Rookie Rumble #16

Welcome to the Rookie Rumble! We assume you arrived here via XTU and that’s great but the OC world offers much more. The Rumble introduces you to the concept of competitive overclocking. It’s a contest only for new overclockers like you. Good luck!

There are three stages, each with the same hardware restrictions but featuring a different benchmark. The benchmarks are: XTU, HWBOT Prime, and MaxxMem Read Bandwidth. You can gather points by submitting in each of the three stages. The better the result, the more points you acquire and the higher you'll rank overall! Note that the validation process for the benchmarks is slightly different. Check out the rules section to learn more or drop us a message on our forums if you have a question.

Hi all,

 

I believe there is a submission problem for the trafrank.32 MaxxMem Read 30123 MByte/sec. It should be 22963 MBytes/sec from his screenshot.

 

Sorry trafrank.32, it is to be fair to all !

 

Let the Rookie Rumble continue !

Thanks for the report :)

Hi all, again! It is my first Rookie Rumble, so I'm still trying to catch the rules here. How are the scores validated? If the rules of each benchmark are applied, you couldn't submit scores using a Windows 8 based OS for HWBOT Prime and MaxxMem Bandwith? I don't want to be an a**hole, I just want to compete with the rules. Because I see a lot of screenshots of Windows 8 in the top submissions.

Guys and ladies I'm moderating the scores and found a lot of incomplete screenshots. Especially for HWBOT Prime: plz make sure your screenshot includes the needed CPU-Z tabs and verify if the score is being displayed in the benchmark.

 

Also make sure you follow the rules; no win8 or later for HWBOT Prime and Maxxmem due to RTC bug

 

Thanks for the co-operation and understanding! It is a dirty job but someone has to do it to make it fair for everybody!
