    ROG OC Team Edition 2 - Stage 3... Why the temperature monitor?

    in HWBOT Competitions

    Posted

    Finally, how valid is HWMONNITOR showing only the core temperatures (temp = Tjmax - DTS value) ?

    An example, between several, of surely honnest people :

    stivut`s Geekbench3 - Multi Core score: 22963 points with a Core i7 7700K

     

    I mean i've ran 5374mhz on my 7600k for GB3 in the past Frito`s Geekbench3 - Single Core score: 6040 points with a Core i5 7600K

     

    other than them running a really high voltage for ambient which is their risk to take I don't see it being impossible to do on ambient TBH.

    Wow can't see CPU-Z version and the render is partially blocked.

     

    Websmile, I hope you don't mind if I add this little bit as a reply to a post that isn't there now.... I've had my 1080P monitors for eight years now (they were $130 CAD each)... Before that I had CRT monitors that could do 1600x1200. Saying "I'm an old bencher" when we've had access to fairly inexpensive monitors for some time (and probably wound up updating some of the ones in our places anyways) seems like a rather odd thing to say. My "main" benching monitor (well, center screen in my gaming rig atm, but will be my benching monitor again in a few months when I finally upgrade my gaming rig's monitors) was all of $80 CAD to pick up, and that was something like a year ago.

     

    Indeed screen resolution limits is a pretty crazy excuse 1920 x 1080 displays are dirt cheap 2nd hand a dime a dozen and as you said even old CRTs could commonly do 1280 x 1024, 1600 x 1200 etc.

     

    Edit: sort of related, i had an XTU sub removed because XTU (incorrectly) reported 5.01 ghz due to bclk buggyness with XTU, i subbed it anyways as an improved score seeming to recall websmile saying 5,01 was alright and totally should have looked for what he stated in here to refresh my memory but didn't and once it was removed i looked that up and saw that he indeed said 5,00 XTU. 5003 in cpu-z. this sort of complaining is like if i complained about XTU being buggy and reporting 5,01 where cpuz never even broke 5 ghz ever with bclk drift but i did not so there is no point. The only thing i would say is it should be stated in the stage rules to make it easier to find (stage rules just said 5003 in cpu max)

     

    In any event though great competition everyone, this comp was actually what got me into overclocking comps on hwbot via r/overclocking and to websmile we appreciate the hard work you put in and know its not easy to moderate all this esp with the state of slowness of the site under load. I also apologize for subbing that XTU sub without re-checking what you stated in this thread i totally should have but idk was just pretty happy with my bump'd up score so i subbed it under the assumption i remembered correctly but obviously I didn't.

    $@39@ is cheating X265 and HWBot Prime

    I don't think the approach you guys taking is very productive , shaming or banning someone is one thing and I understand that but this won't stop ppl from doing it ,you have the best and the brightest in tweaking why not reward them instead ,put them on the payroll and watch how your benching app improve ,Bot have been around for years and should have the best/cheat proof benches available by now ,need to level up bro's

     

    I'm not new to PC's or overclocking, my first pc was a Pentium 75mhz and i've been overclocking sense celeron 300A days but am new to getting into comps and such but i have to agree.

     

    The thing that has surprised me the most about HWBOT is that its almost at times how much you know about specific benchmarks and tweaks required to score highest for a given setup that matter end of the day and that info is usually hardest to figure out. its also kind of blown me away at how honor system everything is but i kinda understand that sense many benches can't produce specific validation files and whatnot but still if work was rewarded/put in on discovering really game breaking exploits like this one and then used to fix the situation that is better overall than just punishing the offenders for finding it but at the same time we'd need to expect everyone that finds a really lame exploit like this to report it and not just pretend like they found some special driver/software tweak that gives them the result and keep it a secret which in a competitive environment people will never be inclined to do so not sure how to handle it, it is quite difficult.

     

    But in any event to give my rookie .02 cents on things i think you'd see more participation if things required a bit less tweaking/discovering the trick to specific benches. Some of us find it fun to search and ask around to figure out how the heck people manage certain scores that seem impossible but at the same time it can be quite frustrating to newer competitive overclockers looking to get into it.
