Well f@#$! I gots to go to bed. I stayed up extra late tonight as I wasn't satisfied with my previous 3 hours of benching and not one better run. Got back out of bed a minute ago to get the second in a half lower score.

Come on guys. Some of you are getting way out there from what the rules are for screen shots. Some of you have more than half of some of your software/utilities cut off while others don't have CPU-z validations. Heck I even seen a 1.51 CPU-z in the screenshot but a 1.52 CPU-z validation? It's not that hard. There are more to these contests than just running the bench at the said speed. Proper screenshots are a part too as well using the right version of the software/utility detailed in the contest. I can understand not having the internet thing, taking a screen shot and saving the cpuz file to upload it and submit your run on another computer but having improper screenshots and the wrong software/utility versions I can't. You might as well run the bench at the wrong speed too!

I've been getting a shitload of pm's regarding the lame screenshots that have been submitted thusfar in the contest. Also complaints of it being unclear if it is o.k. to super-impose screenys taken on a non-internet os onto a internet capable os. At first this was acceptable, but it opened too many doors. Some benchers werent sure so they benched what they brung, others chose to play the gray from the git go. I can see problems arising and it'll be no fun for anyone at the end of the day. We live and learn in anything new so here we are learning.

SO ROUND 1 is being extended to Wednesday, August 5, 2009, at 0700 hours Hawaii Time. You have until this time to get your screenys in on time. CPU Tweaker is being dropped from the i7 screeny requirments so we have continuity across the contests. Its not a popular decision, I know.

ROUND 1 REVISED SCREENY REQUIREMENTS

-Screenshot with the following all in one screeny (No internet? Get some): (REVISED!!!!!)

Super_PI_Mod_1.6 w/Validator 32M
techpowerup validator showing valid run
CPU-Z 1.51 w/processor, mainboard, mem, spd,
Text document w/ "Name, date, time, score, "Overclockaholics SPI_32M Challenge"
CPU-Z validation link that mirrors the date,time u completed the benchmark w/your name on it must be in your sumbission post.
AGAIN, Uploading to the forum is not necessary, having a clearly viewable screenshot IS!

This is a perfect example of a screenshot:

Enjoy the rest of the contest.

Aren't you missing the CPUz validation link mirroring the date, time w/name?

karmakazi · #6 07-31-2009

how am I supposed to use cpuz 1.51 with a valid??? you can only valid with 1.52. So i followed the rules as best I could 1.51 in screen as rules state. For a valid u gotta use 1.52 tho. At least tell me if the screenshot is valid for my submission. I stayed up till like 4 am trying to get something decent in.

karmakazi · #9 07-31-2009

I get an error everytime i use 1.51. It works perfectly fine with 1.52

In case of problem, please send us an email with a short description of the issue. Please note that no cvf generated with an old version of CPU-Z will be added.

dinos22 · #10 07-31-2009

just put your name at the validation tab and clock publish
it worked for me
or download CPUz 1.51 again or something
how can it work here and not there makes no sense
