Noted it myself..... All from the same guy too. Liqmet's long lost sibling or something?

Well....... I understand "Where" you're coming from yet know many comps are like this. Also realize when a comp is setup it certainly won't be to everyone's liking and this time around at least it's not to yours. Look around, there is almost always a comp going on that's more or less geared to what you are looking for in terms of competition.

Nah - More like set it, walk away, check on it every so often and get the validation when it's done. Seriously that's what I did. BTW you haven't seen my recently made watertower I've been using for these runs have you? Looks like crap but it works. Hosted on my channel.

Maybe you'll have a thought sometime later on this, I know you've worked on this enough as is and that is appreciated.

Hmmm.... I checked and noted the only chip with the model designation of 4800 within socket 939 is the Toledo, Brisbane and Windsor both being AM2 chips and these three are the only ones that appears under the "4800" model query. Perhaps if it could somehow use what socket is being ran to help with this? I know it can read the socket, chip's codename and board model at least. Just trying to make a suggestion that could possibly help with this and improve the bench overall - Hopefully it may give you a thought or an idea of somekind.

I know you're making it better and thanks for the work you've put into this! :ws: Perhaps there is a way to get the bench to use CPU-Z info while CPU-Z itself is opened for the screenie, I dunno but just a thought. Anyway you are right, editing is fine by me and I was having a real issue trying to get the site to edit the entry. Didn't want a mod coming along and nailing me over a sub I coudn't edit in time to correct the error before they saw it.

I'm not going to win ANYTHING by competing since it's a solo effort from me concerning my team yet I'm in a few of the stages. And why do you say W9 and OCN has already won prizes? With respect: Correct me if I'm wrong with that but it looks that way from what you said and this one isn't over yet you know. As for the brat reference you're way off base with the guys from both teams. BTW I was a member of the W9 contingent back when we were Team CP and can directly say prizes were never our motivation for competing, it was about doing our best as I'm doing now all on my own. No chance in hell of winning anything yet I'm still in where I can be with what I do have. Nothing wrong with that and maybe it will attract new competitors, maybe your team will succeed and do just that. I will say if you're doing it for the prizes and nothing else you've missed the point of it all. I know some do it for those reasons and that's fine, however it's supposed to be about the spirit of competition itself in measuring up to the challenge.

I don't know why but when I sub the data file it keeps calling my X2 4800 Toledo a Brisbane chip which it's obviously not. Bones`s HWBOT x265 Benchmark - 4k score: 0.3 fps with a Athlon 64 X2 4800+ (Brisbane) When I try to edit the entry I get a white screen saying something about the entry being edited in the browser header but it doesn't actually do it. Root of the issue is the misidentification of the chip. Thanks in advance for checking this. EDIT: Finally got it to do the edit of the sub but the misidentification issue still needs addressing at some point.

Thank you for taking care of it.

Cinebench - R11.5 overclocking records @ HWBOT Says it all with an obviously lower score being shown in 1st. Thanks!

Eh - I believe we'll have a new category called "Glacier cooling" if he does this..... No way I'd believe it's all on air with all that ice around. BTW do let us know how long one of those will last for a benching session.

I'll throw in - Yes I'm in the apprentice league yet the vast majority of what I've been doing is still on water with plenty of subs to back that up including all of my recent subs. In fact I don't believe I've benched with DICE for awhile now. I also don't have the "Northern Advantage" working for any benefit yet I have and still manage to beat subs done on all forms of cooling from air to LN2 while benching my hardware on water. I'll just say it - You're looking to score E-Z points and they're not coming your way. Just get over it already. Although I do wish maybe one day I could give LN2 a try ain't happening anytime soon for me and frankly I LOVE being able to beat guys with more extreme forms of cooling. I know I can't speak for anyone else but as for myself - I do enjoy the challenge of it. It forces me to do better, improve and to keep pushing things to the limit.... And that's not a bad thing. Whether you like it or not the site isn't here to comform to your personal expectations of.... Anything. Either accept the fact we're all lumped into the same boat or bail.

Excellent work! This is something you don't see everyday, here or anywhere else - Kudos for the hard work and the win in that stage! :ws:

You may want to consider one of these: NANO USB Programmer for PC M/B BIOS repairing with Economic shipping. | eBay Got myself one and it's been a lifesaver, easy to use and it isn't dependent on standard BIOS flashing routines which can block writing anything to the chip - Makes doing the job a snap. The links for it's software are further down on the same page, you just have to download and put it to use. If you decide to get one, make sure you insert the chip correctly and it should be able to erase and reprogram the chip no prob.

Maybe I'll be able to join in the next 939 comp provided I have what's needed for it per hardware requirements designated..... And the time for it too. Good job done by all!

Thanks!

Shows a slower run from the same user for both 32 and 1024M WPrime as being in first with faster runs ranked beneath. An obvious database bug of some kind, no cheating being implied here just the errors as they are.

Classic....

Saw that happen too with file extraction from the zip file. Extracted the folder on my DD and sent it to a flashdrive, took the drive out to the shack and copied it to the bench setup. ATM it's working again so I guess I've finally got it sorted.... Until next time of course.

If you disabled some services in the OS from starting that will cause it, these are mainly web related services - I'm not exactly sure which ones they are but I've ran into this after disabling some and re-enabling them solved it. If you slimmed down the install then you may have to run a standard OS install until you figure out exactly what services it's wanting and retweak the OS copy you are using for this bench. I ran into this not more than an hour ago and that's how I figured it out, at least what I had causing it - I"m just not sure ATM which ones it is specifically but I will figure it out eventually. EDIT: As you said, scratch that last. I just did a complete reinstall of the OS without changing anything in the install, GPU drivers installed and all was the same as the last time it ran fine yet it threw the error this time around. It's almost like either 939 just has a hard time with it or something - Really hard to say.

Waaaaay off topic to a place we don't ever want to go.....

This is the one I'm referring to: Asgarth`s GPUPI for CPU - 100M score: 3min 35sec 772ms with a Pentium D 820 No CPU-Z tabs at all in the screenie as required. With this entry I can't really say except there is no screenie at all with it, if it has the required file with the entry itself I'm sure you'd see it but there is no indication of it's existence so it needs checking at least. Asgarth`s GPUPI for CPU - 1B score: 48min 48sec 628ms with a Pentium D 820 Thanks!

This isn't the Vogons forum or a competition being hosted by them. As if your singular, personal opinion would make any difference with planning the layout of the comp..... Because it doesn't. With this last you made and proved the case for your comments to mean nothing but pointless trolling, since the comp won't concern you in anyway what you have to say is useless dribble and nothing more. In short - Butt the **** out already.

Cloud Run`s PiFast score: 21sec 470ms with a FX-9590 Noted this and the results of it just doesn't add up compared to all other results in the same category, this entry to me looks suspicious and needs to be reviewed.

Well done Mr. Scott! :woot:
