do submissions have to be with 2 core cpus only? so you cannot disable cores / threads on 5930k/5960x?

 

I believe it has to be a 2 core. I asked for some previous comps and they said disabling cores is not allowed, I think it's like a general rule for oc esports comps.

 

It would be nice to be able to, more people could get involved. I only have an eight core right now for my gigabyte board so I can't even participate. But I would imagine it would make a moderating mess.

Didn't get the rules for 1 stage. Aim is 450 XTU points? What will be if several overclockers get the same amount of points?

"In case of a tie the earliest submission wins"

 

In case of points tie at the end of the competition, we will calculate the total submission time of the submissions (compared to the beginning of the stage)

Anyway didn't get anything. What does the total submission time of the submissions mean? So in exteme category we already have a guy who reached target score, therefore it means Darkvenon already won this stage, am I right?

Everyone who hits the target gets 1 point. At the end of the competition (6 rounds), whoever has the highest points wins. In case there is a tie, we look at who hit the target the fastest.

 

So if you are 5x faster than Darkvenom in the next stages, you can still win :).

I have no idea why, but i thought that rules are similar with last year rules, so there is a prize for every stage. Seems I was wrong. Or I'm mistaken again :confused:
