like I said on MSN a million times, I don't like the global/hardware TPP distribution I don't think that any hardware category (including the 50-pointers) gives as much hardware TPP as hardware UP, so all grinding now brings even less points to the team than in rev3 but on the other hand, global TPP is roughly ~3x higher than global UP ... meaning that teams with marketing pimps onboard have a nice handicap

http://hwbot.org/user/turrican/ -> Hardware library if you click on hardware categories that have "." in its name - you'll get an error

let me guess, you're short on LSD so you're looking for new ways to substitute it ?

judging by the CPUz version, this score is "not new"

nice mems on that card!

bugreport - if want to see someone's submissions in their profile - some benchmarks are mentioned multiple times (and those are not really cpu benchmarks) pic - http://h7.abload.de/img/aaa0uc0.png also (may be because of that) the 2D hardware points are calculated incorrectly ... an actual sum of all my 2D submissions is 7357.6 points (calculated manually) but hardware masters page says it's 7407

what's the batch of this CPU ?

what took you so long ?

that's just a shortcircuit waiting to happen

team member contributions are still calculated wrong, so are hardware points (I don't have 8K)

congrats on 9000 hardware pts !

sadly most marketing depts prefer the 1. option since the "girl" who sent you the stuff for review considers a negative review as a sort of personal offense for her "hard work".

what's the batch and PCB code of this CPU ?

so did Massman actually buy a retail X58A-OC as he promised to ?

Well actually, the idea doesn't sound all that bad since, in my personal opinion, a high-ranked overclocker must be capable of both 2D and 3D. P.S. thebanik, don't you worry ... that someone will upload some 3D within a month

which CPU was this done with?

in general case - PLL doesn't affect anything, nor does VTT

Don't expect much out of those P4 - I had similar air clocking ones, under LN2 they ranged from 6.8 to 7.7GHz. C360s are looking interesting, I never had good clocking air samples from that model. 5634B is a "too late" batch for a C1, all 5634B C1 i ever had sucked, however Gautam managed to get one to 7.6 347 you may have a typo there, most likely it's an L740... Most malay from 2007 and newer are very consistent, 5000-5200 on air, 7400-7600 LN2. Almost not interesting to bin yes, but I'd like both lines of the PCB texts

Christian, you may have been a bit overkill on the Vcore, most chips don't scale past 1.5V on air. But anyway, 5400-5600 is very nice on air, expect those chips to be very nice on LN2 unless you hit coldbugs or FSB walls 5200 air isn't bad too Do you mind sharing your test results? (batch/pcb/clocks) If it can't do 5000/1.45V suicide on air, then there's NO WAY it's an 8G chip ... air pretesting helps to get rid of the crap first so that you don't end up testing 30+ chips on LN2 with half stopping under 7GHz.

I found a special BIOS for a 4890 on my drive. No idea what that does but must be something special if I bothered to DL it back in the day. Link - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UAD4QT38

it's not a 3005F, these won't run 1M anywhere near 6.5

ASUS Blitz-something ?

very strong CPU ... back in the Conroe days such clocks would turn lots of heads

6GHz+ 3D benching is still there. The reason why you don't see so many 6GHz+ Pi scores is the well known problem of 990X/new 980X crapping out well below the wPrime/CPUtest-stable clocks. I know 7GHz chips that can't even run 1M at 6.2 As for wPrime, I think we already got that maxed in the last 980X wPrime contest

I used to have a couple of "exotic" ASRocks back in the s478 days - one P4Dual-915GL (which ended up in a fireball a couple days after purchase) and one P4 Combo (brand new board DOA)
