Its because the T9400 has accidentally the wrong socket in DB, opened a new ticket for this. Should be correct if Antinomy agrees to my changes and Massman update this list. Edit: But its still funny to see how Hipro5 humiliates those Core2 Cpus...

Hope everything is right...

Das erklärt dann natürlich einiges.... Sah jedenfalls nach einer spaßigen Competition aus konnte leider nicht mitmachen.

Ihr müsst euch halt ein Bett teilen aber so kommt wenigstens richtige Camp Atmosphäre auf. Und hättest du einfach eine CPU-Z vali gemacht wäre das gar nicht passiert.

Well its over. One hour after dead time I also got 18 points. But too late. Congrats to Coldest for winning this.

That was the first thing I thought of but running a second program side by side is crashing the benchmark process. You really have to extremely reduce bclk and tweak to steal some cpu cycles with programs without letting XTU crash. Taking into account that one run takes up to one hour this was for sure the hardest stage of the competition.

Its because the selection for pifast is wrong: cpu_model.socket_id=269 or cpu_model.socket_id=120

XTU 5.1 is very picky, it seems 4.4 is far better. I assumed its not allowed, because its outdated but apparently it works. Just finished a Run with 87,75% clock modulation which results in 18 Points. grrr

Damn that last one drove me crazy. Managed to get 81.77Mhz but result didnt lower. Relaxing Ram timings resulted in "benchmarking process has failed" also the same with playing with Clock Modulation. What was we supposed to hit in last one?

Yup agree here, should be really only best user result. A Top10 is to short for multiple entrys by same user. BTW, did anyone looked at first spot in 3dm01? 2700k misinterpreted as Athlon 2700+!

If I could, I would vote for: Slot A Socket 754 Socket 939 Socket 370 Socket 478 Socket 479 (someone need to clean database first, because of Core2 CPUs which dont belong there) Socket 423 can go

Sensationell 5,3Ghz mit den niedlichen Lüfter!

Thx very much Massman! People will like this.

Very nice bclk

Im not disappointed of your efforts, its quite the opposite! I expected nothing, not a single response but now we have 2 threads full with people showing interest and this led to a new competition series, not bad huh? If anything, Im a little bit disappointed that _I_ cant properly explain you why such a ranking system could be great fun. (and I failed very hard, as it seems that nobody understood my first post at all) I still thinking main advantages would be: -cheap parts -_almost_ no binning requirement -relies mostly on benchers skill I just thought that this would be an interesting concept, it could be a tribute to the golden days of OC and maybe we even can involve people left the scene already some time ago to return. Maybe they just need a platform again to show their skills. But I have to admit, I didnt thought it would be so hard to implement this. I totally understand that this have to wait till Devs have some room to breath. As an alternative, wouldnt it be possible to create such HOF rankings like you did with the 5Ghz sp32m challenge? So saying, creating a thread for i.e. Socket 462 and include Top20 for CPU-Z, SP1m, SP32m, Pifast, wp32, wp1024 and so on?

If I red it correctly, Massman is just about to introduce yet another league anyway to motivate some youngster. This raises the question what does Massman to motivate people which are already some years in the game and dont want to become the master of CPU binning for Xtreme League or like to bench 100 different Socket 775 CPUs on LN2 for TopSpot in Hardware League. Also we should consider that we already have a separated ranking in the bot, its called "Mobile Masters League". Is it over the top to create another menu point and accumulating some specific points together and call it Old School League? But I try to be realistic, I was surprised about the response this threat got, I mean we have monthly competitions back which is very cool! But also knew that Massman wont spend coding time for old stuff which no sponsor is interesting in.

So this polymer caps in side to the smd ones really helped that much? Great record btw, I guess this will last some time.

I guess you bite into your desk at this moment.

Sorry but thats exactly the point, benching oldschool stuff doesnt do anything in hardware league. You can bench Socket 7 Systems forever, do crazy mods spend LN2 on it and get 100 pts in the end. Because benching that stuff awards you with 2pts in the best case, this is dedication for sure but to gain ground you have to own a good 4770k/4790k go to ebay and buy Geforce 8800 or similar. Last time I got a Radeon 5850 for cheap. I didnt even had to fire up my soldering iron or install a waterblock still I got 20pts. Dont get me wrong, I know these points are cheap to get and will lower with every new CPU generation. To stay on top you have to do some really good CPU, mainly Socket 775 results but benching all the real old stuff is mainly for the team. So thats why I had the idea for a separate ranking system. Introducing a Hall of Fame page for each socket would be the first step. You could award top positions with badges, which appear on users profile page but real competition comes with points!

Hey its very cool that this really happened. I would like to thank anybody involved with this. Although I actually didnt want to re establish the monthly competition series I appreciate the work made by the mods. My intention was to add a separate oldschool ranking to the bot. Seems I either didnt explained it correctly or its just unrealistic because of the huge coding work. When I could add something to Round 1 of Competition: We should maybe think about lift the limitations a bit to reach people participate because of "show & shine" factor. Not everyone has exactly the hardware needed lying around or wants to ebaying. So it may be a good idea to allow Geforce 1-4 also and sockets appeared prior S478 and S939. They wont have big chances to win but atleast they can participate. Superpi 1m 2801Mhz Cap is a nice idea but it could also be interesting when you add a full out stage. Socket 478 standing no chance against S939...

Can confirm this...

Just came across this: Shouldnt be Asus Cusl2, Cusl2-M, Tusl2 and ST6E be 815E instead of 815? And Abit ST6 be 815EP? Atleast on my Cusl2 I can verify that it uses ICH2 and therefore should be 815E.

Could you add SY-6BE+? I actually have a CPU verification, but it doesnt show any information in the mainboard tab. Also there seems to be something wrong in our db, I cant find a SY-6BE+ III mainboard in the net but there is a SY-6BA+ III, might be just a typo. Last but not least, could you rename: 6BA+IV to SY-6BA+ IV. Again thx.

I think I got it now, seems you just have to wait before someone do the right score. Then you just bench till you match the same. Ofcourse it could help being the first reaching the score because you may get an advantage when there is a tie in the end (and there will be a tie...) but when I look in the rules: "if two participants hit the same target starting from the earliest target the one with the earliest submission wins" (means, when you were too late in Target 03-03 you have already lost) So thx Intel preventing lots of people to take part in this competition because they use their non-english Windows variant. Actually I would say to place somewhere a big fat headline to let people know how they can fix their XTU but on the other hand you cant win anymore this one so maybe Intel will simply fix XTU before we need this temperature function somewhere in the future again.

Its still very obvious which score is the correct one, as they appear in the ranking first. So maybe you should rank by score. I still dont know if I should trust this, afterwards some say "it was just a bug, target was different". (In terms of bugs, you can never trust the bot)
