Hey, what's the big idea, trying to make me rebench? ;) Nice subs unity!

"A VALID Futuremark verification link is required registered on your HWBot name" How strictly is this enforced? I think my Futuremark name might be slightly different than my HWBot name (NiobiumOC or something), is that okay?

Sent you a PM.

They're just resistors, so the orientation doesn't matter. As long as both pads are connected, you're good to go.

I'm all for picking a cheap GPU for this comp, the 1030s last year were pushing the limit a bit. $90 cards are substantially less disposable(for lack of a better word) than $25 cards. One thing I'm worried about with HD5450s though is that they might be too slow. GPUPi 1B was used in both S1 and S2 of cheapaz because it's an excellent bench for this comp, simple to run, scales perfectly, and it's almost entirely agnostic to the performance of the rest of the system. Unfortunately no one's subbed it on a 5450 yet, but it looks like it could be a 30+ min bench.(Or impossible to run altogether) That's too long IMO, especially on a comp where you're expecting lots of people to run DICE/LN2, potentially even for the first time. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Looks like I should have spent some more time investigating before voting. RX550s have gotten cheaper than I thought, and they support BIOS modding(AFAIK), so they sound like a solid option. 1030 DDR4 could be fun, but eh, it's probably too close to S2.

Exactly what richie said. Sorry about the screenshot settings not matching my post, just grabbed it from a bunch of screenshots that I took a while ago.

Have you checked to make sure the CUDA - Force P2 State flag is set to Off/False in the driver? Should be the default value on consumer Turing cards AFAIK, but it might have gotten changed somehow.

Nicely done!

Only $1300 to be competitive in 3D globals? Where do I sign?

CB was reading as -135Cish on the meter, probably closer to -140C actual.

Honestly, it seems a bit strange to me that the Titan V would be allowed while the Titan Z/Pro Duo are both banned. Any rarity or cost argument that could be made against either of the dual GPU cards seems like it would be an even stronger case against the TV.

You should have said something about needing a board in philly, you could have used my Z97 SOC LN2. @yosarianilives spent more time benching on that board than I did anyway(and developing a serious love-hate relationship ).

He had one job

Once you're past the power supply, the difference in mains voltage should have no impact on the rest of the system.

Guess I'll be the first to bite. mllr, you've got PM.

Interested in the 7700K. Has it been tested for R15 freq/any other multicore benches?

That's some chip!

Awesome event! It was great meeting everyone, and getting to do some benching at the same time. Special thanks to funsoul for organizing the venue and sponsors, and steponz and Lochekey for running the competition. And of course, thanks to Corsair for sponsoring the event. Hope to see you all next year!

It was running full pot, but I had to heat up to -165ish because the IMC had a CBB. Booted up 3600 just fine at -100, couldn't get above 3200 at -165.

Crazy chip!

Crazy chip!!!

I'll be coming as well. Going to be staying with that @yosarianilives guy, hopefully he's not a psycho or anything Nick : Niobium (Still waiting on a name change request, not like the bot has been busy recently or anything ) Profile : http://hwbot.org/user/niobium615 Team : /r/overclocking Do we need to bring an empty dewar to run LN2, or is that all sorted?

Crazy score, on a stock VRM no less!!

Wasn't running waza so the efficiency was going to suck regardless. This was just a test to see how strong the core was.
