nice jab - impressive!

second day with LN2 - I waste way too much but I'll get better with practice.

I'm having this problem, too. Benchmark runs fine at 4k and everything is good but when I go to save the data file it just force quits. Help?

Absolutely nuts - I'm just staring at the score after working on my own runs all day and my head looks like a jack-o-lantern. Big props. Is there any issues with that screenshot, though because I thought you had to have the taskbar and Windows clock showing but maybe that is just for the Challenger Divisions at the moment? Nevertheless, cuckoo for cocoa puffs score!

It's taken a few "expensive" mistakes but I think I finally got the hang of properly insulating my gear. Thanks for the positive vibes, GS!

Gonna be my daily, too. ?

Ordered my XI Apex to USA from England. Ebay. Had no other options unless I wanted to buy from Japan and offer one of my fingers to the Yakuza. Does anyone know if I can take the waterblocks from XI Formula (the ones that just cover the VRMs) and transplant them onto the Apex?

nice one, boss!

Can someone please tell me what the secret formula is for submitting the HWBot x265 v2.2 4k benchmark? If I use the submit to hwbot button it instantly crashes. Doesn't matter if I select "ignore CPU detection" or not. Ok, let's try the save data file. Doesn't matter which of the three options I choose "core i7", "<my actual CPU here>" or "ignore" it instantly crashes. I tried "run in Windows 7 mode" - same failure. I already checked the forums in "hwbot software and apps" but there isn't anything that explains how to fix the issue. I searched this thread also but didn't see anything - if I missed it I apologize. shit - I meant to post this in the actual Country Cup thread - my bad. A mod can move it if they'd like - I wouldn't complain ?

I should be benching this on my i9 7900x, too - that would also up my score... Those Titan RTXes are sure pretty looking!

I finally got my hands on a 2080 Ti - wanted either the Asus Strix or the Evga FTW3 - didn't care - but couldn't find one available until today when I saw a FTW3 being sold by Evga on Ebay of all places... why the hell wouldn't they sell it through their site? oh well, who cares - at least I'll have one soon. No waterblock for it yet - can't find one of those either... geez.

thanks for the heads up - just grabbed one!

Slinky left a message for me and said he was calling from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and I couldn't quite make out what he was saying because the connection was garbled but something about "this frackin' GPUPI... ... installation issues and... ... 2,090,880 Volta cores" and then message ended. Anyone know what he could be going on about?

Man, so glad you shared this because I'd never have figured that out myself. Crazy making!

Guys, can't believe no one wants to talk about my epic 19th spot! Only one direction from here lads! WOOOOOT!!!!

spill the beans, Webs!!!! ?

zero plus zero??? ? JK ?

Thank you for the review, WS! ?

LOL - maybe because I have it in my screenshot.

just out curiosity - how did you know what memory voltage I was using?

Voltage is a lot more important for timings - so if you wanted to try and lower the CAS Latency, etc. you'd definitely want to add more volts. Since I was going for max DDR rate and raising my timings 1.52 to 1.55 seemed appropriate considering that the DDR4-4600 Mhz retail kits are being sold @ 1.5.

When it says CPU core/uncore is limited to 6 Ghz (plus/minus 10 mhz) does that mean up to 6 Ghz (so 5 Ggz would be acceptable) or 6 Ghz only with a small spread of 10 mhz on either side?

no worries - I'll take the extra points towards my overall league score!

really impressive - nice work!

Very nice!
