The official HWBOT Team Cup 2019 - SC4: DDR4 thread.
Dead Things replied to Lopata's topic in HWBOT Competitions
You mean just opening the SPD tab will make the stick info get populated in the validation link? ahh - that's a good idea TAGG - thanks. I'll try that. -

@Leeghoofd How do I force it to do that if it doesn't do it on its own? The sticks were specified in the sub and visible in the rig pic. https://hwbot.org/submission/4212903_ -
The official HWBOT TEAM CUP 2019 thread
Dead Things replied to Leeghoofd's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Apologies if this has already been clarified - skimmed the thread but didn't see anything. Will an unlocked X2 be allowed for SC2-S7? Or must it be a native X3? -
Feedback for deaf ears: rules re: mainboard tab and sensors tab are just good ol' fashioned retarded. Finally managed to fit it all in my window. Good luck to mods trying to make sure my competition wallpaper is compliant.

Beauty - that worked! Thanks a bunch cbjaust!

Looks like I'm missing something. Admittedly, I haven't been keeping up with HWBOT rules very well lately. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here? http://hwbot.org/submission/3990096_ Thx!

Did this with an AMD Phenom II X2 555BE with the 3rd core enabled. Tried manually editing the submission after uploading it, but that didn't work either. Here it is: http://hwbot.org/submission/3732439_ edit - In fact, doesn't look like I'm able to edit any of my submissions that use a datafile upload to reflect the 3rd core being active. Same problem is happening with HWBOT Prime now. http://hwbot.org/submission/3732444_ And... ditto for x265: http://hwbot.org/submission/3732447_

Thanks for putting this together TASOS! I'm looking forward to it! Just one question - would we be allowed to use slockets to run Socket 370 chips on Slot 1 non-Intel boards?

Official Country Cup 2017 thread
Dead Things replied to yosarianilives's topic in HWBOT Competitions
For stage 2, what is the rule for unlocking cores? Phenom X2 550 BE, for example. Is it still a dual-core CPU with cores unlocked? Also, is "Please attach a picture of your overclocking rig in use" considered a polite suggestion again? Sounds similar to "Please provide a screenshot with official background, CPUZ CPU, mainboard, memory and SPD tab and GPUZ for 3D stages" - which is obviously not a polite suggestion.- 68 replies

Have a single or a few stages for Xeons and titans
Dead Things replied to Jumper118's topic in HWBOT Competitions
I thought about that too! But then, like mr.paco said, it's better to try to make the comp reasonably accessible and most people don't have workstation cards. Maybe we can have one stage for the more attainable workstation cards like the the Quadro FX 3700, for example. Maybe we could even allow cross-flashing from GeForce to Quadro for the comp. edit - FX 3700 is the 8800 GT in workstation's clothing -

Dead Things replied to Jumper118's topic in HWBOT Competitions
That's a good point. I do like the notion of retaining some element of era-appropriateness, so how about opening up the GPU requirements to say 2-3 eligible generations per stage rather than forcing just the one? Would that help? -

Dead Things replied to Jumper118's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Thanks for the corrections! And yes, all of your interpretations of what I meant to say have been correct. Sorry I couldn't be more clear in the first place! In my personal opinion, I would be in favour of ES chips being allowed for this. It is an OC competition, after all. -

