  1. The submissions should be made easier imo.

    It's difficult to get new recruits to figure it out by themselves. Each recruit requires his hand being held through the entire process.

    Most of the younger crowd looks at userbench and havent even heard of hwbot.

    This information is self collected. Spent the last 6 months or so at LTT. I'm the only one to ever mention hwbot at that very popular forum.

    However I'm not allowed to advertise, so I have to be careful when I do mention hwbot.

    Also, processors and video cards boost themselves. There's absolutely no reason to overclock. Mostly mentioned in forums to simply enable XMP and PBO and done.

    OC days are gone unless BIG and drastic changes are made....which probably ain't gonna happen. It's a dead end hobby unlike RC cars or crafts.

    Welcome to the world of enthusiast. 
     

    I went through that, and I’m in an area that is usually over 10deg for 95% of the year, with usual daily temps between 25-38 for the rest of the year. 
     

    if you feel that way now, you have 2 options, get good at cheating the system, or if you have any ethics, move to apprentice and don’t give any more care or attention to enthusiast. 
     

    unless there is a field to fill out for ambient temperature for every submission, nothing will change and the database will forever be skewed by these results. 

    I use Tap to drain liquid cooling with a water delta that's usually under 10c all year round. 

     

    I'm honest and make submissions under the "chilled" category.... as it should be....

    However, I do run a TEC sometimes and haven't a cooling category for submitting, so I think the last time I did it, posted it as stock on an air cooler. 

    WELL I LIED!!!! HAHAHAA...... But I'm already extreme league. Should it matter then??

     

    The Athlon 220gewas done with a TEC for cpu-z and was running roughly -15c with some idle temps as low or lower than -30c.

     

    I've asked before about a category for TECs so I can submit properly, but am forced to LIE about it unintentionally. 

     

    Yes.... I use TECs. Help me help you help others help HWBot get it straightened out. ?

     

    EDIT: That's TEC to Cpu.... Not TEC chilling water FTWs.

    Being sponsored doesn't matter if others are willing to spend a lot of time.and money.

    What a out those who can't afford to buy the latest CPUs, maybe there should be another league just for older/cheaper hw?

    This is a discussion which has been had before, when I joined there were 3 leagues, elite, extreme and enthusiast. As soon as you tried subzero you were up against LN2, didn't stop me because I found it fun. I'd you're not finding it fun, take a step back and see how you could change things to enjoy it more.

    If points are all you care about, then it's time to go cold :)

    When I joined there was no such thing as cooling categories. It should have stayed that way.

    Liquid on the rocks any one? I prefer whiskey.... but hey who's chilling that cold anyways.

    Users according to Google Analytics. @ozzie just like any other site where content is created by the user, the amount of content producing users vs lurking members is maybe 1 to 100. :)

    Perhaps the hwbot forum should create content of it's own to attract readers. New content at least daily. Heck ANY type of electronics content would bring readers to this forum.

    Stagnant it remains without HWBot being actually active. 

    Reviews write ups, comparisons, testing, modding pictures, videos, eye candies....

    Most popular thread..... "Is overclocking dead or dying." That's no good at all. I don't wanna read threads like this in the worlds overclocking database forums to be frank.

    Yea, that's right. Just hit that little like button down there.

    Aquamark support is currently not planned, although very much possible, so not off the table or something. But I will try to focus on the most popular benchmarks first.

    In general old wrappers are replaced by BenchMate's integration. This is a whole new level of wrapping because I'm not just launching a benchmark process, but I'm actually in it and replace several Windows functionality with fixed, more robust and secure alternatives. For example all timer calls a benchmark uses are either emulated securely by the driver or at least tracked and its measurements compared to several other timestamps. That's something the Aquamark wrapper can't do, it is more like a result submitter with some system setting checks.

    That's pretty sweet. I'd like to see the old Aquamark wrapper removed. Didn't like it then, don't like it now, especially when my driver crashes mid bench!! lol.

    So on that note, being a wrapper as it is, when a benchmark fails, how will the wrapper handle it? Will it automatically close itself if errors are found such as a driver crash ect?  

     

  6. Of course I use W7. (or earlier).

    I have a much better understanding of benchmate and it's implementations now. Thank you for the explanation.

    I am wondering about Aquamark for example. Is the old wrapper going to be removed or doubled up by benchmate? Assuming I am running W10 and AMD for example?
