Doing a "history project" ... does anyone know which memory was used for this run?

Doing a "history project" ... does anyone know which memory was used for this run?

Not much to say right now. I tried hard, but couldn't resist picking up an Athlon X4 845 Excavator chip to play SuperPI 32M with. Two weeks ago I went to the Guang Hua local computer market and saw it priced for ~ 2000 TWD. Next thing I remember was walking outside with a plastic back and a CPU. I just installed the system and might do some testing this weekend. If you're upgrading from Trinity, Richland or Kaveri don't forget to FIRST flash the BIOS to the latest version! Excavator is a new architecture and it seems that without BIOS flash the board simply won't boot. Just a heads up ... ... now, has anyone tried a PCIe SSD to get around the BCLK frequency wall?

Damn ... awesome

Testing with the board you got two days ago?

2nd hand or new?

Of course the board's 00 on debug. Now I need a Kaveri to flash in order to support Excavator. @flanker: I'll make my own thread later so I don't clutter yours

No ... at least not on Skylake.

Just couldn't resist

This thread makes me want to look up flight ticket prices ...

Another update! On the UAT test environment we now have a fully recalculated site with R7 in action. The site will be up like this for at least a week, so feel free to provide your feedback on the points and leagues. For now I want to keep the explanation short, but what mainly changed is: Use the "weight" parameter to significantly decrease the impact of XTU (compare XTU 4xCPU with FS 1xGPU) Reduced the minimum requirement for a benchmark ranking to hit the top points Global and Hardware Points are now based on percentage of the top score (compare FS 1xGPU #20 on UAT and PROD) The key effect of this implementation is that the difference in points between submissions will be smaller than it is now. This is because the algorithm looks at the score and not the ranking. There is a small bonus for 1st to 5th place, though. Any submission is rated on three parameters: Benchmark: (formerly WR points) how good is the score in relation to the best score in the benchmark Global: how good is the score in relation to the best score in the global ranking Hardware: how good is the score in relation to the best score in the hardware ranking The calculation of the league points is slightly adjusted as well. It is: SUM (TOP15 MAX(WR;GL) + TOP20 (HW)), this to avoid scores getting both WR and GL points contributing to the League points. In terms of feedback, what would be most useful is a review of the benchmark, global and hardware rankings as well as a review of the Leagues. Specifically comments on the point scaling would be much appreciated. Some people asked to have the maximum points revised to 100 instead of 150 - is this something most people support? What do you think about the XTU weight? Should a similar weight reduction be applied to other benchmarks as well? We are currently looking into two more R7 "possible" features: System points: ranking based on CPU subfamily and GPU Model (ie. Core i3 Skylake + GTX 960)This could address the problem that you need the most high-end CPU to be competitive in 3D benchmarks (see: i7 6950X) [*]Variable parameters for specific Leagues (ie. for Apprentice it's TOP10(GL)+TOP40(HW)) This could put the focus on HW points for beginning overclockers, putting emphasis on WR/GL for extreme and elite) SOME SCREENSHOTS Fire Strike 1xGPU UAT Fire Strike 1xGPU PROD League UAT League PROD

We don't store the files. The information of the file is extracted and stored in the database, then the file itself is removed.

Hm, I thought I fixed the image URL. Just remove /largethumb/ for the big picture

Already moved

Only people from the Novice league

@funsoul check email Added the event to the "OC event" map: http://x.hwbot.org/events/. Great to see more activity in North America!

Can't wait to see the results

Let me check if we can easily enable this.

Pro-tip: disable points and you can submit all you want. The "hardware sharing"-rule is specifically for preventing multiple users scoring points with a single system.

Of course!

Ka-blamo!

For a small project I've been researching the Holicho SuperPI 32M leaderboards. I used Web Archive to go back to October 2000 (almost 16 years ago) and browsed the results. I found an overclocker by the name of 沸騰ãã‚“ ... who turns out to be Futto-kun. Every time I do research on the "old overclocking", I'm amazed by how the Japanese community was so far ahead of its time. :ws: :ws: :ws: Here's a link to his blog where you can still find stories about LN2 cooling the Pentium 3 slot processors. Just incredible ... legend.
