Challenger 2020 Division III round 1 - 6 cores only
Closed
User Competition
Online
Welcome to the Road to Pro Challenger Divisions 2020 - In this series you can compete with overclockers from around the globe who use the same hardware. This season features three rounds each with four different stages. Good luck!
Accumulate the most points in the different stages of the season rounds and become the Division Champion. In Challenger Division I round 1 the processor choice is limited to Core i7 series (non-HEDT). The graphics card choice is limited to single GPU graphics cards (excl Titan). You can find more information about restrictions on the competition stage pages.
Competition points have been broken for some competitions for a while now.
4 core stage also no points!
!!!!!Due to multiplier detection error , Open Hardware Monitor will no longer be allowed for future submissions. Frequency (and temperature) Monitoring via HWinfo32/64 and or Benchmate!!!
Its fantastic that you allow submissions with load 30-50 % and the rules demand hwinfo to run during test...
How is that possible to have great score with no full load if hwinfo runs in background?
There's no idle /load or any temp demand for this division... Just maximum frequency. Some benches are just too fast and don't use up all processor clocks ( eg parallel Pi) but even the heavy ones like CBR20 are sometimes not picked up correctly idle/load wise by HWinfo.
In the example screenshot below you see that the freqs detected by HWinfo and Benchmate are similar, thus approved. Load is not required to be maxed out in the rules
@Obijuan83 So again read and analyse the competition rules before starting a useless reporting spree.
@TASOS can you have a talk with him, seems I'm not getting through....
I read the rules and its says 4503 max.
And if someone run it at 4550, get the score then set it at 4502 opens hwinfo and get the valid score?What about that?
Is that allowed??
As for Tasos to speak with me because you are not getting through, maybe your answers are not enough...
Am I supposed to get a delete spree in my scores from you?
Every time I post something I saw my scores get deleted!
Maybe someone needs an extended break? we can arrange such things too , this without any reservation or pre-payment required.
This is a serious answer from a moderator?
Because I asked you for something I thought weird?
I was having a 10 year break and decided to Bench again and I want to play with fair rules!And to be first...sorry for that , I bought cpu pots,gpu pots ln2 dewars, binned cpus...
Sorry for being irritating I thought its for everyones good to have a clean and honest enviroment.
If you dont want that ok, I can silence , leave the things as is but please dont be strict only against me.
I will try to be ok with the submissions rules

(And a tail from the crypt for all us to laugh...back in 2007 when I was achieved Pcmark04 WR using i-ram, hwbot decided that it was not allowed.Today I can see that everything is allowed and its good for community.)
Obviously not, one of the positives of using bm for comps is it can track MHz during a run to try and avoid this issue.
I know that , my question was for Paralel pi which is not using BM at that stage ,is that so hard to see?
The report spree mentioned above was for Parallel pi scores
BM is cure I can it understand now , because as I can see not everything is as supposed...
My statement still applies. Changing freq like that isn't allowed, and that is a benefit of bm for clock limited comps.
Just don't cheat
I dont cheat, but I would like and others dont cheat.
Can you understand what I describe?
I speak that there are submission with parallel pi scores with hwinfo at "4503" and load at 15-30%...
Isn't that weird to you???
Parallel PI is a try-out ( it is still Beta and therefore also has no rules) as some mentioned it was tweakable benchmark scaling nicely with mem clocks, timings and such. The processor strain on modern CPUs is not high enough to make it show 100% load, let alone 50%.
Ok its over for me
I was reading this thread and became curious.
Every time I run Parallel pi, my 8700k jumps to 100% or high 90's load, no matter the priority. Perhaps a bios setting would allow it to run at half load that I'm not aware of.
Leeghoofd would understand this better than me, but this does show the beauty of software like Bench Mate for competitions with restrictions. Very nice indeed, IMO
U salty af, why even bother, its just a competition between us, overclockers...
?
Will entries made on or before 2nd of February using Open Hardware Moinitor be removed from the competition?
Nope, unless things are shady
