  1. As far as I can see it's not explicitly mentioned in the general rules, but the usage of ES CPUs in the Xtreme OC league is limited to non-current generations. So it is okay to use an i7-980X ES or i7-2600K ES, but not an i7-4770K ES as long as Haswell is the most recent Intel architecture.

  2. So 35 x 133 gives you a bluescreen, but you can boot into Windows at 34 x 133? I think you will end up around stable 4.2-4.3 GHz (Prime 95 or the like) then. Some Hwbot benchmarks like 1M will probably run at 4.5 GHz+ though. Just try and have a look at the temperatures. By the way for the highest system performance you should raise the base and uncore frequencies, too. But you can do that later once you figured out in what range your cores run stable.

  3. If you feed your core with 5.45 Volt, red color in the UEFI menu is your smaller problem. :D I'm pretty sure you mean 1.45 V Vcore, which is quite a lot. However 4.7 GHz on ambient cooling is already a pretty neat frequency, especially for such a CPU with 6 cores, don't you think? Getting 4.8 or 4.9 GHz stable needs a very strong water cooling solution and very likely binned chips (with a random-picked one you have to be very lucky ;)). I suppose you have recognize this is the limit of your chip

  4. "Over time" needs a time scale. :)

    2 x 850 Watt PSUs would count as 1,700 Watt in this graph, right? Oh, and how many submissions actually were used as source data?

  5. I'm fine with you beating my result, but I am very confused about the result details. How did you manage to run this CPU at an astonishing multiplier value of x26? All results I've seen yet were achieved with x18, the stock multiplier for the default frequency of 2,400 MHz. According to Intel this chip doesn't support Turbo technology: http://ark.intel.com/de/products/49020/intel-core-i3-370m-processor-3m-cache-2_40-ghz

    So either you have found an amazing way to unlock higher multipliers or the result is not correct.

    I guess one day is just enough to beat 23 hours, so that's no real challenge. However 23 hours to beat one day would require some overclocking skills for sure. :banana: On a serious note I've noticed that some challange texts are bugged and an amount of hours is shown instead of the user name. Maybe it is connected to the time left for a competition, but that's just a wild guess. However I really had a good laugh about this one. :D

  7. Why is it necessary to confuse Hwbot community members about the cooling solution being used?

     

    Just for future reference - this is an air cooler:

    This is a water cooling system:

    So if you used the water cooling system Corsair Hydro H60 for your results, don't call it "5.7 GHz air" please (even if the H60 isn't superior to high-end air-coolers, no doubt).

    (It would be wrong to use a 4 stage cascade and call it air cooling, just because it has some fans attached to it, right? :D)

     

    I'm sorry if that sounds rude or fussy in a way, but I'm just a bit disappointed about that wrong claim as we're talking about 500 bucks here, so provided information simply should be correct and not random. :(

  8. I didn't have time to test the benchmark yet, but although it's based on Linpack, the integrated stability test drops behind LinX (@ max. problem size) and Intel Burn Test (@ stress level maximum). In comparison it does not only lead to lower power consumption/CPU & RAM usage/Vdrop, but is also more volatile in these matters and needs more time to reveal an unstable setting.

     

    I suggest a customization function for the amount of memory being used.

  9. Still not a single M6E tho
    Given the circumstance I actually worked with one today, Bavaria not longer seems to be part of the Federal Republic of Germany. :D (Yay, separatism :P)

     

    On a serious note: Samples are out, so I expect retail availability of the M6E before the end of the month. But we will see ...
