It's fun seeing Celerons climbing back up towards the top of the rankings again. Keep it up

The tek9fat works great for DIce, but you're going to want to seal it if you have the black top bare copper bottom flavor. They leak. IIRC Vince said he fixed that for the nickle plated flavor.

Nope, didn't move in the slightest overnight. I'm on a vanilla 256MB pie.

Far as I can tell it calculates forever. Left it overnight, no change come morning. I'll try another OS at some point here.

I still think this sort of mobo require is silly at best, personally. I can understand advertising, but come on.

I sat down and explained WTF java was to it in very small words. Open whatever it was, to be specific. I expect the calc to take a bit, it's more than I'm not sure it's getting to the calc in the first place. I canceled after 10m or so and played with the OCing bits, ran it again 5m ago. The cpuid error makes me wonder if it's hung rather than just taking a while. If it never moves I'll pull the open java thing out and try the official one. EDIT: Hey! Finally gave up on estimating speed, 0GHz! Now it's running one thread. This'll take a bit, further reports as events warrant. 2.EDIT: Running pleasantly warm to the touch with a GPU RAM heatsink thermal taped to it and an annoying 80mm fan aimed in its direction. Don't remember what clock speed I set, don't know if it was successful either

Got it running! Or at least running as far as estimating processor speed. It's been doing that for maybe five minutes at this point. I'm SSH'd into the box, don't know if that'd be a possible issue or not.

I'll give that a shot once I figure out how to get it internets, my only HDMI monitor is a rather long (unwired) distance from my router Maybe I can do it blind.

What do you think "Pro" sports are all about? It sure as hell isn't the game. (Please note, this is not a criticism of HWBot. This is an observation of "Pro" sports across the board. HWBot's a lot more honest about it than most)

I'm on Wheezy, Oracle has a walkthrough for it, but it didn't work (apt-get says "wtf is java?"). I'll spend some more time on it when I get a chance.

Getting java going on the Pi has defeated me for the moment. Grr.

Happy Birthday! I hope you spend/spent it doing something fun and dubiously productive

It's on the bottom of the board, right under the CPU. Silver thing with a brass border.

I expect the main issue will be in keeping the regulator and crystal from coldbugging. The 19.2MHz crystal right under the core is not going to appreciate Cold at all.

I have a Pi. I'll see if I can find time to download/run that.

Aha, well that explains that. Thanks!

We were told earlier that a FM link won't cover for results.txt That said, at the time that was submitted it was perfectly legal, so it stands now too. Otherwise most of the database would have to be deleted!

There are a ton of scores that lost all their validation during server moves. Are they all invalid now?

Nice of 'em to jump on it and get it fixed.

Nice score! Looks like you fixed your GPUz issues. What was the fix?

I'd say it's two 460s, as it requires a SLI enabled motherboard to function if I recall correctly. I don't think it's a huge deal either way though.

I see a pink hair dryer in the upper right, I think

World Record!

Awesome! I don't have any backups, but I'm very happy to see the wrapper getting updated!

Cinebench needs a wrapper, there are some files you can edit to set your score to anything you want, or to (seriously) muck with the timer that calculates said score. That was as of cinebench 11.something (I think) about a year and a half ago, haven't looked since. Very nice to see pifast getting a solid wapper, I like the bench (though I'm terrible at it), so I'm glad it'll be secured and sticking around. I did indeed mean 3d05 not pc05, thanks! I don't know of any good, secure, system benches unfortunately. I think that if I had supreme control over everything, I'd first spend some time securing the benches that we want to keep, before doing almost anything else. Once that was done, I'd shift focus to adding/removing benches/points/etc. It's hard to have a meaningful competition when MSPaint can be king, you know? I personally bench because benching is fun, benching and beating other people is more fun, but I enjoy just the benching. That said, I'm far enough down the rankings that there's no incentive other than beating more people (down in the rankings...) to cheat. At the top level, the pro level, there is a far stronger incentive to win at all costs by any means. This is far from unique to OCing of course! A quick read through a vaguely honest history of NASCAR (or F1, or almost any other racing series) will turn up all sorts of entertainment... Anyway, securing the benchmarks the pros are going to be using in the new league would be #1 for me. Then securing the benchmarks that give globals, and then securing those that give HW points.
