lol, I love it.
-
That's two moderators with PC05 subs lacking stuff in the rules thread now.
-
Thx, guys!
had black screen for a few seconds in GT3 though
Hmm...maybe bench again to break 68K with higher CPU clocks
50 more mhz will do I guess, but I want to bench 01 1st b4 I re-bench this one
Afraid of high volt. to kill my only chip atm...haha !!
I thought black screen + high FPS = bugged run. Is it allowed now?
-
lol, a 9800 CPU score with physx on a 580? No. That's a dual core wolfdale type CPU score!
There's a PPU checkbox in vantage options for those who don't want to disable physx system wide.

Lots.
And lots.
And lots.

Its right here, in the first post of the clarifications, it even has a "since this date, this is required" line: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59009
It's in the main rules page now, too.
I'll even quote it for y'all:
Since October 24, 2012 - New (thanks SteveRo)Until the wrapper are ready
1. Futuremark link -ORB-required for all top 20 submissions either global or hardware.
2. For all non-top 20 submissions either Futuremark link or Pcm05 Results.txt required via screen shot.
3. Include real pictures of your rig, specifically storage and cooling.
This is Mandatory for all submissions in PcMark'05
If you use ORB link, screenshot basic is equally mandatory

I had a very bad experience with Koolance rev.2 pot and dice - plastic top can be easily removed when freezed because of different coefficient of thermal expansion of plastics and copper.
That'd be a rev1.
Rev2 is aluminum.
My tek9 (anodized top) leaked like a sieve, I put some clear silicone RTV on the seam inside and out, works great now.
-
Hell of a score, I want to see the backups with higher GPU clocks!
Rig pic doesn't match the HW description though. Those aren't NEX1500 PSU cables by any stretch of the imagination.
-
Ahh I want one of those Venoms. Used a friend's Venom, very nice pot, that.

How is this result still here when it clearly violates the rules in the official thread?
Others have been held to the rules in that thread and other threads. Hell half the HWBot rules are or were only in threads, despite being enforced rapidly.
-
They leak LN2 sometimes too, watched a livestream where a guy ended up with LN2 all over his board when the gemini leaked.
The GPU pots leak acetone, too.
-
It's the chat with other overclockers that I really like.
-
Because you dont know how to do high TW without FD2 and still have windows displayed.
As for result.txt its not in the official rules page.
Welcome to our world.
The official rules pages have little meaning, you have to read every single post of every single thread on the forum to actually know the real rules.
EDIT:
There's a list of the TW caps for single / dual / triple / quad core chips around here somewhere. Last I heard anything over the cap was considered cheating.
-
Damn, just bought another card
Hope you paid for fast shipping.
-
Might want a fan, too.
-
Lots of sponsorship?
-
Atom CPUs can be had with Nvidia ION chipsets and dual channel ram.

Both the Z77-UD5H and the Z77-UP4 couldn't run XMP timings on my 7-10-7 ripjaws. Needed 8 CAS. Never did figure out what the problem was.
Other z77 boards (ASRock professional, TZ77XE4) could do it fine. One other couldn't (asrock extreme6) and needed the same +1 CAS.
Just a heads up really as both boards have been rage-sold at this point
-
Interesting, totally different.
-
Not on the official rules page, is it?
-
Point out where that is in the official, updated, rules page please: http://hwbot.org/news/881_application_9_rules/

CPUz work correctly?
-
Get rid of this, pleeeeeeeeeease:D If it's there, maybe I'm just dreaming:o it doesn't really do any good at all, as time has got nothing to do with the quality of a result. A sempron 140 result from two years ago is just as good as a sempron 140 result obtained today, for example.
I agree with this. Heavily.

They don't complain because they don't want to be fined. I bet if you talked to them in the garage they'd bitch for HOURS.
If there's one thing racers love to do other than to drive, it's bitch and moan.
Low clock challenges are nearly impossible to do competitively, people will always cheat. Not everybody, but enough that if you want to be in the prize areas you'll cheat too. It's known as "defensive cheating" in racing.
Worse, it's really easy to cheat in a LCC. Just raise the clocks, and back down for the screenshot. You can even calculate exactly how far to raise the clocks based on the best known efficiency. Without something like CPUz/GPUz running the whole time and logging the clocks in short increments, it won't happen.
Once something like that exists then it will be possible, but the app has to actually work of course, on all versions of windows. Good luck with that.
Limiting HW is much more doable.
Even if we're all using mid range, easily affordable hardware, there's the massive disconnect between us and normal people. We use LN2. At that point we might as well be using different hardware for all it has to do with normal people. Briefly SB got them a lot closer, but those times are over.
We also turn off exactly the same eye candy that most people are turning to ULTRA levels. It's a different world.
