Waiting for just the right moment

Wasn't that cold outside when I ran this bench, maybe 12c.

Looks like the US is tied with Poland (ATM) Good job team USA!

You might check to see if there is already a 4 core score submitted. The rules for that stage are a little confusing but it appears you need to have a score with each core number.

w00t for once team USA actually submitted enough scores to complete a stage!!

Good score!

anytime. I wish it could have been better though that is the limits of the core. and/or cooling.

Thanks, your turn ^^

2v rock on!

I'm game, looking back I think I have hardware for every bench too.

Ya tell me about it. You wouldn't believe how hard it is to gain 2 seconds over a span of this bench. I'm pretty sure the chip is good for it.

I think its dumb to have benches on HWBot that don't offer points. I'm sure there is a reason for this, of which I have no idea what is.

Turbo was disabled actually. Just a straight multiplier adjustment.

the chip will do 108BLCK on this board but not at subzero.

i doubt i will win but ya this is great

Nope, room temp watercooler. Got a DD RBX on the CPU and triple 120mm fan rad cooling the system. Its only 3/8" hose but does the job.

I can agree that mobo makers have gotten soft in their designs, there are a few "good" designs but are usually price exclusive to the point that nobody wants to afford them. Then again it's a huge gamble to design a board "just" for overclocking or just for submitting scores to HWBot. Yes that is every enthusiasts wet dream but seriously that is a ton of money to spend on motherboard that maybe less than 26k people would buy (divided by x number of vendors). btw I love stats like what you have provided, however I might suggest weighted scores over straight up numbers. For instance # above average and # below average across each board. That would at least tell us if there is one really high score shifting the average over a bunch of crappy ones.

it would seem 13x didn't validate on this processor.

Thanks, this whole process has been some good fun. Not gonna say my chip is all that good either, it cold bugs under the phase and has to be subzero to clock so it really becomes a challenge of getting the water cold enough. Oh and just to think, all of this started because I posted my 5000+ BE in the wrong category

Good job!

doh!

Thanks, it was a tough climb, but I learned a lot about the chip and getting it stable. I have some pics of the event posted in the forum on my site. They are worth checking out. D
