TASOS

Sorry , but You are turning ordinary people away , from this sport. (I still call it a hobby). My opinion is to find a solution , that the team rankings are less affected , by these kind of submissions. Elite users have their own league ... and it was made that way , for a reason.

Yes , that's it. And i have no problem with that. Glad to see them compete with each other , in their own league. But , when they belong to a team. Why does , that special hardware , have to alter the Team rankings and league ? through the global team power points and global team hardware points ?

Still here ...

I'm talking to all of YOU out there. The privileged site owner , the reviewer , the lucky lab tester , the manufacturer employee , the heavily sponsored. All you , that are happy to get once,twice,ten,twenty times a year ... every year , your brand new shinny (just released hardware) , that demolishes competition. Do you understand , that benching special hardware , inside a manufacturer's lab , under ideal conditions , is not fair to everybody ? Do you acknowledge , what an advantage there is , to submit results with a just (paper launched) high-end product and gain points for that ? Do you understand , that besides your rankings as individuals , you are heavily altering the Glogal Team Power Points ... and hardware also ? You know you can disable points for your submissions. Dont you ? I dont even bother to open a discussion about wether that specific hardware is considered RETAIL or not. Does your team , deserve those points , just because you had the opportunity to bench that special hardware ? Dont get me wrong , here. I'm not talking about , the place you take at the board. You may well deserve that 1st , 2nd ... whatever place. No problem with that. The main issue here is , about Team Rankings. Come on now. There has to be a solution. Massman ??? Those 20-30 "special users" can have a league of their own. I thought they had (to be honest) Why do they have to mess with us ? Us , regular everyday people , trying to enjoy our hobby ? Looking forward for some answers. Ethics and honesty , people.

Forum related. Too much lag (sometimes) during this week. And many database errors , randomly. What is going on ?

Catzilla and sky diver videos are set as private ?

Nice piece of hardware , you have there. !!!

First of all. Happy Birthday !!! Now. I must admit that i know a few things about old cpu's I was one of the first persons that wrote on the internet about Intel cpu markings back in 2001 ... (it was 2002 on English speaking forums , such as overclockers.com) A good old friend from the glorious Leixlip factory was the insider for me back then. Nevermind. I dont want to continue ongoing this thread , although i disagree with you in a couple of points. Perhaps , in an other place and time , just for your personal interest only. This was a memorial challenge for a person that loved hardware in general and i am glad i participated. Congrats to all participants !!!

... P.S. Check out the other section (thread).

Nick I asked you about your chipset revision (not the board) cpuz =>mainboard tab Early stepping of the chipset where identified as revision 12 and where not so good as later stepping revision 13

Looks like a very tough case for a moderator. With no markings on the heat spreader you are left alone with software detection only. And can anybody ever be sure , about when this ES cpu was produced ? Because we are not talking about a release date here. If we had the production code printed on the heat spreader , that would have been enough (as i see it). What does cpuz version 1.21 show ? Can you match the readings , of what has been verified as a P4 800 ? Cause there's a difference in cpuid (family). P4 ES Mr paco ES There is also a big difference is fabrication P4 800 ES => Heat spreader on top left corner Mr Paco ES = Almost centered heat spreader

Probably ? (i dont really know) Cause the result moderators didnt have enough data about that cpu. You could have helped them a bit , by providing an actual photo of that cpu ... and also a screenshot from an older cpuz version , that recognised the cpu. That's my thoughts.

cpuz =>mainboard tab Is your chipset a rev. 13 ? You need to stabilize your system and experiment with the voltages. For constant 21X that's all it needs Intel SpeedStep = Disabled Turbo Mode Function = Enabled CxE Function = Disabled What's the rest of your settings ? EVGA VDroop Control = Without VDroop ? QPI Frequency Selection = 4.800 GT/s ? CPU Uncore Frequency = ? Voltages ? Vtt ? Pll ? Qpi ?

No my friend. I live on a mountain near a river , and the water takes down the valey aaaalll the sand. [/joking mode off] Now This 1.5 D0 is a :nana: ... and i'm trying to clock it , with a board that has absolutely NO settings in bios. I wish i had an Abit.

I mean , you cant communicate. There is no alternative , besides the wall post. There is no other option , such as e-mail.

Some of my friends (here in my drawer) dont even support SSE So , lets have an extra stage ... MMX smackdown :battle: Now Let's just start whatever stage you like. I'm all in , with whatever hardware i currently own. I already started refurbishing my motherboards. Too many leaking capacitors Let the fun begin !!!

Well i did , what i was able to do. Contacting any member (except leaving a message on their wall) is a no go.

The Bao family strikes again http://hwbot.org/submission/2753955 http://hwbot.org/submission/2757311 Perhaps , somebody speaking their native language , could explain them the situation ?

Sorry , but the author of this competition , had written otherwise ...

Nope As i see it. You must switch the 1st and 3rd place (same cpu's) but ... skydec is 1st , cause of faster time. havli is 3rd. My result is (9h 5min 59sec 816ms) , NOT 11h

Team captains can help the moderators , in this kind of situation , where a simple edit can fix the problem. That's what i did (but i only had one result to fix).

I'm with you all !!! :celebration:

My result is not ranked.

Sorry chief But the ranking at stage-1 , is still wrong. You left-out some scores from socket 423 , including the fastest time at the moment. http://hwbot.org/submission/2749028_havli_gpupi_for_cpu___1b_pentium_4_1.5ghz_willamette_s423_13h_20min_58sec_176ms/ http://hwbot.org/submission/2749253_mr.paco_gpupi_for_cpu___1b_pentium_4_1.5ghz_willamette_s423_9h_38min_40sec_284ms/ http://hwbot.org/submission/2749386_tasos_gpupi_for_cpu___1b_pentium_4_1.6ghz_willamette_s423_9h_5min_59sec_816ms/
