3.5" HDD coming in clutch

Glad to see you still at it! I have been trying to hit 8g and have this board. How do you get past the 333fsb wall with the Pentium chips?

well, I had the gold for less than 24 hours. well done.

Very nice.

Tagg sporting FX? Unheard of...

nicely done

Well done sir

good ol sempy on the front page. Well done.

very impressive

yes its one of the binned ones. 4th module at 2.075v

Glad to see the lucky Skyline can coming in clutch once again.

Fun bench session with Unity, Forks and Yos

Now for SDR, DDR, DDR2, DDR3 and DDR4 records.

nicely done

didnt we already do 5770? Why not 6870/6850?

Benchmarks should be platform agnostic. Doesnt seem in the spirit of a "cheap" comp if you need the latest platform to be competitive 6870 is a good alternative to 4870 imo. Bother are good options

I say HD 4870/4890. Cloudgate GPU Vantage Performance Heaven basic

Monster score. Well done.

dang. any chance to rerun and try again?

I think (at least for this year) a two week break between competitions was not enough. The argument for moving CC is that it conflicts with the holidays which makes it harder to focus on. Either way, a larger gap between the two competitions I think would make it easier on a lot of people. The suggestion for moving CC to Jan-Feb would basically guarantee a comfortable gap between the comps and not interfere with the holidays.

Very nice!

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of FX. Long live 13th Gen. Congrats. One hell of a score!

AMD GPUpi for CPU can we use AM3 CPU's in a AM2/+ board?

I agree that the crossfire stage should be narrowed down to terascale, so 3000-6000 series. I also think it would be fun to do a benchmark for FM2/+ that would use the IGPU as well as the CPU. Something like vantage performance would be fun.

9590 on a 95w board... Simply amazing
