cpuz was fine with my Abit boards until 1.55 or 1.57, don't remember exactly. Then it was fixed in some of 1.6x versions. Haven't tried recently, but it seems to be broken again., however the issue in the past was wrong FSB detection.

Just don't make it past 7012MHz, ok?

Yep. How would you determine if I'm a skilled race-driver if I'm the only one in a race without any competition? What is the base you measure my skills against? I may even run with stock tires, without any suspension and aeordynamics tweaks, without even using 20% of the power I have in my hands, but will still be №1, because there's no competition.

You seem to miss the fact that the change is not applied on the production server and the missing points issue for some users is not connected in any way with the new algorythm. But on the topic, I agree with the things jjjc said. There are a lot of people benching old stuff that awards them 2pts or close to that. How running an obscure server setup is any different from this? If they are not doing it for the global points, then they will continue to run these setups. Otherwise it's just an exploit/backdoor in the point algorythm that these people are absuing. This change is not made to reflect time spent on a certain score, it reflects the competition in a certain ranking. You can't ever measure the time spent. I might have spent 6 hours on a single s.939 score that awards me 2pts. Should I get 15pts for that, or 20pts? I do it for the passion and for fun. Why should I have 60 global points in a category without any competition, while I'm getting 2 HW points in a non-popular hardware category. IMO it's the same, so the change is the right thing to do.

Well, it's almost always like that. If you want to maintain your position, you need to rebench all cards (which are still not dead ) with the new CPUs. It depends on benchmarks, ofcourse.

I don't have many exotic categories with a lot of points. Actually it might be Sempron 145 Cinebench only where I have full Global points and that's a rather popular category. Although I have many subs in low-points rankings with old chips/vgas, it won't hurt my ranking. There was definitely something wrong, because I had not global and hw points, but now they are back to normal level, though I expect when everything is recalculated I will move back to 30-40th place (16th now).

Think again OS4105WLU4DGN

I still have to test that, but just wow... it's 3:30 minutes better than my time!

Cinebench was crashing at 6.5GHz, but no problem with wprime, however score was awful - not worth posting it

Crucial Ballistix Tactical, I think.

You should consider changing the IV (4; four) in the title to VI (6; six) PS: Oh, I was late.

No ROG boards in Bulgaria as always. Will have to wait 2-3 weeks, I suppose. Gene is listed at 230 euro (without 20% VAT), but not available yet.

I want it, too. Can't download it from playstore while at work and it would be interesting to reverse-engineer it

Awesome, you're bringing Piledriver to a whole new level! Noone was interested in benching 15h for Pi, but now it would be interesting... Oh, and Insomnium:

What do you expect? He waited a whole 3 hours and noone responded. This is unacceptable!

You nailed it, nice! Don't think I can match that frequency.

Yes, he really deserves. I don't know any other overclocker that understands and knows these platforms so well. Good job, waiting for more impressive stuff

CPU-Z 1.60 is bugged and in which world Deneb/Callisto can handle DDR3-2400+

Honestly, PRO OC Cup was not interesting for me and I'm an extreme overclocker. What about "normal" people that the cup is supposed to attract into overclocking, was it interesting for them? I don't think so. It's like "watching" a car race (F1, DTM or whatever) on the live-timing only and not the actual race where you see the cars. And the Pro OC is not even live. the live thing is very hard/impossible to achieve in a long-term competition, so I don't think current way of doing it will change anything. Well ok, I've checked some of the scores which popped up on the front page, but that's all - there's no difference between this and old scores that were posted from members of Pro OC League. Allowing/disallowing ES chips in Pro OC Cup - it almost doesn't matter to me, it only matters to those pro overclockers that don't have access to ES hardware. Both ways Pro OC is out of reach for ordinary overclockers like me and I prefer it this way - pros are pros. Just hypothetically - even if you ban ES, that won't change the game. I still won't stand a chance against a binned retail out of 600+ cpus. I must have a huge luck to buy such a cpu from the store . Just my 50 cents.

Have you tred -20°C/-25°C for 1М?

Cores would be on the positive side of the temperature scale when loaded properly. No wonder they die with 2.2V @ -120C. Plus VRMs inside are not making it colder.

All these have CB? And what about CBB? That would explain the lower frequencies, even if they scale with excessive volts.

Interesting information, thanks. Yes, I have that issue with UP4. I was able to load Win7 at 111MHz bclk no problem, but with XP @ AHCI I should go down to 105 or so, then raise the bclk from Windows. Had to do the same with Win7 on IDE mode. So in fact PCI-E frequency is equal to BCLK when Mux not enabled (Gigabyte case)? I've used 120+ BCLK in the past, but don't remeber what sata mode and it was definitely a lower mem divider.
