FYI, I've posted the clarification online: http://hwbot.org/article/news/clarification_regarding_unreleased_technology_and_hwboints Retail availability is such a vague criterium that it's nearly impossible to use it for any solid HWBoints restriction.

CL7 looks a bit disappointing?

Haha ... It's tomorrow But thanks!

Current rules actually state an "NDA"-specific limitation: "as of the 1st of October (2009) unreleased technology, which is in other words still under NDA, will no longer be applicable for points but will be given a “no-boints” status" There's nothing about "retail". The TWKR is no longer under any form of NDA, so is conform the rules. But more on this in the article

Product is released, only not on the market for purchase. Technology is released a long time ago. For cherry picked hardware, we leave the choice upto the user. You can tick the box or not, we don't force anyone to do anything. FYI, we'll be posting an explanation about the "unreleased hardware"-rule shortly because it seems a lot of people are confused about it.

The first result is a complete mystery for me ... there's no reason why the score should turn up there ... I'll keep looking :-/ The second is an issue we've noticed recently. The change in code had an effect on the way score are ranked, in particular how nda-hardware scores affect the boints. The issue is not that easy to solve, so we're looking for work-around alternatives at the moment.

What type of Ti4600 you have? A normal reference PCB? My secret mainboard cannot be used ... it's shipped with the wrong bios :-/

Problem solved.

Both excellent questions. Let me have a look at it ...

Fixed

1) Fixed score 2) When selecting used hardware, type in a part of the hardware and then CLICK on the right hardware 3) SuperPI validation is now on techpowerup http://www.techpowerup.com/superpi/

0.001%? It must be brand biased!

Should be fixed now

With a bit of luck I can pass 1050/1150 on air through 3DMark01 Nature

English please

Wprime 1.55 is mandatory for HWBOT

Looking good, Niko. I've noticed that Wprime 1024M scales roughly 1s per BCLK here ~ 1s per 26MHz.

To repeat myself: Wprime shows "boot BCLK x stock multiplier", or in this case: "230x25". I force the turbo multiplier in the bios (26x) and increase BCLK frequency using the MSI OC Big Bang Dashboard. Wprime doesn't report that frequency though.

I have explained this in the other Wprime you reported as cheat. Before you continue to complain, I'd suggest you change back from 3 hwbot accounts to 1

No one is blocking scores because it's ES cpus.

Clarkdale should be getting somewhere else than 95k ... I did that score with an early bios, so memory performance wasn't great then. I think I'll fire up a Gigabyte board when Hicookie launches the coldbug modifications for the Gigabyte boards. Lynnfield is just CPC inferior to bloomfield, almost no way to get around that. Clocks are lower as well, uncore is not good ... maybe the memory frequency would do the LL some good ... i don't know.

Pretesting for 3Dmark01

Sorry, temps are -162°C

Temps actually around -160°C
