I.M.O.G.

I believe this is the first ever vaseline pool - I actually made a video of myself pouring the melted vaseline on... Seems to be working: http://hwbot.org/submission/2222100_i.m.o.g._cpu_frequency_fx_8120_8060.51_mhz

Thanks Sebastian!

Thanks guy. I did do it before dolk... although it didn't turn back on the next morning. I haven't tested the chip again, but it is quite possibly dead. So dolk never got to take his own run at it. I had tried getting 275x25.5 for 7013mhz, but couldn't get a validation so settled for this one. So we compromised and drank crown with the guys.

BTW, if you want to search for scores on a specific piece of hardware, just start typing in the search box, then wait for a list of options to drop down... It was a bit slow for me to populate, and you don't get the advanced search options available on rev3, but it works.

Leave it blank. There were optional fields on Rev3 you didn't have to fill out also.

+1 Searching for past benchmark scores is the first thing I do before a session, to set my goals for what I'm looking to beat. Does it exist and we just aren't finding it?

Good stuff Bob! Benching party is in Philly next month, hope you can make it this year.

Thanks Miah! I bought some RAM to improve it, however unfortunately it wouldn't work in either of my AM3 boards, and now I've tested it on P67 and it doesn't work in that either - the guy I bought it from said it didn't work for him on 1156 either, but worked fine on 1366. The quality of my ram was the only thing standing between me and the efficiency I needed to change this 10th place score into a 4th place score. In 1024m, the ram wasn't holding me back: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/2136980_i.m.o.g._wprime_1024m_phenom_ii_x4_965_be_3min_3sec_499ms

Thanks dude! The people in my livestream were pretty helpful.

Just wprime1024 and 32 runs at these speeds, my superpi's are a bit faster but could be improved also. Still haven't figured out the problems with pifast, pcmark05 3d pixel shader, and 3dmark06. 3dmark03 runs fine, as well as wprime1024. Tried at stock and room temps, as well as -190 at a low 5Ghz. Missing something, but can't figure it out.

Nevermind, I'll just post something higher. I'll take this as a sign! :-D

How do you request hwbot staff correct points? This is worth points, as I don't have any higher 1090T submissions.

It has come to my attention that there has been some disagreement amongst hwbot staff over these accounts. As the operator of Overclockers.com, and having met Dejo once in person, I am interested in resolving any uncertainties. My understanding is that similar submissions, and the timeframe on submissions, has aroused uncertainty regarding if both accounts are legit. Is that what the problem is perceived to be from hwbot staff? If so, please inform me of any materials you require. Proof of purchase for separate GPU for 3D and separate CPU for 2D can be provided. Dejo's real name is Jonnie, and his daughter is October. He volunteered to host the Overclockers.com LN2 Benchmarking party last year. He is an asset to the benchmarking community, and an avid HWBot overclocker. October became interested after hanging out at the party with us. Jonnie then took the appropriate steps to do everything the right way... 1. He asked Massman about using his old 920 for her 2. Massman took a while to reply, Jonnie bought a new 920 for her in the meantime 3. Jonnie is teaching her the structure of benchmarking and overclocking, and their submissions look similar 4. He has 2 GPUs, but has only used one for her and one for him. 2x GPU submissions have been made only under one account. Cards are labeled so they know who's is whose. All screenshots are stored in separate folders on a USB stick Basically, I only met Jonnie once, but thats all it takes to know he's a straight shooter. He's trustworthy, honest, and he doesn't like bullshit - he'd be the last person to try and skirt the rules. His daughter's account was clearly named so it didn't look like they are trying to get away with anything, transparency. So maybe it doesn't count for much, but as the operator of Overclockers.com, I have no reservations about personally vouching for the legitimacy of all their submissions and him following the letter of the hwbot law - I'd put my own name and reputation on the line. October has used her own GPU for 3D, and her own CPU for 2D. That is what the rules state. Please let me know what materials are required in order to demonstrate these are 2 separate accounts and legitimate people. Here is a picture of Dejo and Mrs. Dejo: Here is a picture of Dejo's Daughter, October, sitting in the middle of the table with a blue bracelet. This was taken at our family dinner on the last night of the benchmarking party: Just tell us what we need to do, and we can clear up any misunderstanding. I can be reached at 440.499.4221 or matt at overclockers.com. We'll provide any proof or materials requested. Dejo is a good dude, and its a cool thing to spend time with a kid, so I just want to help straighten this out.

Voted no. There's always some level of uncertainty, but the current system is working well. If you look at enough scores, its not hard to tell what is reasonable and what is not. Confirming the motherboard info does little to ensure the scores are legit, but is a bit of extra work. Sounds like more worrying about cheating instead of worrying about our own benching. I vote for more focus on benchmarking and the love of the game, and less worrying about what other people are doing. The obvious cheaters and the questionable submissions will be scrutinized, and if some slip by then so be it. If you are working hard at your own benches, there aren't enough cheaters or invalid submissions to make a big impact on you. If you encounter something questionable, report it. Let the judges and mods worry about it. Otherwise, focus on your own benching and thats the key to success.

When submitting scores, its fairly easy to leave the score field blank on accident. Maybe I'm the only idiot around that made this mistake, but a lil javascript would keep people from hitting submit without filling out that field. Please delete this at your convenience: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/2099769_i.m.o.g._wprime_32m_phenom_ii_x4_965_be_0sec_0ms

Please delete. Sorry.

