    Achievements - What do you want?

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted · Edited by Antinomy

    This one is for multi-socket submissions: http://hwbot.org/community/achievement/701_
    I know. The idea is different. If the achievements like water, sub-zero and vendors don't say anything about how good is the result, I suggest in adding some that do.

     

    And if now it's just a "bench and you'll get it anyway" I suggest a "hardware king" in a specific hardware category. I think it's better to divide by socket, though sometimes can be done by core in addition (if there's a lot of cores within one socket).

     

    It's a challenge achievement, like our king's throne :)

     

    But there are guys, like orange, who has best socket 3 results (not to mention Turrican who is best in a number of categories and even sockets). If kicking Hardware Kings ass is a very tough one then making so in one socket is far more real.

     

    Same to dual socket - this can be even more fun as it's much harder to push 'em.

     

    And I agree about the important statuses being shown in profile and signature.

    Agree about the Junkie reward. I've already suggested some achievements in e-mails but one I remember well:

     

    "Socket yyy domination" or "Socket yyy king". For getting most boints on current socket type. For example, LGA775 or others. I think this should be applied only to rather usual one, bot like the AMD s539 or what it was?

    Oh, yeah - and a "dual socket king" or "dual socket domination" as well - you can't achieve any good points on them since rev.3 so at least an achievement would be nice. But for desktop/WS socket only.

     

    I'll try to remember some more.

    New wave AGP: AM2NF3-VSTA overclocking

    Nice! But you brought it not for Superpi, did you? :D

     

    If you're going to extreme and high frequencies, I would suggest to get a dual-core. Our member used a Phenom II X4 965 and it made bad to the PWM. Now, under high load the voltage drops about 0,2-0,25V and this is very high. As you understand this is not the time that you can turn the FB resistor a bit further.

    I think that this happened because the voltage regulator is kind of weak for quad cores. And you don't need quads in almost all but one benchmarks.

    Thank you! I've got a secret. I've been studying in a school in Singapore (English - official language) for 1.5 years and after that - a year in Sydney. That was in 93-94, a bit of knowledge remains in my head after these years :D

     

    And I prefer manuals, datasheets and hardware specs in English - sometimes I can't say what these interpretors meaned by their words. Or what kind of stuff did they take :)

     

    American 'English' has different spellings for some words than original English [from England];)
    Well, I know and I'm more used to the UK (because of Australia) type. But everyone call it "English" and "British English" not the "English" and "American English" - this world isn't fair at all :D

    Why don't you launch your Google Earth Browser and type in Lesotho.???
    Lazy :D it's not the point where it really is. Well' date=' I did have a look and it changes nothing - yes, it can be called as a country of South Africa region.

     

    And relax - no one here is about politics, it's just convenience. A bit of nostalgia maybe. So stop these silly things about the reds are back and so on. It's not about the government - only the [b']name[/b] of a place, nothing more. We've never been agressive and defended our land since ages, but not attacked. The last statement is not the subject, so no need to reply on it ;)

    gulftown ES vs Retail

    in General hardware discussion

    Posted

    remind me of Belgian politicians: using bold statements and suggesting 'solutions' without thinking about the consequences of the proposed solution.
    You think only Belgian? :D

     

     

     

    Guys, I'm kind of a noob and even the ES costs too much for me atm, but I've got an idea.

     

    All thus buzzing began only when the ES became overclocking better than retail samples, yes? Nobody minds of using an older ES CPU - it's even worse than retail usually.

     

    The situation was new with Clarks and Gulfs.

     

    Benchzowner, I don't agree with your statement about "people knew that ES will be restricted sooner or later" - no. The HWBot state was "they are allowed after their retail equivalent is available". And everybody who asked (people didn't take risk) where answered to as above.

     

    So why don't we make the above statement a bit more wide? "ES are allowed after their retail equivalent hits the shelf and it's not dramatically better (doesn't give an unbeatable gain)".

     

    But you have to think that not everyone in this world gets ES for free. Yes, I've seen a foto when a member of our countries team is near a tray with about 20 CPUs. And some other teams won't be able to even have a look at Gulftown this year. But some maybe have the money and buy it. But they buy it specially for benching because it's allowed.

     

    So I agree with Massman. And I suggest to make the rule wider but for the next generations. I don't think somebody has an outstanding Sandy bridge now that can rip the future retails. But we can later see the ES capabilities, compare to retails and see whether it should be allowed or disallowed.

     

    And another one - in case of disallowement, they should have differences that can be verified by software - or how will you say is it a ES or no?

     

    P.S. sorry for too many words :D

    I don't know were Lesotho is. Another example - if we talk about Germany, France, UK and Benelux would it be normal to refer to their people as UK?

    So if you have it your way then anyone in the Kingdom of Lesotho would be a South African;
    If we talk about people from a region, yes anyone from UK, Germany and France would be a European, no?

     

    South Africa is too complicated - I can't differ are you talking about a country (and which one of them?) or a region.

     

    Again, try to remember any alliance, for example the APEC - they can be referred to as Asian-Pacific countries, why not?

    I don't even mention Asia.

    You might forget that USSR<=>Russia.

    The region that is being discussed includes Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazahstan (franly, I don't know why other countries are not included but for us we mostly communicate within three of these than others of exUSSR).

     

    So naming Ukraine and Belarus would be a very big mistake. I don't even mention Ukrainian nationalists - there's none (I hope) of them within hardware community. But at least it would be inpolite.

    I'm sure that President Dmitry Medvedev' date=' would argue he is not a Soviet Citizen.[/quote']Yes, but we're all born in USSR :)

     

    So please differ the country and a region (which now is 15 different countries). If it's named in Russian and the text is Russian too, it doesn't mean that there's no one else - it just means that this one fits better.

     

    P.S. http://ussr.hwbot.org/ - did you look at the flags of the top10 before writing this? ;)
