    Nearly seven days had passed without reply. A week lost to the abyss; consumed by a heartless calendar and never to be seen again. As I awaited my fate, the hands of the clock seemed to slow. Each tick more painful than the last. Each hour relentlessly driving a wedge between night and day, dream and reality, truth and lie. Did the HWBOT Marketplace even exist or is was it merely a construction of false hopes poisoning my mind with visions of binned memory and the finest motherboards? So many questions, yet the answers remain tightly bound in threads of darkness and despair, just beyond my reach.

     

    Just checking in.

    Is using HWmonitor to show CPU temperatures OK?

    I am pretty sure you went below 25, but that´s nothing we can enforce without mandatory screenshot, so you are above 60 on load and this complies to the rules

     

    I don't want to be that guy, I want to play fair. Rather than posting another score without a screenshot or potentially skirting the rules with the existing submission, I decided to delete the prior run and post a new one. Still on the line for sure, but it's clear nothing wacky is going on; just fans on blast and good ambient.

    Dropping points

    On hardware points... You can search hardware data by CPU and GPU to find the points spread across various benchmarks. For example, a GT 755M typically has a hardware points max of 2 (not many entries), but a common card like a 980 ti, hits 40+ (tons of entries) in many benchmarks. I've found pairing older, popular GPUs with newer, faster CPUs, nets decent points. Back in the day, it seems it was a chore to hit 5mhz, now the common man can pickup a 7700K benching 5.4 and 4K DDR4. Personally, I enjoyed learning about older hardware and it's usually super cheap, the points were kind of a bonus. Best way to build a hardware score is XTU with a ton of different CPUs, that takes a lot of time or money or effort.

     

    On global points, that's where the best equipment wins, Titan X, 1080Ti, 7700k 4x, 7350K 2x, etc., or older gens with exotic cooling, or often both.

     

    If you're really into points, you can search by your individual components (e.g., 7700K), OC capability (e.g., 5.2ghz), and benchmarks (e.g., XTU), one by one, and see where your system should score for hardware (~20), global (~15), and WR points (0).
