r u sure this is 900 mhz frequency ? all other contesters before and after you are 1000+ up to almost 1100 mhz

Suzuki is a serious guy, with awesome hardware ! the psc are really nice ! any thoughts what's the max frequency at spi32m for 1.9 V ? (don't run a test, expectations will suffice ;))

okidokie. screenshot got mandatory at some point, oh yeah 1st of June. a teammate told me about a sub with missing screenshot that got removed. and that 64bit is not allowed (personally, always used the 32bit v6.4.1.12 since this version corrected a bug such that people could modify their score). June 01, 2019: limitation to 32 bit XTU version only, due to enhanced 64bit version being out. A verification screenshot is required for top 20 scores. older submissions with or without screenshots are still valid, right ?

guys, you never know on which leg to dance... "As newer versions of XTU do not produce a score which is on par with older versions, we are forced to take the hard decision to disable points for all XTU submissions. " for gpupi, i didn't see the results being removed, but 2 categories were made. i guess on big cpus (>6 c/12t), reruns can mean nothing and yield more inconsistencies, especially with high ram frequencies, but on 4c/8t or lower, as long as i can tell, results seemed very consistent on all ddr3 platforms from sandy to haswell. on ddr4, I don't know. imo, kill it for ddr4 but not for ddr3 or kill the new version or benching on new cpus

nice price ! too bad we are separated by an ocean...

Bravo, triple bravo !!!

sad but true. I did nt want to be the party pooper but as things go, I may add the link now... https://hwbot.org/submission/4166028

does the competition rules say that the sub should comply with hwbot rules ? i guess you can have scores valid for a comp but invalid on hwbot hence not making points on hwbot ?

look for incorrect backgrounds and you will get some reshuffling of the 1st place The Silver may get the 1st in the end ! ? https://hwbot.org/submission/4166028

am i lost or this says system info ver 5.3 ...? https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/36500627? https://hwbot.org/submission/4168434 https://benchmarks.ul.com/systeminfo i thought 5.18 was the latest since May 2... unless the mods tell us that for hd5450 it does not matter to have old system info version, most results will not be valid...?

the screenshot is not valid

on some forums they'd get banned for this

He is from France are they working or they are dead?

what you are saying is that chances are close to 0 ; the insurance would actually only hold if they'd loose the package?

i was quoting the statement that the test should have been done in a z170

well that should not burn the cpu, or break its die...? mistake yes, but not the reason for the cleaved, dead die. so either you mounted it badly and broke it, or it arrived this way. is the above picture of the as-received item ?

+1 I have sent tons of delidded/relidded cpu in padded (bubble) enveloppe. cpu in its plastic box. box fully rolled with 1 layer of bubble film, put inside the bubble enveloppe such that the plastic box can't move. and Alex@Ro is truly right, it is much safer since they travel with light letters

yeah, either send with ihs sealed, or send naked in the box, well wrapped so it can t move, and the ihs outside opf the box, secured. if the ihs is left on the die (with a paper towel layer in between or not, one layer won 't protect much against shocks), and the plastic box containing those can move as whown o nthe picture, the cpu die could get broken. but here that looks like a die that died because of too much weight/pressure on the lower side.

February 5th

CPU (PCB + lid) were shipped in the plastic blister delidded with no paste MEANS IHS can move as much as it wants on the die. the original silicone seal was removed for the pcb ?

by default 23/kg but you can add ad valorem and pay 9 euros extras for getting insured at 500. you could make a cheaper option, like Lettre Recommandée Internationale R2, insured up to 150, it costs 8.1 total that's beyond the point though. you French guys making lan / ln2 parties should boycott him once and for all...

What suprises me most is that the shipper, and the buyer, agreed to such poorly insured way of sending a 500 eur good... I mean Mondial Relay then Hermes... it should have gone International Colissimo + heavy insurance, or Chronopost.

Hi ! Really sorry to read that story was the cpu sent naked, delidded, and unprotected - no plastic box? no bubble film? what are the chances for a freely moving cpu inside a box to develop a crack in the die after being thrown away in a box? if you have a dead cpu lying around you could try similar experiments. I can only imagine that a crack would develop in the die if the IHS was put on the cpu but not sealed, hence it could move laterally or/and bang the die surface during a shock. if the cpu was naked, ie no ihs, and wrapped very safely, i can t imagine that a shipping mishandling causes this. same if the ihs was sealed. you may wrap a delidded (dead) cpu in its plastic box, wrap the box with plastic bubble film, put it in a small box, jump on the box where the cpu is located, and check the die. or throw the box in the air. I have 2 dead cpu on my desk, i will try tomorrow. now what i can say is that Mondial relay is a pain to deal with, but if you have strong evidence on your side, you need to insist and insist every day by calling them. the seller ought to do that if he felt responsible and concerned...

what are you looking for, 2600 cas8 or better ?

PSC chips indeed, pcb is ST. they came from my 24/7 rig. Nothing special, good for 24/7 x58 or other 115x ddr3, but don't expect miracles indeed ! might be good on AMd but I have no clue for that... Gigelz, you can be suprised sometimes. best PSC from Gskill are not Flares or PI sometimes, they can be better in average statistically but no the best
