Contest Rules
- This competition is limited to GIGABYTE Z170 motherboards only.
- Every submission must include the screenshot with the competition background and a picture of the rig.
- To be eligible for the lucky draw, participants must submit in all stages of the round they select.
- A participant is eligible to win in only one round. If he is found to be the winner in multiple rounds, the prize will go to the runner up. If a participant is a round winner, he will not be eligible for the lucky draw.
- In case of a tie, the tie-breaker is the best score in Stage 3. If there’s still a tie, the best score in Stage 2, etc.
- A verification screenshot is required.
- Please attach a picture of your overclocking rig.
Make sure to check the stage rules for the specific rules on limited processor frequency, overclocker league restrictions and processor CPU core count.
by 4 cores does it mean 4 cores and 8 threads or 4 cores and 4 threads?
This submission have to high clock speed, not by much, but even so:

We all know that problem is fsb fluctuation. If i made screenshot 1 second before or after frequency may be under 4,5Ghz. Fsb with this mainboard jumps a lot, what can i do?
I can't re run it.
How with fsb 100,07 Mhz , memory and Nb frequency are under 3200Mhz and 4400Mhz?
Just checking that the XTU Stage is also 4503Mhz, as it only says 4500Mhz in the rules for Stage 1 XTU, but the other two stages have 4503Mhz?
Yes I have my XTU showing 4.49Ghz, my CPU-Z is showing 4502.2Mhz, which after reading the previous posts, I then decided to check all the Stage Rules again and noticed that it said 4500mhz for XTU and the other 2 were 4503mhz, which is why I thought I'd better double check.
So my XTU screenshot is valid correct ?
Thankyou for clarifying that.
I hope wonder video to confirm the various scores
Some of the scores posted for the various stages, appear to be ridiculously high for 4500mhz. As in just unattainable and it appears that they have been run at higher frequencies and then the frequency put back to 4500mhz using GTL after the bench is run, which the icon for GTL can be clearly seen in some of the screenshots. Also the voltages in CPU-Z for the high scores, are also equating to voltages for higher frequencies and would not be needed to be set that high for 4.5 Ghz. Just bringing this to everyone's attention, because it would not be fair if people did cheat.
Following are a few examples that just don't look right.
Example 1 - http://img.hwbot.org/u43611/image_id_1595263.jpg
Vcore is at 1.6 which is like for 5.0ghz and above and not needed for 4.5ghz and the score is basically what you would get if you ran at 5ghz not 4.5ghz.
Example 2 - http://img.hwbot.org/u62680/image_id_1595160.png
Geekbench Multi Score, just seems a bit too high for 4500mhz, when others are at around 20,100-20,200 approx.
Example 3 - http://img.hwbot.org/u60320/image_id_1595196.jpg
Again just seems way to high for Prime 0.8.3 at 4500mhz and again look at the Vcore voltage 1.46.
6700k can run 4.5ghz all day long at 1.28-1.30 volts and that's running Prime 95 v28.7 which puts way more load on the cpu.
i think u can beat these scores easily . I only had the motherboard 2 days ago and i had to bench for 2 cores and 4 cores competitions .
When i saw the big hwbotprime's scores i thought they were bugued at first but i was able repeat them consistently .
I had higher score (+100 points ) but but i decided not so save them .
When i see 7200+ at 5ghz i assume thoses scores were ok finally .
I have videos too .
7232 at 5ghz :

The result is funny ☺

Websmile please check all results. Some of results are runing at higher cpu clock for sure! Like 7200+ hwbot prime @5ghz!
When cpu clock is limit at some clocks, you should choose the benchmark that has not no way to decrease cpu freq after finishing benchmark then take a shot.
