    Is overclocking DEAD or dying?

    in HWBOT News

    Posted · Edited by Gumanoid

    Overclocking is DEAD! I'm not talking about extreme overclockers. BUT! I strongly doubt that someday the time will come as in the millennium. I remember Mendocino... I have in my collection 433 Mendocino that can do 650МГц with 100 FSB on air! in the 99th it was a bomb!! 100US price processor kicks and kicks and kicks ass many hundred bucks Pentium II 450! this is profit! Or Athlon thunderbird with L1 bridges... bring it on! 700 to 1000! Or 1000 to 1533! This is overclocking! today it's just bullshit with turbos and else...

    What about amazing R300/350 (9500 to 9700Pro/9800SE to 9800 Pro) or NV40! I love NV40!! 6800LE -> unmask blocks, softvoltmod bios up to 1.5V GPU and you can get 450-460МHz with 6800 Ultra performance!!

    But at the same time , there has to be a core picture also (from the front side of the pcb) to verify the exact core used by AMD (cause AMD did some "magic" back then).

     

    That procedure can not be asked from a regular user.

    Only experienced members with cpu's cracked open can provide all these verification info.

     

    That's why i had to question some of GRIFF's results in this year OSIBS.

    Too good cpu results , with not all verification elements available (when asked).

    Meaning , that he provided some of the verification pictures mentioned above , but never the front side of the cpu (at the same time).

    The cartridge is factory packaging! Today slot A is almost a collector's processor. And I for example would not have opened this processor for any reason. You forget that you can use "gold finger" and for its use it is not necessary to open the cartridge it is enough to carefully cut a piece of plastic in the right place. You're still sure that Orion and Pluto are different cores, I do not think so.

    The rule about not covering any of the rendered scene has been in place for a few months at the very least, if this run was done and subbed recently then there is simply no excuse.

    Do you re-read the rules every time you visit the site? I do not argue that formally the screenshot does not comply with the rules just like the screenshot in this submission. There were no notifications about changing the rules, neither on the main page nor on e-mail. If you see that the user does not know about the changes in the rules or does not know completely why not to say?

    I do hope this wasn't a "If you can't beat 'em, report 'em" tactic because that's just not cool if so.

    This is me you're asking about this ore someone else? In second round OSIBS Leeghoofd saw that the submission does not comply with the rules and instead of saying that there are inconsistencies and how the screenshot should look just removed from OSIBS. After this in his private messages, he explained the reason, I corrected everything, but he did not want to restore the result. Due to the removal of these two results, our team did not take the overall third place. And everyone knows that the results are right, but formally did not comply with the rules. Where did the normal relationships between people that were several years ago have gone? For me, this is wild.
