Do you score bonus points if you have a piece of hardware Gigio doesn't have? I have a Premio 219-H MB Socket 7 board with the 5571 SiS chipset. Here's a link I found to what the board is with some stuff on it as well. I also used it for an entry here sometime ago, don't know if it was ever added to the database. http://support.premiopc.com/faqs/219hfaq.htm Nice collection Gigio!

Thanks Christian. Hopefully you'll find something useful that will solve this and let all of us finally get back to benching these A's without having to worry about it. I know the older versions are accepted for now due to this problem but validations with Socket A are problematic for many of us wanting to run these setups.

This has been an ongoing issue since version 1.60 came out. Locks up the entire system when you try to open CPU-Z to get the required tabs for a screenie, this issue is making it impossible to use the latest version for.... Well... Anything Socket A related, including CPU speed validations. If it's truly a requirement to run the latest version of it for your screenies, that would make a fix for it all the more important, or at least a way to make it work. I've tried it with several mainboards and CPU's; In every single instance so far it has failed, always locking up the system when the dialogue box says "Processors" while starting the program. I'll just say it - With the amount of time that this has been a known problem, just seems to me this issue has been ignored. I do know some have found a way to make it work or at least some kind of workaround. Whatever was changed to make the program different from ver 1.59 vs ver 1.60 and later is the apparent cause of it. Some have said simply making a change to the config file would fix it, others have said to use the install version, then change the config file and yes, I've tried every way I can think of to get it to work but it doesn't. Could it be something that's board model specific? My AN7's, NF7's, A7M 266-D and A7N's will not work with the program. I have noted some models such as the DFI LanParty Ultra B's have ran it with success. How about it guys.... Is there a real fix for this we can rely on or just forget it?

Personally I woudn't mind going. Really depends on where it would be held and probrably not close enough for me to make it with the limited spare time I have. Not to mention work has been beyond wide-open related to how busy we are and I'm so far behind, I'll never see daylight again it seems. However if it's close enough, well... You never know. I do know if it were held here, you guys would have access to the local casino and maybe win more than just a contest.

I've seen this before with my submissions. When this happens, what you'd need to do with the new entry, simply recalculate your result and that should fix it and give it the correct points and ranking whenever this happens. You'll find the recalculate function directly under the edit and delete functions/tabs for the entry itself. Circled the tab in red so it's easy to see in the screenie.

I too believe it's possible BUT how many PCI based cards can actually run it? I woudn't believe too many could since PCI cards based on a much older style slot are being phased out in favor of PCI-E slotted cards and production of PCI cards isn't what it used to be by any means over the last few years at least. That would mean the PCI based models capable of it will be very few so pickings of what cards available to use might pose a problem if really wanting to go for it in this category, esp if having to shop around for one. Maybe some folks here could do some testing and see because I just don't see the playing field within this category being too competitive as it looks ATM. I could be wrong and maybe there are several that can and I do understand that but believe it is a valid question to be asked as in "Are you sure about this" or somewhere along those lines from a competitive standpoint. Hoping I'm wrong and maybe things will turn out it won't be a real problem with it.

Please add this CPU to the database. Thanks! http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?CPUID=36474 http://valid.canardpc.com/4fgts7

While browsing I noted a mix of 9600 Phenom chips being in the same class as 9600 BE chips with entries shown, no actual 9600 BE class seems to exist that I can tell - I've seen the 9600 and 9600B classes pop up with a search but no 9600 BE class popped up at all. I know the 720 and 720 BE chips for example are indicated as separate classes with the BE chips having a clear advantage, hence these being in different classes. Could it be the "B" class was supposed to be the BE class? I know there were B versions of the 9600 to correct the errata bugs in earlier versions and was thinking this was the case here with the 9600 B class itself. Probrably an oversight but it's my thought this needs to be corrected to keep things fair.

Please add the Xeon L5240 to the database please. Thanks!

That worked, thanks for the help.

