HWBot no longer accepts Windows 8 submissions

Not a valid score due to RTC problems

HWBOT also announced that it will not give up on Windows 8 and is currently looking into a possible solution. Until the issue has been fixed or resolved in some way, HWBOT has suspended all result submissions from Windows 8 systems. This move will have great effect on current leaderboards since practically those set while running Windows 8 OS are currently suspended. Of course, most overclockers were sticking to Windows 7 OS so we are not sure if we will see any shifts on those same leaderboards.

According to HWBOT, the Windows 8 RTC has a sever validity problems and results achieved with Windows 8 cannot be trusted. The issues lies with the RTC being affected when system is over- or under-clocked.

We certainly hope that HWBOT will manage to get fix/resolve this issues as it will be another big hit on Microsoft Windows 8 OS.
