Not exactly sure if this would be the right place for such a thread and it's not a voltmod I'm asking for..... But anyway here goes. I'm trying to redo some MOSFETs on a board and I cannot find any real technical info on the ones I'm trying to replace - The part numbers from the MOSFETs I have I'm using but so far I've come up with nothing. Trying to find a direct replacement also seems to be a real pain, haven't found anything on that part of it either. Getting an equivalent MOSFET per specs would work fine but trying to find a place to start so I don't drop in a piece that will do more harm than good isn't going so well. The MOSFETs in question are for the CPU circuit of a board I'm working on and this is the info I have on these. MOSFETs are manufactured by Alpha and Omega according to the mark before the part number itself. These are the two pieces I need to redo the power circuit: D414 BE5Y2P D412 BE555A Thanks in advance guys.

I'm hoping I can explain it well enough myself. OK - With benchies that can/do utilize each individual core such as Cinebench, WPrime and the like, down coring (Switching off cores) isn't allowed since each core in use affects the results of the bench. It's done that way to avoid issues (Cheating) with folks trying to sneak in a better model core/chip by passing it off as a lesser model with less cores. For benchies such as Super PI, the number of cores makes no difference and has no impact on the results so you'll see folks switching off cores with that bench for example. As you probrably know AMD AM3 chips are the ones that tend to unlock so increasing the number of cores (Upcoring) based on chip model is actually OK. I've done that with a few including a 555BE ran as a quad core, my 960T Zosma ran as both a 5 and 6 cored chip but again, it's illegal to run it with less than 4 cores (Downcored) unless the results based on core count won't be affected. The stock number of cores for the chip as it was sold is the standard related to this. You can always unlock it and run it that way but with Cinebench being the example here, you cannot run it with less than the stock number of cores your chip is spec'ed for. If you should have a 6 cored chip such as a 1090T, you'll have to run them all with that bench, if you should have a chip like my 960T, anything from it's stock 4 cores to a fully unlocked 6 cored chip is OK - If it will unlock in the first place. The above applies with any bench that the number of cores affects the outcome or result. I hope this helps a little and if not there are others here that's probrably better than I about explaining it correctly - Just ask, they should chime in if need be. AND...... If I got it wrong in whole or part, we'll both learn something.

While I was browsing through the database I noted the DFI NFII LanParty Ultra A isn't listed, would like for it to be added to the database please.

FYI; Clearly not valid because you don't have any CPU-Z tabs shown and the Asus utility doesn't take the place of CPU-Z. You must always have at least the tabs for your CPU and RAM speeds/timings shown. Not against the rules to use the utility for tweaking but you cannot base your displayed hardware info purely on it in your screenie, CPU-Z must be used. As for Win 10, don't know about that but I'd suggest XP for best results and to be "Legal" from an allowed OS standpoint.

Thanks for the link Newlife - I will check that out. As for OC'ing it, maybe I'll get lucky and the kernel I do have will allow it.

Looks like someone already brought the fail-sauce....

Yes we do and thank you for doing this. I do have a question or at least I'm trying to get the idea on how it's done straight here. I noted in the Socket 754 HOF as an example, the #1 DDR RAM frequency listed was at 371.300MHz and #2 on the list is at 274.900MHz - I do have a 754 sub in this category that's higher than the #2 spot: http://hwbot.org/submission/2247289_bones_memory_clock_ddr_sdram_308_mhz but does not have any HW points with it since my Socket 939 DDR result trumps it. : http://hwbot.org/submission/2566030_bones_memory_clock_ddr_sdram_377.1_mhz I have to assume this is done in this way due to whether it currently has hardware points with it or not and the HW points are what makes it count for being in the list. Is this correct? Also noted with all HOF listings WPrime entries along with Cinebench results aren't listed (Yet) I have to assume but if not, no biggie. Once again thanks for doing this.

Point taken - Guess this one is a lost cause. However I'm not worried, honestly I hardly ever use it anyway but it does work well for what it was designed to do. I'll just find something else to mess around with.

To get some of the benchies to run they must have root access or they won't work along with proggys for OC'ing it in the first place. I've looked around and from what I can tell ( I'm not very knowlegeable about rooting as you can tell ), you have to have a kit that works with the device the OS is installed on. Plenty of these for obvious makes and models but for a DB Power tablet, there's basically nothing out there for it since it appears to be an obscure brand. I haven't changed anything from the specs shown above, all is still the same.

