Looks like there may not be an IMC cold slow on raven ridge

Must be a board thing, on my soc 1.775v or even higher can be set no problem. Of course it has other issues with OCing the igp...

I've never known of a button to recalculate individual scores, I've always just dropped ?recalculate=true at the end of the url and loaded that page.

Definitely, it's just annoying when after spending hours to finally get the board to train something reasonable for mem timings as well as dealing with broken igpu multiplier control it no longer can boot, even at stock. POSTs just fine and sees the ssd in bios though, so no idea what could be wrong with it. But this board has always done what it wants. Then if we go back to June for the Master Your Ryzen I had a k7 that also did what it wanted. Main issue for me was the board could not successfully change bclk at all, even 101 would not post. Also it wasn't clocking mem very well, which is strange for a giga board. Then when I reached out to gigabyte RMA department their response was essentially "Silicon lottery bruh", which is kinda BS considering that the same chip had no issues changing bclk or running better mem settings on my ch6. Ended up giving that board away so that I didn't snap it in half. But I guess here I am being the stereotypical OCer complaining about everything and it's not like I haven't seen quirks on asus boards, including murderous tendencies. I think the best conclusion is that if you spend enough time with a board, especially on cold, you will hate something if not most things about it.

Well my soc has now forgotten how to boot even at stock, so we'll see if I get to sub. Tbh, I've got to say my experience overall with this abomination of a board has been awful besides that. But that's what giga comps are for, to remind me never to buy gigabyte if I can avoid it. Always seem to have some weird ass problems every giga comp I think I'll participate in. So I'm out, good luck to everyone else!

I think a more accurate term for myself would be procrastibagging.

There are literally no findings. Literally just saying clock higher. I had a hard time realizing how you have such a hard time with something that's the equavalent of telling someone to git gud, until I realized that the person took my advice, got gud, and beat your score. Is this how you respond every time someone beats you?

You realize that I literally just reported it for being in the wrong category so it could be moved to the correct category right? It's not like that will result in it being taken down or missing from the comp. I don't understand why people get pissed off when they sub under the wrong category then it gets moved to the right category. It's not like you messed up your screeny and your sub got taken down.

Lol, giving information on how to OC something? Man such classified sekrets. If you don't want to share whatever super classified sekrets you have feel free, but I'm not about that lyfe. The OC community is just that a community, not sharing tweaks, especially when they're just "OC harder", kills the community and is generally why it's in the state it is now. It's not like I was sharing the fact that lower desktop res = higher score or any actual tweak like that. If you know how to get any other tweaks like lod or something similar going lemme know after the comp, I will be very interested. I know that all the stuff like triple buggering lowers score in my testing, as well as trying to do something illegal like lowering anistropy or aa through the driver. So afaik it's truly a tweakless gpu and I like that. No bullshit, just OC harder. Acting like I'm not benching for this too, lol. My soc is just being a little shit so it needs some taming which is taking time.

Yes, looks like I should learn to scroll up

I think that's too soon. Maybe for getting started subbing. But definitely don't want to hit submit until <60 seconds before end. I know I've had subs like that before in a comp, although that was due to procrastibagging and the bench wasn't done running until 5 minutes before end of comp...

There are basically no software tweaks for intel igp. It's literally just about outclocking. Although if you're running kabylake make sure you run win 8 or win 10 cause the win 7 driver sucks.

This is why I stick to acool blocks, no need to get a different block for every socket, and mounting can even be changed without opening the loop.

Could you run some benches to verify the performance is there? I've seen some people on reddit who have modded bios to get cfl working and it even seems they can OC according to cpuz, however they score like stock.

The secret is high igpu clocks. Also ram makes a huge difference as well as cache. So if you're not running 1:1 cache with your 5 ghz cpu as well as 4000 12-11-11 then you've already lost. Also you're gonna need 1600+ mhz on the igpu on an 8700k.

I have titan v and 1800x, can I sub for stage 2???

There is pcmark that is a cpu benchmark on hwbot, and 3dmark that is a gpu benchmark on hwbot. Make sure you submit for the correct benchmark. Other than that switching to http usually resolves issues with links as for some reason https causes issues.

You should try reading the news 3.3 is not allowed.

I think that was part of an update. Basically a minimum amount of pts, probably was only supposed to apply to scores within for pts rankings but depending how it's implemented could result in all scores being worth at least some pts.

I think this makes the big difference. When I first heard about the speed up in his initial announcement it sounded like it was because he implented avx and some other things. Which would be the same as new xtu version. However this is just fancy coding and not implementing a new instruction so it can't be the same bench. Although it could also just be that matty doesn't have piles of money to throw at the bot...

I mean originally I thought it was just supporting new instructions which is the same as new xtu versions. But now it seems that it's just more efficient code, which I'm not sure about. Either way, if we're moving this direction the sooner the change is made the better. I take the quick and painful approach to band aids myself.

New xtu versions support new instructions that favor new hw and also score worse on old hw. This is the same thing, the new version of the bench supports new instructions so it will be faster if you can use that instruction. As for the difference in speed on gpus, yeah that seems questionable.

This is no different than a new version of XTU and for some reason those are allowed every year. Perhaps _mat_ should throw some money at hwbot to make this complaining go away? Seems to work for intel...

Good point about diagnostic mode, I exclusively run in diagnostic mode since I realized that you do not in fact need any audio services working for it to run successfully.
