  1. question: isn't that an indication the bench didn't pass? I always re-run when that happens. Curious.
  2. Exactly ^^^^^ should we handicap a person who bought the hyperthreading processor because in your words, "This would be perfectly fine if hyper threading gave a very small advantage, like only a few percent, but isn't it somewhere around a 40% gain? It is literally making a stock 6700k better than a jackpot find in the silicon lottery 6600k. " I mean seriously i cant afford that hardware but such is the nature of the game. So do we also handicap people with a 6600k "golden chip?" one that overclocks better than all the rest? I mean buying pre-binned chips are all the rage now so isn't that an advantage? ( silicon lottery 6600k) for instance. If and when you join the ranks of those who have a golden 6600k chip or a 6700k , i think you will look back on this conversation in a different light. Maybe it will take a bit when the chips get sold to get the latest and greatest but we cant all compete with the better chip. In the end its not so much about the hardware but how to use it. Tips, tweaks, learned knowledge, tenacity and luck seem to be as much as part of the equation as the hardware. I hope you decide to take the long view as i have because we all deal with the same issues. Sometimes it works in your favor, some times it doesn't but it's not news. Not by a long shot. And i mean no disrespect but calling things stupid and demanding a "fair fight" that takes power from a better processor to bench with your rig is only "fair" to those with that processor. Everyone on the mailing list got the email. Take some time to get to know the competitions and the rules. There are a lot of them. And good luck, there are different competitions all the time.
  3. hi guys im late to the party but finally got paid. id like to donate not sure how. sent a pm a while back with no responce. Can someone point me in the rigtht direction? Btw nice job on the teamwork. Sunset1
  4. its also important to check the rules section of the benchmark download page. because of timer issues some os's cant be used in certain benches. For instance, Cinebench r15 Cinebench R15 Rules When you download a benchmark, for instance cpu benches, on the right side of the page are rules links for that bench. They specify which os you can run as well as any other documentation you may need to submit. For example http://hwbot.org/benchmarks/processor The timer issue started with some benches with windows 8.
