Rookie Rumble #18

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 GPUPI for CPU - 100M. 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.

i posted a single core score in xtu of 309 and its not coming up

Guys and gals plz make sure your all your score screenshots include the required CPU-Z CPU and CPU-Z memory tabs.

 

Take note that for HWBot Prime Windows 8 or later is not allowed due to RTC bug.

my single core score of 309 in xtu should be winning.. 4790k with 3 cores disabled and my oc scores a 309

May 14, 2015 at 10:04:30 AM UTC

Disabling cores does not count in XTU mate as the ranking is done per CPU type, yours is a 4790K, no matter how you configure your cores it will always count as a 4 cores score. So your only option is to use a real single core cpu

May 14, 2015 at 10:14:14 AM UTC

ahhh... that doesnt really make sense but ok :/ doesnt make sense why it uses our single core score tho. . .oh welllllll . .. maybe they will fix that

Hey guys, I'm new here. I was curious if anybody knew why I'm reflecting 1 point for my XTU submission in the competition. I'm Not sure if i added a screen shot with it or not and thought that maybe that could be the cause. Thanks

Hi!

 

The 1 point reflects your position in the competition stage ranking. The better you score in the XTU stage (XTU score divided by amount of cores of your CPU), the higher you go up in the stage ranking. The higher in the ranking, the more points you gather.

 

Hope this clears things up :)

Man, for my first submission into a OC competition, I didn't do half bad!

this would have been nice if they didnt ban windows 8/8.1 scores
