Where is official competition background?

Only Gigabyte board I have is LN2........

is z170 allowed

Z97 LN2 board allowed or not? Using Haswell is competitive disadvantage no matter the board's DIMM layout

thanks for the update

Yes, Z170 is allowed, I see no restriction on this - but no unreleased hardware (LN2 boards or sadly the z270 gaming soc)

so...its Z270 or the Z170 SOC Force

ugh

you're going to have so many people with the same score haha.

Thats a shame, all I have is a z270 gaming soc, was excited to enter, definitely dissapointed but I understand from hwbot point of view.

ya I understand, it makes sense

Please specify clearly whether the panel at the Z170 gaming can be

Z270 Gaming K3 GIGABYTE

may be allowed

When stage 2 and 3 will be open?

Is Aorus Z270X Gaming 5 not allowed? I bought at my local store on February 9. I cannot upload submission.

Hi, I'm new, so please forgive my idiocy. How can I delete a submission? I posted score for the wrong test!

(",)

How can I delete my submission too? Seems like XTU read my mobo wrong. Just noticed it after submitting. Supposed to be Z270X Gaming 5 instead of Z170X Gaming 5.

Can't you edit the mobo type after submitting the score? So submit first, let the database calculate your score/ranking. Afterwards press the EDIT button on the right (as Websmile mentioned before) and edit your mobo type

Looking to confirm if GIGABYTE GA-Z270N-Gaming 5 is allowed. I think it was released March 1st or so in US but earlier overseas

I found a few price compare sites a while back. This one shows prices from Feb 27 from 9 shops

https://www.priceme.co.nz/Gigabyte-Z270N-Gaming-5/p-898785404.aspx

This site claims 02/22/2017 release date

A couple of hints ... and please only use publicly available BIOS versions, we do not want guys to have an unfair advantage by new xoc BIOS others cannot use

So the x06 bios on a z97x-soc force is not alowed,than i know what to do tomorow after work.

https://www.mediafire.com/?wsldl1r1wlh2ris

X8e bios for Z270N Gaming 5.

I make absolutely no claims that its any good, I haven't had a chance to properly test it myself

Thanks for the BIOS, but we will not allow it for the march madness because it came too late. We will re evaluate this like all restrictions for the next parts of the Gigabyte series, yes, there is more to come

thats what I figured.

good luck guys, I'm out.

Another heads up - for time spy physics the rules of time spy apply for LOD (not allowed) and latest system info with monitoring enabled is mandatory - we orientate on screenshot and validation link for seeing if the 5003 cap was not violated, when I see 4ghz as max turbo or something similarily ridiculous I have no choice but to remove the entry

wait so do I need to redo my 102.05BCLK run? Because I have 5G CPU-z but 3Dmark is showing 5004MHz

Unfortunately yes, CPUZ and futuremark readout have to be 5003 or less

Great so I can go back to rerunning timespy for a while but at 0.02 less BCLK or what ever it is that will make 3Dmark happy.

I have the best Haswell, I'm taking that as a moral victory.

What was wrong with my submissions?

Really tight 1st round - around 2.6% from Top 10 to 1st place, awesome competition

Still in for Lucky draw, right? Hahahahahah :p

Not the fastest but at least I'm the oldest one around here

Guys, now when 1 stage is done, can you tell me how the hell you get 200 more points with less core speed and not so tight RAM like i get

i was going to bad at 7AM, so my wife was werry angry with me all the day -> this must be enough for you

I tested all, z270x 5 with Kaby Dual and Quad, z170 Soc with Kaby Dual and Quad.

I have strong RAM Setting with 1900 cl12 1T

But No chance

Please tell use the tweak

Look at the GPU-Z... yep GPU-Z

my run was utter luck was always between 6780ish and 6815ish then this 6865 appeared...

I had 6850+ and 1-2 was 6900+. 5g/5g 1933 tight(at least for my mobo). But according to the 6950+ scores, the less you clock the better you score.

