hi every1......
i haf a question bout overclocking competition........i can c tat mani ppl compete about d score in d benchmarkin software in a open competition
how is it being evaluate???bcoz doesn't mean tat higher-end pc wil definitely haf higher score meh???so is it fair if ppl havin different hardware being battle in d same competition???
juz wonderin......sori,if my question doesnt solid enuf 2 start a topic

A variety of hardware is given for the competitors to choose from, so their setup can be the same or varies from others.

ermm...doesn't it means tat higher price hardware will haf advantage?
o.0

I believe MOST overclocking competition do use the same hardware to make it a fair competition,but each of the hardware may has its own batch/specialities.However,they have their own ways on how to perform or make it better/faster..

Mostly all the competitions i participate will provide the same hardwares, even the same batchs as well. The only different is the skill and luck... so luck plays an important role in the competition. Each run we will run the exact same benchmark in the given time frame, once time's up then the highest benchmark scores win or the fastest results win

totally agree with lucky.. but not always come

ermmm....

Do you even heard of hwbot.org??
It is like a competition platform open to world ocer where you could benchmark your own respective class of hardware and get credit for it or you get credit for top benchmarking score so in another word,oc competition could be had anytime and in your home

this depends.
on OC competition, there r a lot of session:
1) highest vantage
2) highest 06
3) highest clock speed
4) etc..........

anyone organise it?

hwbot.org ,you get credited for the best result in your hardware class/best benchmark result/

$$$ is the key factor to win the competition. hehe

Dube,do you know the playing field is even usually in competition?
You just bring yourself + cooling.Winning factor is on luck and skill(Great efficiency,right 3dmark01 run order......)

well bro oc competitions arnt usually meant to break world records. they are mostly marketing events where many from around the world gather to show their faces and names. it is through this and the media coverage that the organisers benefit.

wr oc attempts are mostly done at home with more prep and more time. oc compys are very time constraint and stressful unlike the own time own target at home

personally joined many intl oc compys and won a few