I can understand your thoughts/concerns over this subject. Those of us that don't have access to the "Good" stuff being made to go up against those that do is unfair from several points, yet to say they don't deserve what they've earned isn't fair either. The pieces of hardware they used didn't tweak themselves - They had to do it, set it up and all - That does take experience and the simple know how to do it at all. Those same guys could do very well without these cherry-picked examples too. Related to teams, my team as mentioned has no sponsored members or even any Elite classed benchers yet we've worked our way into the top 5. We bench any and everything we can get our grubby paws on for good reason and it does pay off. While I do feel your pain in having to go up against those guys at the same time I feel privileged to be able to and even on occasion beat one or two of them. I can say if I had the same or close to the access they have I could do much better than I do now and even be a real PITA in the rankings for many here but I don't, my results from for example the 5 GHz 32M Super PI comp is an example that I could. However with my recent health issues and the lack of funds due to the bills associated with these current issues I'm not able to spend the money on stuff like many here can. Time would be another restraint with having to deal with all of this and hold a job too, it's a real struggle at times to simply hold a job with all this going on yet I do and I still find time somewhere to do a few runs. That's how it's been for me and why I haven't been so active as of late yet I still continue on. Each person's situation is unique and does have an effect yet we all knew going in it was like this and that's just how it is. You'll never have a system that's 100% "Right" so just manage the best you can - It's what I have to do.

No, straightup result on H2O with good ambient temps at the time of the run.

I don't think this one's done just yet..... It just keep going and going and going.

Will this be a case match?

I'm down with that.

I like this setup overall too but with a tweak or two thrown in. Rookie League - 6 months. Ambient cooling techniques only. Move onto Enthusiast league after 6 month period. Enthusiast league - For those not wishing to move into Extreme League, no sub-zero cooling methods. Extreme League - For those starting out with sub-zero, no LN2 but all else applies such as DICE or SS. Also for those not wanting to run LN2 or may not have access to LN2 or equipment (Such as lack of a Dewar, those things are expensive you know). Once a sub-zero entry is made, bencher is automatically bumped up into this league from lower leagues with the exception of an LN2 sub, then the Semi-Pro league requirements kick in if that's the case. Semi-Pro League - Unlimited cooling including LN2 - Once an LN2 sub is made, you are automatically bumped up into this league from the lower leagues regardless of which league you were in when the sub was made. Pro League - For those people who are "uber leet". While I do understand bumping folks up after a given amount of time, there is also a limit to how far this can go - Some of us would never be able to have a setup for LN2 and even a few that would remain as water or air only. Moving up from the Enthusiast league to higher leagues should be up to the bencher but anything that's sub-zero will bump them up from Enthusiast to Extreme period as it more or less is now. If it's an LN2 entry, that's a bump right up into the Semi-Pro league, no questions asked. I"ll throw in if you want to voluntarily move up into a higher class, go for it. No, this isn't perfect either but I do recognize that LN2 is more or less in a class of it's own with very few entries with water, SS or DICE beating or even matching LN2 entries overall. Just my 2 cents about it.

I have a DBPower tablet that I'm not able to root so I can bench it. Has the Android 4.2 OS that it came with, the CPU is an Allwinner A31S Quad core. Here's a link to the tablet in question: http://www.dbpow.com/dbpad.html Information on this one has been all but non-existant but if anyone does know where I can get what I need to root the tablet, it would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Nice one!

I can relate. Once I was experimenting with using DICE like ice cubes in my coolant, took about ½ of a bottle of left-over everclear and some anti-freeze to keep it from freezing. Had some nice coolant temps going but worked the hell out of my pump with it trying to slush up. I believe temps were in the -30c range before it actually began freezing up so controlled it with the amount of DICE I added. Was an interesting experiment and showed me how difficult it is to have liquid cooling with sub-zero temps but it is possible. Is it still water? I guess but then again with all the other stuff..... Especially the everclear.

Ah - Now it makes proper sense. Haven't got the hang of the new comp screens yet and that why I missed it. Took forever it seemed to get to the proper page once I did find it with this info on the rankings.

Just wondering about something here. In Div IV, I know Intel and AMD chips are allowed and that's OK but since Intel will definitely dominate this part of the comp, what's the point of even running an AMD in it? Would make sense if out of the five best entries per country, one has to be an AMD sub so the AMD guys could at least compete in some way or have an impact. I know the comp is what it is but running an AMD in this is useless to do and a waste of time and effort. I do own an Intel so it's not that I'm griping about it, I can run it if I want but to me it just seems odd to include something that stands no chance of well... Doing anything that would make a difference in this. I looked over the rules for it and the way it is ATM, Intels will determine the outcome with any AMD entries being a null factor.

Thanks! Currently setting it up with XP for some runs to be done... Not exactly soon as slow as it's gonna be but I'll get them done.

I might have asked earlier but cannot recall if I did or not. Doesn't show up in the database for motherboards. Have an entry with it already from sometime ago: http://hwbot.org/submission/1023845_bones_wprime___32m_pentium_1_120mhz_26min_38sec_879ms Would like for this model to be added please and here's a link for more info on the board model in question, the page also has other links with info on the board. As for other info I can add, it has the SiS5571 chipset and is also a Socket 7 board but will obviouly run a Socket 5 chip too. http://support.premiopc.com/faqs/219hfaq.htm Thanks!

Made a little progress. Need more CPU-NB speed to really get things going, won't be doing much more on water. http://hwbot.org/submission/2650491_

I'll give it a shot within the next few days. Have some new RAM sticks coming in and I hope the system runs well with them. If not..... Oh well.

Good to know Antinomy.
