GT210 has coldslow issues around -20°C. Yes, i tested it.

Awesome score!

Nice!

Currently there's no 'easy' way to create a new team. The way to do it is: - set current team to -no team-: http://hwbot.org/profile.account.do - go back to the same page and now you should see a link to create a new team .

HOOOOOOOOOOOly MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOly

Good luck in the live finals!

It's like asking the owner of a Veyron: "What, no nitro in the car?"

No it won't. - We can't separate the ES VGA from the retail VGA based on screenshots or software - We rely on the goodwill of manufacturers to not mess around in bios microcode - We rely on the hope that CPU-Z will always be able to detect ES samples I mean ... hasn't it been proven more than once that MFCs are more than capable of covering up ES hardware? Why go for a solution that will just give us an equal amount of shit. The clock frequency would obviously not be set to hurt 1/2 of the overclocking population. It's meant to keep people from submitting 5.5GHz 980X Wprime1024M on 'air cooling' as well as to keep the league just low-profile. It's not designed to be one huge low-clock challenge.

The will be released soon. They are going be be sold under the name "Ultra Durable Expander".

You do realize that turbo mode is 'just' an extra multiplier, right?

"Error in computation" means that the benchmark didn't run sucessfully. No discussion

Oh! Very nice clocks and matching time ... impressive!

How can we ban turbo mode ... this is an overclocking website

More, more, more always ends in most. I have yet to hear solutions that are easy to implent, not stressing for the overclockers and secure the benchmarks by a great factor. You're basically saying: let's do it better. And to the question when is it better you either say "when it's better" or have no answer.

-sigh- So what you're saying is: nothing new untill everything is cheatproof. If so, I think we should ban all sports.

Part of the problem is the golden samples (which basically reduce the amount of skill needed to achieve a certain result). By not allowing golden samples, or luck, to give you a mass of points, we increase the amount of skill necessary. The enthusiast league will not be the main feature of the site, it will be a side-ranking for the beginning overclockers to get used to the way HWBOT and the rankings/points work. The Xtreme league is where all the action is. Both global and hardware, yes.

It's a pointless argument, because we're just both explaining how we look at it. There's no absolute correct way, it's just two opinions. This can go on forever.

You can warrant anything, but the manufacturer makes the product. The manufacturer says that stock settings will give you 3.4GHz.

Oh, you're still talking about the same example. The manufacturer warrants that this CPU will be capable of running 3.4GHz, so why treat it as 2.8GHz?

Because the manufacturer says this CPU is rated to work at 2.8GHz and warrants it will be doing that for ever.

We can't, that's why we use indirect ways to control it:

If a CPU is rated to work at 3.4GHz using turbo mode ... then why should we treat is as if it were a 2.8GHz processor?
