  1. Ha! So here are ya OCers discussing what the heck went wrong with League participants, aye?
    Oh well, I tell ya.
    Three ways there are to start overclokin' mates:
    1. Need of computing power 
    2. Curiosity (what can one achieve with his new build)
    3. People want to show off with their new build or want to compare it with others. 

    99.9% of them will do it on some kind of ambient cooling at the beginning.

    Well the first one doesn't even need to participate although may want to compare against others.
    Results:  if there was someone with extreme cooling who took his model of CPU to bench it - > "you're a dumbass. He has 100 + points. You have 2.1 or 1 point. Go away silly bastard!"

    The second one will have the same slap on that happy face. Curiosity fulfilled :) 

    Third one? Oh. He will add his 3-5 results and... maybe he'll not delete account in shame. Maybe.

    Why is it like that? Some of You jumped at me when I asked Is there a fun being Enthusiast OCer still.

    Now think about it. I made on ambient 4.425GHz with 3970x. There are no better scores for this CPU with ambient cooling. And... I got nothing. No points almost at all.
    Now go for any decent web portal to check this CPU review - 4.15 -4.25 - max for them. 4.3 at one I think there was - booted but unstable.

    So for destroying almost anything about this CPU on ambient, Enthusiast, Rookie and Novice Overclocker will get zero points almost or as one may say - points of shame.  

    Now. I will try to do best scores with 3950x...  What say ya? Will there be a point for me? Or for anyone who will be best in ambient cooling with it? 
    Who will totally overcome portals reviews? 

    No. 

    There will be no points. 

    You were talking about prizes. Nobody cares too much. People want their results to matter. Not being slapped in the face by : you are not a real overcloka! You can shove this build of your in tha ass. 

    At the beginnig of this year I wanted to finish with HWBOT. But I stayed because it is comfortable for me to compare my achievements of regulating hardware with others. |
    And as this is mostly only one portal like it, I will stay. But you know what? 

    With 3950x  I will not sit like 3 days to get the best possible scores. Why? Because now I know - we, Enthusiast will get almost same amount of points for whole set of this CPU benchmarks - 10-15 max. 20 pts for a guy with best binned chip. ;) 

    That's how you're killing passion in people by destroying points for Enthusiasts. 

    Oh. yes! There is this 0.01 % who will start with Extreme OCing and maybe half gets nice results and stays.
    So there are two guys  like this per year. Awesome. 

    Told ya. Verification enhancement. Cooling types divided: EXtreme (LN2, LHe etc), Sub Zero :Dice, SS, Phase , Ambient Air, LC  - or similar. 
    Points from Extreme, especially sponsored subs cant make a gap for Enthusiasts. That's crazy.

    Pal why link me? Real life & fucken hard work has me away from my loved Warp9 team & overclocking. So more focus

    You are not typical demographic Enthusiast overclocker. Your hardware is not typical store bought parts. Server cpu cannot be bought.

    OR I'd try whoop ya ass with it.

    Tell me where to buy corporate processors. :| Cant find these things turbo all cores. NOT Retail

    http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/corporation.html

    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Please not refer to yourself as enthusiast overclocker. You buy expensive parts " pay to win " OR benefit in a pc shop.

    Maybe your boss bangs the secretary. While you bench x4 2080ti's for scores. Ha you other enthusiasts have that arsenal

    Who buys 3960x threadripper doing 100 global point scores " that part was OK " then expects 3970x will do the same? o.O 

    Called the HWbotty points cliff. I mean come on over $5000AU to do enthusiasts scores. LN2 has smashed it to bits straight away.

    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    There is only one guy that needed a good slap for cheating his cooling. PKBO that was done. Please don't refer to enthusiast as ice bucket cheats.

    As to the reference later on volts & heat Adventure POo. That is pain & effort for your hobby. Winter time I sit here -5c doing it.

    To become 1# enthusiast required a complete weekend of doing score for 80 points. Effort is reward all things in life. :) 

    Oh. I new you'd be freakin hard in this discussion.
    1. Server CPUs can't be bought? Allegro(.)pl , ebay(.)com - no problem ;)
    2. I'm a boss. I'm a one man company. I'm making project of workstations. Those are fully mine. (don't have a secretary though :( )
    3. My friends have easy access to cards, CPUs and other stuff, although they're not competing, while they could. 
    4. Well, tell me your cooling setup is also a standard enthusiast cooling type :) 
    5. For me, here in Poland, it's more likely to have a new hardware, than good old hardware to bench. ex: GTX 570, 580, 690- bought them to overclock, cleaned it, changed pastes, changed BIOS - shitty scores. 

