  1. used that BIOS first on my 5600x/impact combo.

    it "worked"?

    idk what issues you refer to but used it to install windows and ran some benchmarks etc.

    now back on 2402 so i can get higher than 1900fclk so can't say anything about longer term sorry.

     

    basically we are all beta testing this shit right now anyway.

    or as AMD likes to put it "hardware aging like fine wine"

     

     

    edit: 2402 has its own quirks though. often needs "retry boot" even on stock settings to turn on/restart.

    and while i was able to hit max 2100mhz, anything over 1900fclk seems hit and miss, mostly miss. despite being stable in benchmarks its not any faster (possibly slightly slower even) and otherwise randomly very unstable - random restarts, slowness, laggy kb/mouse inputs. annoying.

    probably a good reason its "locked out" for now..

  2. not helpful so much to the cooling enforcement challenge, but;

    more fixed clock challenges.

    almost all OCAU run rookie minded comps have had this in place, promotes a level playing field (or at the least appearance of one, to those new to the game.. they soon learn its not always so level lol), it heavily encourages system efficiency and memory tweaking. you will learn more from doing this and the skills you pick up can be applied throughout your benching career progression.

     

     

    i see the difficulty in some sort of better enforced cooling limits for comps where a clock speed limit is not possible or irrelevant though (like 3d? or comps which cover multiple chipset/CPU types/core counts etc).

     

    its almost in the too hard basket, theres ways around most methods suggested and definitely been ways around the ones being used on this site so far..

  3. blocked, seriously? a valid screen is also attached ffs, nothings missing there and its not like the score is out of the league for these clocks, or that its WR material or anything.

     

     

    edit:

    whatever, i'm about done with benching for the year already anyway :/

    BS like this hardly helps with the motivation to return though, but looking through the forums i'm not the only one unhappy with recent moderations. have fun with that.

  4. 3420B747 Costa Rica

    VID 1.039

     

    4.8ghz 2c2t spi 1m winXP (OS was setup for 1m, cbf changing maxmem) 1.35v / VCCIN 1.94

    5G impossibru ambient

     

    probably wont bother testing it with LN2 need a good ambient one of these really and already have one that does about the same/better, but with a stronger IMC

  5. yeah, such a frustrating platform..

    so i can appreciate how well you've done here.

     

    spent a few days with the CPU we eventually subbed with, and felt like we were getting nowhere :/

    you'd try something, it would seem to be working but yet 3 hours later you'd give up in frustration and go back to where you were earlier.

    repeat a dozen times and thats basically how our runs went lol

     

    whiskey helped on the second attempt, for sure

  6. well done -- to everyone, everywhere! what a tense final ~2hours!

    this was probably my favorite stage to watch. so far at least..

    such strong scores from the new guys, some scored hardware cups even!

     

    great idea having a stage catering just to them, it really brought everyone up to a new level here :D

    good luck to all in the last couple rounds

  7. yeah lol we have a few guys with these "legit" unrepeatable runs too

     

    since this one is still online, apparently thats OK?

    if so

    maybe it should be a battle of the bugs?

     

     

    edit: this was sarcasm, for those who take everything literally or those with english as second language/google translate :)

    i'll be serious for a moment and tell you what i told our boys on our home forum a short while back;

     

    a sub like that, you will likely be asked to reproduce it.

    or, a video with a run that scores similarly.

     

    everything can be "valid" but still be a bugged run.

     

    IMO,

    if you cant do the above, dont post it, simple as that.

  8. 1.6vcore for just 4.37ghz?

    you sure you didnt just forget to change vcore back from when you were running 4.8ghz? :D

     

     

    lol, well regardless i dont think you've fooled anyone,

    your subtimings would want to be damn well "Optimization" because the mem frequency is low and the primary timings are junk, typical single sided samsung i guess though.. which also not helping your case here.

     

    not to mention low uncore, HT enabled, no maxmem and probably not the best OS choice for 32m..

    nice try though

  9. lol fester that video was just wrong.

    its like 80s/90s soft drink marketing or something. but with a goddamn motherboard..

     

     

    anyway

    max is an extreme OCer about as much as Liya is a pro gamer

    http://youtu.be/6kj0X16Hv6A?list=PL3578BE23E0E1C5A2

    note total lack of WASD and just smashing keys like a spaz.

    dunno about "Ian the movie producer". he is wearing a beret.

     

     

    gotta admit, Max does have a hell of a voice on him.

    hes my new extreme OCing rookie hero

     

     

    edit: will add on a serious note that this is pretty dumb, trying to show off OCing with a paid actor, just comes off poorly for everyone involved.

    except for that voice...

  10. Hey, just double-checked and this competition is Z97 only.

     

    no worries. thanks for checking :)

    still, shame, hoped we'd all moved past the "Use X chipset mobo to win sameX chipset mobo" type rulesets.

     

    though there is also actual cash on offer, which is awesome.

     

    guess in hindsight i should have actually tried to win the z97soc-ln2 that OCAU is offering up :D

    or just not sold my other z97 so soon

     

    too cash strapped to hang onto too much "doubled up" gear atm sadly
