    I don't know if this is intentional or an oversight but previous competitions have had some stupid petty arguments over the validity of rig photos.  Bit pointless to have to deal with people complaining that one person has in good faith posted a photo from the same session but technically at a moment with a different CPU under the pot (and this happens to be revealed by a cpu-z window on the screen), but if someone was actually faking a photo for some bad faith reason it would be very easy to fake.

    It's nice to take and post photos but probably not much use to try and enforce them.

    I would agree, I think the best reason for a rig pic is more so everyone can see your cool setup and frosty pics. As a source of discouraging cheating not so much, we've seen already where rig pics encourage people to think there is score sharing when it's really just a group bench session.

    You do truely struggle to not complain about everything hey

     

    Pretty sure it’s been clear why, just suck it up an move on. 
     

    my body is ready Alby, lets break some shit 

    You really don't get what I'm saying, broadwell is banned because it's rare and performs better than other desktop cpus. However mobile Intel igps that perform better than broadwell are just fine to use. So a valid lineup is 9900k, 6770hq, 4980hq, 7700k is a perfectly valid lineup. It's not like banning broadwell is making it any less reliant on less common igps. I have no problem banning broadwell but if the intent is to avoid hunting rare igps then mobile socket should probably be banned too. 

  3. If you go to the hwbot comp page it says that agp, pci, integrated, hybrid, pcie meaning that you could have a lineup that doesn't use pci at all. If it's intended to use pci then will have to up to 5 subs or drop a gpu socket. If a socket is dropped pcie is probably the most balanced to drop since with no restriction it could be a rtx titan, whereas the max the next fastest socket, integrated, could be is a 3400g.

  4. Yeah I definitely would agree that the best possible score is gonna be to bin ddr3 boards for high bclk. Also remember that there are some subtimings that you still can't set in bios so certain boards have slightly higher ipc than others. For example C4E gets higher 32m scores than C4F, could end up mattering for something like GB3 or even r15.

  5. I was testing stuff just to test then I found this team competition for asus rog and that got me started. I really only show up for the team comps usually but I do like to follow some of the other interesting comps, especially like cheapaz and legacy comps. Other than that benching is honestly kind of a escape from depression/anxiety in much the same things like video games or most other hobbies are for some. When I'm benching things are pretty straightforward with a  clear goal and enough challenge to be interesting. If I get frustrated hopefully I end the session before damage is done to HW :P 

  6. This is great info! I definitely have found that usually you can get higher fsb on 45nm chips around -100c but you also need more cold for more core sometimes so definitely need to bin for good bclk at lower temps, ideally fullpot.

    I don't think you're a "cock"... Don't even really know you man. So..... Don't beat yourself up. 

    Integrity, Optimism, Team before self, and customer focus. 

    I mean the main post of this thread is calling me out on my stance on Linux by mis conflating what I proposed and creating a sort of a strawman by referring to me as "someone" and putting words into my mouth. 

  8. Leeg is a great guy, but saying that Linux is impossibly hard to moderate is silly. If a score is out of line then demand an acronis image of the OS, it's not like the records are set on more than 3 boards anyways. If user won't provide their tweaks to a mod they're cheating and the result is blocked. Ez pz. But that's not the reason for blocking Linux that I read in the conversation that this thread is about. 

    The reason for blocking Linux is a mod personally didn't want to have to do research on Linux os to be able to make competitive results before somebody else does. Or at least that's the way that mods comments read to me.

    Now it is being claimed that the reason for blocking linux is that as a mod you don't want to be looking at a result wondering if it's legit, which is a legitimate complaint although Imho its solved by requiring a system image from questionable results. 

    Anyways it doesn't matter what I say here cause the members of this thread have predecided that I'm a cock. I'm sad to have apparently contributed to leeg leaving, he's a great mod who really cared and that seems to have been his downfall. He cared enough to let the job get to him and there's far too much abuse in the job unfortunately from those like me and from the many. Way too many people getting pissed off when their win 10 results get removed despite never being allowed within the rules, or their cine score with the render is removed, etc. Definitely far too thankless a job.

    I won't be touching the old ATI Stream stuff with a stick. I've worked with it many years ago and it's really really buggy and also very slow. Maybe it was just me, but I thought that GPUPI won't be possible at that time and gave up. As for DirectX and OpenGL compute shaders, that would be a possible way to enable support for these two iGPUs. I've put it on my list, right below Vulkan compute support, which is something I wanted to look into for some time now.

    Would the same trick also work for those ATI Stream gpus as for intel? I know they wouldn't be very fast but neither is intel igp. Even on lake igp it takes days to get a 32b score.