    6. I have also a lot of  hardware to make repairs as people are turning to me because I'm known in arch-viz. 
    7. Well, my family would not accept -5C in the kitchen, ahahaha.

    But thank you for you insights and Congrats about 1st place! (You're just pissing me off there :)  really hard )

    Cheers. 



     

  3. Dear OCers. 
    Well, people always tend to push things on their side.
    Please take a look here and read the first post if you missed the point.

    Real talk, can we put a ban on these types of posts? 100% of the time they're posted it becomes a toxic thread of name calling and I've yet to see one of these threads yield anything positive for the community. 

    And believe me I unfortunately know a thing or two about creating toxic threads with no positive biproduct to the forum. 

     

    Damn, North Korea than is a nice place.. @yosarianilives

    This thread is about GAP,  types of cooling and having fun, not frustration over the points.

    I think Enthusiast is broken by some people, almost everyone know it. Its better to minimize LN2 vs other cooling is Made LN2/LHe/Cascade league different than other cooling. The only problem how can we prove it if we use say Dry Ice? How if it use LN2 with temp lets say -90 Celcius? This is the problem. So Elite vs Everybody else league is the only solution right now i think.

    1. No. Elite vs Everyone Else will do no good - there are Extreme OCers with LN2/LHe abilities - this will just prefer them, despite using same cooling as Elite.
    2. I've stated before: In the YT era it might be a good practice to fully enforce video proof. Might be non-public.
    3. Using Benchmate?
    4. I'm not extreme - is there a difference with -90 deg. C on Dry Ice and -90 deg. C on LN2? I truly don't know. Explain please. @speed.fastest

    things like air conditioning that brings the ambient in the room down to an acceptable bench temp where the condensation level is limited

    Well exactly. @Mythical tech  There are things to bring ambient down. Look who do you have from Greece. It's really hot there most of the time. 
    At summer at my home I have an ambient of 30 deg. C but at winter I can go as low as 17 deg. C. 
    But this is still cooling using ambient. With LN2/LHe/ Dice/ Cascade/ Phase you do not need to think about ambient as long as humidity allows top bench.

    I dont get what the hell you are going on about did you see the challenger comps this year they were frequency limited exactly so enthusiasts can be competitive.

    Dont expect the TC or CC to be frequency limited there is already a balance now.

    If you are expecting that there will be different point systems for different leagues for all different types of hardware you are expecting a bit much. This revision slimmed some things down to save on server load I don't see complicating it a whole lot more happening.

    Alby said that there is going to be announcements soon I say wait and see what happens.   

    1. No one on HWBOT have main points for challangers, but yes I do value this change in thinking toward competition for wider audiences. :)
    2. frequency limited TC or CC? - Nope, I don't. Never said anything like it. But the points distribution over type of cooling with video proof - yes.
    3. No, I'm just suggesting that having already split Ambient and Extreme Cooling with different demands about validation, and seeing that new lithography is all about cooling - 
    it is a logic step to take and divide those types of Overclocking and also competitions.
    4. Announcements - Oh... I'm thrilled, las time I dropped a lot of places down ;) Exactly for the gap. @macsbeach98

    Don't get so angry, people.  Anger marrs beauty ;)

    I love overclocking and don't do it on my main rig I actually underclock and undervolt it and use a passive cooler to reduce failure points. Water cooling comes with a risk and some people who just want to have their system to run think that water cooling is just as excessive as ln2. Price is relative, water cooling isn't much better than air in terms of actual real world performance and is quite expensive compared to a entry level air cooler 

    Well, that is a statement made by an overclocker :)
    As for me I'm using XS79 Deluxe with i7-4960X @4.7 and 2133MHz @CL10 Memory as  my main PC. Not getting BSODs, playing games, using Office, working, making videos.

    If it isn't fun then you are doing it for the points which will lead to you burning out. I felt a little burned out so I picked up the cheapest 775 board and grabbed my hyper 212 cooler and am taking with me when I visit family. I am doing it to see how far I can push it with bad hardware. It won't get me points but I will learn a little bit more and I will have fun doing it. Unless you are employed to do overclocking by a company your main focus in my opinion should be fun. I bench a decent amount but don't usually post the results because if I focus on that I will be benching what is popular not what I find fun and eventually I won't find any of it fun.

    No. If you have an access to a new hardware, it should be fun to overclock this. I've already mentioned scavenger thinking. It's your point of view. Mine is: we challenge ourselves with the new hardware on great cooling and we will see who can OC it best. Not: we have to find an old hardware....
    I give a really much less duck about old hardware. I want to compete with new. You like Old Scholl. Great. I want Enthusiast League to be fighting on new hardware.
    You don't believe in OC on daily basis - you problem. I made 500+ workstations in OC. Working for more than 4 years now. 
    Old School is Old School. Enthusiasts should have a possibility to fight on new hardware. 

