  1. but i have only made one single 9800gtx+ submission.. in total, which show in my profile

     

    Dont i get points for that one?

     

    so if i make a couple of 7970 submissions with a higher score, then the 9800gtx+ benchmark wont count?

     

    And a little now and then, i have other users benchmarks coming up on my profile (wall), and the team page got the same issue..

     

    All points count to your hardware rank. For your league rank only the best 15 Global and best 20 Hardware submission count.

  2. with ivy:

    gene vi

     

    i cover al mobo with vaselline.....there isn't water!

     

    if i remove 1 module, the problem there isn't........but i try with 2 pair of ripjaws and trident

     

    Same thing is happening with me too. I just assumed that the chip's IMC is getting flaky. Works ok till about -80C. Once the temps drop below that, even bringing it back to -80C and higher does not remove the issue in my case. This happens in Slot 2 in my case.

     

    P.S. No condensation in the slot, Ram though is not under LN2 but have tried covering it with arteraser and paper towel so as to rule out condensation.

  3. Hi guys, I'm trying to bench mark my graphics card and when I try to run 3DMark03 it just gives me the error in the title. I found a solution on the internet which stops it from checking my system but that will stop me from uploading my scores to this site. Does anyone know how to fix this error but still allow me to upload scores to HWbot?

     

    There are times when these benchmarks simply stop working on an OS, and though there might be a solution, but reinstalling the OS seems to be the simplest solution which works for most, :D

    I love reading TPU so I don't really want to go look at the awards. But the ratings are suspiciously high and clicking 8 random reviews yielded in 8 awards given to the reviewed product.

     

    :( :( :( :( :(

     

    Personally I do not mind the awards and do not overly place an importance on them while reading reviews. Being a reviewer myself (ofcourse of a more regional website) I feel if the Cons of a product have been highlighted properly then Rating/Award is useless (not so much for the reviewer, because he can remain in the good books of the manufacturer without cheating the readers). This is ofcourse for products which atleast manage to do what they set out to claim at a decent price.

     

    There are exceptions ofcourse where I personally have sent the results to manufacturer, and there have been cases where they have opted out of getting the Review Published. This is like a courtesy which reviewer can give to the manufacturer for timely delivery of review samples.

  5. http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/processor/xeon_28ghz_fsb100/ - that's the one.

    The 1MB L3 is Gallatin (Prestonia+L3 cache).

     

    Thats FSB 100, I am asking for the one with FSB 400Mhz.

     

    No, 1MB L2 Cache is not Gallatin (Gallatin has 2MB of L2 Cache), its still Prestonia,

  6. I have:

    2x Reference GTX 280 - $55/ea

    1x Reference GTX 275 (modded) - $50

    1x Reference 5870 - $100 (benched 1350/1300 here)

    1x Reference 4890 - $50

     

    I'm not sure about shipping to India... USPS Flat Rate prices have skyrocketed, i.e. $80 for 24x12x3 or 12x12x5 (inches) box. UPS/FedEX are out of the question too because it will easily be $130+.

     

    Are you interested in any of these? If so, any idea what to do about shipping?

     

    Express Mail International has option of your own package with 36 inch length and 79 inch girth for 65$. Would be interested in all (we can negotiate on the price later, :D ) of these infact but just want to ask why havent you benched them apart from the 5870?

  7. could the PCB be bent?

     

    hmmm....didnt feel like it. Will check it thoroughly. In your experience that can create specific code 55 issue?

     

    Infact since I know over-tightening the CPU cooler can create issues, I even tried without really securing the heatsink and just placing it on top of the CPU, though with no luck.

  8. Urgently need some help here. Getting Code 55 continuously on the mobo. I know its related to memory or CPU IMC. Have changed 12 sticks of memory, 1 at a time in all the ports. Have tried 2 CPUs. Ofcourse have cleared CMOS, switched dual BIOS switch.

     

    Its supposedly new mobo which even booted once, was in Windows installing drivers etc when the computer hung and since then its giving this error message. BIOS was on its default settings so no overclocking has ever been done on this motherboard. Is it possible that the motherboard is dead? Or am I missing any troubleshooting step?

  9. Ebay is a great place i use to buy 20-30 cards at a time from different people but i buy them dirt cheap 2 to 15euro for a 3850-3870-4850-4780 card just chose the ones with aftermarket coolers and diy water no one wants them so the goes for notthing..

     

    The only problem being shipping to India, :(. Which on ebay is unrealistic.

  10. Do you take servitude as a form of payment?

     

    Comeon, its not that costly, :D.

     

    Anyways just for you, :P, price dropped to 350 Euros shipped through normal trackable courier.

     

    375 Euros for DHL/Fedex/Bluedart etc.