These chips are already in the database yet I can't get the correct category for it to come up. I can get a desktop 3000+ Clawhammer to appear in the box but cannot do this for the mobile version of this chip. The exact chip affected is a Socket 754 Mobile Athlon 64 3000+ Clawhammer CPU. Thanks!

Finally! Some Socket 754 action I can dig!

Feels good to be back at it guys.

No, you don't need a web connection to run WPrime. What's happening is one of your OS processes has been stopped that WPrime needs to function properly. I don't know what you are stopping that's process related when you set things up but that's what it is, I've seen this many times before myself to know when I was doing the same with my stuff. Mind you it's been awhile since I've ran into this and I can't recall the exact process you'd need to leave running (I think it's related to "DHCP" in XP by name in the sys admin process tabs) but best thing would be to leave all processes enabled and kill off these unwanted processes one by one until you figure it out. Might take some time but once you have it figured out, you'll be OK.

Just starting out with this 3770K chip and it did over 5GHz with around 1.41v's used on regular watercooling. I suspect once I do get it cold it will do much better. http://hwbot.org/submission/2480615_ Batch # 3246C530 - Costa Rica

You'll have to be quicker than that! http://hwbot.org/submission/2464584_

Spotted it in the 1M Super PI FX 8320 rankings earlier. There are two entries listed with points by the same user with the same CPU, one of these should have dropped off but it didn't. It's also showing the slower run of the two being ranked higher. http://hwbot.org/submission/2441385_darkage_superpi___1m_fx_8320_14sec_289ms and http://hwbot.org/submission/2444254_darkage_superpi___1m_fx_8320_14sec_180ms The bencher who ran these has done nothing wrong but it's a bug that's affecting the 8320 rankings.

Mission accomplished. http://hwbot.org/submission/2461792_bones_superpi___32m_fx_4300_14min_32sec_859ms

Good job D1nky! Now it's my turn to see if I can top that.

You can try downloading the file at the link I found and follow the installation directions that's on the download page. Hope this helps. http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr100

I keep getting a notification that I've earned three new achievements and they're all the same thing "You gained a new achievement: Use GSKILL memory for at least 50 submissions" and it has done this everytime I have logged in since I earned it the first time.

I didn't do either since I was pressed for time this morning but will let them know about it ASAP or at least get the word out to them about it. EDIT: Shot them a PM.

I discovered it early this morning after I had used the prepopulate function to setup the entry I had for my P4 631 chip. Since I was using the same board and RAM I had previously ran my Pentium D 915 with, I used the function to "Fill in the blanks" except for what was needed to indicate the correct CPU used (P4 631) with the correct speeds and RAM timings. After doing the entry, I saw that I had a Gold trophy - Wait a sec.... This CAN'T be right, no way the entry had scored 1st in that class since the score wasn't high enough to have earned it. So I checked the rankings of the P4 631 chips and noted my entry didn't appear in the rankings BUT was indicated as a best for this chip (#1) within the personal results tab that appears over the category if you're logged in. ???? Went back and doublechecked and realized the prepopulate function had listed my P4 631 as an X2 chip, not an X1 as it should be but was giving me points and all for the entry but it was showing correctly as a P4 631 CPU. I quickly did an edit of the entry and fixed the problem by doing a manual edit and not using the function - Noted someone else had also done this with the P4 631 and had points too in that class - Probrably a mistake as it was with me but it was there. To illustrate the bug itself, I redid the erroneous entry with points disabled so it's not going to affect anything in the rankings and you can take a peek for yourselves: http://hwbot.org/submission/2435592_ This bug has a serious potential for earning "Hidden" points and since it doesn't appear when browsing the hardware category proper, it's all too easy to stash bogus entries for EZ points, skewing the rankings way off and this is not good for benchers trying to do it "Right". This bug needs to be killed and to see how many more of these entries exist in the data base. Once I see a mod reply to this post I'll remove the example entry myself or they can do it, doesn't matter so much to me.

"The best memory" with the worst solder job ever?

Hey - What new stuff? I don't have any new stuff around here..... All of it is at least a week old or more.
