Honestly I don't know if it's bugged or not, but even my old score with lower clock is similar http://hwbot.org/submission/2633360_i.nfrar.ed_3dmark11___performance_2x_radeon_r7_240_8056_marks and all scores I got were in line with these 2. I should have some more screenshots if I didn't delete them. PS: On a second thought it might be really a little bit out of line. It didn't look wrong and finished clean in the end, but not sure if 30MHz on the cores for both cards could get 8pts more in CT. Although it was on a different windows. Don't ask me about tricks though, I don't know what I'm doing Btw, using 1.0.1 version of the bench which gives better physics and CT.

PCI was a big problem for me as well. I tried everything with Zotac 610 PCI. Fed it up externally from a HD4850 up to 1.4V and still didn't help, although it did 1300+ MHz for DX9 Heaven. However, on DX11 I can only see the Benchmarking... text when the bench starts and that's it. Monitor goes into power saving mode. I guess it can't handle the heavy tesselation, maybe the PCI bandwidth is too low for that kind of load? External power helped finish DX9 (it was not completing either before the mod), but not with DX11. I guess it's not a coincidence everyone used that little Radeon. Regarding the 3DMark 2000 it sure is a valid score, since everything was on stock, but there were cases competition scores had been removed for even smaller mistakes. I barely managed to finish it 4 min before the end, then make screenshot, photo, transfer from that rig to the other PC, upload..etc. But I really think we were 5th before that, so it doesn't really matter in that case, unless there are other invalid scores which can make a difference. But I think we need a confirmation from the staff that all results are valid, because even a single invalid score from any team in the top 10 or so would change the final rankings. So we need to know ASAP if it's ok to bench for the remaining week, or need to stop right now.

The SC4 of TeamCup is still crashing for me - null pointer exception. I think it might be because fgi submitted a new score after the cut and suppose it will happen with other subcompetitions as soon as someone else submits there. http://hwbot.org/competition/team_cup_2014_sc4/

When it's full, get a bigger monitor with bigger resolution - problem solved!

I was surprised it went that high and scaled all the way up to the max voltage from bios. 3.2GHz should be possible and with vcore mod to 2.4-2.5V might get even higher

Looking at my 3DMark 2000 score I realized it's invalid. Since it was in the last minute, I forgot to open the details screen. If I calculate it right, we might still qualify for the 5th place - excluding the recent fgi's realbench score, minus 22pts from 3dmark2000. AwardFabrik moves one place up and gets additional 1pt in this stage. However I can't check the realbench stage, because the page is crashing (java.lang.NullPointerException), so I'm not sure how many points we had before the cut, but if I remember correctly we were 5th even before my 3dmark 2000 score. Can someone from the mods verify all scores of the top-5 teams? I'm not going to delete mine for now, to ensure the integrity of the rankings before the check.

Greeks actually helped us Took some points from your team in the last hour and I could finally complete a 3dmark2000 run at stock with the 5th card I tried, then submit literally in the last minute. It was tough with so many stages without a score.

Hmm, why? It fits just right over the chipset cooler. You can also remove the top plate of the chipset cooler if you're worried.

"The Thing"

And I have a 2 times better score .

Definitely increased my hearthbeat. Hopefully that's your max Interested to see your CB11.5 score. It is possible to beat me there, since I have problems with high clocks.

Amazing!

It doesn't work correctly on every board and on some it doesn't even POST. Your best bet would be a board without UEFI bios.

This is fake, because I can't do it . Awesome.

I've sorted out mine as well, except there are 2-3 submissions that have the legit score inside, but need edit from a moderator. If you're going to make an exception for such kind of scores, I'd like to keep 'em. Otherwise, I can remove them too.

When half of your bed is occupied by hardware and when your gf comes you "temporary" move that hardware on top of the other hardware on the couch. Which, of course, was there just temporary

Ok, thanks. So I have 1-2 scores to remove then. Too bad we can't edit the scores ourselves. Oh, another question. What about scores linked to competitions? For example this one: http://hwbot.org/submission/2296871_i.nfrar.ed_ucbench_2011_core_2_e7500_%282.93ghz%29_310.4_mpt_score I don't care about it, but think it's a valid point in case some submissions have only bugged thread counts. Deleted my FX-9370 submission, #2 global 8-cores, but it had to go...

In fact every score (if the actual thread count is selected together with other "random" threads) contains the valid score too. For example, this score: http://hwbot.org/submission/2292481_i.nfrar.ed_ucbench_2011_athlon_64_4600_x2_windsor_186.9_mpt_score It's bugged, but #1 and #2 are ok and #2 is the valid score. What about this one: http://hwbot.org/submission/2260455_i.nfrar.ed_ucbench_2011_athlon_64_4200_x2_manchester_152.4_mpt_score Screenshot and images are lost, but the link shows that I've only used sse2 switch. Is it valid? It's not my fault the images are gone.

Nice! I have yet to try 3dmark2000 on this platform, but you're right - needs the right settings for best performance and difference between tweaked and untweaked system is significant in every benchmark with K6.

They sell only crap in this part of the world

Very nice! Will have to find a better cpu on water or go bruteforce and freeze my FX-57.

1/2" ID, 3/4" OD or 13/19mm, just the standard kind of tubing. I can get a normal tubing and insulate on the outside, but Norprene would be much better. FrozenCPU has it, but I want to avoid ordering from US. PS: Watercooling UK has it in Europe, but for the price per meter is not very attractive.

Btw, where can I find the Norprene tubing in Europe? I need 5-6m for a water chiller.
