  1. I've tried everything including coming close to having lit my card on fire... This is such an epic score, boss. One thing I noticed in trying to catch you/beat you is that my score was affected by how straight my card sat in the socket. When it drooped or had any bend in it my time would be increased by a few hundred milliseconds. I could replicate the results every time. When I put in a bracket to support the card to keep it straight I'd always score with a lower time. The problem is, never lower than I already did ;-) Interesting about the physical aspects, though...

    One single thing?  Give ycruncher points, it's an interesting benchmark that can run on an extremely wide range of hardware with a validation system and a developer who cares about security.

    Actually, that is one question I've had since joining the bot. Why are some benchmarks allocated points and others aren't? What is the criteria? Is it because of the algorithm? Too many points from too many sources equals overload?

  3. What I love about HWBot:

    I mean, I joined a team that only had one guy in it and he is a human slinky. Name one place - I'll say it again - name one place where I could've done that other than the bot? Ok, more than one. I thought I knew a lot about tweaking systems and making them run fast. Turns out, I didn't know nothing until I caught the bot bug and found myself having to figure out how the guy ahead of me pulled it off. That hasn't changed.

    What I would change:

    I'd love to have just one ranking instead of where I place in the world, where I place in the USA and where I place in my league.

    Anyone have X299 delid tool they can bring????

    I'd love to go to something like this but I'm on the West Coast but it seems like you all are having so much fun I feel compelled to contribute. If you can provide an address I'll have mine shipped using a method that will make sure it is available before the event starts. PM me if you want.

    As I said you need to actually check specific scores to see where you are losing points not your totals.

    My total went down yesterday as one of my scores lost benchmark points, guessing because it shouldn't have had them in the first place not sure but yeah.

    That's the thing, George... If even you who obviously has a firm understanding of how this whole thing works and who is a veteran of hwbot - if even you make a statement like "guessing it shouldn't have had them in the first place... but... uh... hmmm... not really sure" then what hope is there for a noob like me to try and understand what the hell is happening with their score? 

    We really shouldn't call this hwbot.org anymore. It should be called sum_(i=1)^n i^3=((n(n+1))/2)^2.org.

  6. I post nice images, try and be polite, mind my Ps and Qs, send private messages, try and piggyback off other people's threads, ask Splave to pretend he has the same problem as me to see if he can get an answer from someone (just kidding - although - I mean - I would do that at this point)... I'd send hookers if I thought it made a difference (maybe that's the problem).

    Now I'm just whining... What I'm really trying to convey here is "fuuuuuuuuuuuuck."

    I mean, if you're pulling out the database backups and doing bit level comparisons you think you could throw my account in there with TJs if it wouldn't be too much trouble? I won't ask again I promise. I can only cry like Mr. Scott once a year at most.

  7. So I messaged Richbastard with no response yet but I think I finally have figured out where the missing points are... Look at this:

    and look at this:

    I've lost all my points from competitive play. That's a major chunk of my overall score. How do I get this fixed????
