haha in the competition engine I selected: socket 771/775 socket motherboards not allowed.... added free text now

nope it is still a socket 775 socket motherboard

DDR: yes DDR2: Processors with a socket LGA771, LGA775 socket socket are forbidden.

The more the merrier

Can it go higher?

yes that's next on the drawing board, some stuff must be specified in there so we can keep the simple format here. Suggestions are welcome!

Some screens and such got affected (shrunk, even removed) due to the database migration. Same for the current rules, they evolved over time. Keep in mind that for sure the top scores were in full compliance with the rules at that era. I an understand this can be confusing for new users, but it's the only way to correctly approach these things. Now you reported this score several times, with it each time being overruled by the moderator. I hope you understood that this particular score stays in the Dbase.

wtf I sold my 2600K 5.9Ghz for 150 ?

like many noticed the rules were hit and miss over the last week, mainly due to an issue wth the Amazon hosting and the Wordpress server HWBot still uses for articles and especially the hated rules section. So time to have a look at the curent rules and try to simplify them. So everyone can have fun again without the requirement of being a NASA engineer to analyse and understand them. An example of Maxon's Cinebench R15: Old rules: versus new rules: No more loss of time debating over the ability to be able to push the bclock , FSB, or whatever you want to call it. Thus no more distinction between desktops/laptops,.... one simple rule for all platforms. I prefer this far simpler layout, covering the standard stuff. General warning: Rules can remain this simple if everyone abides them. If people start bending again, we will end up for some benchmarks with twice the amount of content again. So play it nice to keep everyone's life as easy and straightforward as possible. You can check out the other benchmarks via the frontpage. 'BVoth the old and new proposed rule are present. Keep in mind that the Beta benchmarks are not redone yet, but you will get the global idea. Opinions, thoughts are welcome. Don't worry updated screenshot examples will be added too. Remember the aim is to make these rules easier understandable for everyone.

if you can dig up them batches Allen

Reflection point: the Apex is the most used board, so there should be a lot of these cold scared cpus if it would be just the board right...

Push your memories of you want to increase scores for this benchmark

Even though it might not show anything add a 2nd CPUZ for memory on top of the HWinfo

we need some sort of memtimings to be visible. what do you provide as an alternative for the mems? Aida64 or ...

Correct, getting the most efficient OS to work can be a real struggle XP is the biggest challenge, grab your OS here :

Don't forget to use the official competition background all and add a setup picture plz, people luv hardware pron

ow damn he found his USB dongle again :)

yep looks fine

New 2020 scores: Require CPU-Z 1.91 or newer version New 2020 scores: Full desktop screenshot required ( no clipping)

I don't even care if it was Angelina Jolie making the statement... the screenshot was as false as it could be... though I would buy her a drink ... or two ?

The processor lowest temps (idle) read out by Benchmate must be 15C or higher... Not talking bout fluid temps. So if you set water temps at 5 and the benchmate program reads out 15 your are fine

Pretty safe temps, what voltages were needed for 4.4? Take into account this test is pretty hard. In gaming your temps could be way lower. 4500Mhz is a nice nr

better post a screenshot of your current score so peopel can examine your settings

DDR GPUs changed to AMD/ATI
