Yehaaaa!

July 15, 2014 at 10:00:58 AM UTC

Really this wallpaper is epic fail, I mean for all regions the same only text is different which you can cover with gpu-z/cpu-z superpi32m or 3dmark/heaven window

 

yeah :D

July 15, 2014 at 5:15:48 PM UTC

That's it...could be tricky with 3d03 :D

August 1, 2014 at 12:05:16 PM UTC

EMEA never disappoints :D

 

are you playing Perica?

August 1, 2014 at 6:34:20 PM UTC

I hope so, ordered equipment, and will start 5th of august to produce some scores.... :)

 

August 2, 2014 at 3:43:37 AM UTC

High level EMEA competition.

August 2, 2014 at 6:35:19 AM UTC

Yes very high Level, good luck to all :)

August 2, 2014 at 8:02:45 AM UTC

Crazy Hugh level ! Top 6 will be very hard to reach!

August 5, 2014 at 7:35:53 PM UTC

Emea just get wow :ws:

Zzolio drops first bomb :D

August 5, 2014 at 7:48:33 PM UTC

You still expect to qualify? :D

August 6, 2014 at 12:04:00 PM UTC

So, where is bomb from Poland? xD)

August 6, 2014 at 1:19:55 PM UTC

Already been lots of explosions in Poland. Few boards and CPU already blown up, lol.

Where I can buy 3dmark03 serial?

August 8, 2014 at 9:42:26 AM UTC

I have an original serial to validate

August 11, 2014 at 6:32:42 PM UTC

4 days to go !! how are all the flood preparations coming on? or are there really only 8 people playing this year in EMEA?

August 12, 2014 at 1:09:49 AM UTC

trying to upload heaven result but get the data error "invalid checksum"

 

How to solve it ??

August 12, 2014 at 1:58:27 AM UTC

I believe the people that looks for the best scores, and think thaat's spend time to compete against crazy scores... then the most of people don't join the competition (and sure.. to be mandatory to use MSI parts also helps).

August 12, 2014 at 11:58:27 AM UTC

trying to upload heaven result but get the data error "invalid checksum"

 

How to solve it ??

 

try to use english regional settings (in control panel) while benching heaven

August 13, 2014 at 9:17:04 PM UTC

Hi all! 'm really glad that MSI continues strong efforts with MOA.

EMEA is the hardest one as usual -) Will try my best till 've got the HW recently and can't just do nothing with that despite all the troubles around.

August 13, 2014 at 9:21:50 PM UTC

Nice start, Cyclone. Good CPU ;-)

August 13, 2014 at 9:22:25 PM UTC

Didn't expect such a close battle in 32M. Five people already at 4min46 or lower and few more sandbagging...

August 13, 2014 at 9:23:57 PM UTC

it's the first time i seem to be lucky with a randome retail cpu for oc purposes. but it won't be enough for sure.

August 13, 2014 at 11:30:37 PM UTC

its going to be an interesting last 1.5 days! Nice find on that CPU :)

August 14, 2014 at 7:24:56 PM UTC

So, OK. AM -> easy. EMEA -> bad luck for me & no chance without good CPU and a lot of ln2. I was happy to take a part of MOA qual. Will see APAC level. Good luck to all.

I cant forget 8pack!

August 15, 2014 at 7:23:07 PM UTC

8pack is doing something else at MOA Ronaldo... XA is flirting with the stability of the HWBot servers

August 15, 2014 at 7:25:25 PM UTC

so 8pack will not participate?

August 15, 2014 at 7:33:30 PM UTC

Congrats to all participants for great battle, there was many epic scores, and as hard as hell...

August 15, 2014 at 8:10:40 PM UTC

EMEA is really strong this year. To put things into perspective, top AM scores would get 7+10+11 pts only and barely finish in the top 10 :D

Good job, all of the participants.

August 15, 2014 at 8:14:21 PM UTC

Congrat to the winner, lots of sick scores!!!! congrat to all of u ocer of this part of the world!

August 15, 2014 at 8:14:43 PM UTC

Very well done guys. Congratulations to everybody who made it. Well deserved!

