I just wrote my latest idea to the crew section. We will see, if there is any chance to see it alive some day. We need to modify it a lot at least.
There might be technical and economical issues on this.
-
I quote myself from the thread I made in to crew section year a go. This is from July 2009.
Hi crew!I want to show you my idea about new Oc league. It would be called No limits OC league or something like that.
Time is flying and situations are changing. I think we are getting to the point where ES CPU's must be removed from normal OC league and make the game more fair that way.
If user want to submit ES scores, they should be in NO Limits OC race, where all possible scores and all possible hardware would be visible, but not with any points. That way people dont have to get upset by other peoples scores, cause it is not the "race" like it is now and no one is loosing anything. It would be more like WR page, but with a lot more scores in it.
Which scores should go in to that category?
-All ES cpu scores.
-scores which have been done with unreleased hardware or some modified hardware, which can not be used publicly. (Like current 3Dmark Vantage WR in FM orb)
-etc.?
I would personally prefer this new league. I would go there immediately, bench like before and no one is pissed anymore. I could use my hardware like so far, but without bad air around them.
Easy solution, but is it easy with coding? That is the different story.
I have talked about this category with many top overclockers from all around the world and we have the green light from all of them. No one have said no so far.
What do you guys think?
Of course this idea have evolved already and we have some better ideas about the points and name etc. Hopefully this will show you guys that we have though these issues long time before these current threads here.

No worries! I can handle criticism well.
But you could write your thoughts and so could everyone else. If we have more opinions, it is more easy to evaluate things.

Everything started to really go wrong with Clarkdale ES just being retarded vs. retail.
You are talking only few months back in time..
This evolution have been going on few years now. Slowly in to this direction we are heading now.
I feel sorry about most of the stuff which is happening lately. Year 2009 was full of S**t and this will be worse.
-
I think we all can ask, when did everything go wrong?

Hiwa follows the hwbot rule for sure. 3D can share cpu, but VGA card.
He bought some cards here and "someone" helps him mod everything he wants. I know you hipro know who is someone. He is at gskill booth.

Well..possible hardware sharing and ES vs. Retail discussion are two different topics.
No need to be mad. They do what they think is best for them.
-
There is nothing I can do about it. Life is not fair like I said earlier
-
I tried with humour, but it did not work.
OK. How much money is involved in extreme overclocking? How well do you get paid by submitting WR to HWbot or any forums?
I would understand these emotions, if there would be a lot of money involved. Then it would be normal.
I don't understand why these hardware things have to be so serious to so many people. It is overclocking, nothing else.
If you have strong emotions and feel really unfair, take a deep breath and think again. No ones life will not be ruined if Hicookies chip can reach 7GHz. We should be happy when hardware is pushed to it's limits, but no.
Let's all cry together and sing some beatles...
"Yesterday, All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday....
Take it easy and peace for all!

Damn, I tried to have date with Miss Finland, but she decided to go with NHL hockey player who earns few millions in a year by playing with black rubber thing. Damn..life is so unfair

Hi all!
I picked up 20 liters of LN2 last friday. Then modified the card and did some runs tonight.
This setup ate the LN2 in 1,5h so I couldn't push it too hard
Well here is the setup:
ASUS GTX 480
ASUS Rampage III Extreme
Kingston HyperX 2133 CL8
Antec 1200W
Win 7 64-bit
Nvidia 257 beta drivers :shocked:
Vantage:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=2226859
I was almost finishing GT1 in Vantage at 1300/2600/1200MHz, but it crashed and did not get the end frames. Performance scaling is huge, so 35K is easy, if I can rerun at same clocks.
This is looking good for some more A0 madness

Xpower > R3E.
The R3E was bugging at -90°C, whereas the Xpower went to -145°C load (which is like Classified apparently). Together with the lower temps, the chip was also producing higher MHz on the CPU and thus higher scores.
That is simply because you got pre production (not retail) sample which have different chill controller. That is the cause of those weird temp issues.
Last weekend we did some runs with no cold bug ES and no cold bug retail
My retail was able to handle -160C too.So, those judgements are solely based on your personal experience and I think it should be mentioned. Now it looks like it is a common trend to have worse scores with R3E
I think R3E is very hard board to beat in any aspect. That is my opinion and thats all

