I can not upload XTU data.
why?
Small (April fool's) bug. All fixed
Can I use my 5960X CPU which disabled 2 core to join the XTU 6 Core Gigabyte's competition ?
I don't understand about the target score, the website shows up my 2211 score without 1 points, but it does not show 2207 score or 2214 score when I submit ?
Not possible.
Your score with 2211 points is currently your closest result to the target, or it is even already the target score.
Thank you very much
I'm so confused about the rule : "if two participants hit the same target starting from the earliest target) the one with the earliest submission wins."
It means if someone won stage 1, and in the last stage I and him have the same total points, is he the winner ?
And how many submissions are required to enter the lucky draw?
try to be crafty and find ways to seriously impede XTU in running the bench
etolie?
Checking the scores, please wait for the official winner announcement