August 15, 2014 at 8:17:17 PM UTC

My MOA EMEA NUKE FAIL

 

Went out to grab a beer and stayed too long in shop and forgot to publish my best SuperPI result. Fastest SuperPI 32M on MSI board ever

 

All because of this guy in left corner of screenshot

 

Beer power FTW!

Emea is strong every year actually!

#blessedintheUS

 

 

At least no-one in America's cheated! Haha too soon?

 

 

 

On a real note though, great job guys very very epic scores in the top 6 should be a great group of guys at the final!

Sick EMEA qualifiers! Congratz to all! Crazyy scores!!

August 16, 2014 at 3:39:40 AM UTC

The scores of EMEA Qualifiers always leave me speechless everytime, you guys ROCKS! Keep Pushin' it ;) ;)

August 16, 2014 at 6:41:36 AM UTC

Great work EMEA, always a blast watching you guys work :)

August 16, 2014 at 7:23:33 AM UTC

We went over the scores last night and had to pull two submissions so far:

 

- Don Corleone's 3DMark03 is missing the right verification link

- Cyclone's SuperPI 32M verification screenshot was photochopped

 

The rankings are recalculated but not final yet. Keep you updated!

August 16, 2014 at 7:56:28 AM UTC

Very sad about Don Corleone.

August 16, 2014 at 7:58:39 AM UTC

Wtf photoshop in competitions :(

August 16, 2014 at 8:00:36 AM UTC

It looks like it's just the Xtream Team logo which screwed the screenshot a little. But since it has not been submitted to the contest it doesnt matter anyway.

August 16, 2014 at 8:02:58 AM UTC

To quote myself:

 

Result removed from contest and blocked. Not ran at default settings. Tesselation has been disabled inside the benchmark.

August 16, 2014 at 9:34:17 AM UTC

Result removed from contest and blocked. Not ran at default settings. Tesselation has been disabled inside the benchmark.

 

To avoid the same mistakes, can you explain more about this man?

I mean, tesselation can be disabled with the driver settings, and it is allowed here in hwbot. How can you disable tesselation 'inside the benchmark', and how is it different than the usual driver tweak?

 

Thanks :)

August 16, 2014 at 9:43:26 AM UTC

I think we already spent more time than sificiente to allow turning off the tesselation one the benchmark's .... today we have the validations to check it... so it has advantage for amd never quite figured out which the relationship with the hwbot amd to allow that to happen !!! Excuse my conversation a bit off topic ... but I honestly do not understand why!!! Because that on futurmark we have two diferente ranking´s....

August 16, 2014 at 9:45:25 AM UTC

Messing with test settings is not allowed, simple as that....Driver tessellation you can turn of...

It's allowed to disable tesselation in the AMD driver but not to disable tesselation in the benchmark itself. The result was not done at default settings which is the reason for the result-block.

 

There is no way this happens by accident so unless you are disabling the tesselation manually everything is fine. You don't have to worry. If you apply a "tweak" to disable tesselation of the benchmark your result will be blocked.

C'mon Hwbot, make it on who goes Moa :nana:

August 16, 2014 at 1:28:19 PM UTC

Please contact Christian Ney, he will explain everything to you. I don't think we should have this discussion in public.

August 16, 2014 at 1:38:18 PM UTC

I just sent you a private message with further information on the Unigine issue.

As for the 03 issue, I already gave you all details via PM and facebook.

August 16, 2014 at 2:21:56 PM UTC

Well i hope Hwbot staff doing good checking scores here :)

August 16, 2014 at 2:22:13 PM UTC

I don't understand how people at this level resort to cheating in order to get into the tournament :(

 

Edit : If needs be I'll happily take a ticket if there is one going ;)

August 16, 2014 at 2:56:07 PM UTC

Damn !

August 16, 2014 at 3:47:49 PM UTC

Maybe ban them for a period of time in next competitions?cheating is good to no one,and in other areas is greatly punished....

August 16, 2014 at 4:13:58 PM UTC

Why hide the discussion from the public? I'd like to hear argumented explanation as to why two Corleone's submissions were pulled.

