  1. Thanks for the tips it was good to start with..

    Actually found a link for modded drivers to x570 on other forum:

    https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/12/windows-7-usb-3031-amd-x570-drivers.html?fbclid=IwAR0pRDU_ts0rZb5mQ5OsCqM0B6rU5L6dKmvV3XgvufXbXgrKAYMLe2iGItA

    But since i do not have an am4 board with ps2 to prepare the install, I've asked a friend of mine to do it for me then simply booted from that pre-installed drive with usb drivers. It loaded a bit for a minute or two but after that works like a charm. Actually on the Impact not much slots left for a ps2 pcie card anyway haha. So credits goes to my buddy @northsys ;).

    Benchmarks to come...

    I've benched yesterday for a couple hours with bios 3101 and an 5950x, seemd fine for first look. Even ln2 switch was working and no stupid high cb (-20C) post issues with it like in earlier bioses.

    I've revisited yesterday this bios and it seems my cpu has no CB and CBB at -162C with fclk 1433, board worked like a charm. Best bios so far according to my experience.

  3. 01, 03, 05 are the the most influential bechmarks since long ago, lot of ppl who are here today entered to subzero cooling on those ones, I think you should not underestimate the emotional value of those old legacy stuffs. Of course it is killing the purpose of being a 3d bench, it is 2d long ago, but who cares, if you wish keep them as cpu benchmarks move to 2d category lol. However it gives you back nice memories and motivates you to still bench frankly speaking that would be the main goal of changing on the rules, no? I dont care about the new 4k-8k benchmarks, I'll run my fav bench anyway whenever it worth point or not, but if you support the will of the community it would be a nice thing. I'm with it should have all globals or neither, I like consistency.

  4. Today's ln2 experience on 2x Impact.

    strated with bios 2502, ln2 switch on, -20C in bios, posting only possible after cmos reset, if i set anything manually, error code F9 and no post. I kept trying and struggling for like 30 minutes at least.
    same behavior with 2402... so downgraded to 2311 where finally this issue disappeared. I was able to bench flawless after that. -142C boot at FCLK1900 no problem, CB -149.

    Friend of mine was benching next to me with his same cpu+board setup, he kept trying with 2402 bios, got the very same issue. He figured out that ln2 jumper disabled is eliminating the not posting F9 issue under cold. He continued to bench with that bios and had a lot of struggle with coldbug at around -130 and coldboot at -100C.

    We also experienced efficiency difference in R15 which i think might be related to the different agesa patch. Not sure, could be something OS related but after I examined the uploaded results, I see a slightly chance to bios 2311 scores are lower compared to same clocks on newer bios. Would need to rebench to figure out, but I'm out of ln2 and the will to refill. 

    Good luck fellas, this will be a bumpy ride :D

  5. My 5 cent.

    First day after release in house results were always strong and yes it can destroy the spirit of an average Joe even to try to compete. But it is not the issue or to blame the 1st places. I see no competition in the runner up category where it was enoromus presence in the past. Nowdays it can easily happen that between Allen's WR and a watercooled daily rig's result its like 3 to 5 entry uploaded and even the half of it is subzero. That is even more killing the will to enter. I think one root cause is the pointing system.
    Let's get the GPUPI for CPU - 1B as example, 6x global results. 1st place 181 pts, 5th position 69 pts and from the 8th position it worth 1 fuggin global.
    Lets check 2nd example Cine R15, 6x global results. 1st place gets 161 pts, 10th position already just 61 pts. Its still too much points for the top results and too less for the runner up. Normally in top 10 its like at least 3 to 5 in house guys. What room left again for the average Joe? I dont see a lot of people would even try to compete anymore.
    The only thing motivates me to still bench nowdays from time to time is the curiosity of the recent architectures, because if I would do it for the boints It would be the worst challenging, worst rewarding online competition ever. If hwbot wants to be something more than an oc database, this must be changed.
