    For what reason did you delete my result in the Challenger 2018 Div V Round 2 - 3Dmark11?

    in HWBOT Competitions

    This rule was not from the beginning of the competition. Did you change the rules during the competition? It's not fair! This is a manipulation of results!
    I had 2 submissions (with 2 gpu) there. The first was submitted at the beginning of the competition (in May) and nobody removed it (not taking into account the situation with the official background). My submission was in the rating for 3 months and everything was fine because any rules at that time I didn't violate.
    And after the end of the competition it turned out that I had violated the rules during all 3 months?!
    I demand you return my illegally deleted result!

    Tipic full of yourself guy.

    Are you paying something here? No? So shut the fuck up man, Hwbot is not your house...

    If you could change 1 thing on hwbot what would it be?

    Casanova, this is in no way intended and should not be the message taken away from my post.

    The truth is that I have been researching on timers and benchmark security in general for quite some time now and found multiple issues. The issue shown in the video is just one of those, although it's a pretty tough one. It's important to know that not a single bit of executables, drivers or OS code was edited to achieve these results. What has changed is how the system is perceived through the eyes of the benchmark. It's just not reliable the way it's done currently.

    What really should be taken away from this is the fact that this needs attention, needs to be changed and fixed. And it's not only one thing.

    Edit: Just to clarify, HWBOT knows about these problems since last year.

    I totally understand man. Congrats for all your effort.

    Have you tried to reproduce this with pifast and superpi? Do u think they can be cheated too?

    To understand how bad the situation currently is I decided to finally release the following video to the public. This is a tool I wrote in not even a day that completely screws with CPU-Z and XTU in an undetectable manner. I won't go into technical details for now for the sake of extreme overclocking in general. With GPUPI 4 I already found a way to fix these security issues (and lots of others).

     

    That's it, i give up. Stand up paddle will be my new hobby.

    The thing is: we are living an e-sports and mining generation, and since 90's i can't remember hardware parts being so discussed and show on TV like the last 2 years.

    On the oposite, Hwbot does not have any other site to compete against, however the last 2 years was really bad in terms of overclock community, mainly here. XS is also a huge database of information about overclock, but o don't see many movement in there too...

    I don't have a solution, but i think overclock community is loosing a good chance to grow.

    I think if we want XOC/HWBot to survive we need to make it easier for new guys to join, I have several friends interested but as soon as they see all the different OS's needed and restrictions that's the end of it. As much as I'd hate to see certain benchmarks go, it may be a necessity. Potential new members want to see a fair, and easy to use platform. I think Allen nailed it when he said benchmarks with wrapper or valid link

    Agree with making it easy for new members only.

    i would make one dramatic change, completely disable the whole pointing system to all extreme cooling submissions. to ambient i dont want to give any advice at all, but i do believe that no need any kind of pointing system to prove each other or to the supporters that youre up or down on a list with 2 points by the next day, your results and their ranking (ofc keeping the cups tho) speaks for themselves anyway. the simple the better, no more weeping about 3d or 2d points comparison. its not enough competitive for you? go to ocesports and join a country cup or whatever. its not the first time to see ocers losing the motivation and not uploading their results to hwbot. it really needs to worked out somehow to bring the willing back to people to upload their results. keeping the database up to date is much more important than rewarding. thats my 2 cents.

    This. Although i still think that 3d benchers should earn more points if u want to keep the point system, simple because who knows how to bench 3d knows 2d too (almost every good 3d overclocker started with 2d).

    Also, disable points for old 3d benchmarks (ok maybe keep 3dm03) just because they became 2d benchmarks...

    It's really strange to see guys in the top 20 world ranking who never touched a soldering iron to mod their own hardware...

    HWBOT Rev7.1 Proposed change: minimum points even below cutoff

    It's just sad to see guys like Frederik devoting so much time and effort, but rankings, calculation, global points, hardware points etc... are still messed up.

    I have two small kids too, so i imagine what he is going through at home.

    I'm giving a break from extreme overclock for now, mainly because i'm not having time to dedicate to this amazing hobby, but also because it seems pointless to keep competing here with rankings changing every week.

    Good luck for everyone involved to keep things working in this amazing and pioneer overclock community :)