August 16, 2014 at 4:19:26 PM UTC

Banning guys for live when cheating!!! :(

August 16, 2014 at 4:26:05 PM UTC

I could say the same thing for many PCMark scores. Why jumping to conclusions so fast? What you are all doing is a mob lynch and appear to be fueled by butt-hurt.

August 16, 2014 at 4:37:48 PM UTC

The explanation was given in public already, I believe.

 

The 3DMark03 is not valid because the validation link is lacking. This is the same issue Rbuass and Gunslinger ran in to. The Unigine Heaven was blocked because the benchmark settings were altered so the benchmark was not run at default settings. From what I see in the staff section, it seems this was an accident more than a deliberate attempt at faul play.

please read it:

 

Why you dont want to give me a time to defend my score?

Everyone (Including hwbot staff that created this benchmark app) knows that changing a setting cause benchmark not to give any score. So how did i do this???? If i can do, why nobody do not make results with changed settings? Hwbot admins, can you produce a result by changing setting??? Is it really easy to remove someones score? An score that i worked so much that you think. I must be the victim of your programming and codding errors????

 

I will produce a movie for you and upload it here that everyone can see that i have not (and i cant really) change any settings. I HAVE NOT CHANGED ANY SETTINGS OF YOUR BENCHMARK

Also, tesseletion is off from ccc. So what is the difference? You disable tesselation from ccc and change it from any game or app. Does it effect score??

 

Edit:

HWbot moderator Olesius was there. Why you dont ask him how i ran heaven?

 

I love this part:

 

I must be the victim of your programming and codding errors????

August 16, 2014 at 4:55:19 PM UTC

I ask others:

 

can you change setting in Unigine Heaven, run and get score??? or disable tesseleation in benchmark and get score???

August 16, 2014 at 5:04:57 PM UTC

IMO, even if a benchmark does produce bugged results once in a while, it is still your fault if you have been waiting til the last minute and/or uploaded only one score. In case there is anything wrong with this score, you simply have no time to react and end up empty-handed.

August 16, 2014 at 5:21:44 PM UTC

I ask others:

 

can you change setting in Unigine Heaven, run and get score??? or disable tesseleation in benchmark and get score???

 

Yes it's possible to do that. However I will not explain how to do it exactly obviously.

 

We can check in the database if somebody used this bug to disable tesselation. Since everybody is requesting more details:

The result data contains all stuff like system data, benchmark and score details and so on. One little part is "d3d11_render_use_tessellation 1" which indicates the tesselation of the benchmark (not the tesselation of the driver!). In this case the detail was "d3d11_render_use_tessellation 0". So the tesselation of the benchmark was disabled which is a similar thing to change the resolution of the benchmark (not default settings).

 

Don't get me wrong please! I'm not saying that he did it on purpose. Even if this happened by mistake or bug of the benchmark it would not be a run at default settings.

 

The reason for the block would just change from "not ran at default settings" to "impossible score at given settings, possible bug or other". The result would be the same.

We checked the unigine heaven score of all other submissions and all of them had tesselation enabled in the benchmark.

If it was bugged it would be the same result like for example the black level scores of 3DMark03. Not caused by the user but in the end still not valid.

 

Keep in mind that this is just the issue about the unigine heaven result. Like Massman explained already the 03 result does not have a valid link. We had this issue several times now during the qualifier and we cannot accept the result without a valid link. Futuremark just "confirmed" it via email that the result could be valid but they can't provide a link. It was clearly written in the rules that you have to be careful with the systeminfo and provide a valid link. Since the competition is over we also can't accept valid and lower scores which have not been submitted to the competition in time.

 

Just my personal point of view:

This is also a result of sandbagging. If these scores were submitted few days ago we could've looked into it and maybe helped you to get a valid score in time. Few minutes before the competition was over this is impossible. I'm really sorry this happened to you and can understand that you must be very disappointed and angry but since we are talking about a ticket to MOA with a lot of money involved we can't do any exceptions when it comes to the rules. I hope you understand that.

 

I hope this is enough explanation for you guys.

August 16, 2014 at 5:25:30 PM UTC

it is not my asnwer.

scores were not only one and it`s our business time of submit a score.

