Yeah, sorry - my mistake. It seems all CGN based IGP indeed run GPUPI just fine.

I'm not sure... but is it even possible to run GPUPI on IGP? As far as I know, none of them support FP64, which GPUPI requires.

And if you don't then you will do the same? No, this is nonsense. The thing is - you are stuck in PC world like 10 years ago and refuse to adapt. And everyone who has a different opinion on this is a lesser being for you... I don't like that attitude, most people don't. Just be cool and stop bunnying around because you don't like stuff newer than 10 years and consider it non-skill. I don't like a lot of stuff either... but do you (or anyone) see me spamming BS, complaining or calling other people n00bs just because they enjoy competitions containing stuff like highly binned 6950X CPUs and zombie modded Titan GPUs? Not at all. I respect what other people enjoy and so should you. Overclocking is so complex that noone can know everything to the smallest details. I'm sure most of todays best ranked overclockers are not very familiar with OC'ing things like Slot A Athlon... still I'm not calling them as "know nothing". See the point?

I don't know - noone was able to beat that score for 3 years now. And with all due respect - you have no 32M submissions on socket 7. Mastering this platform is not so easy, so I don't think you can. For me 32M @ socket 7 is much more interesting than anything s370. Just a different personal preference, just as LGA 771 vs "the true old school stuff". Btw - all 3 your s7 1M WR (wow, that much... ) are in category that has 0, 1 and 3 competititors respectively. Not so much of a challenge really.

Yes, after so many competitions covering this HW in past few years... it is boring for me and possibly others as well. I don't own any s370 WRs - it is quite simple actually. I have no decent s370 modded board nor 200+ MHz capable SDRAM and after all no above-average PIII. Also I'm using only air/water cooling (and TEC in very few subs)... which is simply not good enough for WR on most CPUs after socket 7. Btw - stuff I know nothing about? That is a bold statement. Maybe you could try something other than pouring LN2 on PIII... like beating this for example havli`s SuperPi - 32M score: 5h 18min 11sec 842ms with a Pentium MMX 166Mhz Is it old school enough?

Overclocking s370/462/478 all the time gets boring eventually.... so this is a nice change.

DDR3 DIMM... wasn't it introduced like 2007? Sure old enough. Btw - I almost consider retro my 5 year old SB-E. Oh and Quadro - nVidia Quadro SDR - Hardware museum 1999 indeed

I don't see a problem here. LGA 771 CPUs are cheap, easy to get (unlike dual socket 7 ) and in 2016/17 really can be considered old school. Btw - one of very few opportunities to use "server HW" in oc-esports competitions.

Hi, could you please add: Quadro DDR And perhaps rename the existing Quadro Nvidia Quadro @ HWBOT to something like "Quadro SDR" Thx.

Yes, much faster

:D Yeah, Realbench is gone (didn't notice that)... that surely explains some gold missing. Not all of it though, well I guess it is time to get some new cups on different HW. @mr\.paco huh, that is a lot. So 100 cups is no big deal after all

Tried that, no change.

I've noticed yesterday... now I have 532 gold cups but it was 632 a week ago (actually achievements counter still says that). I know rankings change all the time... so few cups here and there is no big deal. But 100 gold cups seems to be too much to just disappear. What could be the cause?

Well, I understand that... although funny thing is "Server HW" is forbidden in general to keep things affordable despite many Xeons hold no performance advantage over regular i7 and in fact are significantly cheaper. Like E5-1650 being exactly the same as i7 3930k, only having different writing on the IHS. Also for example old Maxwell Titan X is not allowed while more expensive and faster GTX 1080 is ok.

I assume Xeon E5-1650 is considered server HW?

btw - this is 1080p run, not 4k

Thank you for the tips. According to several guides, there is working Z170 AHCI driver - so this should be good enough, no need for additional SATA controller. Probably I'll try my luck and go for Z170 Extreme4... Coz I don't feel like spending that much money for essentially cut-down boards (mATX, only 2 DDR4 slots), sure packed with overkill VRM and LN2 features, but these are of no use for me.

Hi, I'm considering to get a Skylake for playing around and also some nice legacy 3DMark action... it seems s1151 is the last platform capable of running XP, so there is no point in further waiting. I did some research regarding XP and Z170 but I'm still not exactly sure what is needed. First let's list some features I'd like to have: 1. locked CPU OC (must have) 2. win XP working for 3D benchmarks while running overclocked locked Skylake. (must have) 3. SLI 8+8 (would be nice) 4. support for future Kaby Lake unlock i5/7 (would be nice) 5. be able to upgrade/downgrade bios in some relatively painless way when switching Kaby/Skylake Probably all Asus Maximus VIII should work (they have XP-compatible bios available) and most likely ASRock Z170 OCF / MOCF. The catch is all of these boards are a bit too much expensive for my taste and also overkill for air/water cooling. On the other hand Z170 Extreme4 or Asus Z170-A are much more affordable and should be well suited for my needs from HW point of view. The only question is - will XP run on either of them? As far as I know, XP needs SATA AHCI driver (should be no problem for any board) and ASMedia USB 3.x controller onboard, for which XP drivers do exist. Otherwise it would be impossible to connect anything different than USB mouse or keyboard. Asus Z170-A even has one classic PCI slot, so should be possible to put in some old USB 2.0 card, LAN... So is there something special in Asus ROG boards bios that makes them "XP compatible" or simply any board (like Z170-A or extreme4) will run it?

SC3 Legacy - Stage 2 (3DM03) The rules states Socket 775, DDR2 and P4 65nm, 90nm, 130nm, 180nm. It seems almost everyone is using Pentium D, which is based on Netburst and everything.... but in fact is not a "Pentium 4" by name. I assume it is ok to use PD here?

That's hardly a reason to remove points... Use different cooling then, air or water works 24/7

Meh, socket 370 is just... slow My Xeon X5450 is ready Now it is time to look for decent P45 board as my modded GA-P35-DS3 isn't very well suited for quads OC.

Looks interesting. Round 1 is the hardest for me... as I don't have a single pci-e quadro

I don't think this is going to work... Let's say there are 15 GPU generations, so in order to bench them all you must own 15+ CPUs and similar amount of boards? That is even less affordable than single 6700k. Also running C2D @ LN2 might be more expensive than for example 6600k @ air, while being slower.

Thank you, it is working now.

I was trying to get my first score... but it wasn't as easy as I thought. All I get is this error message after pressing the submit button. Other HWBOT-integrated benchmarks works fine on this PC, so internet connection is not the issue.
