Actually, I just realized - it's the wrong score - I need single core results not multicore results for geekbench 4 so back to invalid data file. I'll keep trying. Ignore my dumb request - now I know why you guys said don't use the submit button ? EDIT: Oh my god I'm just making myself look more retarded as the day goes on. There is no problem with benchmate... the problem is the user who was submitting multicore results instead of the singlecore results. Sorry for all the noise ?

Ok, here is something crazy. If I use the submit to hwbot button within benchmate (I know it's not supposed to be working) I can submit the results no problem - shows up in my profile, etc. I can edit it and add all the missing vendor info but when I hit save the only option it preents to me to participate is the AMD DDR4 comp and not the Intel one... Getting there ? LeegH: Would it be possible to add this submission to the Intel DDR4 comp for me - I'm worried I won't solve this before the end which is in a few hours: https://hwbot.org/submission/4206070_marco.is.not.80_geekbench4___multi_core_with_benchmate_core_i9_9900k_42272_points?recalculate=true

I changed my default browser to Firefox so maybe that's causing some sort of issue. Also, for Geekbench3 I was able to enter my private license key but for Geekbench4 is doesn't ask me nor can I find a place to change it. I think it gets entered during installation but in the case of BenchMate that process is not available obviously... Maybe you are pulling the license info from the registry (I have not actually checked to see if it is there but writing this quickly). The error is: "Invalid Data File. Unable to decrypt the data file."

I've got a key for both and can submit for Geekbench 3 but 4 won't work. Any ideas?

Ah, ok perfect. So, A0 = A1 and A2 is really A2 which means that my Galax HOF set is A2 because the gap between the clusters is exactly as described above. Wonder why I couldn't get Dancop's profile to work... At least I know I'm working with A2 now so I don't have to worry I'm putting effort into something that isn't. Thanks!

Guys, can someone please define "A2" because from what I know there is "A0" which many people seem to identify as "A1" and then there is "A1" which gets called "A2" based on A0 being called A1 and then there is the real A2 which I'm not sure if this BIOS is for THE real A2 or for A1 which gets called A2 incorrectly? I believe I only have A0 and one stick of the real A2 which I believe the last version of the Galax HOF kit was A2 based on the layout I have comparing it to the description I read on r/overclocking (see below):

Agreed. I solved the problem by disabling secure boot - which proves your point perfectly.

Soon we will start hearing questions like "Do you have the working version of Windows 10 or the older version which stopped working?" ? Anyways, I'll figure something out - maybe this is a good time to a fresh install lol. Marco

Just in case I wasn't clear I did finally get an order in but as you've discovered it was related to Paypal. Once I created an account and UNCHECKED the box - forgot what it was called - but the one which suggests your postal address is different from your billing address - Paypal worked again for me. Stated in steps: 1. Create an account on Elmor's site and fill in EVERYTHING under billing address. 2. uncheck box for different address and leave everything blank. 3. profit! Marco

It's a retail version of Windows 10 I purchased directly from Microsoft. I didn't really want to reinstall because this machine is my daily and wanted to take your suite out for a test drive and put it through some of the same hurdles I put our in house developer's stuff through at the company I work for currently during a security audit. Stuff I'm sure you are already familiar with - DLL hijacking, API hooking, etc. Obviously if it needs to be signed and my version of Windows 10 Pro (updated to the latest patch level as of yesterday) isn't able to verify it that maybe something is wrong with my certificate store but you seem to suggest that it's not signed which I'm trying to understand how people reinstalling got it to work?

"Could not initialize BenchMate driver! Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source [#577]" Any ideas? Marco

Wow, thanks DC! Sharing the profiles and having them available in the Asus BIOS - can't tell you how appreciative I am!

Mats, did this resolve for you because I'm still in the same boat and don't know if my account is fracked up or I just need to wait it out... ?

Ah, ok, I'll try that now. EDIT: Ok, I tried again after creating an account and now when I order it says bill phone number required. I added that in my address list for my account but it still insists during checkout that my phone number needs to included. That was with Paypal. So I tried Amex and put my "contact phone #" in but got the same error. I can share some screenshots if it will help. UPDATE: Weird. Not sure what I did differently but I got the order received page. ?

I keep trying to order but no matter how I check out and no matter which browser I use after the card is processed I am returned to the checkout page where it says I need to properly complete the captcha - which of course - I've already done. Anyone else have this problem?

What does it mean when I get no entries in my wall feed about closed competitions and where I ranked and no longer seem to get updated points based on my comps that I have recently completed? It's like I never did them? EDIT: Sorry didn't mean to revive an old thread - for some reason this showed up as new in my unread feed.

I lost quite a few points but believe it was the right decision and appreciate the volunteers who continue to keep hwbot going. Thank you. XTU was what introduced me to the bot by the way... it lead to the rookie rumble... the novice nimble... never looked back!

When you say AA mode you mean like sparse grid supersampling x2/x4/x8 and/or AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL? Then yes. If you mean something else then no. Let me know if I'm retarded.

Yep... Probably should have done it sooner.

you'll definitely want to get that fixed or it will get rejected. Sorry man, been there many times!

Yes, for sure - there is an obvious lack of detail as I increase it to the point where it looks like I'm running the benchmark on an old Mattel Intellivision.

Actually, this benchmark has been such a pain I was going to ask you to do it for me. I need my shoes shined, too. Please don't forget the peeled grapes. LOL. You are correct in assuming I don't want to be spoon fed but little helpful hints like the one you provided aren't frowned upon I hope? One thing I can say I've officially done is tried one round of every possible LOD setting (0 to 33) and none of them made any difference so I suspect if LOD is involved in this at all it must be a non-standard value that isn't offered in the drop down box. I do appreciate you affirming that I should continue to stay within nvidia profile inspector since I had recently washed my hands of it which sounds like the wrong direction... so yes, thank you.

Provide the offering plate and the members will fill it.

nice, jab!

Basically, "blah blah blah blah" "give me your secrets" "some more blah blah blah."