August 16, 2014 at 5:43:42 PM UTC

Thanks for the explanation, Roman. I agree with both yours- and Sam's conclusion that sandbagging led to this. I was just repulsed by other respected veteran overclockers on how easy they throw a 'cheater' accusation around.

August 16, 2014 at 5:55:49 PM UTC

Stop talking on pcmark!!!!!!!!!!

This here is other Level ;)

And shure i can say enough for pcmark......

August 16, 2014 at 6:14:35 PM UTC

Please do not mix up the case of cyclone with your case! Nobody said you were cheating. This does not apply to your case at all.

August 16, 2014 at 6:17:02 PM UTC

I dont call you cheater mate!!! I also dont see on my own Cyclone cheat 32m ;)

August 16, 2014 at 6:29:37 PM UTC

I am still insisting that both my results are valid. And that ####ing 03 could not detect my systeminfo version. I have a video and i will upload it here (sry but my internet is limited at around 128K) that shows even by installing a 4.29 system info it says your system info is old! So what i could do? The stupid benchmark does not detect system info 4.29 and detect it as 3.7. What is my fault here?

 

I think you are using an old version of the 3DMark03 benchmark which may have integrated SI and/or isn't compatible with the latest SI.

Make sure you are also using the latest 3DMark 03 version which is something like 3.60v1901.

 

EDIT: close enough, it's v360.1901

August 16, 2014 at 6:31:04 PM UTC

Since I gave up on class B with my weak cpu, I had nothing to do but watch the show in EMEA A and class B.

 

I believe the Iranian guys didn't do that on purpose, but in the end both results are not valid in terms of defined rules.

Not sure about UH, but it doesn't matter if it as a bug or done on purpose - still not a valid score. Well, it matters to some extent, because if it was done on purpose the user deserves some kind of punishment, but in both cases the result needs to be removed.

 

For 3DMark 03, even if it is completely valid, the missing validation link renders it invalid for the competition. So it doesn't matter if you provide all the proof in the world. Rules are rules.

 

Now, if you didn't count on sandbagging and had uploaded some lower, but valid scores earlier, you could still get to the finals when your top scores get removed. And if these placeholder scores were not valid, people would report them earlier and you would have had time to correct these flaws. You got screwed by the sandbagging.

 

Just my 5c.

 

About cyclone: I didn't pay attention to the screenshot and now it's gone, but it's really disappointing to see such thing from a respected overclocker. Don't know what he was thinking...

We all know what is he capable of. When you don't have a good hardware to compete, just give up and save your good reputation. That's a shame if true :(.

 

I still would like to see that screenshot though.

It is not none of my business and personally I didn't meet Mr. Don Corleone at all and we are not even talk too each other any time and some guys in Iran think even we are enemy !!! But I have to say he is a respective OverClocker in Iran and I think calling him cheater is a shame.

 

From what I see in the staff section, it seems this was an accident more than a deliberate attempt at faul play.

 

Nobody said you were cheating. This does not apply to your case at all.

 

Pieter do you remember in past MOAs what was HWBOT action about suspicious results??? I won't name but I actually remember you ask them for rebench after competition closed(Like two Brazilian OCers) !!!

So if you really think that there was not any purpose and cheating why don't you let him rebench and give him another try on that 2 benches ? Won't that be more fair like what you've done in past?

August 16, 2014 at 6:49:23 PM UTC

That was a different situation, Poorya. In the situation you are referring to, there was no question about the validity of the scores.

 

//edit.

 

The situation with the scores is clear. For the 3DMark03 score the link is missing and for the Unigine Heaven we can see in the log files that it was not ran at default settings. There's no doubt that the 3DMark03 is a fully legit score, but the competition requires specifically a valid verification link. I feel your pain, but these are just the rules :(.

August 16, 2014 at 6:59:26 PM UTC

It's always good to make some early submissions in the competition to make sure your scores are valid and the validations work before you are disappointed in the last five minutes. don corleon matrix rnd had truly awesome overclocks on the GPU, it's a pity the submissions were a bit wishy washy, hopefully see them next time fully prepared!

August 16, 2014 at 7:30:27 PM UTC

When I first saw your score I was really excited that someone from Iran would make it to MOA. I have a lot of respect for what you guys manage to do over there. However we have to be strict with the rules and apply the same to everyone.

