A couple more little matters.
1)Descriptions on each stage needs editing.
In some say 3DMark 2001 and in others say 3DMark 2003
... and there is no Stage 4 for PCMark 04 , it's stage 3.
And a crucial matter cause i dont like "playing" with words.
Make crystal clear , that it's 478 cpu on 478 boards.
I dont like to play the adapters game.

The R3 marking is nice hidden also.
I wouldnt had an argue about the wallpaper as long as everyone could leave clear and visible the screen area with the marking.
It can be done.

... buy your chips per kilo, like I do ...
That's a good tactic
I would have followed your method (if i had it as an option in my local market).
Can you send me a couple of kilo's (fx55 and fx57) ?
-
Please dont forget , to change the wallpaper.
Those R1 and R2 markings were not followed as a rule in the earlier round.
I believe we need some actual more obvious change for the wallpaper.
Let's eliminate every chance of someone benching earlier than others.

Oh and can someone please tell me if there is any trick to fix the coldbug on 939 CPUs ...
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.

I noticed too there was a strange clock on the general page, like 12 hours more left compared to the counters on the stages.
Basically it seems we had half a day extra, but not sure if just for this stage.
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

What's model cpu cooling use?Looks like a Zalman cnps7000c
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

Didn't realise such high bin DDR2 was sold. Highest I've seen is 1200.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)

ok guys I know I am way late into the game and reviving a very old thread. I am looking for a very good chip 4960x or 4930k (4960x preferred due to more cache) and im not sure where to start. I have seen Dumo's post doesnt look like his batch is included on page 1 so I thought i'd ask around..
anyone interested in upgrading their system and want to rid of their 4960x or 4930k i'd be very interested in buying off from them. gotta of course be a great quality chip, high ghz and low voltage..
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.

I've been experimenting....
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.

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

ar we alowed to run older 3dmark versions?
From what i know , things are clear about the rules
HWBOT 3DMark Ice Storm Benchmark Validation Regulations
All versions except v1.0.0 -
There seems to be some problem with nvidia 7 series cards (havent tested any other series) that they always award 14726 points in OpenCL. All submitet results so far got that score and Ive recived it with both a 7900gtx and a 7200gt
Dont loose your time testing.
No Cuda support , no open cl.
Period
We needed nvidia 8 series and up , for this.

I cannot even see the r2 at full scale without maginfying glass, so I don´t care^^I didn't even know it was there. lol
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 ?
-
S939 Opterons allowed? Seems like we already have some entries with those. (I hope you say yes, if so please add a line about it to the limitations)
Yes
We had agreed on this , in the preparation thread
-
You have a point. I wanted to say, that it's better chance to find good set when binning 2000+ RAM than 1600. In case, when you can buy them all below 50 euro in my opinion it's pointless to buy 1600, when you may have something much better in almost the same price.
Yes , i agree.

Hah ... and i thought i had the worst cpu ever , with a CB at 0C
