Score is bad because the RAM isn't good enough. Either go to 2800C9 or get some PSC. And yes Cache will help too.

Can someone from the staff please tell me if it was absolutely necessary to have the CPU-Z memeory tab open during the ScreenShots used for submissions. I just noticed that I didn't do that for some of my subs in the 2Core/4Core rounds. Its XTU so I don't think it matters much, but would prefer to have a proper answer so I can understand how it will affect the work I put in last month & if I should continue.

I only quoted the parts I have something to say about. This is not true, if you are good enough then you can get decent points with the current gen systems. Does the 4790K look like a part that belongs in an "everyday high-end system". Look how many points I got for my submission a few days back http://hwbot.org/submission/2797450_rtsurfer_xtu_core_i7_4790k_1278_marks There is nothing "special" about this setup whatsoever, it done with an H100i. The CPU is bought in retail & not binned by anyone special except me. (Picked the best out of 2, guess I got lucky). And I spent my time hunting down double-sided Samsung, but everyone who is actually serious about Overclocking knows that you need either PSC or Samsung to get good result with DDR3. These are regularly sold on hwbot or other enthusiast forums. Personally I'm myself pretty pissed at the current DDR3 scenerio. While this clarifications only apply to this specific scenario, I'll still put it out there. Except matose & rsnubje all other TitanX results are from 'retail' parts. A lot of OCN people bought TitanX's on launch day with one day shipping. Those are the results that have been on the Frontpage from the past days. So this example is flawed. Bottom line its possible to be competitive in your own league & receive points if you are good at it.

Uh oh....

Sup Prokon. I've been visiting your profile recently, you are kicking more butt than me.. Looks like the Cold Bug bit you hard. As for this score, I already have a better one, this just for the competition.

5G Pentium. Nice. Mine requires 1.44V for 4.5G POS.

Looks like the Hwbot staff have forgotten about this competition.

Ya now it does. It want for the first 5-10 mins.

No target again for both 2Core & 4Core rounds.

Submission page not working Edit:- Seems to be working now.

Edit:- Fixed.

15-45.?? And I thought running XTU on 2 Cores @ 4.5Ghz was slow & time consuming. This is going to be like watching paint dry.

Can be done, its just hard.. People with Delided chips & water chillers(not sure if allowed) are gonna dominate. Also would have been nice if this target was in some earlier stages when it was Winter outside, since I have a mere H100i, I need lower ambient temps.

The last hours are called Pop Corn time for a reason.

Thanks for the answer Massman.

Umm... Have the winners been contacted yet.?

NVM.

This better not be true.

Nice. Can't wait till HWBOT enables points on this Bench, so people have more to do with their AMD VGAs except Heaven. Even in Heaven the 980s have surpassed AMD, but hopefully that will change with the next Gen. As for the different mix & match of cards, I am pretty sure you will break HWBOT. So they'll have to find a way to fix that or maybe you'll have to find a way to disable it.

What CPU pot is that.??

Congratulations on the WR..!!!

Maybe the GPU is throttling in some way.? I know its kind of basic but did you increase the power limit in Gpu Tweak/ AfterBurner.

Accidental WR. Lol...

From what I understand, the Noctua prizes remain while EK added more prizes on top of it. Plus as per the old rules you had to finish in Top 3 overall in the competition instead of a stage to get a prize. Now if you finish in the top of 3 of CPU stage 1 & are not in the Top 3 overall, you still get a prize. This is a win win except that you might have more competition due to the time extension.

Nah. Pretty sure its single sided. I see chips on the front,on the other side there is just one straight continuous strip, which is probably a thermal pad. You sure you not thinking about the C9 ones, which are usually Double sided Hyko. Edit:- Pics According to the information in the XS DDR3 thread, this is Hynix CFR.
