Incredible, this one will be tough to beat, congrats!

This ?

OMG!! This result is from another planet! Congrats, freakin awesome run and cpu :)

?

The one that Michael posted was better ? Great, thanks Alby!!

LoL ??

Insane score! How many liters per run? Edit: just saw it, 3L O_O \,,/

Another bugged sub, please correct it.

Wrong score pal...

@richba5tard Until when will this pool be available to vote?

Bump, nice prices!

Me too.

Great score!! Congrats :)

Great score!! Congrats :)

I still think it's not a benchmark problem, encoding to h265 using avx is very hardware stressful. Still hoping to see someone here testing it the way i mentioned above.

Well, if someone is suspecting that there is a killer bug in x265 benchmark, than i think the better way to test this is to pick the same videos that are in x265 and encode then using some software like handbrake during a extreme overclock session, pushing it the same way x265. If after some extreme oc sessions no hardware is killed then there is a x265 killer bug problem. But if hardware is killed while encoding using handbrake we will know that it is not a problem related to the benchmark, but to the encoding process itself. Anyway, it looks a crazy suggestion, but would be a non questionable proof.

As we can see from pool, x265 will probably keep it's gp. I like this bench, never killed any hardware on it, even when pushing my 7700k at 1.8v i killed it, but i'm pretty sure i was using less vcc, pll etc... voltages than top overclockers. But i know x265 can really kill much more cpus than other benchs, so, as Scotty said, the limit will be our goal, and as havli said, it's our own risk.

I want to reconsider my vote to xtu. Despite i like to run this bench and see the gains when i push ram timings, it is a well known bugged benchmark and run only on intel second gen or newer. So, disable globals seems the right thing, but maybe keep the hw points...? As for the x265 i heard that before, it's a cpu killer, but i like it too. Very complex things put on the table...

I fully agree.

Nice pool. What's the cutoff point? Best 3?

Free bump ? very good prices.

Alex, is there any chance that you can sell to me only the 5970? PM me if possible, thanks

Nice result K :)

No more cooling categories, only 3 categories: sponsored, non sponsored and rookie, simple as that. Guys, we need to simplify things for Hwbot staff, and getting rid of rankings based on cooling categories looks pretty reasonable.

By simplifying the leagues into 3 based on sponsored, non sponsored and rookie will benefit Hwbot staff in many ways, from less demanding code maintenance to the fact that you can't verify the cooling method. I've seen by myself a lot of subs that are questionable about the correct cooling method used, and i'm not even a staff moderator, can you guys imagine how many questionable cooling method submissions Hwbot mods have seen here since the beggining?...
