    I been for a while posting scores from Iraq at xtreme forums and 3dguru but I want to be able to post my scores against other serious users and get my scores verified so people stop telling me that I cheat I can't even put sig and the submit score page I put my info and pics and stay sending forever and then get a error mesage http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=1868436

    Io I hope to find some people who did run this board.. I'm trying to get this 2.4 to 3 or more and its not really working along. Soon as i put the fsb to 166 windows 7 won't boot , says this;windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this file 0xc0000428 When put to stock its booting. I'm using 166fsb and pci locked at 33.. I hope to find some help here.. ty!!

    Hey, guys New to the Bot, although I have some friends who've made quite a couple of admissions. I currently have both an MSI 5850 and MSI 5870. Can I bench them in CF and submit the scores? As 2 x 5850's? Thanks, Deon

    So, I'm fairly new to this tweaking side of overclocking and I was wondering... How much can one achieve in terms of stability and performance by disabling processes of Windows XP? And what are the bare minimum processes for the system to run all benches (3Dmarks, wprime & superpi)? And then the question about TEC (peltier). I have 80W TEC, which uses 8-16V input voltage. So I thought I'd give it a go in my rig just to see how much further I could push my E5200 with aircooling... Any reason why I shouldn't try this to my rig? As a man with 3 children and a wife, I have very limited time to mess around with my system So any reasonable hints and tips are more…

  7. I received this board a week ago, but only had the time today to first start testing it. First task of the day was to see how the IGP of my 661 scales in 3D. Since this particular bios (F4 - latest) doesn't offer any IGP clock frequency changes just yet, the only way to increase the GPU frequency was by increasing the BCLK. Now, that was not so easy on air cooling with the GMA HD enabled: I only got it up to 160MHz stable through 3D. Sadly enough, none of the current applications offer the possibility to see the real frequency just yet (W1zzard is working on it - due next week), so I have to settle with the easy calculation of: "GPU = BCLK * Multiplier/4" For the …

  8. Here is short OC report about G.Skill CL7 2200MHz kit. Part number and specs are: G.Skill F3-17600CL7D-4GBPIS (DDR3 2200 7-10-10-10-28 1.65V) I used cheap ASUS P7P55D Pro motherboard for a reason and my i7 870 is the worst of it's kind. On this board, absolutely max bclk is 213MHz This issue was limiting my tests quite badly, when I tried to find the maximum stable clockspeeds. These following results should be easily repeatable in any setup, cause my system parts are so crappy.

  9. hi all .. I want to ask .. I do OC with a rig: AMD Athlon II X3 245 + Asus M4A785D-M Pro + Corsair XMS2 6400-1024 (dual channel) + AcBel 470 .. I just get 3483MHz .. HT link is at 258MHz (2580MHz). . with air cooling (HDT-S1283), can I get more than that?? .. oh .. I forgot something .. what is a safe vcore for these configurations?? .. 1.58v whether enough? .. thank you .. sorry on my english bad .... I use google translate .. errr...happy new year all..

    OK. 1.33V @ 3.5 is substacial for Q9400, but want more than just 4.0GHz. E7300 clocked successfully at 4.15GHz (max threshold) @ 1.49V on P43 chipset. Now running Q9400 on X48 ICH9R chipset want to clock to 5.0GHz on air (untested). Possible? Major Failure imminent? Want to know difference between quad and duel core cpu's architecture, can you explain please? Know that Quad at same stability as duel under less power consumption meaning duel requires more power imput than quad. Know that under current conditions ocing Quad is easyier than find threshold on duel. What else to know? Possible side paramenters, hurdles in threshold path? Know that duel contained maximum thresh…

    Hello. I tried ocing my e7300 today to 3.5GHz and ran into a problem when I finished running 3dmark vantage because I saw the score was actually 100 points less than on stnadard clocks. Can anyone help me with this. I just bought a new MB.

    I can't overclock my memory at all with this thing. Everytime i do i get these weird flickering on my screen. I can OC just the core all the way up to 1000mhz and it's no problem, everything runs fine, but as soon as i up just 1mhz on my memory, I get the weird flickering. Here is the best part, the flickering happens everywhere EXCEPT when i am actually in a game. For example, every moment before i actually start playing crysis my screen would flicker (ie crysis menu screen, loading screen would flicker) as soon as i am in the game everything runs fine. Does anyone know why? or knows how to fix it? Did i get a bad card? or is it something else? I've tried many different…

    In an effort to solve the problem of unbeatable scores achieved with older wPrime versions, I've completely re-done the calculation and threading section of wPrime in an effort to bring the score on par with or slightly faster than v1.53. I could use some testers to compare scores with older versions, in particular on higher processor count SMP systems as I've completely redesigned the threading model so I'm not sure of the effect it'll have on 8 core + systems (only have quads here to test on). - Wprime 2.00 Beta6: http://www.wprime.net/?q=download&f=wprime_200_beta6.zip - Wprime 2.00 Beta3: http://www.wprime.net/?q=download&f=wprime_200_beta3.zip - Wpr…

    I did run 3DMark06 (Vantage, 3DM05, XXX) The settings above But i can get a good result in Aquamark I just get around 200000 points I used a Aquamark Hotfix, and did run in Windows Vista 64 and Windows XP32 (same thing) Somebody knows what s happened? Thanks for all

  20. Hey there, in the past 2 years i've been at hwbot i often saw wPrime results with validation only and no screenshot. There are a lot of results where i just think "WTF". I've seen results at stock clock and no memory/latency is shown. So there's only a result. I used wPrime several times and sometimes wPrime doesn't detect the correct CPU. So what if thats not even the right CPU? We can't know if there's just a checksum: XYZ12345 (valid) whether it was the right CPU and not a bug. Is there a way to check the Validation? Are they safe? Where's the problem to force the users to upload Screenshots beside the validation? (Same to FM links but i think thats a diff…

I was surprised to see that with this setup i really had a fast setup for pcmark05 after many many runs of pcmark05 and the acard being way to fast on the xp start-up test that's a capped limit of 220mb's for Hwbot i still managed to pull it back to 219.8mb's for the xp start-up test giving me a nice score of 29162:p this score is ranked 7th world wide http://hwbot.org…

  24. Time to put this 'out there'. We intend to start this soon. Here's what we have so far. What do you think? F1OC Proposal It has become apparent that there is a new generation of elite overclockers who now have early access to cutting-edge hardware that has lifted them beyond the realms of traditional overclocking competition. This idea has been discussed over the past several months but is now in a position to go ahead. It will be in addition to existing competitions and completely separate from them. We have been speaking to the industry over the past few months already but at Computex I visited virtually every manufacture who would be directly involved a…