  5. So @Mr.Scott and @Mythical tech    think it's so hard to build cascade phase change or buy a chiller than?
    That's a bit pathetic. Well my dear OCers it's not. It's just like getting a totally different difficulty level. 
    Enthusiasts are playing on Nightmare. Phase and Chillers are playing on Hurt me Plenty and in fact LN2 or LHe are playing on "Hey, not too rough" and after a year or two it's straight "I'm too young to die" .

    All I wanted you to see is that core count changes, lithography changes, and Enthusiast will no longer participate in new CPU benches as it will be totally out of fun. 
    I'd just like to have fun playing on a Nightmare again. Not thinking - OK, two guys with LN2 or LHe will kill my efforts totally. 
    That's not fun, that's just nightmare, and it's like playing a game with a cheater with auto aim.

    Well all you statements completely confirms this  - you just want your own points.

    Well bear in mind. I don't want to be compared with Extreme OCers. I want to fight in my own weight class. 
     You feel good that you have won with Enthusiasts in a competition with Phase or a chiller?
    Wow, You're a hero than. But only in Your mind.

    Yeah, that's why I've wrote enthusiast, not Enthusiast. PC holder. Great.

    Enthusiast is a broken league, it took me a long time to get it, i hopw you will do eventually.

    As for those type of people who buy some nice shining hardware and they are not pleased for the 2 points they are getting, this hobby is not for them.

    Look at nachtfalke,poparamiro, vadimua, infrared and others which can be good in any league you put them, and most important they enjoy what they are doing. A great overclocker is the one who enjoys what he is doing, no matter the points and through this obtains good results in his conditions.

    Oh yes, but it's leading in numbers one. And we could all learn a lot from this one. Fight here is much more competitive and true, but it is burning out.

    Am I not an overclocking enthusiast by your standards because I only really have one platform for benching or that my cooling method isn't really 24/7 ready? Leagues say nothing of skill or dedication to learning how to overclock. I am not trying to start an argument I am just giving my thoughts on the subject. 

    Well... enthusiast... yes. :)

  9. 7 hours ago, Mr.Scott said:

    So now you're saying that everybody should only bench 24/7 stable machines?

    LOL. You're looking for personal utopia. You're not speaking for Enthusiasts at all.

    No man, you're still out of my thought. Enthusiast League should use cooling (as we do) for 24/7 usage. 

  10. 9 hours ago, Mr.Scott said:

    You misunderstand. It's not everybody that cheats, but everybody suffers because of their actions.

    It only takes one or two cheaters to ruin it for everybody. That's already a proven fact here for almost a decade.

    Oh no @Mr.Scott I think you misunderstand. The best Enthusiasts here can prove their full clarity by all means. If it will be demanded we'll do it. 
    We don't give a dime about people who cheats. We will eventually find them and bring them to justice. We want our own competition. The security demands might be higher.
    We want our fun and competitive spirit of overclocking back. 
    I'd love to get few of my colleagues into competition,   but seeing the scores... I wouldn't give a duck too.  :)

    Be the best of Enthusiast with a CPU benchmark! Get those 2 points... Wow. Really? I'm so thrilled. Wohhoooa. 2 points. You're so kind!

    Oh. Yes, my young padawan, wisely must you choose hardware for benchmarks. As no points you can get if Extreme can OC it. 

    Oh. Come on. Don't bullshit me you don;t know what I'm saying. 
       

     

  11. Exactly :) Thank You very much @Mythical tech  for this.
    That's what is going on: we, Enthusiasts are mostly using hardware that is not taken by Extreme. We have to choose carefully - if Extreme can do it, we f*cked. What's a fun in that?
    It's not normal overclocking - you take a hardware and squeeze  most of it. It's "choosing hardware that is not interesting for Elite/Extreme/Apprentice. 
    That's not competition :) 
    That's not free and delightful overclocking for points and this is not any direct competition.
    Oh yes. Forgot: "THE ONLY WAY TO OC IS LN2 OR LHe" and everybody else are just scavengers :)

    Nice. But i have noted that those LN2 machines can run 30min-1h and they have to taken care of... well mine can run for weeks,  months years... :)
    99% of people who want's a nice PC would think like to know the real score. Real achievable score that they can achieve when investing in cooling, not the 30 min short run project score.

    Not to be the bad guy, and I could possibly be wrong, so excuse me if so.

