Am I right in thinking that the Rookie Rumbles (and Novice Nimbles) are optional? I see that Novice Nimble needs a team... one thing at a time I have never paid attention to any of this before, now I have to explain it to someone!

Found the Rankings-> Overclockers tab. Yes, that definitely helps thankyou So, there's a progression that must be followed? (if everything was working) My mate doesn't (currently) want to get really drawn in, just submit a few scores for fun when he feels like it. I sold him a couple of my spare cards, he wants to know what the fuss is about I've been here for so long and there's so much I can't explain

Would it be possible to add a big "How HWBot works" link to the top of the front page... linking to a brief overview of how leagues and the basics work? I think it would be helpful for newcomers who probably feel a bit lost when they first see the site. A mate has just asked me what would happen if he joined up.... and I couldn't tell him Are new folk automatically put into Rookie?

Instructions unclear. Dick caught in ceiling fan. Almost spat out my coffee at reading your post In reply to another post.... MHz must be reported accurately, right? Else CPU-Z and GPU-Z are UTTERLY POINTLESS

Is there a way to make results submitted before date X unreportable as standard? ie... when a "big" change is made to the rules, everything already submitted cannot be reported so easily? I know that with a suggestion so simple, there are a lot of holes, but something along these lines could be really useful. I don't know when the GPU-Z rule was first enforced, so I don't know what is and isn't on the wrong side of being reported etc.

I think you have taken things too far now

Ask Ebay and see what it says

Well, that does spill over into a larger conversation, but this thread is not the place for it

No idea, just guesses

Oh... the mxxxxx and cxxxxx BIOS are for core or mem MHz. Flash under cold if you're going to I've not used any of them. Good for testing/binning I guess.

Was gonna say.... the link is a fundamental part of Fermi architecture....

Happy birthday

Green card? Shouldn't this be in the nVidia section?

Some more cheap train tickets popped up, so I jumped on 'em I'll arrive Thursday evening, leave Saturday after lunch

Nope. Why?

Maaaan that's a good CPU! Nicely done!

Question to those going.... Will anyone be arriving on Thursday evening? I A/ might be going and B/ might have missed out on cheap train tickets, so am looking at alternatives. Currently looks like i'll be arriving after 5pm. If Thursday, then I need someone to drink with. If Friday, I need someone to do nightshift with

Nice! When you said bad news, I was worried that the BIOS flash had gone wrong!

eVGA offered 4-way GTX285 by having a BIOS that identified the card as a GTX295 so that the nVidia drivers would be tricked into offering 4-way SLI. The result is accurate. As far as I know, the only way to run 4-way '285 is to find 4 of these eVGA cards..... ALTHOUGH.... maybe nVidia drivers have since been updated to allow any GTX285 to be used in 4-way.

The answer here is to set up a VID leaderboard. Higher is better, right? Like a wooden spoon award for having bad luck in CPU binning

Here's the pin-out. Datasheet used to be under NDA, though the pin-out was easy to find... Tested and confirmed working by me. Example PCB layout:

Everyone wins. The best kind of win

I.nfraR.ed has achieved zen. This is the person to be envious of!

Retail BIOS have most bugs fixed? I must change board vendor

Ok, let's scrap all leagues and combine it into one big free for all? Thousands of posts have been dedicated to league ideas over the years and same again for ES.... (and they weren't all mine! )
