Reminder, just over 8 hours to go until event start. Get those crunching rigs lit off and join us for some fun. You'll probably win something too.

Well we have had some last minute prizes to add from EVGA, and thus we needed to do a last minute rules tweak, and I think everyone will be happy about that. We have lowered the requirement to just 10 Work Units completed over the 4 day contest for the first round of random prize draws. If we have leftover prizes, we will do a second round of random prize draws, and requirement for that round will be 20 work units.

Starts in 3 days. Get your rigs ready and don't forget to register.

Your CPU-Z shows 2250 MHz.

:)

If anyone here wants to take a break from benching for a few days and repurpose that hardware for some volunteer scientific research, come crunch with us. So far we have 13 sponsored prizes from Corsair, Cooler Master, and be quiet. Top 3 winners get first pick of prizes, and the rest are random draw for anyone that completes 20 work units over the four days (fairly easy).

You can push them a bit further than that :D

You're right! I'll flag this one for removal. I was new to benchmate and y-cruncher and really didn't know what I was doing as far as submission.

Nice work! I know you guys were getting worried about running out of He.

Thank you sir!

I was running some 3DMarks and accidently submitted Night Raid for Port Royal. I edited and changed the score to 0 in the meantime because it was trying to give me 1st place gold cup I did not deserve but someone needs to delete the score because it's still giving me points. Thanks bunches https://hwbot.org/submission/5137565_

Not too shabby :)

Amazing. I invite you to join our team.

lol you dick! -damric :P

lol I was wondering why the site said down. Can't wait to see the new updated site.

I got a message yesterday that one of my scores was invalid (before I even knew about benchmate). So I redid the bench, scored even higher of course, and got to see the latest version of the benchmate software. It's looking good. That is all.

I don't know what's going on with this. I'm trying to submit my Cinebench results from this morning and keep getting the error with benchmate submissions. I did also get this error yesterday, but I figured out that I had to shrink my 4K screenshots. For the life of me I don't understand why we can't crop them anymore if you are going to keep the file size limit to that of something decades ago. I assume the benchmate is taking 4K screenies and it's erroring out. Do I need to drop my monitor resolution when benching now? I didn't ever have to do that before.

Do you need to actually own VR equipment or can I just run the benchmark software like a normal 3D benchmark? Just want to know so I don't purchase the software since I don't own any of the 3d headsets or anything. There are not enough 3D benchmarks allowed on Windows 10.

Nevermind. Change my vote from 10 minutes to a single pass through. No time for that.

My Tridents don't really go much higher, even with loosened timings. I guess I could try other RAM.

Next question: What happens when you put a KL in a Z170 or a SL in a Z270 and attempt non-K OC? Anyone tested?

What about these new ASRock Z270 boards with Hyper BCLK?

That would be fantastic if they do.
