Received the coldslow BIOS, so flashed quickly and tested again. This BIOS is actually for the 560 ti Twin Frozr, but works perfectly on the Hawk too .

Small bug, should be fixed soon.

I think your 3DMark01-teacher from high school would be very upset when he saw you write this ...

Yes, go ahead. That's what the test server is for

CPU-Z poll: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25917

With REV4, HWBOT will be able to separate global points and hardware points for benchmarks. Unlike today, where a benchmark application either receives both global and hardware or no points at all, we'll be able to give benchmarks global, hardware, both or none. The plan was to set CPU-Z to 'hardware points' status when Rev4 launched. As there has been quite some complaints about this, we've revised this and re-enabled global points for now. The question still remains: should CPU-Z receive global points or not? Your vote! Like always, voting is public.

No, just mainly for the team captains/leaders as those are the ones motivating the members (I think). It will be part of the team's public profile and is going to be pretty much what you have today under the points section of a team profile page, but needs more finetuning because there are more aspects to team points nowadays. In other words, we need a breakdown for powerteam (global, hardware) and user (global, hardware) contribution to the team total. API is planned, but won't be in the R4 release. Maybe 4.1; probably 4.2 or so.

Because local changes on UAT are not stored permanently. Just like changes to your submissions (eg: deleting or adding scores) won't be saved, changing your league won't change either.

We're currently trying to work out an easy system that allows Team Captains to quickly analyse the team points total. Work in progress .

Some pictures of the finetuning based on the feedback we received. - improved member result table - more clear distinction between global, hardware and wr points in table - user points tab now showing 15 global and 20 hardware that contribute to personal score - region/country filters for user leagues now work - improved benchmark/hardware ranking table

Apparently, this song is SO true that the Finnish people said this must be broadcast to millions of people. I'm honored ... first song about me!

Pretty much all Phenom II will run Helium. Yes, even retail.

It's processing.

Well that was quick ... this session took around 45 minutes before closing down again. SETUP: - Core i7 990X - SF3D Inflection Point (keep CPU temp ~ 20°C) - GIGABYTE X58A-OC - 2x 2GB ADATA "no, not hyper" XPG+ series - MSI GTX 560 Ti Hawk - Ryba Fat Pot - Coolermaster 1000W PSU SETTINGS: - 1.45V Vgpu - 1.67V Vmem - 1350MHz core at -70°C - 1300MHz memory (1350 at 1.8V) - Coldslow at -73°C - "all out of slider!" [hwbot=2168176]submission[/hwbot] PICTURES AND VIDEO: Only a retarded 3DMark11 screen. Who cares running other benchmarks if there's a coldslow, right! Uploaded some video to Youtube as well, but since there are no youtube tags here you'll have to check out the HWBOT submission. More once the good BIOS arrives.

That picture is very nice! Hand of God

Ask your AMD spycci if this pot might be useful in the future again ...

Thanks all. Just added feedback to our 'to-do'-list. Keep giving feedback! That is a legitimate complaint/question. Added this to the R4 backlog to re-evaluate the decision to require pictures for the Enthusiast League.

Hardware Library extentions are for R4.1. What you asked for was already planned (see original R4 documents).

I see that the hardware/global points for applications have been enabled/disabled on our own test server (with limited amount of results). So, when the next UAT build is final, the changes should be applied. Yes, let's hold a poll: "Do you want more points?".

Yeah. Imagina what would happen if those ES samples were being sold on Ebay!!

Related to this ES debate, I would also pose the question: Why is Intel sending ES samples to media? The famous Dr.Who said a few days before the launch of Sandy Bridge that we shouldn't be looking at the early leaks because they weren't showing the performance of retail silicon. The more I wonder why Intel is not providing the media with retail silicon. And if the silicon of the ES media samples is the same like retail silicon, why would they claim the performance in early leaks are not reflecting retail performance. Extremely Shady business

There were rumours that the 'A' samples were better than the 'C' samples. Like Gappo said ... hard to tell.

AMD usually has media samples with a different stepping. If the first letter is 'A', it's a media sample ~ AACDC. It shows as retail in CPU-Z. Intel is marking their media samples with (ES) through microcode.

The debate is not 'ES' it's 'binning'.

*yawn* Sandy Bridge.