Dead Things replied to Jumper118's topic in HWBOT Competitions
Hi Mr. Paco, et al. Yes, I think you are right about that (^). Still I found I had trouble fathoming anything but a round-by-socket design when attempting to design stages. So I went ahead and did it that way. I hope you are able to find this helpful in some way: INTEL SOCKETS S775/S771 (Xeon-class processor required) - Stage 1 = 2 cores on 1 socket, SuperPi 32M - Stage 2 = 4 cores on 1 socket, 3D Mark 01 SE w/ GeForce 8000/9000 (single card) - Stage 3 = 4 cores on 2 sockets, PC Mark 05 - Stage 4 = 8 cores on 2 sockets, Cinebench R11.5 S1366 (Xeon-class processor required) - Stage 1 = UP Bloomfield/Gainestown, PiFast - Stage 2 = UP Gulftown/Westmere, 3D Mark Cloud Gate w/ GeForce 200 (up to 3x SLI) - Stage 3 = DP Gainestown, wPrime 32 - Stage 4 = DP Westmere, GPUPI 1B S1155/S2011 (Xeon-class processor required) - Stage 1 = UP Sandy/Sandy-E, Aquamark w/ GeForce 400 (up to 2x SLI) - Stage 2 = UP Ivy/Ivy-E, 3D Mark 01 SE w/ Radeon HD 7000 (up to 4x Xfire) - Stage 3 = DP Sandy-E, HWBOT x265 1080p - Stage 4 = DP Ivy-E, Geekbench3 Multi S1151/S2011-3 (Xeon-class processor required) - Stage 1 = UP SuperPi 32M - Stage 2 = UP Catzilla 1440p w/ AMD R5/R7/R9 200/300 (single card) - Stage 3 = DP 3D Mark Vantage w/ Nvidia GeForce 900 incl. Titan-M (up to 4x SLI) - Stage 4 = DP Cinebench R15 AMD SOCKETS S939/S940 (Opteron-class processor required) - Stage 1 = 1 core on 1 socket, PC Mark 04 - Stage 2 = 2 cores on 1 socket, Aquamark w/ Radeon HD 2000 (up to 2x Xfire) - Stage 3 = 2 cores on 2 socekts, Cinebench 2003 - Stage 4 = 4 cores on 2 sockets, 3D Mark 05 w/ GeForce 7000 (up to 4x SLI) S1277 (Opteron or FX-class processor required) - Stage 1 = DP Santa Rosa/Windsor, PC Mark Vantage - Stage 2 = DP Santa Rosa/Windsor, 3D Mark 06 w/ Radeon 5000 (up to 3x Xfire) - Stage 3 = 4P Barcelona/Shanghai, GPUPI 100M - Stage 4 = 4P Istanbul, wPrime 1024 G34 (Opteron-class processor required) - Stage 1 = DP Magny Cours, 3D Mark Sky Diver w/ GeForce 700 incl. Titan-K (up to 3x SLI) - Stage 2 = DP Istanbul/Abu Dhabi, Geekbench 4 Multi - Stage 3 = 4P Magny Cours, Y-Cruncher 10B - Stage 4 = 4P Istanbul/Abu Dhabi, HWBOT x265 4K I didn't bother going back to Socket 603/604 or earlier, because I figure that's OSIBS territory. I also didn't mess with 4P 2011+ because I figure that's IT pro/elite territory. I also tried to mix in various GPU combos with an eye towards 1) some limited degree of era-appropriateness and 2) maxing out some of the bigger scores that could benefit most from the MP Xeon/Opty chips. Hopefully at least some of this will be helpful to you. If not, that's cool too. I had fun designing it, so if this is as far as it goes, I'm still happy! edit - I should note that in my mind the UP/DP requirements can include populating just 1 socket on a DP board or 2 sockets on a MP board and that's totally legit. -
Have a single or a few stages for Xeons and titans
Dead Things replied to Jumper118's topic in HWBOT Competitions
I fully agree - and this is how Jumper envisioned this thing to begin with in the OP. Would give us all a chance to focus in on a platform for a while and eek out as much performance from it as we can. The more I toy with ideas in my tiny brain, the more I keep coming back to this round-by-socket formula. -
That's cool - they were just some ideas to help TASOS out. Please feel free to refine them, replace them, or submit your own. Personally - I'm up for pretty much anything. I think TASOS has a good idea of what he wants to do with OSIBS this year and I'm excited to find out what he decides.

Dead Things replied to Jumper118's topic in HWBOT Competitions
I'll put some thought to it this weekend. As a collector, it's sometimes hard for me to remain cognizant of what is reasonable to expect others to have or acquire for comps like this. Maybe I'm the only one here with Dempseys and nobody else is even remotely interested in going out and acquiring those old, hot, slow chips. (But historically fascinating seeing as how Woodcrest was released mere weeks later!) -
You make a point, TASOS. It is a legendary piece of hardware, though - and if not in OSIBS, then when do we get a chance to bench it? (Then again, same could be said for Socket 4 I guess - if not OSIBS, when? Never?) It's your call though... edit - changed my mind about the following: Backup proposal: Remove Geforce 256 from Stage 2, move Geforce2/Radeon 7000 down to Stage 2, move Radeon 9000 down to Stage 4 and add GeForce 6000/Radeon X800 to Stage 5. Howabout we just swap in Voodoo2 SLI for GeForce 256 instead?
-
It occurs to me - although I'd personally love a chance to bench Socket 4, it may be more difficult to acquire than the others. So I might propose this as a potential replacement round: Round 2b: Slot 1 Stage 1: PII "Celeron" PiFast (single-slot only) Stage 2: PII wPrime 32M full-out (multi-slot OK) Stage 3: 3DMark 2000 w/ PII & GeForce 256
