  1. Hope you dont mind a free bumb, but I remember that one, its a beast!
  2. Rules doesnt say anything about motherboard, just that you need to use a socket 478 CPU, so Im just waiting on a conducting pen to try it out with a adapter atleast
  3. The math for a single transistor is simple atleast, power consumption is linear as a function of frequency and squared for voltage if you dont take other effects into calculation. A GPU sure is more advanced then a single transistor so it wont be a simple square value but its no suprise that the effect of vCore wont be linear atleast
  4. Is this the defect Cascade one you bought on TS that you repaired and got working?
  5. As this memories are from the country cup, I wonder if the Soc force motherboard would also dislike singlesided memories this bad? If I understand your post right, you pretty much say, sell them as they look good on paper with high frequency but are PoS and hopefully someone that dont understand beter buys them so Marquzz can buy a pair of B-die instead?
  6. Yea Ive noticed more then a few of this wrong hardware scores when benching old hardware, mostly when it comes to placing the GPU in the wrong categori so there is indeed a reason to let the old scores still be open for reporting. This part also troubles me when it comes to old scores that lost screenshoots if they are really good, as I know Ive got other good old scores moved couse they where with the wrong hardware. For solutions, I can see two alternatives. 1) Remove the option to report a score that have already been reported and cleared by a moderator, if someone still finds something wrong let there be some forum thread for rereporting this as its a beter place to write a good post describing whats wrong with the score. 2) Make a way to remove the option to report scores for people that abuse it, not sure how to make it tho but maybe when your at below a certain % of good reports after X reports or just let the mods decide when to do it?
  7. Its not like I didnt tell him to upload yesterday evening and this morning, guess me didnt think it was a good idea to increase the competition lenght for all of sunday bite myself in the ass...
  8. That kind of makes sense, the tnt2 ultra worked good until i started OC the CPU and increased the vcore to 1.85V. It does not work on stock (1.8V) even now tho. Wierd thing is that the GF2 card works well at 1.85V all the time tho and the tnt2 works good in other motherboards. Have you tested to change caps on it as they are like 20 years old by now?
  9. Ill give up this round soon, my tnt2 ultra works flawless with all motherboards Ive tested it in except my k7 pro where it crashes in artifakts as soon as it get 3d load (worked the first 5-10 rounds or so in 3dmark99) at the same time that other cards Ive tested (two different gf2) works perfect in the k7 pro aswell, just makes no sense to me. Reinstalled OS, different directX and drivers, nothing helps with the tnt2 card.
  10. you managed to solve this? I get the exactly same problem that 44.03 just gives a gray screen in 3dmark99 and really really bad score?
  11. Really impressive efficiency there with a pluto CPU! Wonder how your faster memorys with lose timings affect it? Stuck without the +33 MHz option myself so will be interesting what I can get out of it
  12. Haha, yea its true, no deal on that one! But must say Id like one of those after seeing Infrareds ressult in 3dmark99, those thunderbirds are amazing! Wonder if he can reach 10k even?!
  13. Wow, that thunderbird sure is much beter in 3d! Nice score so far. Looks like 9k wasnt a problem after all
  14. Thats totaly a normal OC id say, 2V doesnt sound extreme at all for a thunderbird chip (atleast not for a socket A one..), hope you got some good scores saved before it gave up atleast @I\.nfraR\.ed, thats an amazing deal, those CPUs seems really hard to come by as they only shipped in OEM computers... I was contacted by a guy that wanted to sell one on a swedish forum, he wanted $200 for just the cpu...
  15. That sucks, any interesting mods done or just died randomly from normal OC?
  16. That I know, was a question about how rare it would be to get a thunderbird instead of a Orion when buing a random slot A 1000Mhz.
  17. anyone know how rare Thunderbirds are compared to the cpus withseparate cashe when looking at the 1ghz version? worth taking the chanse and hope to get lucky?
  18. Nice to see another one in the contest this early even if its a "placeholder" score Wonder where the winning score will land, 8k+ for sure, 9k even?
  19. http://hwbotnews.s3.amazonaws.com/Competitions/1376-1380_OldSchoolBestSchool2016/Backgrounds/OSiBS%20S2%20Wallpaper%20R1.png We got a background now
  20. Realy fun to see people post scores from day one! Just wonder where you two found the background as I still cant find it.
