There is a link to the rules in the first post...(FULL COMPETITION RULES): http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=7358953#post7358953

General Rules:
- Must use current competition background (posted in current competition thread)
- Must follow Hwbot rules for submissions (here for reference)

Now, as the first post says, there is not currently a chosen backround, so you should use one of rezam's.

Ajay, you are missing a window...(the tryout screen).

Ajay57 · Dec 4, 2013

Sorry i made MESS i just a guessed at the Format before i saw Quickfast post!!

EDIT: I deleted the other posts and redone the format, the same as Quickfast now.

I linked to the right instructions 15 mins before that, but ok.

Also, Geekbench is a CPU benchmark so you do not need the GPUz screen posted since GPUs are not tested.

Ajay, to make it easy on yourself, you have two monitors. Put the example SS from Hwbot up on one monitor and make your other screen contain the same required information. Easy breezy.

Ajay57 · Dec 4, 2013

OK ED on the 2 monitors, but i find for some reason my scores are higher using 1 Screen, don't ask me why. Because i do not know the answer my friend!!

AJ.

EarthDog · Dec 4, 2013

Well, you should have it now anyway, but I thought there was a way to enable the other monitor after the benchmark... but, you should have it by this point.

Nice run! Maaaaaaaaybe I will beat your score by the end of the month...maaaaaaaaybe.

Ajay57 · Dec 4, 2013

Oh by the way i was not really trying too hard ED!!! There is still a chance buddy!

If someone don't change the rules here!!

MetalRacer · Dec 4, 2013

I think we need to run this in 32bit mode since that is the only option for the free version and 64bit is a little faster.

Ajay57 · Dec 4, 2013

Maybe, but i just paid for my version, i wish someone had put this into the Comp Notes before hand!!

EarthDog · Dec 4, 2013

I think we need to run this in 32bit mode since that is the only option for the free version and 64bit is a little faster.

Good call. Agreed. I had no idea that you had to pay for 64bit...

Ajay57 · Dec 4, 2013

Hey that's not fair i want my money back lol!!

mbentley · Dec 4, 2013

I am confirming which version should be used although I suspect the free 32 bit version is what is expected to be used because free > not free

Ajay57 · Dec 4, 2013

All i can say MrBentley is you pay your dues and make a choice!! But if its official and the rules is changed then i will reluctantly abide by it.

P.S. Its too late now i can not get a refund.

I wouldn't want anyone to unnecessarily pay for a bench. Free is definitely better than not free.
I am not sure what the 64 bit cost is or how much of an advantage it is. I would suggest that no one else buys it. 32 bit will likely be the standard to use, but I will leave it up for debate, and let bmwbaxter make the final call.

My apologies Ajay. I didnt realize that there was 2 different versions.
