  1. With all respect,this is completely wrong.

    It is your responsibility to watch your results, and if you have a black screen or the picture is rendered in a way that it is not visible anymore, this is part of rules of all 3d mark and catzilla benches for example that this is an invalid result. It is also your responsibility to check the plausibility of a result, and if you do not bother to check for example catzilla 730GT scores and ask yourself why you have higher raymarch, fur or whatever on your result than people with cpu and card on LN2 and hundreds of MHz more on both it is not the staff that has to take responsibility for this, but you.

     

    The issue isn't with the extreme results though, yeah it's up to a bencher to check their scores against others, and if they see they're beating people with far higher clocks etc, then something might be up. That's not the issue though, it's the small gaps, where there might be some artifacting but nothing crazy, and so your score is slightly better than someone at the same clocks as you, who are you to know (especially as a novice in 3D) that your score is bugged rather than you happened to find a good series of settings etc that got you that extra 1%?

     

    I completely agree with you on the big stuff, but it's the rest I'm concerned about.

  2. I think the issue here is for those who aren't aware of things in advance, they might try their hardest, maybe use up their DI/LN2, and end up with a bugged run that they simply thought was a good run, since as you said artifacts are a thing in 3D.

     

    If there are known bugs they should be disclosed in advance in my opinion.

  3. bunnyextraction thats an awesome price on the Voltcraft, I dont think they'd ship to Australia. @RULE how much do you want for yours, I could always do with a backup.

     

    I know! That's why I'm still tempted (despite being told I should just save and get a fluke :P) also the apparently slow refresh rate of the voltcraft.

     

    If I can't get a fluke for a half decent price then I'll definitely end up getting one.

  4. Hi,

     

    you're looking for two channel thermometer only? Have a Voltcraft K101 i don't use.

     

    I'd be interested, but if you're in the US then I think shipping would make it too expensive, what would you be looking for?

  5. which thermometer do you have, it could be just the probes.

     

    these are the probes I bought to use with oc panel and they work down to full pot, but they are expensive.

    I also have the ones from ek and sf3d and they work to full pot. Also the ones on kpc store work full pot.

     

    not sure about thermometers though, in almost 4 years I have only used oc panel, it might be slow compared to a fluke but it works fine with full pot temps and never had trouble with it. It allows me to put a number on my cold bug, keep within a range under load and does the job

     

    It's a pretty cheap thermometer, not sure where I got it from actually.

     

    If there was a Kingpingcooling shop in the UK I'd be tempted, but once you add shipping the probes from him are pretty pricey as well :(

  6. Hi,

    As above, looking to get some decent probes and a thermometer.

    The current probes/thermometer I've got seem to tap out at around -172-4ish.

     

    Been looking at the Voltcraft k102, anyone got anything?

     

    Thanks (I'm based in the UK)

     

    Edit:

    Now maybe tempted by a fluke...