Same goes to the rule about a live rebench. We only requested that in the past if the results were valid but either suspicious or hardware sharing involved. In your case the results are not valid so there is nothing we can do. Belive me I'm really sorry about that.

 

Edit: I recall: Tesselation tweaking is related to the driver tesselation. It has never been allowed to change the benchmark itself. That's why you see "use default settings" on top of the rules.

August 16, 2014 at 7:42:49 PM UTC

Before submitting my results in final hour my team mates told me that they (hwbot staff) will be against your score and now i see they were right.

 

This point right here doesn't really sit well. Why would someone think that people would be against "totally valid" scores? For someone to think that, they must either know something is wrong, be it deliberately or inadvertently. All experienced overclockers should have an idea of what scores you should get at given clocks. When a score seems out of line, any experienced person should know it. With that being said, anyone that has been keeping up with unigine heaven lately or that has been following the MOA qualifiers would know that the older 13.11 drivers don't score as well as the newer 14.6 drivers. It seems that at some point, someone realized that the score was off and that people would question it's validity, which is what ended up happening.

 

Don't get me wrong, the clocks were amazing and had that result been done with 14.6 drivers or newer, I don't think anyone would have questioned it.

August 16, 2014 at 7:59:12 PM UTC

Thanks for the explanation, Roman. I agree with both yours- and Sam's conclusion that sandbagging led to this. I was just repulsed by other respected veteran overclockers on how easy they throw a 'cheater' accusation around.

 

Just a little note. Like what tiborrr said never call anyone cheater so easily.

I am so sorry for some overclockers that calling me a cheater. Just remember that i was in hwbot before some of you even know about hwbot.

And i sorry for hwbot staff that before asking me a live stream or anything like it, removed my results and letting others think i am a cheater. Thank you...

 

I am still insisting that both my results are valid. And that ####ing 03 could not detect my systeminfo version. I have a video and i will upload it here (sry but my internet is limited at around 128K) that shows even by installing a 4.29 system info it says your system info is old! So what i could do? The stupid benchmark does not detect system info 4.29 and detect it as 3.7. What is my fault here?

 

Please do not mix up the case of cyclone with your case! Nobody said you were cheating. This does not apply to your case at all.

 

 

Just so that we're clear, I wasn't accusing Don since I didn't know the situation clearly, however photoshopping is clear manipulation and is definite cheating. If the result is clearly photoshopped and was trying to deceivingly gain an advantage then the user should be banned from competitions for a specific amount of time which would be discussed by the admins, I would personally say they should forget about MOA 2015 if that's true.

 

Not trying to start a lynch mob just trying to point out what should be clear.

thank you all who Understanding specially Poorya :)

Mike: there is no very different between 13.1 and 14.6 at least for us! it`s not good reason.

That was a different situation, Poorya. In the situation you are referring to, there was no question about the validity of the scores.

I`m sorry but i can only say this different situation is because of our country. It`s OK, OC WW added to it

I try but can`t forget and will not forget what you do in last years, you exactly know my mean. I thought after meeting between you and corleone in EMEA 2011 you rly changed!

you are Hwbot Administrator and know very well Corleone don`t use any Disallowed tweaks such:

 

Mipmap

Any software or human interaction altering the perceived speed of the benchmark program, tricking it to believe it ran faster

Wireframe hacks: any software or driver causing a benchmark program not (properly) render the textures

Rendered image differs too much from the original due to other software tweaking

 

last words:

it over of us but "PLEASE" for next year choose correct benchmark like 3DM fire strike or 3DM11 that have good validition with out problem not your benchmark with a lot of bug! same about cpu..... spi now has 20 years old and have not valid!

I Hope you Guys never have Experience of OC with same situation in Iran, "but it`s my biggest honor that Iran with all of problems is rock standing at #11 in Country League, in other hands my Nationality should be my proude and another causes is Hiwa Great Persian originally overclocker"

 

this is World Wide Overclocking League and Iran has no place there! OK I accept it like Don

 

Good Luck all in Grand Final :)

I'm really confused and maybe it's because I'm still quite new around here, but what is all this talk about the OC scene being against Iran?

