790 boards
in Sold
I do have a GA-MA770-S3P that I was keeping for running Thubans with DDR2 (since the DFI FXB boards are a bust with hex cores) but if you really want it I'd sell it to you.

any interest in DDR3 boards? Like the GA-790XTA-UD4

the Prepopulate option usually does not work for competition entires.
-
As it stands now with the scores entered after November 2nd removed yet the competition ranking shows as if the scores are still in the comp even though they are not seen in the individual stages. Please resolve.

Is for stage 6 the W-3175X allowed?
Is that a new AMD CPU?

Are you sure? Skylake, Kaby Lake and presumably Coffelake refresh are all "Allowed" although the OS Benchmark table is ambiguous as there is crossover between "Desktops and laptops with bus tuning capabilities" and "Skylake Kaby Lake".
Also, the lInk if required doesn't have to be VALID for general rankings, just validated at 3DMark.com however competitions often call for a VALID link.

@Leeghoofd for the CPU clock limited Sky Diver stage are you going to stipulate that HWiNFO is used to monitor the clocks during the benchmark run? As of now there is no mention of monitoring clocks.

@1BadMoJoe did you not read the reply from the creator of BenchMate in the very next post you quoted?
BenchMate can be found at https://benchmate.org/

nah, cups and medals

Other because you forgot the "for the cups and medals" option

Got an AMD/ATi graphics card? I've found the best way to get OpenCL for CPU working is installing the Radeon Drivers prior to 18.8.1 (I think) Lately I've been using 18.5.1. Otherwise you can try your luck with the various OpenCL SDK packages that can be found on the net. Check out the GPUPI page on Overclockers.at. Alternatively you can try Intels OpenCL package. Links at the page mentioned.

"Is overclocking DEAD or dying?" = Yes it is dying. Slowly but steady every year ... since the Sandybridge era.
Overclocking was and still is , about gaining a good percentage of performance , for free.
Overclocking great eras were , when it was easy for the masses (mainly for the gamers) and when the hardware from INTEL & AMD was " power unleashed"
Wanna go back in time and have some examples ?
The user gets a Celeron 300A to 450 and matches the performance of the top of the line P-II
The user gets a P-III Coppermine 600E to 800 or 700E to 933 (Top was a P3 1000)
The user gets a Thunderbird 700 to 1000
The user gets a Tualatin 1.0A to 1.33
The user gets a Tbred-B 1700+ to 3200+
The user gets a P4 1.6A to 3.2
The user gets an A64 bus speed from 200 to 250
The user gets a Core Duo from 266fsb to 333fsb
The user gets a Core 2 Duo from 333fsb to 400+fsb
The user gets a Nehalem from 133bclk to 200bclk
*Same applies to VGA's too
...
All the above numbers were easy to achieve (no extreme numbers) and required zero portions of magic ... just a slice of knowledge , some volts and a good air-cooling
FREE performance !!!
What the heck ... we were overclocking Sound Blasters by changing the crystal , back then
...
What happened next ?
Locked cpu's (Intel mainly) and a few overclocking models to play with ... but PAY for it (where is the free performance?) oeo ?
...
What do we have today ?
Hardware already binned from the factory and retailed at almost 90% of its speed
Board makers giving you ready profiles to get that extra 5 to 10% with an AIO
... and GAME OVER for the masses.
Today's performance gain from O/C is minimal and the regular user can have it with the push of a button ... so why bother ?
Of cource there will always be minorities ... So will be the overclocking community.
That is my personal opinion and the general idea about Overclocking today.
Yep, Intel started nailing the coffin of overclocking with the invention of the pay to play K sku CPUs

VID is what the CPU asks for vCore will be what the board is supplying.
You can always drop the CPU-NB volts and see when it stops posting. CPU-NB multiplier is whole numbers so to get in between you'll need to give the Bus Speed more MHz.
Edit: you can run Cinebench with relatime priority and it sometimes results in beter scores.
Also note you need to be on Windows 10 unless you're using BenchMate
-
Meh if they ditch 3 and 4 then oh well. 5 should be cut pronto though.
-
Well, I'd hope so otherwise what would be the point of competitive overclocking? Give it 1.35v and see.
-
yeah ditch the Geekbenches. At least Geekbench 5.
-
You might want to re-acquaint yourself with the rules especially for Cinebench. (Hint: show the full rendered image and a full uncropped desktop including the clock)
-
My daily is running 1.35v for the CPU-NB VID at 2733MHz. CPU is at 20.5 x 228 for 4668MHz. I didn't have a CB 2003 score so I chucked one up just now at full bloat with stuff runnng in the background. Nothing to write home about: 4265317_cbjaust_cinebench___2003_fx_8350_2547_points/
-
You might get some benefit with more CPU-NB, 2500MHz is probably doable.
-
is there any commonality with KT266 and KT400? I have a KT266 PCR file but I'm sure you'd have it too.
-
Memory can have a lot to do with stability. My cooling was just a Thermalright TRUE Black with one or maybe two fans push-pull. Is the FX-8300 Bulldozer? If so it will not clock quite as well as Vishera.
No probs, ask away.
Edit: nevermind, FX-8300 is Vishera

The other scores you see with higher numbers are the other versions of cinebench - R15 and R20 and the older one Cinebench 2003 but all those versions give the score in "cb" not "pts". Hwbot is only concerned with the CPU score from Cinebench. The OpenGL scores are a GPU test.
Vishera was fine. My daily is an FX-8350 still.
