Memory restrictions? I can try to get a zhiaxin or whatever the Chinese ryzen cpu is lol Hmm I like this one, although it gets expensive fast and and hwbot doesn't really have a storage bench worth using plus the whole sata 850 Evo "driver" issue...

Tbh it'd probably be fine, there was a am3 cinebench stage with no thuban allowed, and the team I was on was the only one to show up with all 6 core cpus. So we'd still see plenty of 1st gen phenoms

Is there more than 1 dual core deneb on the socket?

I like it, just open ended to allow a ton of different hw while also basically specifying we see what we normally don't.

I mean how hard would it be to just say no 1151, no 3rd gen ryzen? So total stack would be like no 939, 775, 1150, 1152, or 3rd gen ryzen. Still pretty simple and allows for decent scores but no wr/gfp

Or for a bunch of fun just say am2+ and see people hunt down the few deneb chips while still getting a mainly 1st gen phenom stage. Could be a nice continuation of the "am3 no thuban" cinebench stage from two years ago.

I like this idea, could we also add a section for misc benches? So we could things like a classic "ddr1-2-3-4 mem frequency" or a dog pile stage with no mem restrictions either on something relatively easy to run on slightly older hw or for a dx9 3d bench. Basically any stage that wouldn't fit into a single mem type well would go into misc category. Also would be good as I think more than one dog pile stage overall is probably too much.

Ycruncher 10b uses over 40gb of ram, so on most platforms you need to use a 64gb kit, 48gb of ram is probably the minimum. If you don't have enough ram you can configure it to use disk either through a page file or the better way swap mode. http://www.numberworld.org/y-cruncher/guides/swapmode.html The nice thing about swap mode is you don't need to configure a proper raid, just point it to the drives you want to use and it will do its own sort of raid without needing to overwrite other data you might have on your drives.

You must also follow the rules for the benchmark on hwbot, competition page rules are additional rules. https://hwbot.org/news/887_application_15_rules/

Huuuuuuge score! Bet nobody on the bot has the will to beat this one any time soon

Apparently SS is not the way to go for sandy, bclk scaled all the way up.

Backup found on old install

Backups are fine, it's just resubbing existing scores that's not okay

Lol you guys are agreeing with me, like I said it is the wrong way to approach but I don't think he did it for cheating, I still think there are much better ways to approach this. For example he should've made a thread, and since afaik he doesn't have the reputation for bitching that I do it may actually have been listened to.

Eh I believe he did it because he was frustrated by it never properly being addressed. Doesn't mean it was the right way to go about it. Similar to how there is one bench I could probably take gfp in "undectibly" and get loads of pts without much effort and mods do nothing about it. Difference is delly didn't just accept nothing was gonna happen. Imho he was too drastic in forcing the hand of mods but I understand why.

Indeed, that's how one of my ud4p died. But I should've known better than to gravity mount a pot when the hole spacing was wrong for my backplate, pot slid off the chip while it was running and I think the nb fried.

Idk, I feel like it would be about the same as if I posted a gfp in a certain bench I know the cheat for because it continues to have pts after tell mods that cheat is undectible. But I would be banned for that, which is also why I probably can never post even a legit gfp in that particular bench from now on. BTW not saying that delly should be banned for this, I just think it's an extreme way to expose a problem.

Does it help from dropping channels or is that only ever a thing on unganged? I know when I didn't know about using ganged mode 2v vdimm and maxing vddr on my c5f gave me a few more bclk in dual channel.

Did you tried d9gt? It always seemed high vdimm helped either with bclk or keeping channels from dropping which is why hypers are better for me, but I haven't tried d9s which should have higher voltage

This enthusiast league is a joke Imho because few bad apples spoil the batch. Before moving up to apprentice I considered trying to get 1st in enthusiast and scrapped that idea because somebody could just cheat their cooling and be impossible to prove.

Do you have a cpuz?

I think requiring extra stuff is stupid, personally I don't give a shit about my seasonal ranking so if I happen to sub outside of a comp I think I shouldn't be penalized for that. Obviously I assume if you use a 2020 comp background you won't need any other verification of year the bench was done

Windows 10 is not allowed for superpi on this platform

Already been asked, basically the comp engine doesn't allow it so they will be manually removed. Probably after end of comp
