TASOS

The trick to improve CB , they already told you here. Now , the real thing to ask these guys here , is to tell you some exact FPO/BATCH , that fly in cold.

In total , it was an interesting round Cinebench was a bit brutal , especially for the single-core cpu's But it was do able. Ice Storm , was something new (for the hardware used) and i would dare to say , that it was the most interesting stage (for me). Almost every aspect of tuning , was giving it a tad more in final score. RealBench on the other hand , almost killed all the fun of this round. It was tooo lengthy for the capabilities of the hardware. It was not easy to overcome the disappointment of the last minute failed bench session. The non-saving score was also a big minus. ... and its final score , was not the result of hardware tuning. It's software tweaking (the most) ... and i hate these kind of benchmarks. // I may have complaints about this weird competition ending time ... but all in all it was fun. I didnt have the clocks to compete in higher level. and i dont take risks (anymore) with sub-zero cooling , on old hardware , cause it's not easily replacable nowadays. At least , i think i got the highest GT2 score of all , to remember. Especially for my clocks and cooling. ... and i found , that i have a small X2 that can do 312 1/1 on mem (air-cooled). Congrats to all !!! There were some very good scores on top places !!! See you next round.

Thanks for the confirmation. At least i know i'm not crazy ... seeing things on my own. What more can i say ?

Just wanted to ask here ... Did this stage ended for all at the same time ??? For me it ended early in the morning at 2 o'clock But i see that other were submitting just a couple of hours ago ... Was there an extension ??? I would have finished my Realbench

It's a Zalman CNPS7700-CU It's much bigger than the 7000 series. Zalman CNPS7700: The New Giant of Coolers ... and it'a a pain in the @$$ , if you are using the orange mem slot's and wanna swap ram modules

Well they existed , but nothing special. Team 1300 @6-6-6-18 2T @2.45 volt and the Corsair were 1250 @5-5-5-18 2t @2.40 volt Sorry for the thread hijacking

What am i doing wrong here ? or is it a database problem ? My result doesnt show up in the competition rankings and in hardware rankings it shows as a 2X cpu. I submitted twice TASOS`s Cinebench - R11.5 score: 0.82 points with a Opteron 154 (San Diego, s939) TASOS`s Cinebench - R11.5 score: 0.82 points with a Opteron 154 (San Diego, s939)

I believe that one of the strongest fpo/batch , was the 3325A911. At least for the 4930K. I have very good air-cooled and watercooled results with this. and if i recall , der8auer had very good results also.

WoW !!!

I've done some work too Scotty. Tell me your opinion about asking the participants , to show the whole (and more maximized ... and not screenshot cut) window of the log output , as a beggining. Any other thoughts are welcome. ./ Rule reminder

I see miracles happening in some RealBench Multithreading scores. I hope this miracles are legit.

"Houston , we have a setup down" DFI NF4 SLI + Opteron 180 I've "lost" my current setup , during Realbench. I've left it run the bench , cause it takes some time ... and after an hour , when i got back to check , i found it on a black screen with blinking cursor. Shut down and new power up. System keeps restarting all over again and again. Clear cmos didnt help , neither one mem module only did. I have a bad feeling that it needs more than basic troubleshooting.

12AX7 tends to be a RealBench expert. It's better not to tell you his secret , cause he has to "kill" you afterwards

Thanks It looks nice , nothing spectacular though. It's an old one , i had in a box ... and never really tested till now.

From what i know , things are clear about the rules HWBOT 3DMark Ice Storm Benchmark Validation Regulations

Dont loose your time testing. No Cuda support , no open cl. Period We needed nvidia 8 series and up , for this.

I guessed , that many people didn't know either. That's why i made this post. Round 1 , wallpaper had a small R1 at the top left corner. Now the R2 , is still at the left side , down lower. Anyway I would something like a hwbot staff formal statement about this wallpaper issue , just in case someone reports a result , for not using the official wallpaper for the exact round. Someone could assume , that there are other members already benching later round stages and show them on-time. Because if the "R" marking doesnt count , i can start benching for whatever round and stage i wont , whenever i like. Then i can crop the screenshot , or even change the system date , to match the stage date. Am i wrong ? ./

We have to make clear now , that we are at the beggining of this round , about the wallpaper beeing used. Should we have drama in case the little R2 logo (at the left side) doesnt show on the validation screenshot ??? Except one or two , most of the results till now , have this problem. How will the moderators handle this ?

Yes We had agreed on this , in the preparation thread http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=160802

Yes , i agree. (especially with G.skill)

Sorry but , NOT true. You never really know , where you could find good PSC. In the past , i had 1600 sticks that did waaayyy better than 2000 and 2133. You never know until you test them.

I thought You got the modded one from the sales in here ? But it's not

Who ever wants (voluntarely) can post a photo , of the card he used. A backside with the stickers and a front side with the mem chips , would be nice. Whoever wants.

I would have expected some very clear pictures of all those Quadro's ... in this round-1. I've only seen a few of them , showing the sticker with model and s/n.

ok Very simply put. The VW Golf diesel , was just an example (and nothing more). An example of someone not knowing the truth , so no one could blame him , (for not knowing) the exact ammount of emissions. ./ Now in this specific case. ultraex2005 is an old member ... a very lowal , honest and trustworthy member of the Greek oc community. He is very disappointed with this forum post. He could probably make a mistake , in a submission , but never on purpose. When you ... among hundreds of other false detected results (in Android hwbot prime) choose his submission , to make it forum public , claiming that he did this , to get 20GP ... then , that's called targeting. and it's a kind of punishment. Except if , i am wrong. And you open such threads for every result that you are moderating. or it could have been a wrong expression by your side , and it was not your intention to insult him , when talking about points. P.S. We are. Working along side with hwbot to make it better. Dont have a doubt about that.
