Genius

Did you buy it just to delete that deburner account?

Thats because the extreme guys read the forums.

I tried both, neither worked.

Fuck that right off. If new shit cant be hacked to run on XP it'll be the last hardware I ever bench.

Whatever Mr Scott wants, I want that. Hes much more articulate than I am.

Lets do this.

No more leagues? Stop talking dirty. I'm fine with a vote.

Thank you for your service.

WOAH WOAHHHH

Gonna set my mind to healing my stupid hip. I'm heading to Taiwan at Easter, keep your prayers up that the mainlanders are still banned from entry so I can enjoy tourist spots without buses. Computex not looking likely.

LEAGUE CHANGES ok good. now it cant be missed.

Albrecht's long term goal fully exposed. I'm not saying Hwbot I'm saying Albrecht.

mah man

Can do.

why the benchmate love?

What about. if we. DIDNT use benchmate.

5770/8800gt/5870/gtx260+ maybe.

I'll buy you a beer anyway

why not repeat the last comps?

That would actually be cool.

3dmark01 all out ES allowed no benchmate 3dmark06 all out ES allowed no benchmate 32M all out ES allowed no benchmate Everything all out ES allowed.

I'm not going to claim that I know everything about cheapaschips competitions but clearly I do. step1 - hardware that is AVAILABLE GLOBALLY - useless for this kind of comp if people in europe cant buy what we in australia can, etc. step2 - its gotta be dirt cheap. we're talking less than $50 for a cpu or video card, we want people killing them and going out to buy more. This is why we kept using HD5450 and GT610s. G3258 was another good one. step3 - Hardmods & efficiency. when I ran these competitions locally, they were about teaching, learning, sharing 2 specific things that are important to benching effectively - that is OPERATING SYSTEM EFFICIENCY and VIDEO CARD MODDING. I wanted people who had never picked up a soldering iron to go out, buy a cheap iron and learn what it is to put some resistors on a card, and see what it gets you. I wanted people to run superpi on windows7 and wonder WHY was that person running XP absolutely smashing their scores, and then WANTING to go out and learn how they do it better. step4 - I dont think these things can be done with modern benchmarks, they're just not tweakable enough. Cinebench, X265, GPUPI - look, they're great benchmarks and I do actually like them, but you cant see the massive difference in them when you enable LargeSystemCache or run order for legacy benchmarks and I really think it needs to be legacy. I always relate this back to one of my first locally run competitions - 32M Superpi, and 3dmark01. It was sandy bridge era, and I had a 56X multi CPU, and my other competition was uncle fester with a 53X CPU, and I was running both benchmarks in win7, and he was using XP and he absolutely destroyed my scores with 300mhz less clock. I was initially mad, I accused him of cheating, but what it did make me do, was WANT to know how he out did me. And so I started doing some research and learned how to make efficient OS, and how to tweak the system for better scores, learning about how memory oc was so important. This should be at the heart and soul of Cheapaschips - Getting in newbies to have some fun, get toweled up a bit, but then learning and teaching how the scores are made afterwards. Lastly, for tiebreaker, it has to be 3dmark03 lowest possible score. Its just the best.

who cares

who the hell considers luumi and steponz to be pro overcklockers? it would be nive to addet less benchmarks to be listet on hwbot in my opinion. lets just keep 3dmark01 and 06 and call it a day.