Thanks Guys!
Here is the full quality picture:

Thanks a lot guys! ASUS is giving great support for overclockers.
I got the Xpander board as well, so I can start to prepare homeruns.
4-way SLI is very powerful indeed, but GTX 480 is pain in the a**

Hi all!
ASUS Nordic or to be more exact, Kinc invited me and elmor to bench in their office. Idea of the benching weekend was to get used to GTX 480.
We got 8 cards and first they were V modded and then tested separately on LN2.
One of the mods were not correct and we lost a lot of valuable time and resources. In the end we did not get any high scores or the scores we wanted and estimated.
Typical conversation was like this: "It should work, just trust me" and you can imagine where that took us :rofl:
But in general, weekend was perfect and we got huge amount of very important experience and information, so this swedish duo can produce some nice scores in the near future.
I have to say few words to GTX 480 - I hate you and I love you at the same time :shrug:
Thanks ASUS and Marcus for the weekend. Hopefully we will do this again soon :up:
Setup:
ASUS Rampage III Extreme
ASUS ROG 4-way SLI extension board
ASUS GTX 480 x 8
Silverstone + OCZ PSU's
Corsair GTX 2 memory
SF3D OC Inflection point LN2 cooling
Win 7 64-bit
Here is some random 2D scores we did between 3D tests:
Superpi 1M @ 6682MHz:
Superpi 32M 6515MHz with medium efficiency:
Pifast (WR) @ 6668MHz:
Quite good, if you ask me
Quick 3DM05:
Vantage with single GTX 480
Vantage with 4- way SLI:
We did not get more scores after that
because all possible problems appeared like PSU failures etc. We used retail 980X with one memory stick and there was no cold bug. Even there was more than enough bad luck, first score is ok :up:
Pictures frome weekend:
That's all!
New 4-way SLI scores will come soon from the dynamic duo :up:
-
That is a nice CPU there! Good to see AMD getting better on air as well.
-
Nice review! Good to see these small enthusiast boards too. This could go to my HTPC, if I could get one from Finland.
Thanks for posting!
-
Thanks Isaie!
-
All PM's will be answered guys. I try to answe as soon as possible to all questions. Thanks!
-
Nice that someone do these review test with decent CPU speed. It is so stupid to see tests done at some low level basic CPU's.
Nice work Tudor!

Hi all!
After months of testing and fine tuning, my baby is ready to go out.
She is easy to handle, she can take huge loads and she will be cheap to take :rofl:
Here are some sample Core i7 980X scores and that is beta 2 in there.
Here are some sample AMD Phenom II X6 scores:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=251049
Specs:
Weight - 2.1kg
Height - 135mm
Diameter - 78mm
Here are the pictures of it:
These are made in Poland by Ryba and his friend. Reason for using Poland as a product place is very simple. Everything costs at least 3x less in there. Costs of this type of product in Finland would be ridiculous. Now I can produce these with a lot more lower costs :up:
Quality is very good, thanks for that Marcin!
That's all!
Interested? Contact the producer: ryba [at] purepc.pl

Yes. Nvidia + XP will give best CPU score in 3DM06. It should be ok in my tests.
I got around 13.5K score with ATI + Win7 @ 6300MHz.
Should HWBot be divided into a two class structure?

There is no point in cooling categories or giving points based on cooling methods.
What difference does it make, which cooling have been used during some benchmark. Like in Finland we have -30C° on winter and +30C on summer. If you bench in a shed, how do you compare those aircooled results. In watercooling category I could use my chiller, which can do all temperatures between +30C° to -35C°
But if I have got these ideas somehow wrong, tell me what was the real deal. I might have missed some posts in a hurry.
