Novice Nimble #8

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!

Novice Nimble: How Does It Work?

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:

  • In Scenario 1, three users from one team each submit scores with three different hardware items. The team average is based on these scores and all users are contributing. The team average is completed.
  • In Scenario 2, three users from one team each submit one result. Two use the same hardware. Only the top score is used for the team average, so the team average is not complete (2/3). In order for complete the team average, one user must submit using different hardware.
  • In Scenario 3, two users from one team submit respectively two and one results with two different types of hardware. In this case there are two options: in case one user has the best score with both hardware, the score of the second user is not taken into account. Then the team average requires two more submissions to complete. In case two, each user has the best score for a hardware item. In that case the team average only requires one more user with a different hardware to complete the team average.

Wondering why @superzan's 300 MHz Reference Clock got superseded with my submission?

 

 

 

 

For reference, before my submission, our team scores were:

 

GASPARSPEED - P5Q-E @ 460MHZ - 460.01 MHZ REFERENCE CLOCK

HILDERMAN - Z97 OC FORMULA @ 175.1MHZ - 175.08 MHZ REFERENCE CLOCK

 

And this: http://hwbot.org/submission/3180288

 

But now, that 300 FSB is gone.

you submitted a 414 score with AMD... so best 3 scores, so one needs to disappear right ? :confused:

by 3 best scores, then Superzan's 300 + mus1mus' 414 + garparspeed's 460 should comprise our total eh?

Must be some rule not being fallowed or someone deleted to sub. night be usefull if you link the other subs too.

 

Here's the current tally for OCN:

 

175 - http://hwbot.org/submission/3155436

460 - http://hwbot.org/submission/3183568

414 - http://hwbot.org/submission/3194921

 

The submission in focus that was super-ceded,

 

300 - http://hwbot.org/submission/3180288

 

Unless a rule was made to limit the submission by CPU family, I believe, there's nothing wrong with the 300 fsb sub.

Guys it's separated by socket and both Mu1mus and SuperZan have submitted on the AM3+ socket. (orry it took me so long to work it out).

Someone should be able to knock my 175 out with better. That was just a marker from day one.
