I watched the live stream - was really cool and grats to Alex for winning the big cash payout!

Yep - that's exactly what I was talking about. So Sandbag = Douchebag. Good to know. If I was macsbeach98 I would be especially pissed off since clearly if there had been any time left he could've resubmitted and taken the lead.
Anyways, as you said - it's allowed (I can't think of a way you could stop it) but it certainly isn't respectable.
-
Honestly, don't know what sandbagging means in this context so help me out.
did you mean douche bag?

Ozzie, I was being sarcastic... "Uncle Guido" - an Italian guy - who solves complex problems (by putting your head in a vice) and helps you see a different perspective (like what it's like to breath underwater), etc. Doesn't speak French but uses Google Translator (e.g. "Ok Google - how do you say I'm going to melt your face off with a blow torch in Francais?")...
But yes, it's also just as funny to think it wasn't sarcastic... ?

PS: I also agree with you - rip off artists aren't interested in doing anything close to moral or making the right choice.

LOL The Silver. You didn't get breast fed when you were a kid or something?

Noxinite,
My close family friend, "Uncle Guido" specializes in solving complex recovery problems like the one you are having. He really has the gift of negotiation and helping others find common ground where they might have failed to notice in the past. Let me know if you are interested. ?
Marco
PS: He doesn't speak French but has had a lot of success using Google Translator on his mobile. Like others have said - thanks for taking the time to warn people about this.

I now own both of these boards and they are both great but I can say that if I could only have one it would be the Dark. It's an engineering work of art.

It's obviously a database issue and most likely inherited from the forum migration. It's also possible that it's not an easy fix and last I heard everyone who keeps the bot going is doing it for free (correct me if I'm wrong - I don't know but it seems that way).
So there are two options.
You can wait until someone who can fix it donates their time for free... or...
you can fix it.
Kind Regards,
Marco

Riiiiiight. I'm always sitting out of comps that make me work. LOL - come on Leeghoofd - it's perfectly normal to want the easier path and usually one does not even know which path that may be unless they've gone down the more tedious one. I will take part in round 2 with the same energy I've put into every competition since joining the bot.

I am horrified at the prospect of air cooling only RE: GPUs.
This is supposed to be fun and that requirement suddenly makes it a whole lot of work - I speak only for myself.
You know, the 2080 Ti RTX is an incredibly boring card at stock cooling. "Yay, look - we all get to score the same how fun! Oh wait, kimandsally pulled ahead by 1 mark... wait - hold on to your hats everyone - jab33 just went ahead by 1, too!"

Not all vendors program the PCB version into the SPD. I know for a fact that Corsair doesn't IDK about others.
I hadn't seen one without so good to know ? Thanks, BZ.

Yes it does.
Benchmarking is a total package, not just whipping your hardware.
Overclocking is whipping your hardware.
Benchmarking is actually doing something with your overclock.....which requires a little more thought and resourcefulness to get a better score. After all, the score is what matters, not just the overclock used.
If you make that distinction between "overclocking" and "benchmarking" then I see your point. I guess I never really thought of them as being different.

I was under the impression that people just wanted a wrapper to stop cheating and therefore allow people to use potentially cheatable OS/chip combinations, nothing more but fair enough, time will tell. I'm just a grumpy old man who doesn't like change
Don't get me wrong - I don't like change either but I also kind of feel like if I rank higher than someone else just because I had the time to figure out which O/S runs such and such benchmark faster that it really doesn't test my skill level or accurately gauge where I'm at.
If there is a fallacy in this line of thought I'm more than willing to be corrected ?

I don't know the answer to that but for me it feels right...

For the record, I never saw this in Firefox... I am using the latest version.

Just so you guys see this
Thank you very much! Perfect!

I'm trying to understand how CPU-Z could be reporting a higher clock rate than what hwmonitor pro has for a max of 5400? Doesn't that suggest you opened up HWmonitor Pro AFTER rather than during the benchmark run? My understanding is that for the Road to Pro comps we have to be running either hwmonitor or hwinfo during the bench attempt and not after... Correct me if I'm wrong please ?
Great score by the way...

Excuse my ignorance but doesn't Thaiphoon Burner identify which PCB revision the vendor used?

VR mod to the dram VRM
I think out of all the options that's the one I'd go for if it was me. Of course, if you can access the SPI header on the board and have an interface to flash from then nothing should stop you from at least trying a straight flash from the z390 board since you don't need to worry about borking things up and can easily flash back the original.
Whatever the case may be - when you are finally successful and push out a few scores it's always the ones which required cool modifications like these that feel oh so good. ?

Ya, well, I'll definitely be switching since I need the same luck as everyone else who miraculously all hit 5403 on the button. ;-)
-
hwinfo uses decimal points for cpu speed and hw monitor doesn't. So one screenshot from hwinfo might report 5403.9 and hw monitor will report 5403. Is 5403.9 over the limit?

very nice, man!

I mean, I for one am not nearly good enough to have the luxury to think my scores would ever be good enough to hold out submission on. Once I get there I'll let you know.
And Mac - Scotty is right that is a crazy collection of AMD cards... I was most impressed with your use of the powerboards. I have a new model EVGA but couldn't get it to work and chickened out. I know that it was holding me back once I was using the LN2. My memory overclocks on all my submissions were really low.