 

As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter where you're from, we all have the same rules, we all compete in the same league so we all get treated the same?

 

If this isn't the case then I'd like an explanation as to why this is.

August 16, 2014 at 9:41:07 PM UTC

You Persian guys are rock, if you had half of support we have you were all in top 5... Shame on that stupid government.

Hope you guys never stop overclocking and I really hope to see you in top all the time, hwbot is not the only place to show your best.

I know all adminds here.. They are good people and they try to help ocers don't be mad on them.

August 16, 2014 at 9:53:43 PM UTC

ObscurePradix you are right. It is NOT against any countries or people but a matter of rules. I think there is a misbelief rhregarding previous events and a confusion was made.

 

Anyhow rules are rules and hwbot judges and cinpetituon judges are independant in their jidge role.

Rules are rules and MSI is making them, in accordance with hwvot (to my understanding).

 

In the end it is only aboit a rule that this came to a score being unauthorised. As said sometimes it is buggy run but rules are quite mature nowdays : "run at default settings" was one of them.

 

Also conpetition are worldwide and the dimension of personal perspective or country gdp, ease of acces etc doesn't play into this.. because it is way too subjective.

 

I'm sad too to not see a middles east ocer but well.. same a we dont see any swedish, or talian (even if many particpate)

 

Hope tgis case is understood correctly. :)

August 16, 2014 at 10:12:34 PM UTC

I don´t understand why all the confusion.... what´s hapen in gunslinger score from MOA AM, now it´s the same!!! Same problem same solution in 3dmark03 score... on heaven don´t use default setting no dob´s!!

August 16, 2014 at 10:36:19 PM UTC

Very bad/sad situation :(

August 17, 2014 at 11:30:44 AM UTC

Ok.. the reason I gave to the staff seems to be the most common one may think about, so let it 'be'. 've got quite predictable feedback way as a piece of a puzzle for myself. Time to re-build some relations till 2014 is my huge personal checkpoint.

 

I'm really sorry for making troubles here inside the community but I'm also happy about HWBOT team carefully inspecting the results at least for validity. With no argues to the staff, no regret from my side and without silly disproof attempts. I knew what I was doing and I believe it was necessary.

Don't dramatize the situation.. better look on it within a different point and think a bit.

My reputation has been built for years, tons of money and took a huge piece of my life. Ppl especially in Ukraine can tell more. It is considered to be priceless and not worthy just a single MOA ticket or a free HW bundle that can be sold afterwards. If it is damaged hard now in your eyes - no problems, it's up to you guys and this is understandable.

 

Prolly we'll talk more somewhen.

Okay I'm going down to a well-deserved ban now. Good luck!

August 17, 2014 at 1:07:27 PM UTC

No remorse. Very interesting angle for sure

August 17, 2014 at 1:12:35 PM UTC

I forgive you cyclone, hope to see you smashing gpu scores with those massive ukraine clocks you always got! (But with a validation file ofcourse, haha joke!)

Gooodluck with life man

August 17, 2014 at 1:40:38 PM UTC

zero remorse for an action that could have put genuine people out of the competition all together if it wasn't spotted.

 

Very unimpressed and have zero respect for an answer like that.

August 17, 2014 at 2:19:39 PM UTC

No one can get passed christian ney. Even my mom was super impressed when i told her about it

August 17, 2014 at 2:50:26 PM UTC

Has anyone got a picture of the validation at all. I'd be curious to see where it was they caught out the photoshopping since I've not seen the image myself.

August 17, 2014 at 3:30:41 PM UTC

No, they are evidence :D

 

It's classified.

August 17, 2014 at 3:34:21 PM UTC

checksum was wrong as well ;)

August 17, 2014 at 3:36:52 PM UTC

checksum was wrong as well ;)

 

I imagined that was the way they found out in the first place but was just curious really.

August 17, 2014 at 3:37:55 PM UTC

Ney is a beast :) lurking in the dark

August 17, 2014 at 3:56:54 PM UTC

Well when are the finals :) have to ask my Boss for holiday :D

August 17, 2014 at 4:10:05 PM UTC
