    Hey bro Welcome to the forum! I have a 5600+ here. For a 24/7 system, I love it. Id be willing to give up a chunk of performance for AMD purely because of AMDs mounting mechanism!!

    Pffft...amateurs. thinking the BIOS doesnt support USB keyboard? That needs power!! Ever forgot to turn on the PSU..or plug it into the mains?!

    I agree with this. I dont see what the big deal is. Do you want another PCM05 scenario where results are utterly skewed because of the way the bench is coded? Rules are rules. Theres no reason to be in the huff, everyone is in the same boat.

    http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=632592 Based on the CPU used and the MHz, comparing the run to the results behind it, this *might* be an SLI result? Either that or everyone else has completely misinterpreted where the GPU bottleneck kicks in and all their extra CPU power is going to waste

    NONE of this is meant as a put-down to the country or websites: Why is Germany represented by a specific forum/ website when all the others are simply flying under their Nations Flag? Why arent you and Marc involved anywhere if its down to big names?

    France, Germany, Spain, Japan and Italy all jump out Theres major benchers in all those countries!

    I've managed to get 970MHz RAM to boot fine in tri-channel mode but so far I dont have the stability (might well be voltage). Once it knocks itself down to 2-channel, stability is much better. Also appears to be more likely to boot into tri-channel mode from a cold boot before the chip has risen up to stable running temp I need sooo much more test time... the stuff I have to get done just stretches off into the future

    I do question the guest team choices, but not out of explicit disrespect to any of them. This isnt just because the UK isnt involved so "boo-hoo not fair" wheres Germany and France? Are the Greek and Finnish markets really bigger? (genuine question, im not sniping) If you're focussing on the developed markets, isnt that just preaching to the converted?

    Can team members be replaced mid-season if they arent performing or cant devote the necessary time due to unexpected family problems etc?
  10. K404
    Fingers crossed for ya idea (not tested yet) this gets worse from 933MHz.
  11. K404
    I was back at the testing today and I managed to get the RAM down to 1 channel in some situations. If its reproducable on demand.. and for my situation im fairly happy that I can-, would that not suggest an instability or limitation rather than degredation? Not tried under cold.

    Neither of my kits are Elpida CAS 6 appears to be a fantasy.

    Corsair Dom 3GB and Crucial Tracer 6GB (2 days old) 920 C0 CPU. At the mo I think its a sign of instability, not impending death... but im still fairly new to I7. Im typically running 1.44vQPI and either 1.65 or 1.75vDIMM.

    Damn! the thread was on here, not XS. I've posted something on XS, I believe its happening to me as well http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3835661#post3835661 Thanks Tom for the nudge is diagnosis. I was blaming lowgap

    If its a ghosted OS, please ignore my comments about a shared base system, with my apologies
  16. K404
    I do consider your example to be different. This is the same base system, with different CPUs plugged in. Its not so much a software tweak as a software setup shared. Its not the same as telling someone "try this"... its already been done for them- they dont even need to understand the tweak or even how to apply it. Thats hypothetical of course, benching LN2 at that level suggests the person has an excellent idea what they're doing. Andre- just saw your post did you pre-load your OS ghost with CPU-Z, Pifast.bat, SPi etc? Is the same icon placement just the result of OS install and how the OS would place the icons by default?
  17. K404
    Even if its not an illegal act, isnt this example really close to the line of whats considered acceptable or not? Same board, OS and tweaks- what if one classified board was used around 5-6 guys? They would all get better results that they would otherwise, like using a golden GPU etc. Im not sure what to think about this. Its not gentlemanly and feels like people are taking advantage of whats considered legal in the wrong way

    Make the submission process as hard as ya like to make sure results are solid Theres a massive community here who are largely happy to help out...if ya need more mods just post on the forum

    Multi-CPU CPUs have different names, I think it can be done. Obviously, similar to multi-GPU Vs single 2,3,4 are lumped in together it wouldnt be possible to try and class a 4-way system in a 2-way leaderboard for example. CPU-Z will deal with 90%+ of naming screwups. Same rules as always- if it looks dodgy, someone will report it and the score can be analysed.
  20. K404
    Please can we split off multi-CPU results into their own leaderboard? I've asked before and I still think its a valid idea
  21. K404
    No idea, i've not tried W7 yet. Probably not though?
  22. K404
    We have probably all seen the large boost Windows 7 gives in 3DMark 03. For a while, I was under the impression submissions in '03 with windows 7 werent allowed. Has that changed? an 8800GT would gain a good 7K....every leaderboard will be drastically changed.
  23. K404
    Err.... as title really. If two different cards are used together, how should the result be submitted to HWB? Im guessing that it should be entered as a multi-GPU score in the category of the more powerful card? What if the cards are a CF/ CF-X of low-end current gen and high-end of last-gen, Or... if the cards performance is fairly similar? K

    A photo of the monitor mid run would help deter casual cheats, as suggested earlier. The iteration times would have to match the screeny so cheating would be harder.

    Points arent awarded to PCMark04 any more. K
