The part number in the picture in the link says it's a 2.6ghz B2 chip (there is a 26 early in the PN, and it ends with BGD which is proof that it's a 9900). Yeah, because of some validation bug... it did link to the correct one when it was created, but then it changed... i have too many validations for CPUZ i think:p

Sorry for going OT, but do you mind adding this one, too: http://www.hwbot.org/forum/helpcenter.php?do=ticket&tid=208 ? It's been in the queue since January...

If it's going to be added, then the slowest test should take about 2-3 min. at least - since it's multithreaded (no need for another 2 sec benchmark...), and the slowest one 1h++ There are too few benchmarks here that need some time to finish - even superpi32m is over almost before you've started it:(

Just curious... what CPUs are we talking about here?

A permanent fix will be difficult, but you can always PM the owner of the other score, and ask him to delete, and reupload it. Then I think your score will be first.

I always wonder... why can't these cards just be added? Then we have no arguing about unfair scores like this, and more people will bench their cards in more categories. Why was 2900pro/xt separated, btw? Same cards:p 7900gto vs gtx?;)9800gtx vs 9800gtx+? Just wonder what's so different there from this discussion.

You need GPUZ after 1.1.2008, or an ORB link. If they're not following the rules, report them.

That one should either be blocked, or moved to 512bit...

Note that you can share memory, PSU etc... just not GPUs (for 3D) and CPUs (for 2D). for exampl, I think you can use the same E8600 (or whatever) for 3dmark01, but not the same video card. However, for superpi you can use the same video card, but not the same CPU.

I'd say it's OK to post it, as there's no doubt that there is a bug with PII and CPUZ rejections...

This is a well-known error with that chip. Should be OK to upload the scores to the bot despite the fact that it's rejected.

Alot of people need to sell their CPUs/GPUs to be able to afford to hottest gear, not allowing selling would make it alot harder to bench. Buying a proven overclocker is not wrong, borrowing it for a session is.

Not if the S/N is stored on some chip that can't be flashed;) It's not realistic, I know, but it would solve the problem.

You can't really start being suspicious before the results are uploaded lol:p

The question is not what the GPU clocks are, it's who submitted first;) The oldest submission should be above the newer one.

I've seen that before. I'm glad the other version is so easy to spot;) More scores that need to be moved/deleted: http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=500005 - DFI never made a 940 mobo. And the clock is WAY above what these chips can do... http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=444773 - Says DFI nf4 Ultra-D, which is socket 939 - not 940...

http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=785877 It's like 35% too fast for the clocks:p No doubt it's not the correct version. No CPUZ either, just some other program.

Agreed.

It's indeed a bit strange to just block it for that reason... if it's photoshopped then the result is a ban, not a blocked score only. Personally I think it's a real score, just wondering what maxine was thinking:p My guess is that he was far from 100% sure himself, but had a doubt.

If it's a "cheat" driver, then it should be blocked. But, as jmke says, it's easy accessible and it's far from obvious that it's not allowed so no need to give any "punishment" to any user who submits using this driver;)

Np, just wanted to make sure I still have my 12.6(?) points;)

No matter what the reason is, it's just a "cosmetic" difference - so there should be one category instead of two. But no-one will move my score around, no?

http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=CPU_1701 - sure its not this one?

Massman is right, it's a CPUZ bug. I bought my chip from Untouchable, who is 4th or so in one of the CPUZ ranks. He benched it WAY before I did, so he used the old version (Toledo?), but when I ran it CPUZ said Denmark. So it's indeed the same core - no difference:p

http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=671226 See helpcenter ticket #44 for more info about the Toledo/Denmark core issue. It's the 2nd time someone wanted to move this score, and the last time it was indeed moved. I don't feel like moving it back all the time to get my 12.6 points, so it would be great if it would be checked once and for all;)
