  1. Who said anything about cheating? Running or not running hwinfo isn't going to change your scores. Leeg is making sure you follow the rules. A runner who has a false start of the line isn't cheating. Too many false starts and they will get disqualified. The fact that you are claiming to never cheat is by far a much more suspicious item of interest than if you ran hwinfo after the benchmark rather than before...
  2. Ya, I saw his Facebook page and it seems like the guy just disappeared. I was hoping that someone from our community actually knew him and could let us know whatever happened.

    Actually, MR - do you know if anyone has released any products like it that were ever available?

    chip does a sustained 4.8turbo all core with reasonable temps. asrock z490

    average chip does 5.0 all core with NH-d15 or drp4 and 100c+ in real stability tests.

    All true. Which simply says that without even trying most people see a big gain from what is advertised. The only thing I'd say to what you wrote above is that 5.0 on all cores doesn't include leaving the AVX speed the same and probably means it set at -3 or lower - agreed?

    I don't care what Intel advertise.

    I mean, if we can't even agree on where to start it becomes a pointless conversation. I'm not here to convince but to converse.

    Nonsense - 9900k never runs at base clock. Default turbo is 4.8 GHz... so OC to 5.1 GHz = +6.25%. This is how it works.

    If that was actually true then Intel would advertise the 9900k with a base clock of 4.8. It doesn't. Furthermore, a turbo multiplier as used by the majority of the world outside of overclocking is a temporary boost in speed and not uniform across all cores. In fact, out the box 4.8 is only guaranteed by Intel on 4 of the cores with the other cores either clocking down or up. So what are you talking about?

  5. I keep hearing people say there is very little overclocking headroom in modern CPUs. I honestly can't figure out where this mentality is coming from. I'm running a 9900K at 5.1 ghz all cores on my daily driver. That's a whopping 41% increase from stock. Most people are doing at least 5 ghz on 9900k - still close to 40%. How is that considered "very little headroom?"

    I think people are using the turbo multiplier as their gauge for measuring... I don't believe this is an accurate way to do it.

    Has anyone else had issues with CPU Standby Voltage and CPU PLL OC Voltage when going above 52 on core multiplier? I'm on the XI Apex and while changing the multiplier from 52 to 53 without changing anything else Standby Voltage went to 1.6v (from 1.07v) and PLL OC Voltage went to 2.6v (from 1.2v!). Seems rather extreme. The standby voltage was an easy fix (1.05v in bios reads as the same 1.07v in HWInfo) but PLL OC Voltage was a little disguised as PLL Bandwidth, has to be set to 0 to bring it back to 1.2v.

    I have definitely experienced the 1.6 standby voltage thingy... I wasn't sure what triggered it but since then I've been manually setting all my voltages even if I wasn't actually going to increase them.

  7. For me it's really simple. If it can go faster and perform better - even by just a little bit - I feel compelled to exploit it. As Ozzie said earlier in the thread - (I think it was Ozzie) - overclocking can't die unless overclockers all die. I can tell my 6 year old already has the same gene that got handed to me. Even if everyone else in the world decided they thought overclocking was dumb and never did it again - I still would - which means it is isn't dead.

    In all honesty though, this whole conversation feels like a philosophy class between those who subscribe to existentialism and those who believe in the ontological argument.  Sounds so deep but as soon as the bell rings no one cares.

    Funny thing just happened - I looked over at my daily driver using a 9900k running with a 51 multiplier (with AVX) and had that warm feeling you get when you know your system is working and playing better than anyone/everyone in a 100 block radius. That good feeling of knowing that you had a "KS" way before there was a KS and knowing that you paid a commodity price for it compared to all the people that flocked over to Silicon Lottery and dropped a crap load of money to get something of equal performance.

    Overclocking is living! Or so it seems to me.

    Irresponsible members - like yourself ( and unfortunately there are A LOT ) on the fast track.

    We have come to a point where ignorance, of the problems here within hwbot.org with the irresponsibility to do anything about them and extremely little thinking to do even the simple minded maintenance tasks.

    is the real shame here.

    How many broken links are there, for the score able benchmark software, in the download section?

    Please Delete. I allowed myself to get trolled.

  9. Alex,

    I would like to buy these but have two questions.

    1) when you say they were tested using regular water cooling do you mean the CPU was under water or that you had the DIMMs themselves using a memory water cooling block?

    2) Will you ship to USA with extra cost covered by me?

    Thread should be changed to 'moderator appreciation thread'.

    There have been many really decent, understanding mods here. Too many for me to list. You know what drives them away? The ungrateful, belligerent members here.

    These guys do this for free, on their own limited time. For what?, So you loudmouths can bitch about everything that doesn't go exactly your personal way? Bullshit.

    Can't blame any of them for quitting. They get little helpful support from the members, and almost no support from the developers or site creator.

    The mods are the only glue that still keeps this FREE site up for you fucking clowns.

    Show some restraint, some patience, and some god dam respect. Is that too much to ask?

     

    Thanks for saying that, Scotty. It's all true. If I have been part of creating that in any way I apologize right here and right now.

    Well he has no interest in it and it continues to run either he's the world's worst investor or it's generating income. Some sponsorship has left but the biggest one still pays.

    You guys are talking like everyone in the room knows what you are talking about but for a relative noob like me (joined at the end of 2015) would it be inappropriate to ask what it all means? Or point me to a place where I could read some background? What it sounds like is that hwbot is owned by someone who doesn't play a role other than make sure the bills are paid? Is that person the original founder? The other day - can't remember where - someone was talking about Overclocking TV just like you guys are doing now - no names were being used but I felt like while I was reading it I was supposed to know what they were talking about. Basically, when I hear this stuff I get all pissed off because I respect you all and if you're pissed off then I get all pissed off but then I'm standing there all pissed off and I don't know why.
