Welcome to the Novice Nimble! Via the Rookie Rumble you’re now familiar with competitions at HWBOT and OC-ESPORTS. Now it's time to learn about team work. Find an overclocking team, motivate two other Novices and enjoy the Novice Nimble!
There are five stages in the Novice Nimble. Each of the stages requires combining 3 scores to form a team average. The team with the best average gathers the most points. In addition to the benchmarks we know from the Rookie Rumble, you will also have to compete in two 3D stages. To win, you will need good overclocking skills but most importantly a strong and cohesive team. Check out the stage tabs to find out the hardware and benchmark requirements. Good luck!
The Novice Nimble is based on the concept of the Country Cup competition series. To move up the rankings, you need to improve your team’s best-of-three average in each stage. It is up to you and your team members to determine the best strategy. Our engine is not doing the work for you! So you need to find out who takes on which particular challenge in the stages.
As a general rule of thumb, it’s good to assign members to specific hardware for each stage. Individuals trying to compete with all the hardware are quite likely to block other users from contributing to the team average.
To explain how the average is formed we provide you the image below. You will find three different scenarios, each explaining a specific situation for each team:
| Rank | Participant | HWBOT x265 4K (Intel) | SuperPI 32 (AMD) | Reference Clock | 3DMark Time Spy (Nvidia) | Catzilla 4K (AMD) |

Madshrimps Belgium OC Team
Just curious to know who regulates participants on how they are placed into the different leagues. Because this is a novice league and there are some pictures of people with rigs and setups that seem to be way more advanced than what you would typically see someone who is a "novice" of their sport or trade
Report them then.
No restrictions on what hardware as rookie/novice/enthusiast leagues are time based but apprentice/extreme are based on extreme cooling with elite being people with manufacturer support
There is a picture of a rig in this competition that you can clearly see a liquid nitrogen or similar cooling canister. its funny how its from the team that wins every rookie rumble and novice nimble every time. And by a significant margin i might add
So what you're saying is it's not ok for someone in the Rookie or Novice league's who has the talent and machine shop availability to build his own cooling pot to do so, even if he's never done sub zero OC. I think many guys in Novice have dabbled with sub zero as it's the only way to learn, just don't submit any scores or cheat any contest and it's fine
HATER'S GONNA HATE !
Teams can't win a rookie rumble since it's an individual effort event.
I can understand saying this if the score was not in line or the cpu mhz was too high. But what is wrong with a 4.5ghz 5960x. Perfectly normal for watercooling.
That's not really cool to call out someone like that with no proof that they used that container to cheat. he is a really great guy and I really dont think he would ever cheat.
It's tough sometimes because you want to try ln2 but maybe cant do it all the time so you just dabble here and there until you are ready to commit to extreme league.
So what is your rule, if you have a nice setup, have ln2 containers or have used ln2 before you cant be in the novice league?
the fact of the matter is, we cant be in novice the rest of our lives and it isn't against the rules to buy (in my case make) extreme cooling gear while in the novice league. i dont even have liquid nitrogen becuase places ive called want way to much money, so ive never even been cold yet. all my subs are on water cooling, and the clocks i run go hand in hand with that.
thats all i have to say.
edit:
also thanks for looking out guys means alot.
Thanks for backing up one of the newest and coolest members of our team. I stand behind him proudly.
Before people attempt to smear a very gifted bencher in a public way someone could have asked him. The real question is who is in charge of the witchunt ? And Why?
Btw strong nice win on Cheapaz Chips.
Look at the bright side Johnd0e, you apparently built an amazing ln2 pot. I mean just setting it on your desk next to your rig made your scores so good someone is complaining.
I wonder if anyone can even a round against OCN if he has been doing LN2 on his subs! lol
Johndoe is simply dedicated to win but not by cheating.
Fact is, some guys in the past posted some nasty scores and clocks not attainable with ambient cooling yet cover themselves with monstrous radiator set-up. Common sense will really help you understand which is cheating and which is legit.
