    Ex Tee You!

    Just checked the database an in less than two months we hit the 5000 XTU Profiles mark and over 4000 score results. Also, two weeks in the contest there are 100 people playing and over 250 results. XTU is going waaaaay better than expected. It's really nice to see a big project like this turn out the way it does. Thanks to everyone supporting the software and spreading the love! Couldn't do this without the community's support, that's for sure! :celebration::celebration::celebration: :celebration::celebration::celebration: :celebration:
  2. What lessens did you learn from LoL eSports?
  3. That's indeed a bug - competition points should always be awarded. Can you give me a link to a submission and I'll add it to the backlog.
  4. Yeah, that's what I was told as well. From what I gather, they have a multi-divisional league structure where the Professional teams are being paid to go from venue to venue and live in a house near that venue. All paid by LCS. Very impressive indeed.
  5. Last year I spent quite a while looking into eSports and the organisation and I was not too impressed with the level of professionalism. Last night I stumbled upon the Lolesports.com website and spend the next three hours looking at various movies and explanatory articles. This is just crazy. Check out the Season2 re-cap video above! First time I was genuinly impressed with eSports, I guess. Damn!
  6. Temps are not even hitting 40°C - need to figure out how to give this things moar voltage
  7. Primary and some secondary timings can be viewed if the motherboard BIOS supports XTU properly. This is what I get with the MSI GD65, for example. Tertiary timings, no.
  8. Try submitting to the contest again, I think it's fixed now.
  9. Thanks for the info, very useful. Seems like XTU thinks you're using the 1.25x gear ratio. Probably related to the board not passing on the correct information.
  10. JDK8 is the key; over 200% performance boost [hwbot=2405985]submission[/hwbot]
  11. Yeah ... this is going to be a massive PR problem, I think. Two questions: 1) Will MSI issue a press release to acknowledge the issue and inform the public when it's solved? 2) How did the virus get there? http://blog.dynamoo.com/2013/07/msicom-hacked-with-kristians1net.html
  12. Hm, The cups should be removed instantly. The achievements I don't know. Let me check.
  13. Updated GIGABYTE and a bunch of MSI BIOSes. Some of the MSI BIOSes are older versions I just added to complete the list. There are a couple new ones, though! - MSI Z87 XPower --- 1.16: download - MSI Z87 MPower Max --- 1.32: download --- 1.2: download - MSI Z87-G43 --- 1.42: download --- 1.41: download - MSI Z87 MPower --- 1.42: download --- 1.2: download - MSI Z87-G45 Gaming --- 1.44: download --- 1.3: download --- 1.2: download - MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming --- 1.43: download --- 1.36: download --- 1.35: download --- 1.34: download --- 1.2: download - GIGABYTE Z87X-UD3H --- F6 download - GIGABYTE Z87X-OC --- F5 download
  14. Been playing a bit with the Raspberry Pi. So far, 212 at 1100/600/550. No idea how to get to 400, though. There seems to be a problem for uploading the file to the hwbot server from the terminal. Not sure if user error or bug.
  15. I don't see a reason why Genieben's wrapper would give bugged scores. Mostly, when users report a bugged scores it's a matter of finding a couple settings that is making the result lower than expected.
  16. What is the real multiplier you've used? Want to know for debugging purposes
  17. Another big comp coming up? Or you planning to kick ass in the ASRock one
  18. Just checking the CPU-Z record database and saw the TeamGroup DDR3-4344 score is missing. Validation link says it's valid but not published - anyone know why? http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2835560 Before: Now:
  19. Ram performance (frequency, timings), not density .
  20. 740m has a PCIe interface and is not integrated in either the CPU or chipset, I think. So can't be used for the integrated part.
  21. Enjoy the summerplace guys, it's awesome!
  22. Most of the MFR reviews I've seen do not make sense. So far, only Hokie's I found to be good. The others are misleading or simply outright bunnyextraction. I honestly think that this kind of hardware gives us a great insight in what review sites do things right and which do things wrong. I have a lot of respect for Techpowerup and Dave - he definitely knows his stuff and does a fair amount of testing (probably more than we know) - but the latest MFR review did not make too much sense to me. The story with MFR is very simple: it is always slower than dirt-cheap 2400C9 kits and it can clock really high. The price is really high because it requires a lot of man hours to bin the most high-end ICs. But as far as I'm concerned, there should be a general outrage from media and "journalists" about this super-expensive products with underwhelming performance. I mean, people are outraged when the GTX Titan was launched at USD $1000, but are seemingly okay with this $400 DDR3-2400C9-like performance kits. How is that possible?! The only argument one could make with MFR is that it can reach the highest frequency. That's it. Therefore, any kit that does not do the highest frequency should not get any award whatsoever. What makes a company stand out against the rest is when it's able to make the highest clocked kit in mass-production, something so far only G.SKILL has achieved with their 2933 and 3000 kits. They are available on Newegg. I haven't seen any other brand put up those kits in retail channels - just a small amount of samples sent out to media and journalist. A mass-production retail available DDR3-3000 kit, that is very impressive. Anything below that frequency is "nice try, but not good enough". Anything that is not available is "nice marketing, but not impressed". Perhaps I am one of the few to be so angry about this . I just can't believe that so many media and reviewers have jumped on the MFR bandwagon pretending it's something great when it's actually a terrible product for anyone but extreme overclockers hunting for max frequency records. For anyone else, it's quite simply a bad choice! (ps: hokie, I talked with the guys at G.SKILL about your MFR review and you gained a lot of respect in that company. Thumbs up man!)
  23. Depends on what the award says. "Recommended", "must have", and all other buying recommendations shouldn't be given to every single product reviewed. I like THG's "Smart Buy".
