A couple of tiny bugs 1) In the achievements, the green bars don't scale 2) In the hardware overview, caching might be a tad too aggressive. I've uploaded Geekbench3/4/5/6 scores and they don't show up (yet I presume). E.g: https://hwbot.org/hardware/processor/core_i7_2600k/ Yet I have e.g. this submission: https://hwbot.org/submission/5685603_ 3) Right after submitting a score (or editing), the ranking and points link don't link to the correct page Btw, I love the fact that all fields are now visible when submitting an hwbot file. Saves the trouble of having to edit the submission (or do the hacky thing which you guys fixed not so long ago).

It's a refreshing new look, it'll take a while to get used to though . Would be great if things were a bit more condensed, it'll probably look great on a 1440p or higher screen but for 1080p the paddings are way too big imho. Small bug I found, on a profile page, when you search for submissions, you'll get a 400 error

If you're really starting from scratch I'd suggest to have a look at skatterbenchers video's: https://www.youtube.com/@SkatterBencher/search?query=7900x What I'd do in your case is tuning the CPU with PBO and make sure that XMP/EXPO is enabled in the BIOS so your RAM runs at the advertised speeds If the GPU is already cooking then I wouldn't even bother overclocking it. Depending on your case you may be able to add a fan in the front or side to help cooling your GPU. You may also want to look into replacing your old fans, Noctua's are expensive but are generally very efficient. Just as a general reminder, going overboard with voltages can and will kill hardware. So if you're not sure, don't touch any voltages in the BIOS

Can you remove this one from the competition ? https://hwbot.org/submission/5676157_wutske_pifast_fx_6300_26sec_700ms?recalculate=true Forgot to change the wallpaper 😒

Yes, Zen4's sweetspot is somewhere around 6000MTs. To get 8000MTs on Zen4 you'll need to run in 2:1 mode which might actually cause more harm than what you think to gain with 8000MTs. You may get marginally better speeds with a CL30 or CL28 kit though, but you'll have to see what's available and in budget of course About the M-die thingy, SK Hynix is one of the memory chip manufacturers (Samsung is another one) and SK makes M-die and A-die chips. Both are incredibly good chips since they can reach high frequencies at low latencies. However, when buying memory kits, it's not always clear what chips you'll get. Sometimes you can guess whether it's A-die or M-die based on the timings, but that's more Buildzoids thing.

All links seem to be dead ? 🥲

This, the 7800X3D out of the box is pretty much to most efficient gaming CPU you can get right now (both price and power consumption. It's doesn't produce a lot of heat, so a 360 AIO will keep it nice and cool, but something like a Noctua NH-D15 or a Thermalright Peerless Assassin will also work perfectly. Pair it with some low latency DDR5-6000 to get the best out of it, higher frequencies usually don't offer too much benefit on AM5. As for overclocking, a 7800X3D is locked down, you may optimize the curves a bit to get better performance out of it, but don't expect too much margin. You're more likely to get some gains out of overclocking the GPU, but even then I wouldn't expect anything near a 10% gain.

I haven't followed it all in detail, but considering that a 5800X3D chip is considered a drop-in replacement for a 2000-series, I think that if you're patient enough, you'll get the BIOS update you need (unless you go for some shady China-only motherboard from Ali). The past doesn't always define the future, but I have a couple of old Gigabyte motherboards and they are rock solid. My older MSI's are bit more wonky, I had on with a dual BIOS that failed because ... both BIOS'es died (and they had already been replaced in the past). That and another MSI board are horrible when it comes to recovering from a failed overclock. That said, I can't really seem to find anything significant about an AVX bug on Gigabyte boards. Got any links ?

I have no experience with the Asus support but aren't people's view of support a bit skewed due to the handling of the VSoc issue on X3D chips ? You should also ask yourself how important it is that they are not last for adding new CPU's. How often are you going to switch to a new CPU ? As for the memory, B-die is the way to go, Samsungs are to be avoided. However, most manufacturers now know the value of B-die's so you'll have to pay a good surplus. There's this github but it's pretty outdated: https://benzhaomin.github.io/bdiefinder/, but as usual it can be a lottery (e.g. Corsair switches chips with every version of their sticks). If you have about an hour of spare time -> Other than that, expect pain and suffering when you want to memory train 64GB, it'll take a while.

Will there also be a manual version of the beta available ? //edit: Damn I'm not awake yet

Yay, no more me breaking geekbench scores 😁

Wanted to say the same thing; make sure they share the same ground connection, the last thing you want is killing your GPU because ground potential differences are putting negative voltages on your GPU. Also make sure you put them on the same circuit to be safe, you don't want your PSU to run out of phase of each other.

It took me couple times reading it, but it's fairly well explained in the documentation: https://hwbot.org/hWBoints If you want to know which benchmarks give you global points, then you can head over here: https://hwbot.org/benchmarks/ . Only benchmarks with points in the global points column will give you global points.
