You'd rather have 2 weeks of benching time ?

Hey guys, a heads up for the XTU scores. In addition to the existing rules, you must also enable the frequency monitoring and use the latest version. You can download the latest version here: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=24075&lang=eng

September 1, 2014 at 6:26:49 AM UTC

Just to clarify the situation, we are looking at the logs to see if we can find any entry showing Uncle Fester submitting before the submission deadline.

 

The current ranking is therefore preliminary

why dont we have to show our memory serials in image?

September 9, 2014 at 2:45:27 PM UTC

I think because there is no restriction on IC this year. anything go's as long as it is HyperX

September 9, 2014 at 2:54:24 PM UTC

I think because there is no restriction on IC this year. anything go's as long as it is HyperX

 

i think it was to prevent sharing and spd flashing last year.

September 9, 2014 at 3:41:47 PM UTC

i think it was to prevent sharing and spd flashing last year.

 

and this year? :eek:

September 15, 2014 at 6:20:57 PM UTC

weekly prize, gratz stratogossan and 8pack.

 

 

September 15, 2014 at 6:43:33 PM UTC

Making the 8-pack tweak public. Tweak: actual memory picture not required by contest rules.

Happy flashing :)

September 19, 2014 at 1:14:32 PM UTC

Kingston slipped up on that rule, we really need it

September 19, 2014 at 1:18:12 PM UTC

Too late now :)

September 19, 2014 at 1:22:58 PM UTC

why you give 1600c9 SPD no one will believe good clocking from that kit

September 19, 2014 at 1:32:03 PM UTC

LOL, you talk about believable in a Kingston contest? :D

 

1600C9 is actually for advanced people. Some of the kits were made with BDBG and some of the kits used same PCB as "the other RAM maker".

September 19, 2014 at 1:34:53 PM UTC

I saw 1600c9 Gskill do 2660 6-9-6 at wc on computex, so what´s the problem? Mems were retail, approved by judges :)

September 19, 2014 at 1:43:56 PM UTC

Popcorn time

September 19, 2014 at 1:56:45 PM UTC

The rule was not set at the beginning of the competition so we can't/won't add it now. Doesn't make sense now that only 1,5 weeks is left.

September 19, 2014 at 2:01:36 PM UTC

The rule was not set at the beginning of the competition so we can't/won't add it now. Doesn't make sense now that only 1,5 weeks is left.

 

the rule doesn't effect benching though, its not like change in benchmark version and someone has to re-bench. its additional photo verification which is totally acceptable i think, get people to show serials that match to the spd in their screenshot. if you are 100% legit why would you have a problem with it, just take picture and go to vegas!

September 19, 2014 at 2:03:02 PM UTC

"I already sold the kit and never took pictures because that was not required"

These are Kingston values, with psc :) - I had a kit that did 1200 7-11-8-28 1,66v 32m air, 1250+ c6 on cold is no big hurdle for these, I see no reason to have doubts as the SPD, the picture and the result match perfectly

you ask people to rebench on skype but you can't ask them for a picture of their memory?

September 19, 2014 at 9:52:52 PM UTC

We're currently discussing this again. It's just complicated to change the rules during a competition if we want to stay 100% fair. Will let you know once there is a final decision.

I'm not really competing for the top scores ....

Got thse value ram with PSC IC and joined for fun.

Websmile already gave you a crystal clear answer.....

And it is crystal clear that you don't have a lot of experience in RAM binning and RAM IC .....

September 19, 2014 at 10:25:21 PM UTC

you ask people to rebench on skype but you can't ask them for a picture of their memory?

 

In addition to that, how will anyone know if that is actually the memory that was benched that gets photographed. that is the other issue

 

suspect scores need third party verification almost, going to get complicated...

September 19, 2014 at 11:19:17 PM UTC

SPD have Serial number ......

September 20, 2014 at 7:29:59 AM UTC

is SPD flashing allowed in this competition ???

 

Not allowed

September 20, 2014 at 10:19:28 AM UTC

(Chanted with a yorkshire accent at a football match) Hes not number one ............ Hes not number one........Hes Tapakah and hes not number 1 and that's the bottom line because 8 Pack said so!! ;)

 

Marmott this is two sticks from the several mostly working RMA sticks that I got when I started working at OC UK. Several months even before first HOT comp.

September 20, 2014 at 10:21:17 AM UTC

To add and clarify I saw many others posting random heatspreaders here and there so I added a pic knowing it was not a requirement of the only stick I never removed IHS from many moons ago. Why because its DOA.

September 20, 2014 at 10:27:11 AM UTC

The rule was to show a picture of the heatspreader last year and nothing this year prevents us to ask for the same thing at the moderators discretion.