    But, did you buy 9900K, 3900X, 3960X, 3970X, boards for them and many more Xeon CPUs or do you just use your clients' machines before they take them?

    Or you bin expensive CPUs to fulfill your clients' needs? 

    Quote

    So now I'm also selling Workstations as AD Venture. My clients are mainly Visualization Artists working in 3ds MAX and using CPU/GPU rendering engines.
    I've also created few WS for scientific purposes - this explains KriegMath Benchmarks at WR.. :)

    How is this exactly fair to other Enthusiast or even Extreme overclockers who buy their hardware on retail prices from the stores?

    Excuse me if my assumptions is wrong, but everyone visiting your profile can come to the same conclusion.


    Oh no. I do buy my stuff on retail prices at stores. It's just that I can keep a lot of it. Yes some times after a year or two I'm selling this stuff.
    No. My clients cant have Sport Overclocking WS - why ? Because it's not always stable. You know what is the difference between Sport OC and 24h/7 OC? 300-400MHz.
    Usually 150mV and about 30 deg. C. 
    My clients are getting from 15-35% faster machines but they're not getting the same as I've scored on HWBOT - it's even in my offer :)

    How is it fair? Well I could get better car... but my passion is OC so I'm investing in hardware. That's what Enthusiast do.
    Invested in products,  made my own cooling, bought a lot of bench tables.
    Like automobile enthusiasts - they buy cars and stuff.
    Is your "Enthusiast guy" is a guy with one rig, one CPU at the time, one GPU... than I'm sorry, I don;t know this guy :)

    I see........o.O

    That is as close to sponsored without being sponsored as you can get. Another loophole that needs attention.

    I'd love to bench on somebody else's dime.

    Oh no my friends :) I do have income from Workstations, and in fact I do own this whole bunch of hardware.
    From Xeons V1 2690 to 2699 v4 
    i9-7980XE , i9-9900K, 3800x,  over 50 CPU for LGA 775/771 
    Whole bunch of Gene. OC Formula, APEX and Deluxe  and now I bought 3960x and 3970x with MSI Pro 10G and Zenith Extreme II   .

    How the hell did you think I made every Challanger in 3 days? 

    You're jealous? Your problem. :)

    Sponsored? Ho ho ho. NO.

    Sponsored is when someone is coming to ya and says I'll give you this and this for free and just make the score, or someone is coming and saying : I'll pay 5000USD, compensate costs od LN2/LHe just do a nice score for me so the portals could write about.


     

  14. 4 hours ago, Mr.Scott said:

    Yes, let us muddy the waters even more by dividing up leagues even further when we can't even positively prove the temp or type of cooling used as it is now.

    Want to see better score and stats?  Up your game.

    There should be only 2 leagues, 

    Pro/sponsored

    and everybody else.

    Cooling method is irrelevant until it can be proven positively that your method is actually used in your subs.


    No. I totally disagree. There is and will be a huge gap between cooling type. 
    And also there is a question of utility of LN2 and LHe and other extreme cooling. 
    This type of OC is an art for art. Nothing else. 
    Enthusiast overclocking is a fun for much wider audience and for much more people.
    You have 4 000 people in Extreme, Elite and Apprentice. 
    24 000 in Enthusiast and they're going away due to the fact that fun has been lost.

    You want more proof than pics and benchmate? Demand short video for even only one of records - that the machine is working on such cooling and that proves that the rest is true.
    For over 3 years I'm adding pictures, and holding videos for 2 weeks to a month when doing Challenger. Videos can be uploaded on YT. You can demand link to this video for every Enthusiast benchmark score. 

    Dear Mr. Scott,  don't let paranoia that everybody wants to cheat kill the fun of overclocking. 
    Because for now I think it does. 

     And remind me: whats the difference between a guy who has it's own garage and OCes with LN2 for years and sponsored guy OCing for few? They're scores might be similar and result never achievable by standard LC / Air cooling. 
    I don't see any point in that only two leagues. Pointless and without any logic purpose. 

    Prove me wrong.

  15. Hi OCers! 
    @Massman @Leeghoofd @_mat_ @der8auer @NATA 58 @avalanche @ksateaaa23 @Mat_Agnesi


    I'm an overclocker for a few years now. I worked my way up with hard and long work-just like almost anyone here on top positions.
    But now I'm facing .. we Enthusiasts are facing very depriving situation: GAP.
    The points are distributed in such a horrible way that Enthusiast overclocking is slowly making no sense at all.

