However..omitting the two dots and replacing it with single "e" would make it awkward

Таракан I'm a foreigner and can spell your real name correctly. Семён is like Симеон (Simeon) in Bulgarian, should be transliterated to Semyon or whatever, not good in transforming cyrillic names into latin characters. At least that's what would sound like the real name when read. US/English equivalent would be Simon Avdeev is easy .

The only result he has with the ES chip is the cpuz frequency submission. I wonder why. Pi1M, Pi32M, WP32, WP1024 are all retail chip results. They are all messed up with Mad's retail or it's just a diffrent cpu from his ES? Yeah, I know it could be different cpu, but the explanations are still not convincing enough (or at all) to me. And I agree with people saying that it's not fair to require a live session for the Brazilian guys and nothing similar for these results from HKEPC. Plus they should have plenty of LN2 and resources to do it, while other people hardly ever buy new hardware and don't use as much LN2 as they want. Not that it will be a 100% prove, when we know the fact they have more than two 6.8 - 6.9 Pi32M chips.

Nice card you have there. Mine can run 1000 memory on stock, but not through the whole benchmark. It was very hot when I tested and guess it overheats. See you soon

Nice. Can't beat that efficiency with my board. I'm playing brute force with high clocks, but that's still not enough.

Wish I had better efficiency on that board, though... otherwise the card is great. Have even 446MHz gpu with the bugged driver.

Congrats for the DDR record, I'll leave you on #1 for couple of days

Challenge accepted.

That's good news. It's pretty hard to make a screen with all 4 cpu-z instances and wait for both cpuz-cpu and cpuz-mem to update after fsb change. You saw how unstable it is...

Is one cpu-z instance with mem tab enough? If so, it will make my life easier.

Not sure, impossible to control and read correct temp with tinfoil, but I belive something between 0 and -10, no more. If too cold, there's a blue screen - restart sequence. Done literaly for 10 min, have to try harder next time. Your cpu seems fine, it's just the board that is tuned for BH-5/UTT and higher capacity modules (1GB). My Expert doesn't clock well even BH-5.

Ok, back in my possession. Will try for higher freq soon.

I agree with slamms. Me and other small fish in hwbot ocean that work hard for their money and then buy everything from the store or ebay at regular prices, when see such resuts and behavior from top and great overclockers, we simply get demotivated. In the end, we don't feel hwbot as a fair playing field. At least me... can't speak for the others. And I don't care about PCMark, so that's not a valid forgiving reason for me .

Imo, it's either allow it or disallow it for everyone, including the old scores. Yeah, I know some of the top scores will fall, but according to the rules back then, for me it was also not legit, because it's causing the benchmark to not render some parts of GT2 and GT3, which gives a big boost (~300p). If it gets forbidden now and old scores remain, how we are supposed to break them? It's like tolerating a "cheat" driver for some and forbidding it for others. If I'm not mistaken the bug is with GF4 only, but I was not able to install it on GF3 to verify (black screen and monitor going "out of range" before desktop) and my FX5900XT is now with LN2 clocks, because I forgot to change the bios >.<. GF2 can only run GT1, which is not being rendered incorrectly, so no point in testing that. I also think the answer is rather late. I have a single run with that driver, but won't submit in the competition if noone else does. I asked about it more than 1 month ago and got no official answer, except those from Knut.

I have higher "validation only" This stick is crazy and actually scaled a little with cold, while my Adata (415MHz max) didn't.

Yeah, very hard to find these boards here as well.

I.nfraR.ed_absolutely_reliable, that's what I am

Once I did 3812.9 in dual channel 7-7-7, so that's mediocre at best...

Files that are already validated will be "invalidated" or this is only for future submissions? I'm sure the valids are ok, but I forgot to add "_reliable" after my nickname.

It seems that it's still working... This one is an older Windows installation and didn't notice that I'm using cpuz 1.60 on it. Didn't pay attention when it validated first time. Christian could say if it's ok to use as long as it validates. Otherwise I can rerun, but it took me 3-4 hours to get there.

Yeah, this stick is crazy. The other one is no way near this and it's actually worse than my best Adata Vitesta.

Nice start Good luck in the future LN2 sessions.

Benching alone 3DMark 03 for the TeamCup

You guys are killing me. This is nothing compared to my absolutely awful performance. I'm at much higher clocks (365/262) and got only 442.

It's obvious, no one wanna play in easy games ;p