I dont judge anyone but it would be better if we know what we were doing wrong.

GPU mem clocks aid the score apparently, lowering cache too... thx to Splave for revealing their tweaks

damn, i think that gpu doesnt affect anything... and my gpu got extra good ram

Lowering cache ? Guys, iam unnable to get case same as core ratio on 270 g9, still got 200mhz lower than i set in bios and if i try set 50/52 it doesnt boot, is there any cure with this mb ?

you set it from bios or from windows? I thnik giga boots with 200 mhz lower cache. Try set it from gtl

E.g if you boot 5gcore /5g uncore it boots 5g/4.8.

Z270N seems to lock cache to be 200MHz less than core. I have cache set to 50x but get 4800 cache with 5G core and 4600 cache with 4.8G core.

The benchmark is really inconsistent. My 6663 run was pure luck if I fire up the system on the mem settings I used for the 6663 run it scores ~6.5K but sometimes it randomly jumps above 6.6K.

Yes set in bios, but i try set it in XTU, but doing nothing. Didnt try GTL, its possible there ?

How do we make sure that people dont run 5.2ghz for geek bench?

why can i not enter whit this sub ?

skulstation`s Geekbench3 - Multi Core score: 7826 points with a Pentium G3258

if all is ok plys add it to the stage 2.

thx

Thx for info.

If the problem is fixt whil this submission automatic added tot the stage or do i need to re sub it?

Ther is a chanse thad i have no internet acces for some days afther tonight ( provider whil do some updates and othther thins )

Seems we can submit at two pages from the Geekbench developpers... sigh

Are there any operating system restrictions in this comp regarding geek bench running a 4790K as HWBot seem to stipulate one prior to Windows 8 while Sky and Caby Lake can use Window 8, 10.

changed my gtx 760 gpu to a 1070 turbo and gained a big nothing in cpu tests. so how is that ? ( apart from Im stuck at 59 RTL maybe thats capping my eff )

Guys, how properly set RTL on GTB mbs? IT ignores everything i want from IT, still Getting loose 59/60 (asr timing configurator)

I have best RTLs when using 3733 divider, 12-12-12-28 gives me 49-51, tWCL 10 and tCKE 6 set, you can tweak IO RTL to 6

Thanks, but i have a problem set anything, i cant write 50/51 7/7 ets, but after boot into win, it stuck 659/61 etc.. This make me mad.

Thats Giga Big bugs

Maybe thats why they call it March Madness

Add me on messenger mate, talk ya through (I hope)

If someone runs e.g 5030 and in the screenshot "retuns" to 5000 how is it possible to know if he cheats?

I believe we will see a lot of crazy scores.

Thats a Big Problem

Lucky run

Leeghofd told it on previous page, check CPU results.

You can see easily. I have tested it. The first and or second test will be great. And the mem score will be crap

Dont worry the mods will find it.

Can always ask for a video. Should be easy to reproduce. There is good runs but no lucky runs like hwbp.

will share some things at the end if anyone interested

so how do you get Geek Bench 3 to save a validation file? because every time I pressed save or export nothing happened.

Did you buy a license? Maybe saving scores offline is a paid users only feature?

Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Yeah I bought a license. And I did do the File >> Save thing and the app just does nothing when I press save. I guess it might be my win 10 install but everything else works fine. 3Dmark has no problem saving files.

too much OS hacking mate

can we draw the rig pictures next time

thanks for your hard work and congrats guys good comp

Congrats to all. Thx gigabyte for this competition.

I did have a lot of fun and a bit stres.

Hope to meet you all in the next round.

Thx Gigabyte for the compo. Congratz to all. To be honest had some short nites due to this compo. Great stuff by everybody. OCing is not dead!!

Nice x265 Old tymer

lucky draw winners ?

no idea? sounds awful

I thought you pick the lucky draw winners.But I can ask them

OMG I just asked and it turns out I won alllll the lucky draws as well
