Hey all, Had to pull some numbers for an article. Figured it might be interesting for you guys too! Graph showing percentage of top-1 and top-3 result % per each year. In 2011 the top-3 most popular CPUs were used in 40% of the submissions.

I spend all afternoon doing research on the history of superpi 32M world records. Thanks to Holicho's database, I had a good source for fairly accurate information on the world record. As with any archeological research, it is quite possible that we'll find other records in the future, but for now this is my best estimate of the 32M record evolution since the year 2000. All clickable here: http://hwbot.org/benchmark/superpi_-_32m/ I stopped when arriving around the 7 minute mark, and will check those next weekend. :nana:

I'm away for Christmas this year and will have very little internet access, so... I hope you all have a good Christmas/festive period/whatever your life choices and beliefs lead you to do for the next week Eat well, sleep well, drink "just the right amount" and be in the company of good people

Does this Gigabyte service-tool still work ? http://gigabytedaily.blogspot.gr/2012/02/really-cool-gigabyte-mobo-warranty.html Is there an alternative for Europe ?

You can't complain about the engine's point calculation anymore. It's now calculation points of scores that have yet to be submitted ...

Der8auer's 8GHz SuperPI 32M run. The news item and submission page have a combined total of well over 50,000 pageviews. Not bad for a single SuperPI 32M AMD overclocking result!

So, our little ISON comet is diving into the Sun and if it survive the slingshot around it (well, the tidal forces will be enormous and if it survive, then we know that this one is from pretty solid material, not some loose group of rocks and ice or similar weak things), then we shall see a beautifull show, when it will depart to outher space from the Sun Today the ISON enter the SOHO satelite, monitoring Sun (yes, this behing the clone on the arm from top-right to center), view ange: SOHO 1418 ISON diving in2 I quess I did not need to tell, witch one is the ISON, do I...? And it approaching the Sun with amazing speed. Actuall images you can find ther…

Hey guys, Does anyone have time and the skill to turn a regular PSD logo into a vectorial one? :celebration:

The forum showed that today is Birthday of Hipro5 and Knopflerbruce (it's already 27th and 8 a.m. at my place). So I want to congratulate both guys, each is a great man! Hipro5 is a world-record and HW modification maniac. And Bruce is well known for his AMD K8/K10 addiction. Good day for you two and good luck!

... you just benched the whole day for the country cup and realised afterwards that you forgot the background on every single result. Plus the CPU seems to be dead.

i will just leave it here... AMD Bulldozer FX-4130 Review - Overclocking http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/amd_bulldozer_fx_4130_review,5.html my reaction: ..............................

All brands have issues, Some get heavy fire on the web, Usually from those with bad intend, but Sometimes no one speaks a word, and CPUs die because. Haswell users know what I mean. Why do we not speak of what kills the things most precious to us? We talked about socket burns and exploding VRMs before. What is different now?

The five stages of the Elmor after-party 1) Happiness ("The party was fun") 2) Arrogance ("All the chicks were looking at me") 3) Euphoria ("I could still go on for hours") 4) Depression ("No I can't") 5) Acceptance and Recovery ("zzzz")

Well...need some serious help with some MSI stuff in Indian subcontinent....since hwbot is the den of all companies(almost ) anybody care to help out? *in scooby doo voice* Reeeeelp

Hey guys, thanks to Asus I was able to visit Moscow for AOOC 2013 which was held in Crocus Expo. Asus supplied each overclocker with a VIP pass for the exhibition, so me and phil went there one day before the event just to mess around. As an amateur gamer who plays League of Legends under no circumstances could I avoid Riot's booth so I looked for it (sorry Phil for making you walk around the same booths 3 or 4 times). After asking local people (not that easy though) I managed to find it. When I first saw it I was really amazed for its size cause it was the largest booth in the whole exhibition. Gamers were everywhere, fighting in team of 5 people each, try…

As the topic title says, looking for someone who is very familiar with distributed computing projects

Plz contact Christian Ney for further info :nana:

Was playing around a bit with Google Trends the other day. Found this interesting correlation

Hey all, Figured I might as well kick off this thread early. Computex is going to be insanely interesting for overclockers as Haswell will be launch during the show. There will be plenty of overclocking demonstrations and events, some of which might or might not already have been confirmed. ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION REGISTRATION Registration is now open. This is the English site: https://computex.leadexpo.com/EN-index.html CALENDER OF EVENTS AND ARRIVALS If you are attending Computex, feel free to post your arrival and departure times in the thread. Maybe you can find someone to drive to town with. Also, you can import this into your smartphone an…

Hey guys, The news is the first of 3 this week but that might be the most important one... Valve announces their SteamOS based on linux. http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/'>http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/SteamOS/ http://store.steampowered.com/livingroom/ From a pure Ocer point of view that might not really matter... but if we look a bit wider, what is impacting strongly the Gaming community in the roots might impact us in the more or less distant future. For almost every gamers are on windows, benchmarks and game engine are on windows too... With a Huge actor like Valve with Steam start providing Gaming-enabled Linux-based …