    Today I've made a lot of scores and submissions with 3970X Threadripper, despite 3 days of testing, regulating and getting such awesome results for a real life usage like rendering,
    Those are scores at almost highest possible levels for LC cooling, and yed despite getting extreeme results brings dissapointment.
     

    I literally will get no point for results here. 
    Two days ago I had beaten almost every score for 3960x - and this points will vanish to almost none right after someone will take LN2 or LH and just try to make some scores. 
    Using the gap between  Extreme and Enthusiast scores which are using totally different cooling systems is a bit of stupidity.
    And now we are facing a total cut of from points - the more cores and lower lithography  the bigger gap between  Extreme an Enthusiasts.

    As Roman showed - almost the same voltage and only difference in temperature - totally different silicone die behavior. 
    I have a few friends who thought they will have fun - because they know a lot about OC and they're having fun with it ... they came to HWBOT,
    got some nice scores... in the meaning of Enthusiast results but not points. And that was the end of them scoring on HWBOT.

    So, to boost up competition on a realistic level there should be division of scores. Full division so even on a chart of the CPU there would be colums
    "Benchmark Name" / WR / WR Enthusiast / Country Record / Country Enthusiast / Team Record / Personal Record.

    Same in Hall of Fame and Rankings. 

    There is a voltage wall and temperature wall for Enthusiasts and no experience can do anything about it.

    Right now HWBOT is being more and more like a marketing tube which is of course totally misleading for unknowing buyers.
    The portals are screaming about new records... and many of my clients are asking will I make a 5GHz+ TR3 AMD for them. 

    The smaller lithography the bigger the gap between Extreme and Enthusiast will be.
    Especially when some scores are sponsored and they are being counted for the gap with Enthusiasts overclocking. 

    I can just hope You will take some actions as this two types of overclocking should be divided. 

    Cheers 

    Peter

  16.  @_mat_ Thank you very much for this long and very explaining answer.

    I have another question though:
    If I want to switch to BM 0.10.5 can I copy my results from old BM "results" folder to a new one? 
    Will it create some problems or can I do It?

    To secure all these processes, BenchMate has to add a security layer to each process. This is normally done only once when the benchmark application is started. On wPrime with Threadripper this has to be done dozens of time. I optimized the hell out of this, but I can do only so much.

    :)

    Oh. You did a great job here _mat_.  
    Sorry I'm just a guy from voltages, coolings and OSes -  I didn't knew as this whole AMD thing is kinda new for me.

    Well I just can't delete those pics. :( I'm trying but they're there forever.

  17. _mat_ reported :) Such a twist. This score is not validated through Benchmate and this will not be, due to the fact that the Benchmate is delaying the results. There can be three scores for the system : without Benchmate running, with Benchmate only On and through the Benchmate. As a matter of fact : best score through Benchmate: 24.056 https://hwbot.org/submission/4308321_adventurepo_wprime___1024m_with_benchmate_ryzen_threadripper_3960x_24sec_56ms And this is the same OC, same machine turn on. Also _mat_ if you want to report scores, report evenly please, as you haven't report nor comment buldzoid nor dualityy. As this looks as double standards. As a matter of fact I am patreon of your project (adventure.piotrorkisz@gmail.com), I value it and I hope for the best. But for now it has flaws - all the scores are worse with it. We , the Enthusiast, are working on milliseconds in WPrime at the highest places. If Benchmate is delaying 50-200ms it has to be corrected. It's got to go to the background in time of benchmark and can not destroy the result. For me level of accepted delay is not more than 10ms for this benchmark. Cheers _mat_ Keep up the good work :)
  18. List of thoughts:

    I First run:

    1. Ask for HWBOT Login
    2. Check machine specs, save them : CPU model / GPU model and Manufacturer / RAM SPD, amount, 
    3. Give this machine credentials "HWBOT Name_Number"
    4. Ask for: CPU Cooling type/ Graphic Card cooling type/ Disk Amount Manufacturer, Capacity: GB, Series:, Configuration: / Power Supply: Manufacturer, Capacity:  Watt , Series
    5. Save this Information under HWBOT Name_Number and in main startup information file.
       

    II First benchmark: 

    1. Ask if it's for Enthusiast League: If yes -> ask for picture(s) of the system. - save them In database under names: HWBOT Name_Number_PIC#
    2. Give those info to HWBOT every-time when a score of this machine is submitted.

    III Every other run and submission:

    1. Check machine specs, save them : CPU model / GPU model and Manufacturer / RAM SPD, amount and if there is one like it in Database choose specs from I.4 - if correct.
    2. If system Spec changed show values form I.4 with question of a possible change. Give there an option of changing picture

     Hope you can find something interesting.