 

Last year there was no issue so why all of a sudden this year there should be? Same for the LATAM and APAC qualifier this year, everything went okay.

 

I feel a lot of it is personal and has nothing to do here. Now I will let the HWBOT moderators do their job, they've proven in the past they are more than capable.

 

We will clarify the rules for the NA qualifier.

September 20, 2014 at 2:09:47 PM UTC

The rules are to use Kingston memory. Whether or not it is directly stipulated in the rules, why would they not be able to request proof of that? If there is any doubt, Kingston and hwbot should be able to request for any reasonable information necessary to remove that doubt. Not rocket science.

September 20, 2014 at 2:12:26 PM UTC

 

Really? That's from 2008!!

 

How is it even remotely related to a contest qualifier taking place 6 years later?

 

Ahahaha

My friend, you cannot understand my order!

I said, is this a memory (Kingston HyperX) ?

While it is said that in the contest rules, must get used to KingstonHyperX memory.

Please, about people,don't judge quickly.!?!

Good luck my friend

===================

 

My memory is KingstoneHyperXFury(1866MHz)

With the chip used AS AFR (bad chip). :(

September 20, 2014 at 9:04:21 PM UTC

from the rules page:

 

Brand restrictions

 

Kingston Technology and HyperX for the memory.

33936mb/s in picture but he submited 34137mb/s

 

as i remember by following ruls his submition must be removed or edit to 33936

 

---------------------------------------------------------

 

what is going on here ???? you think im Stupid and can't see what's he doing ???? !!!!

 

why he Removed his last XTU sumbition ????

 

http://hwbot.org/submission/2639691

September 29, 2014 at 6:17:46 PM UTC

I think its not good when people not submit scores to get an friend qualified :) Just my opinion.

September 29, 2014 at 6:18:20 PM UTC

8 Pack's XTU wasn't valid cause he forgot to put background, that's why score was removed

September 29, 2014 at 6:19:30 PM UTC

I mean that he did not submit his 32m, only after contest.

September 29, 2014 at 6:22:08 PM UTC

and what about this one ???

 

he removed this super pi too

 

http://hwbot.org/submission/2638150

September 29, 2014 at 6:32:56 PM UTC

I really appreciate you iranian guys but if there is one thing to learn from this sport is that it is like evert sport on planet.If you are within rules then fairplay is not necesary.As far as i know each participant can submit and remove his submission by free will,there is nothing to be done against that.

If you don;t like it then don;t participate.Justice?How do you define justice in this game?

 

Really great maxxmem submission from varand!

September 29, 2014 at 6:37:18 PM UTC

8pack maxx mem score mis match with picture

September 29, 2014 at 6:49:46 PM UTC

The first thing that comes to my mind is the World Cup games where both teams tied and they went together in next phase of the competition.Same here.

September 29, 2014 at 6:54:13 PM UTC

I see wrong score at 8 packs maxmem - screen shows 33936 - two points less at the score board, he is out, what´s the problem?

September 29, 2014 at 7:02:21 PM UTC

I see wrong score at 8 packs maxmem - screen shows 33936 - three points less at the score board, he is out, what´s the problem?
Two points, perica_barii moves to 2nd (18pts, doesn't matter for his final position), 8pack is 3rd (16pts). Still minus 2pts for 8pack so he's out, varand is in :)

September 29, 2014 at 7:05:04 PM UTC

You are right, already corrected my mistake, result still is the same and excatly what you wrote

September 29, 2014 at 7:22:28 PM UTC

Normally, when entered value for submitted score is incorrect, it is corrected by a moderator to represent the score submitted.

There isn't any verificational issue (as far as I can see) so no additional screenshots after competition has ended should be accepted.

September 29, 2014 at 7:22:45 PM UTC

As we know, the hwbot is very well known for clarity in their judging, and holding best competitions in the field.

Unfortunately, last match was unfair, and two of the members ( vivi, 8pack) have submitted manipulated test results. We can provide you with the documents clearly showing their cheating in this match.

We would really appreciate hwbot administrators if they follow our complaint.

Also 8pack's maxxmem score was mismatch with the screenshot and clearly he's out

 

With best regards,

September 29, 2014 at 7:39:32 PM UTC

Admins all over the world are looking into it guys, keep it civilized and await the final decision...

 

some impressive scores submitted here, nice one Varandi great tweaking there man :ws:

Please wait until scores are checked and confirmed (by Mr. Head-of-the-Moderation-Ney)

 

I have to read all the stuff here first.

 

 

edit: Just on a note: It might not be the best sportsmanship but it's legal to remove scores during the competition. It's always your own choice to delete results.

September 29, 2014 at 7:52:09 PM UTC

Shouldn't you be doing a 5.5 uncore screenshot in the meantime Max ?

