    Too much sponsoring in OC League!!!

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted

    C'mon most of the top guys of the oc leage have hundreds of hw points that none have come of sponsoring.The have come from binning and benching old cards and cpus,also running obscure categories (primes,pcmark and now cinebench) that give many gl points and all this hardware have nothing to do with sponsoring...

    And to achieve all this there are many hours of benching,much self money involved and a LOT of ln2.

     

    Also imo getting a free sample now and then is soooo much different than sponsoring.All ocers that went to computex got a gift or two but i don't think that is sponsoring,

     

    In my mind having a sponsor means that you don't care about burning cpu's,damaging vga's etc vendors pay for ln2 etc but i don't think that's the case here,maybe that's only me of course :)

    Suggest pool - to ban or not to ban ES samples

    Imo it's all about binning... vendors have been binning es hasswell chips since 2012...

    Every time a new cpu comes out it's the same discussion,but i'm pretty sure by late August there will be retails that will hit es speeds easily...who doesn't remember the Gulftown es topic?

    We still haven't seen any Costa Rica's out only a couble of Malay's batches so we cannot make that kind of assumptions so early...

    I've seen something similar with an early i7 940... but it was only one cpu at about the same temps Kenny describes...

    I remember raisining a voltage insanely high to get past it but i have to get a bios screen in front of me to remember which one...

    HD 4870 locked clocks fix

    Υou don't need the second tab to overclock Ati cards from riva.

    In the first set of tabs click in the first icon (where usually you see the fan settings for nvidia cards) and adjust the clocks.

    The cfg file was needed only for checking-adjusting voltages not clocks.

    Locked clocks used to be an early problem with this cards but got rid of it with newer version of riva etc,i remember wrighting a thread about overclocking them through bios flashing... damn that's 5 years ago... http://www.hwbox.gr/ati-amd/1741-pos-na-anebasete-tin-ati-4870-pano-apo-790-1100-pou-afinei-o-ati-catalyst.html
