Anyway people sells hardware so maybe they don't have it anymore, don't know how effective would it be...

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, have an idea for relating points and activity, dont know if its good but can be a base: See which bench had more users in the last year, take that as 100% users, and then divide benchs in 3 categories: - Benchs with 75% or more of that 100%: Keep Normal Puntuation - Benchs between 25% and 75%: {[(Percentaje-25)*2)/100]}*normal puntuation. - Benchs less than 25% = no points. Why this formula in the second case? 75%-25% = 50%, 50%*2=100% of normal puntuation, but having less than 75%, for example 65%, you get 65-25 = 40, 40*2 = 80, 80/100= 0.8 and then you get 80% of the normal puntuation of the bench, sucessfully reducing the puntuation of a bench with not that much activity. Of course that 75% and 25% can change if the benchs above 75% are only 2 or 3, its just an idea.

Yeah, this would be great, I gave a very similar idea for a transition some pages ago: "maybe adding globals to Fire Strike Ultra and/or Catzilla 4K wont be bad, and once they got a decent number of users (nobody bench them now cause they dont give points), take out points of Fire Strike and Catzilla 720P." New cards are designed for 4K so it would be nice to test them with 4K and get globals for that, and not globals for 720p where they have a ridiculous performance.

I said in one of my comments that some old 3D benches are pure CPU benchs, I said this looking it from the point of view of taking out global points, 3DM2001 SE and Aquamark WR are with a stock GPU, 3DMark05 air cooled GPU, cause the thing to make the WR in this benchs is a high CPU. I'm not discrediting this WR, cause they involve lot of tweaking knowledge and effort looking for a good CPU, but they are supposed to be GPU benches and they are actually CPU benches. Hardware Points obviously must stay, cause like lot of people said you need to search for a good GPU, and then mod it without killing it, with isn't a easy job at all. I killed two cards at my first attempts to make a zombie GPU with G-Powerboard, and I finally managed to get working my 3rd card with a lot of effort, and my mod is very stupid beside the professional mods that a lot of people make here to get a 1st hardware place, so I imagine the effort behind that and think that of course it should be rewarded with Hardware points.

Nice efficiency LOL

Yeah, each bench performs better with different OS, using only one OS for every bench isn't recommended at all. I have 5 differents OSs installed right now for different benches. This may not be exactly the correct OS for each bench but it is what I use: SuperPi = XP SP3, Wprime = W10 x64 or W7x64 , Cinebench = W10 x64 or W7 x64 , Geekbench = W10 x64 or W7 x64, XTU = W10 or W8.1 32 bit both, HWBOT Prime = W10 or W8.1 x64, and for 3D 3DM2001 and 03 with XP SP3, the rest W10 x64. All of them stripped and with some other changes but thats your work. Hope it helps, anyway like Rauf said, check the rankings and look what OS they use. For 3D you can look at GPU-Z to know the OS fastly.

I agree with this, maybe some benchs aren't needed already, one cinebench would be ok, and also I won't make problem if SuperPi 1M and/or WPrime 32M are out since the most difficult are 32M and 1024M respectivelly. Old 3Dmarks and aquamark are turning into golden CPU benchmarks more than 3D, so I think that maybe also taking out some of them won't be a problem. I would also like to see movement from 720P benchs to 4k benchs since it what its actually going on now and for what cards are being designed, so maybe adding globals to Fire Strike Ultra and/or Catzilla 4K wont be bad, and once they got a decent number of users (nobody bench them now cause they dont give points), take out points of Fire Strike and Catzilla 720P.

40 hardware points slots will make new people have very low points against people that its since a lot on HWBOT and already have a good number of good submissions, and maybe even requires lot of people of extreme to start getting past generations hardware to get hardware points, since this generation will give globals and not hardware points if only one type of points is considered by submission. Anyway I think this new revision will reflect better the amount of effort that everybody makes, R6 is full of points without effort like XTUs with XMP mems + locked CPUs that gives lot of points, and some people has all their HP column full of that, and really a score with XMP profile is no effort for such points. Global points wont get extensions of ammount of points counting? I ask this since there are more slots for hardware and competition points. EDIT: Hardware points were reduced a lot, for example #58 of 560Ti on 3DM06 gives 12.2 HWP on rev 6, 3.3 HWP on rev 7, I think its too much difference. You need to be like top #20 on hardware even on very popular pieces to get 20 points.

Wow, that clock! Tried Heaven? Would like to see how this Asus goes against "the white one"

Congrats for the WR! Sad to hear that the boards died

You scored 999, not 1328, fix it!

Just installed XP, played a while with 32m... TridentZ 3600 C16 @ 1.95v, no waza

Ok, thanks a lot! Will install XP on weekend and try...

Using 50-51-6-6 right now, got some boots with 50-51-5-5 at 4040MHz but couldn't make those adjustments again so using 50-51-6-6 now. This are my adjustments right now: Until what voltage is it safe? Want to make tertiary timings a little bit tighter if possible, using 1,925v right now.

What max voltage do you recommend to use with TridentZ 3600 C16 B-Die modules on MOCF? used 1.925v for 4080 c12 1t but tertiary timings aren't so good and neither IOLs, so I would like to know how much voltage can I give them without killing anything...

Dram volts were ok, raised vccio from 1.25v to 1.3v and worked fine... Thanks for help

Yeah, got sucessfull boots until 3960, but not at 4000. Thanks again for your help

Thanks... I let VTT DDR on auto? or set it manual?

Bought this motherboard few days ago, in replace of ATX OCF... Im using the same voltages that I used in big one for 4000 c12-12-12-28 2T, but can't make 1T with this voltages, it loads windows but I get BSOD when it has to show desktop. Since there are new voltages on MOCF, do I have to manually set any of them? like VTT DDR... This are my settings right now: Thanks!

I think they benched it with new Intel CPUs and they are still under NDA so they can't show anything yet... Just my thought

Thats 16k, not 32m ^^

Cant change it since competition finished, report it so a mod can change it

UPDATED WITH NEW PICS Gigabyte gave it to me last year... Thanks! PD: nice to have a comment of a master of OC in my thread Yeah, I know, but its works that it's the important thing jaja Will put more effort on next one ^^

Yeah, the problem is that it has to support a lot of current with high OC and those cables aren't enough yet, so I have to add more... Yeah, I think the same... With stock voltage it was normal, have to try with more now

Hi, I wanted to share some pics of my mod to a XFX 9800GTX+ using a Gigabyte G-PowerBoard. I know that soldering is horrible, the mod is still not finished yet, I just connected it fast to see if the GPU still worked. I need to improve VGPU connections and add more ground cables. I would like to know if someone has any suggestion to make about the mod, since this is my first mod using an external powerboard. Here are the pics: UPDATE NUMBER ONE - Added more grounds and improved vGPU Connection: Also added heatsink from stock cooling system and added two 80mm fans for air test... Test on my 24/7 OS with stock CPU, fans on silent mode (Very low spinning, thats why it hits that temp). The GPU profile is the max stable with stock VRM on stock cooling, didn't try pushing more yet, just checking that it works fine with some stress bigger than showing desktop. Will update soon when I test it with some benchs on XP...