This was submitted by a moderator at Overclockers.com. He is a good person, and an honest overclocker. Please be more specific if there is a problem with the submission that needs corrected. However, it is not a "fake".

Has HWBot considered reporting statistics on the number of active members on a team? For example, on the following page it says OC Forums has 262 members who have contributed to the team total points: http://hwbot.org/community/team/oc_forums?tab=members However, that tends to lend the impression we are a huge team, when in fact we are a relatively small team with a long history. Every person currently active on a consistent basis knows the rest of the guys personally, and we consistently get a few members joining up every month to kick in a few points but not all of them stick around for the long haul. It'd be cool to see some insight into how many teammates our team has active in the past 30 or 60 days maybe, and compare that to other "big" teams.

Just a heads up in case it wasn't on your radar, but the custom flag for OC Forums is broken since the update also. Its trying to display the image from this url, but its no good: http://hwbot.org/signature.img?iid=253617&thumb=false Other custom flags like this one are working fine: http://hwbot.org/signature.img?iid=318544&thumb=false Is there anything we need to do, or do we just need to wait for you to finish fixing things up? No biggy either way, just a heads up in case you weren't aware.

Actually mutant, it doesn't work for sigs - while technically it would, many browsers don't operate well when there's a thread displaying many posts and each users sig is running the hwbot javascript. The browser gets laggy and runs like crap with that much javascript, we've seen it happen in posts on OCF when we were first testing the feature as R_B was developing it. But voidn is on the right track for something with a lighter footprint, we do something similar with folding stats: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6558662&postcount=6 If we were grabbing the XML and pumping the data into a DB table, it wouldn't be much of a leap to then implement this ourselves for benching stats: http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/?nav=IMAGES The largest problem with doing that is using PHP to generate the actual text/image - getting the layout right is similar to making a really complicated vbulletin sig, it takes a lot of trial and error to get right.

Very cool! I want to use it but I hadn't known it existed until now. I'll be stretching my development knowledge to actually figure out how to make use of it, but by the time I figure it out I should be ready to tackle rev2 when it drops. Thanks.

No need to do the mapping, we can give instructions for people to grab their userid from the storage path line here: http://hwbot.org/profile.images.do The way you suggested would "work", but people could use different backgrounds, fonts, and text layouts. With the folding stats example, the bbcode controls all formatting, and all the user has to do is insert their userid. It's very simple, just presents the stats, and impossible to mess up or tweak which means we don't have to police sigs. So right now with the way things are, I could make the following available - however anyone could choose to use different background and text font if they want (and whatever they chose would only look right on our forum, no where else). [attach]830[/attach] I think the easiest solution for me, given the special needs I'm looking for, would be to get a daily export of the team stats from hwbot and pump that into a sql db so that I can use the following PHP to create the images we want: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php You could do the same thing, but it would be a decent bit of work, and most people are happy with your image sigs already - I don't really think it makes sense for you to spend the time doing it. On the other hand, I can't do it unless I have the raw data available - I'd need daily exports something like what the F@H project offers. Then from that, I could hack something together to present the sig data we are looking for. Probably also doesn't make sense for you to export your raw data. :-/

I use chrome and sometimes I forget about stuff like that. Good point, I don't think that's the way to go. Essentially, my goal is to do the banner based sigs hwbot does but in a way that appears like text and fits with our site. It gives people the team stats they want to present, while not changing the rules for the site regarding image based sigs. EOC Folding stats is an example of sig stats we are implementing right now, and I think you could probably do something similar with hwbot. How hard would it be for you to do something like the following? With sig images like this, I can create custom bbcodes like this which blend in with our site very well. It doesn't have the rendering problems which the current javascript based API does. [ fstats]6238[/fstats ] = I could probably put something together myself with a bit of work, but I wouldn't know how I can use the hwbot data in a friendly way (scraping your pages and caching it on our site would be a no-no).

I wanted to let you guys know I like the direction you are moving in, the consideration that is apparent with how you've planned, and the way you are aiming to move forward. As for the feedback you receive, I support your confidence in doing what you believe is best for the community - regardless of who it pleases or who it upsets. At the end of the day, you are the people who have been running the most successful community based overclocking competition platform out there - you are the experts. Here are a few thoughts I had posted previously, regarding some of the community concerns with the issues you are aiming to address: I think its clear hwbot is making the right decisions for the right reasons, and as you move forward I think the outlined plan should be a big success - regardless of who is happy and who is upset. Overall, I think you are moving in a direction that is an improvement and overall the community will be positive about it. Thanks for the work you are doing on things!

Thanks Frederik, really coming along nicely. Can you make a sig tag available? OC Forums has a very strict sig policy, and image based sigs aren't permitted to maintain the readability of threads without flashy graphics between each post. I could change the rules, but I want to stick to our goals of maintaining readability and unobtrusive sigs (no images). Ideally, I'd like to make a custom BBcode tag available for our benching team, which will display similar information contained within the image based sigs, however it will use this text based API and display the information in 4-5 lines or less. This would be similar to the following tag, but it would display the member's rank, their team name and team's rank, and maybe 1 or 2 recent submissions all in 4-5 lines or less (the fewer the better). I would implement this via a custom BBcode which would be the only benching stats bbcode permitted in sigs: [ hwbot=massman]member[/hwbot]
