Okay, fixed something. Try again please

Sweet!

Nice!

Oops, forgot to enable. Try again!

I assume everyone got their prizes by now?

Can you link me to an invalid score? It might be related to some security update we've done. We had this issue with Wprime in the past as well. I'll add the rules today.

Who is Gaby and why did you steal his towel?

Why do you make it sound as if we know the final date and are just trying to hide it from you ? We don't know the final date either. Rumours say October 13-15, but that is not confirmed. As I said to you earlier in private messages, once I know the final date you will know the final date. To get people who don't want to risk/play with high-end platform a chance to get into MOA final.

Nice result!

Updated opening post

Yes, I agree. We will discuss this with the rest of the staff and decide by tonight. By the way, just to clarify something. It is allowed to lend a CPU or VGA from a friend to enter the MOA competition, but note that: - your friend cannot be participating him- or herself - you must disable points for all those submissions

External PWM rule has final confirmation. We are left with the option to, as a community, enforce video verification to have everyone feel good about the final outcome of the result. What Der8auer suggested in the staff forum seems like a good idea. Essentially, take a video of the following - end of the run - score - pwm area of vga All in one slick motion. Shouldn't be more than 30s. Anyone opposed?

Moved this to Rev5 subforum, and want to let you know the development backlog is back public. We took it off public viewing when developing XTU but since that's finished, we can open it up again. http://bugs.hwbot.org/browse/HWBOT

Correct, All benchmarks that submit directly to HWBOT are excluded from that rule. Includes XTU, HWBOTPrime, etc. Also exempt are CPUZ based benchmarks.

No matter what voltage you set in the BIOS, anything >1.6V will be 1.6V real. Your OC sense will make you say "this CPU doesn't scale with volts".

Just noticed that most of you don't see to include the clocks for IGP Haswell results. GPU-Z is not able to read them correctly in the main GPU-Z screen because of technical restraints. But you can still get the accurate IGPclk from the sensors tab. Here's how: 1) Open GPU-Z 2) Go to Sensor tab 3) Set GPU Core Clock read to Show Highest Reading Just keep GPU-Z open while running the benchmark (shouldn't make too much of a performance impact) and you will have the real IGPclk frequency for benchmark submissions Just a hint

Just to clarify, since November 1st (link) "it is mandatory to accompany every score submission with a verification screenshot. This screenshot must suffice to the specific verification requirements of each benchmark. One exception: for CPU-Z validations, a screenshot is not necessary"

This would be the most relevant picture for us Rsnubje has about 10.3K with air cooled system. It's in the ballpark. I wonder if the 4770R part is overclockable too.

Old are okay too.

Yes. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-4770R.html Introduction date June 2, 2013 (launch) June 4, 2013 (announcement)

I don't care for rumours and even less for the people spreading them. But I guess that's how things go in life. But I am quite disappointed that people would think that I or HWBOT would invent this rule. Then again, it is nearly impossible to defend or disprove any rumours started on the internet. Especially if people prefer to listen to noise-makers. Anyway, if anyone would ever ask me, I am in clear with my conscience on everything I do for overclocking and to support it.

I can test it in my lab, but I don't think I have that same behavior on my system. Even if I increase via CoreCenter or XTU, the score increases normally. But I'll test it out anyway. 372 points is extremely low even for stock. Haswell should do around 850pts stock with default turbo and high frequency memory. Seems like your installation is broken somehow.

Yeah. Higher voltage, lower margin? 3V Vccin is deadly dangerous (read: could insta-kill), so anything close to that is near deadly dangerous. The Vccin is powering the fiVR (fully integrated VR), which powers the cores, cache, io, imc, ring. You can increase Vccin to have more current when overclocking. Intel spec says Vcore +0.6V is enough to provide all the current needed for regular benching (so not suicide shots). I didn't see much (if any) difference between 2.3V and 2.6V when running 1.8V vcore at load 4c8t. What are you guys seeing? What boards are you guy killing CPUs on? So how many CPUs have you killed so far by installing the OS or simply increasing the multiplier at safe voltage?