September 29, 2014 at 8:00:32 PM UTC

thought I posted it but turns out I posted the 3.75ghz one by accident

I agree too Dear Roman

 

We do Overclocking, just to enjoy it! we like it!

maybe rules do not say anything about Fair play, but as i think any one should respect it!

September 29, 2014 at 8:10:36 PM UTC

hi

i am sorry for guys who manipulated results in last minuts that only varand (iranian) be out of top 3, such a weak!

any way I really want to see this words from hwbot adminastators again: "rules are rules" because if rules are rules, 8Pack is out because of worng screen shot and can not be edit after competition as hwbot adminastators said before.

 

that`s it!

September 29, 2014 at 8:16:36 PM UTC

Awesome score varand you are the only winner man, with one mfr kit you showed your skill, very very well done dude.

Mehdi, varand, pejman and other Persian guys just wait and stay calm till these guys do the job and check the s ores, everything is clear but maybe they are checking something else and needs more time.

September 29, 2014 at 9:10:28 PM UTC

Agreed, incredible work with limited to no resources

September 29, 2014 at 9:27:01 PM UTC

There most definitely was a picture up before, wonder when it got removed?

 

 

LoL

September 30, 2014 at 4:04:26 AM UTC

Lam, that doesn't mean much, there could be many reasons there or even different memory kit.

my mems were pretty stuffed by the time I got around to XTU, plus board issues. So I think that statement is pointless.

September 30, 2014 at 2:32:13 PM UTC

I'm preparing a news post, so I have two questions:

 

1. Are results final and approved?

2. Which prizes will get the top-3 winners after qualification round?

September 30, 2014 at 2:49:08 PM UTC

No. Like I posted before please wait until Christian Ney confirms the results.

congtz varand...You are the best dude

September 30, 2014 at 8:08:16 PM UTC

@iranians, i know you are all furious at me and throwing words around like "cheater" and "disrespectful". I was in a position where i was able to get my friends to help me. As i can see in this thread you guys are a great and strong bunch of friends. So you know how it is to be supported by your allies. Your maxmemm is totally godlike no one can take that away from you. Much respect.

 

@friends, as most of you know this has been eating me up inside and feel terrible, it was bad sportsmans ship from my side.

 

Sincerest apologies to the iranians, community, hyperX and Hwbot

September 30, 2014 at 10:11:02 PM UTC

@Vivi :

Every one is agree, this is not "fair", but this is not cheating... all your submissions are legit, and there is A BIG difference between "don't be fair one time", and be a cheater...

 

So don't worry bro, we all have weakness, we are human....

And as far as I know, you are probably one of the most fairplay guy around there.

You trying to help other guy, even in contest, you share knowledge...

We can't forget years of righteousness (this word really exist :D ?) for only one "bad choice".

 

October 1, 2014 at 8:46:32 AM UTC

Thanks wiz!

 

The actions i took were not right so i will do my best to try rectify it and pull out of the competition. Goodluck to all competitors especially varand!

October 1, 2014 at 9:19:18 AM UTC

Yup, making work of that ASAP :up:

October 1, 2014 at 9:25:12 AM UTC

Goddy you accpet your mistake and admit to it! you are a real man :)

 

 

Fairplay should be above all rules. If necessary, you should define it and add to the rules page.

 

absolutely right! I think many people like me are agree

October 1, 2014 at 7:37:18 PM UTC

It takes a true man to do what you did there Vivi... Hopefully this a lesson for all of us...

October 1, 2014 at 9:15:35 PM UTC

One word Vivi : Respect.

I wish some other "big guys" had that kind of conscious and balls to admit and stop their dirty playing.

October 2, 2014 at 2:09:19 AM UTC

So Vivi makes the tough decision for everyone in the end....Good guy Vivi

October 2, 2014 at 5:50:57 AM UTC

Its not a tough decision, its the right thing to do!

October 2, 2014 at 8:15:37 AM UTC

Vivi didn't exactly go twisting people's arms to do that sort of thing. By pulling out, he is saying he is the main person responsible and i think that is bigbunnyextraction so it is a tough decision also as he wasn't the main culprit here....

October 10, 2014 at 1:18:20 PM UTC

From Kingston tracking code has not been sent.

Good luck.

November 25, 2014 at 10:57:32 AM UTC

We are still working on it, it's not particularly easy to deal with Iran being a US based company.

 

But you are not forgotten don't worry.

We are still working on it, it's not particularly easy to deal with Iran being a US based company.

 

But you are not forgotten don't worry.

 

Good day

Thank you my friend.

Hopefully I get a prize.

Is possible that the prizes will be sent to Canada?

Then sent to Iran .

Also ...

Or the prize will be sent from Taiwan to Iran?

I mean Kingston department in Taiwan.

 

Good luck
