I learned a shitload from your posts back when I started getting into overclocking. Really sad to see you quit. I hope you recover soon and come back to the Bot some time
Thank you Skullstation. I received a message from my Team Captain. He asked the moderators and got this in response:
This was the reason I submitted this result. There was another Westmere already in the competition, I think a Westmere-WS W3670, and since it is all the same core anyways it should be okay.
Well, I'm glad I received REX in a Lillifee box and not Lillifee stuff in a rampage box
Grabbed it for ~60€, and it looks almost mint now that I got the dust off, so can't complain about packaging too much
Actually, a W3670 is a Westmere-WS and the same CPU as the Westmere-EP, just without possibility to use on Dual sockets.
I hope we X5600 guys were just forgotten
I just benched Stage 4 on my Xeon X5650. But now I can not submit, because HWbot says my CPU is not allowed. Could you please add Xeon X5600-series to stage 4? I think it should be allowed since it scores exactly the same as W3670, i7 980X etc.
