Cool, thanks guys.

I used win7 64 drivers for server 08. That worked fine, although getting CCC working either never happened, or I had to install .net to get it working - its been a while and I can't remember exactly.
What do you mean d3d was ruining it? Glad you got it working anyways.

I have noticed lately that my league points are eroding about .1 daily. Is that normal?
Usually when my point totals change, I can find that here:
http://hwbot.org/user/i.m.o.g./#Points
I've noticed many days when I go to check if anyone has taken down any of my scores, no one has, but my total is still .1 lower than the day before.
Not a big deal. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same?

Virus scan can vary a lot I think. I was getting 275 or so.
I didn't pay much attention because it can't compete in virus scan. In general usage it shows potential... though its beginning to look very rare/exceptional.

Thanks s_a_v, appreciate your experience also.
I agree, I feel like it has to have something to do with caching. The really big Gen usage scores are mostly done by mikecdm, stevero, and myself (we all have multiple big Gen usage submissions) - all with discrete raid with onboard ram caching. For whatever reason, onboard Raid boosts virus scan, but it does not do that well on Gen usage.
There are a couple exceptions however, and all of those I am aware of are done with revodrives.
I am going to keep trying different things, will report back anything I can figure out.

Thank you for sharing christian. Helps to know I am not alone.
I have knopflerbruce. On my areca 1882ix performance scales along with pcie freq - it is a small percentage increase for each mhz. It doesn't make any difference as far as I can tell for the revodrive... certainly it doesn't make up for 600 or 700MB/s.
One thing about these revos is obvious - different models use different numbers of nand. The 240gb edition has many empty nand banks. The 480 and up have all banks populated.
Another is less obvious - the 240gb edition uses micron nand, the 480gb edition uses Intel nand.
I have ran the suite of ssd benchmarks on the revo 480gb, and my performance is what it should be - noticeable improvement across the board over the 240gb version.
This is not reflected at all in general usage performance however. Sweet hasn't been active in a few days, but I bet he may help if he knows any tricks... the revo is pretty simple tho. I don't know how much there really is to tweak.

Anyone with revodrives around here?
I have a Revodrive 3 X2 480GB (Intel NAND) currently and I'm trying to figure out why the performance is limited to 133MB/s or less for General Usage.
That is roughly the same score I got with my old Revo:
Revodrive X2 100GB 130MB/s: http://hwbot.org/submission/2231703_i.m.o.g._pcmark_2005_fx_8120_30876_marks
Revodrive X2 100GB 116MB/s: http://hwbot.org/submission/2234747_i.m.o.g._pcmark_2005_fx_6100_19829_marks
This review has results of Revodrive 3 X2 240GB (Micron NAND) - 132MB/s: http://www.funkykit.com/about-us/8962-review-ocz-revodrive-3-x2-240gb-pcie-ssd.html?start=4
I see other people running Revodrives with better Gen Usage results.
Sweet 906MB/s Gen Usage (Revodrive 3 X2 480GB): http://hwbot.org/image/739126.jpg
HybridChiller 804.6MB/s Gen Usage (Revodrive X2 960GB): http://hwbot.org/submission/2190304_hybridchiller_pcmark_2005_2x_xeon_x5550_36333_marks
Anyone else with Revodrives that can run General Usage and give further examples of Revodrive PCM05 performance? Other than a couple exceptionally good General Usage scores, I can't find any other examples of good scores on Revodrives.

Blew a tire at 7GHz mountain... 1.36 VID, and a real dud of a clocker.
1st bulldozer: 7.7GHz
2nd bulldozer: 8.2GHz
3rd bulldozer: 7.05GHz (puke)
Packed it in, letting it melt and dry off.

Nice work Jonnie!

I'm just flashing bios and getting ready here, but anyone interested in hanging, I'll be livestreaming here:

This is an untested FX-8120, on the CVF. I'm following this guide:

You wait, until the bug christian has linked to ~70 times is resolved.
Sometimes it fixes itself - it took me a day or two for my points to show up. Others the points havent ever shown up.
Currently, theres this 3D06 bug, the team points bug, and the global points adjustment that are pending fixes/improvements... all are a pretty big deal for points calculations in my opinion. The current point standings will shuffle quite a bit once all 3 things are addressed.
What is up with hwbot dev time lately? For a while, it seemed like improvements and fixes were rolling out at lightning speed - it was noticeably impressive. Lately it hasn't been as fast - not that I'm complaining. I just recognize a difference, and I am curious what has changed. You guys do a good job and all.

Didn't tear down, somehow the PWM got wet (it was fully vaselined)... Smoke escaped through the vaseline also.
-
Cool, thanks for the tip! I just looked at the top scores currently and followed suit honestly, these are dirty scores, so I'll keep that in mind once I rerun. The 2600K is dead, so just waiting for Ivy Bridge now. :-/
-
It already said not allowed in the first post for americas, I don't understand what all the Ivy discussion is about.
-
Long thread, didn't read all the replies.
The first post makes 100% sense. This is an issue related to the minimum points for UGP and has been reported before. In our buglist, we have a task to address this with a small finetuning of the UGP in exotic categories.
http://bugs.hwbot.org/browse/HWBOT-694
Not sure when it will be actually in production.
- 10pts for a global with 10 or less submissions
- 20pts for 10-20 subs
- 30pts for 20-30 subs
- 40pts for 30-40
- 50pts for 40-50
- 60pts for 51+
-
3rd times the charm they say, I need to kill something else before Ivy Bridge comes out... You know, get it out of my system.
8.23GHz 8120 - dead
5.76 2600K/P67A-GD65 - unknown (letting the mobo dry out, not sure what all is dead yet)
Next chip - doomed
-
I said 3d06 bug referencing the open issue on submissions not receiving points, failing recalculation, and getting an error about selecting a row in the table. Maybe it isn't 3d06 only, but that's how I've seen it reported - you have an open critical ticket for this one too.
-
Its a logged bug, awaiting resolutionocx should be first and shrimps should be 13th or so. I believe its in a race to the death against the 3d06 bug... not sure which one will win!
-
@k404: I have my own batch of 8800's I plan to jump in with, and didn't know about this comp when I pm'd you.
I was starting work today, but had moisture problems... letting things dry out, and I am hoping the CPU lives at least. The mobo would be easily replaced, if the chip is dead then I am out.

Your digi-vrm settings may not be optimal for air cooling. They are configured for the most part to create maximum heat... That can be ideal if running subzero, but switching frequencies could probably be lowered as well as some other things if you don't have a strong cooling setup on your power section, or LN2/DICE temps crawling across the PCB.
I also always disable anything that says "protection"... If you are getting shutdowns when OC'ing, it could be due to something trying to protect you from getting a better score. Or it could be trying to protect you from blowing stuff up, but that sounds pretty boring right. I disable over-current/over-temperature (could fry your board though).
You also have speedstep, virtualization, and other power savings type features that are not going to help benching scores.
Just my .02 - I didn't go through all the settings, but at a glance these are things that caught my attention.
