  1. Do all XP-M chips come unlocked or you did some mods to get x15 out of a 2004-made Barton?
  2. I reckon this actually is highest socket A freq ever. Congratulations!
  3. Damn, 13 subs in less than one day. Most hardware categories don't get so much in a lifetime
  4. Are you sure that ASRock software reports the right voltage? Judging by VTT-DDR, the Vmem is around 1.91V rather than reported 1.86.
  5. The problem with Haswell K-chips (especially retails) is that IMC capable of running PSC at 1333+ 8-12-8-28 on air even at Pentium core/cache speeds is ridicilously difficult to find. Another problem with result reliability are the frequency-dependant voltage holes with PSC at 1333 and onwards. For example, you can have a kit capable of doing certain settings at 1.78-1.79 all day long, 1.80-1.84 will fail first loop for no apparent reason, 1.85+ will work fine again. When you're on air binning mems, you're usually not in a hurry so you can figure such things out. But when you're pushing other components and just want stable RAM clocks, this might indeed be a big nuisance. In general, I think that PSC (and may be also some BBSE) are the only ICs running which at high speeds (1333+) with high-clocked i7 is noticeably harder than with low-clocked Pentium. So yes, low-clocked results might be misleading in a way but if you take that into account, you can still make a decent judgement on kit quality rather than shelling out hundreds of dollars/euros on forums/ebay for kits without a single listed result. What comes to the other ICs - from what I've experienced so far on different kinds of Samsung and Hynix, you get a bigger voltage difference going from board to board than from going from Pentium to a 5GHz i7.
  6. What sort of Samsung do you have? If that's anything based on 2Gbit revision D then for benching it's going to be better than anything based on MFR, unless you need MFR's (potentially) higher capacity for daily aplication.
  7. Don't panic, such things are not punishable on this site as everyone makes mistakes. It's only a matter of time before one of the mods sees it and puts your score in the right category
  8. Shouldn't there be an "obvious" (i.e. noob-understrandable since all you care is new blood) point (i.e. "why should I bother submitting") behind any ranking or you like having more rankings just for the sake of having more rankings?
  9. With two active team rankings, how will you now define "World's #1 overclocking team"?
