starting from today, can't see any hardware category when navigate from the search tab this is what I get: http://h7.abload.de/img/lolsuqu.jpg

you think someone's rivalling your beloved madshrimps on the number of handed our awards (=badges =recommendations) ?

this present is as GEEKY as it gets

not all Denebs (especially the 3-letter C3 ones) scale well with volts above 1.8 as they do with temps so sometimes it's smarter to decrease voltage and get CPU temp down by a couple degrees rather than just shove 2.0V in

as long as you advertise ASUS, I don't think Andre will mind

it's CPU bottleneckedcompared to singlecard, SLi yields no more than 1k

it's only a matter of time before Hazzan wakes up (it's currently night in Asia) and beats you with a backup

I'm not really into PCM05 but I believe that it's been causing verification issues since the very first day of its competitive benching. Am I right by saying that there is no way even for the FM staff to tell whether the benchmark was manipulated in order to achieve those "too high subtest scores" ? If so, then it leaves only two options - "anything goes" and "remove". With first giving unlimited manipulation opportunities, I believe we may end up in the same situation as we did with 3DMark2000, so I had to vote for its removal. If there IS a way of telling - then I think we need to introduce a new set of rules and "save" PCM05 until we have something more decent to replace it with.

You got very lucky with that C0/C1 ES then. I had a few of those in the first days of 1366 - most couldn't even hit 200. On average, C1 retails were a tad better and D0 - even better than that.

congrats on WR!

I guess the 4x2Gb run is still to come, right ?

This CPU is currently over here, will see what I can get out of it

anything special you needed to make it run 1M or is it just a lucky sample ?

so 8088 isn't corrupt after all. Congrats on your accidental purchase

not showing the subtest details is enough for your score to be blocked

there's something strange with TPP calculation at the moment I had ~8506 TPP (checking the team contribution table). A couple of minutes ago I submitted six Phenom X2 560 wPrime scores (each worth 1.0-1.5 hardware UP) in categories that award none or very little hardware TPP. But right after that, my total TPP has grown to ~8570. I thought it was because of TPP globals, but no - none of those six scores are my global bests and 2nd/3rd/... best scores don't participate in global ranks. So I reckon I just got 50 TPP out of nowhere.

IIRC, the 1156 coldbug mod wasn't compatible with normal ambient usage, have you tried removing that ?

C1, especially ES, were very bad for BCLK .. did you try any D0 ?

I don't see anything wrong about using backups - it's nothing more than a way to disinform others about your top score so that others set their targets lower which is sometimes good, sometimes bad.

my limited resources are better than your limited resources

as I remember, 8320MHz P641 score was a badly photoshopped fake As for this P631 (first chip ever to break 8GHz, "the alien" as they called it) - I don't have much info on it. Batch - it was lapped before anyone could write it down. I heard that italian overclockers have bought a bunch of 631s at that time and all others were L534B, which is my most educated guess. If anyone still posesses "the alien" - PCB code would be much appreciated As for boards, 965 are very inconsistent, try to look for a "virgin" P5E3-Prem or a P5E64-WS-Evo for cedarmills

nice 2D vga

You have got to love your new CPU

Another person bought my reject and got 8GHz with it ... no big deal

You can pull your pot to -190 and then stop pouring. Technically, your rig will be air cooled
