All sounds good looking forward to this.?

Its all on the competition page.

Thanks fellas it was fun.

I didnt realise that 2 cpu is allowed this time

Isnt this just a rehash of Round 2 ?

Nice

Nice

Thanks.☺️ I might have pictures if not I will scrape the Let off the controller IC tomorrow and see what it is I done the mods a long time ago the mem mod is with fixed resistors. I think I originally got them from TPU or Guru3D

I have slightly different heatsinks on my Hercules GF3 Ti 500 but they are glued on as well they not the only thing from that era that had heatsinks glued on with epoxy

Leave TPP alone all this no points these days for a new person they might get what 0.2 points for a lower score but they also get a couple of Team Power Points which gives them some enthusiasm to continue at least they are getting something. When I first started I thought I will give this a go and was using Socket A which I had 2 solid state drives in Raid 0 it was just the way I had it setup and a Gainward 7800GS and was getting points and Gold Cups for PCM04 and 05 and I was hooked for SPI, wprime and such I sucked and was getting 0.1 points or thereabouts. If it hadnt of been for the points I was getting for 04/05 and the TPP I probably would of just walked away. You are supposed to be making it attractive for new members to join and have fun not just the people that are experienced and have the latest and greatest binned hardware. Giving no points weather it be user points or TPP doesnt make it look very good for new members. Not many worry about Team points anyway so why change it.

Nice David.

Excellent Good job.

Nice Carl

Dont worry I am not complaining at all I am quite happy with it :)

Thanks I would of liked better probably give it another run later CPU is a potato though.

Thanks I would of liked better my CPU is a potato

WTG Kotori-san :)

Nitrogen or Bust?

I understand from your point Alby dont worry about that I dont expect 20 Divisions. I just think its funny how you can run every APU that will fit in a Crossblade Ranger its like FM2 socket against AM3+.socket. It should be one or the other. If GPUPI isnt divided by core count shouldnt be a problem.

Again we cruel the FX Octocore so the small and later released more efficient APUs can compete. I always thought Bracketed Competitions were about people competing with the same or very similar hardware not a wide scope of different hardware with different efficiencies..

As far as I know GM965 only supports 200Mhz only really way to find out if it will support 266mhz would be to stick the CPU in and see how it goes. If you BSEL the processor for 200mhz bus 200x11=2200mhz not faster than what you got maybe a better option would be a X9000 processor 200x14=2800mhz and it has the 6Mb L2 cache. P.S. I am a big fan Tin a silent lurker on Xdevs and KPC☺️

Where you are ranked against your team on your own profile page is where you are ranked against everyone and its your personal points and you are ranked 4th in the leagues against your team mates. Where you are ranked on your team page is your contribution to the team not your personal points they are two completely different rankings and always have been. Notice when you make a sub you get points and you get team points. As Yosarian said the recalc wont be finished till April its no use complaining till then and dont expect your ranking to be exactly as it was before if the algorithim has changed.

I was wondering are there going to be trophies for the challenger series this year they were a nice touch.

With my first runs with DMI=1 that I had to redo I did SPI @ 115x3=345 but CPUz showed 100x3.5=350 with DMI=0 it showed 345. I did CPU frequency @ 100x3.5=350 I seen the sub you are talking about 66x5 there is no way that any of them can do 5x multi it could of been set at anything and I wouldnt believe the CPU speed either it was probably thereabouts but wouldnt of been accurate DMI has to be off in CPUz

The 166MMX has to be dated earlier than week 40 to be unlocked mine is week 28 I would guess an early 200MMX would be probably unlocked to 3.5 too. If I tried 4 x multi with the 166 it reverted to 133mhz. On the ALI chipset GA-5AA setting DMI=0 takes away bus speed, multi and bios info in mainboard tab I couldnt say with the other chipsets. I say next time socket 7 is involved just make it benchmarks SPI, Wprime, Cine 2003 or similar and not CPUz validations. Frequency validation is not really a benchmark anyway.
