Payment received for 4870x2. Package is ready and plan is to ship tomorrow. Update: Shipped 4870x2 & LN2 SOC .

Just an update ... EVBOT shipped last week. LN2 board is paid and remains to be shipped.

Hey Scott ! Hope everything is going well with you my friend ! Technically, I'm not exiting . I've been on the ice for many years without benching , without caring about benchmarks and new hardware ... and as a result not visiting hwbot and any other hardware sites . Right now, my plan is to keep only the old hardware which i really love. I can spend some hours on my beloved 386 or 486 , playing some old DOS games for example For start, i think i will sell almost everything i have that is made after 2006. That means i will keep my 939. It's the only PCIE platform that i'm thinking to keep. I'm still not touching my AGP platforms/hardware. Maybe after some more years i will sell some more ... but the P2-P3 era is the limit and i'd like to keep everything older than that.

Hello ! It's been a few years since i last benched... and honestly i don't know if i will ever come back. I moved twice during the last 3 years and i don't know what and where is every of my hardware. Anyway, I managed to find some stuff and decided to start selling. I have more things that i may sell in the future. I need to find them and catalogue them ... test them ... etc So , here is some things for start... 1) Gigabyte Z97 SOC FORCE LN2 - SOLD This board is totally unused. Never got out of the box ... with all accessories. I know it's a very rare item and there are both collectors and benchers looking for it. 2) EVGA Evbot - SOLD v Boxed ... CD & cables .... in amazing condition still wrapped 3) ATI 2900XT - Fully Boxed I have this one for nearly 10 years and never touched it. Price : 90 Euro 4) ATI 2900XT - Unboxed A second 2900XT ... no boxes/ accesories. Price : 50 Euro 5) Gainward 4870x2 Rampage 700 Edition GS GLH . It's a triple slot monster and one of the best binned cards - SOLD! https://www.computerbase.de/2008-12/test-gainward-rampage-700-gs-glh/ 6) Nvidia 7900GTX 512MB Price : 50 Euro 7) Ati Radeon X850XT - PCIE 256MB Price : 45 Euro 8 ) Nvidia 6800GT PCIE 256MB Price : 45 Euro If someone wants two or more parts, especially if one of the heavy boxed parts is in his list , i will make a bit better price for shipping. Thank you!

I might sell mine for the right price... It's boxed ... with full accessories ... never used. Just , "NEW and UNUSED" PM if interested

Hey , thank you ! I decided to spend some time with the board and my opinion is that I don't like this platform to be honest . :D I also made a better score with the same CPU and strangely both are up . I'll try to block this one or recalculate it and maybe it will disappear from the top scores .

NO WAY ! No PCMark !:D

Well done !

Kotori-san , P3C-D has the ability to use 100 to 180 FSB with 3 Mhz steps . Maybe a different crystal is enough , but i don't know if USB would continue to work properly . I have a turbo-PLL solution almost ready to be used , but zafiropo didn't want to mess with his board! I can also tell that board is slow . I tried some Spi1M runs but it's very slow compared to the BX chipset , so it just doesn't worth it (except for the benches that are not bandwidth hungry) .

Thank you Griff ! Once again your team produced some very strong results ! You have some very capable guys in your team

I remember seeing an error while installing the version 8 , but you just have to continue the installation ignoring the error . To be honest , i'm not sure VIA is faster . I have seen dozen of benchmarks from the old days till today . Also , wprime doesn't care about memory speed and cache (L2 or L3) . The benefit of the L3 was very small (Just a few points if my memory serves me right .

Thank you attilorz . Feel free to ask anything you want .

Thank you Stermy ! Your last run was very strong ! I tried to reach it with the same board (440bx) but couldn't . I managed to run the rage128 pro card up to 185/205

Can AIDA really tell if your rage card is 64bit or 128bit ? To be honest i'm not sure . I have tested 10+ cards and only one of them was reported as 128bit by AIDA . Of course i couldn't see any performance difference from the other 64bit cards (as reported by AIDA) . I believe the best way is to read the core letters after removing the heatsing ( GL & VR revision )

Java was jre-8u65-windows-i586 But to be honest , looking at "Dead things" score , his run was way more efficient . Dead Things`s HWBOT Prime score: 683.23 pps with a K6-2+ 550MHz Thank you both !

Fantastic efficiency ! What's the java version you used ?

Thank you both Considering it's a dual CPU board it did great . I wasn't expecting to max-out the PLL at 180MHz to be honest . Kotori-san , as i can tell by looking at your score , our runs were pretty close in efficiency . RDRAM doesn't help Pentium-III CPUs and performs close to SD-RAM . I believe the main reason i got to 12K was because of the CPU . If i had your SH6 board i'm sure i would have scored way higher . The 1000EB CPU was only at 2.05V & -30C . It was enough for booting , entering windows and running the benches . Totally stable at 180MHz FSB . Thank you again for your kind words !

For me is pretty simple . Either you follow the rules , or you are not . There are not grey areas . That's the way I work/play/live . At the end of the day , clean conscience is all that matters to me . Quadro2 pro cards are NV15GL are able to overclock a bit better from the ultra cards . Especially regarding memory clocks . I tested at least a dozen of various cards during last year . There are some very few exceptions of course . Geforce2 cards are starving for memory bandwidth , so even a small raise in memory clocks can skyrocket the score . And as you can see the retail GF2 ultra's are pretty consistent and they max out at around 275Mhz . Even a 50Mhz core o/c can't reach a 10-15Mhz memory raise . @TAGG , there are still quadro2 pro scores posted . The topic wasn't only for you . PS . I'm not a bad guy . Please don't make me feel like i'm doing something wrong here .

I feel sad seeing people posting with quadro2 pro cards modded & flashed with ultra bios . The rules were clear and it was also asked about a month ago . http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=166808&page=4

Amazing CPU GRIFF ! Congratulations for the efficient run Can you please write the stepping and date details of that CPU ? Is it a Malaysian ? I'm pretty sure that Northwood efficiency is due to the shorter pipeline stages (20 northwood - 30 prescott)

Thanks ! I was really impressed with that Matrox . Tha scaling was great ! 5 Mhz in RAM would give around 50 points overall . Temperature was around -120C . Colder and it would ruin the score . Thank you everyone

Regarding this : Stage-1: Wprime 1024M (divided by core count) S478 P4s have one core , but many of them have also HT . Please clarify if the score is divided by cores or by threads .

That's right . No magic trick except binning for cold . My first test is under SS (-50C) . For example , the Opteron 180 I used for this round is able to sit idle at -55C and 350-355 Mhz FSB , while at -75C can reach up to -330-335 Mhz FSB . I'm pretty sure it can bench every benchmark at 3600+ Mhz , but I didn't have time to find all the correct values ( Even drive strength values help with coldbug and stability at high clocks & low temps ) On the other hand , I have a question . I am 99.9% sure that the specific FX57 I benched is able to run 3dmarks at 3800+ Mhz and 32bit OS . It's the exact same one I used during the teamcup 2014 3dmark01 round . For some reason I couldn't bench cinebench even at 3700 Mhz . Anyone else noticed this difference ? I didn't have time to test my other 3 FX's and I'm still wondering what went wrong .
