    cleaned up the thread due to personal verbal abuse.. relax guys... I proposed the DEL button solution to the programmers... hold your horses

    If the delete button solution gets implemented, that will be it then? No cpuz version / notepad / date ect ect?

    Basically I'm wondering if I need to dump anything I find on my usb before your cutoff date of 1-6-20 or not?

    Not in every case it's sandbagging in reference to #1.
    Sometimes it's defending your position with a certain bench/hardware type, I mean if someone beats a result you've had it's only natural to go after it to regain the top spot - It's called competition.
    I've done that before myself in cases when I got bumped and as long as that is the case I don't see a problem. Sometimes I'll get bored and drag out a certain piece and rebench just to see if I can improve the result and if I do, I'll sub it - No harm, no foul.

    You sorta misunderstood me. We are definitely in agreeance.

    In my post I was specifically referring to old scores from original session, ie sandbag, ie found on usb ect ect. I do this myself as do many others, however I am also aware some people don't like it. But its been a common practice on hwbot forever.

    Any time someone rebenches a pieice of hardware, whether to take back a top spot, or just improve your current spot, this is both 100% legit, and also encouraged. This is the true spirit of benching. Rebenching for a better score is not and never has been sandbagging :)

  3. I see two scenarios of "sandbagging" and one scenario of cheating.

    1)Uploading an old improved score because someone beat your old #1. This is real sandbagging, some people don't like it, but for me its perfectly acceptable.

    2)Uploading an old improved score, beating your old score just to bump new season ranking. This is questionable to me, however I can't say its outright wrong.

    3)Intentionally deleting old score, then re-uploading exact same score to bump season ranking. This is 100% unacceptable and should be fully considered cheating.

  4. Overclocking always has been, and always will be a niche hobby. I don't understand the point of it being compared to twitch/youtube sub count? Maybe the community was much larger back in the "good ole days", I can't say as I wasn't around 10+ years ago. Anyway if I did my math correctly there has been 2612 participants to hwbot in 2019. Many of these might just be a single sub, but many of them are "active" benchers. Sure thats a tiny number comparing it to a twitch streamer with 60k subs, but again whats the point in that? As long as the hwbot number stays above ZERO overclocking isn't dead :)

    Just one more reason that benchmate is complete bunk and you should run Windows 7 on Ryzen/Coffee Lake like a REAL MAN.

    Only people who can't into "Installing Windows for power users" run Winshit 10 to bench.

    This cinebench bug can happen on any OS. I have seen it on win7, server2012 (win8.1), and win10.

    Even though benchmate returned a valid score, anyone can clearly see its bugged. The render is missing and the score is WAY out of line.

    Have it working on the Gene XI @FireKillerGR what do you mean by old image doesn't work,mine is 5512 build tighten for overclocking by Strat few years ago ... I looked into your packed files and you seems using Fernando's AHCI drivers,from my experience there's incompatibility problem (BSOD during device installation in setup),I had to use other one ^^

    For USB support you need to inject AMDXHCI drivers with Nlite ;)

    Which AHCI driver are you using then?
