SSDs i use for benchmarking are 60GB and I won't be able to install any modern game (>100GB size) to bench:) PS. There is also a problem with game versions - usually bug/performance fixes during the lifespan of the game affect performance a lot. It is completely different to 3DMark benchmarks in that aspect. Take EVE online as an example - it is still EVE after 17 years yet very different game if you compare 2003 vs 2020 (or 2022?).

1% is still too much. Do you? I'm quite sure you won't catch me if I start cheating. I'm nowhere close to be hardcore gamer yet I was playing Asphalt8 for a couple of years - rankings in one of the most popular games were full of cheaters. Even online events had lots of those. I think that most AAA titles with online functionality (so that they offer human vs human competition) also implement quite serious protection against cheating - auto aim, trainers etc and still they have a lot of such issues. And those protections also make things more complex for usual gamers, so why hwbot shouldn't implement the same protection for its 15y heritage?

Simplicity in general is also simplicity to cheat and take high spots. HWBOT was and is database of results in different benchmarks. Making simple validation will ruin the validity of this database - people are people and cheaters will exploit that simplicity to gain top rankings. Look at Aquamark - first only screenshot of am3 window was required, then screenshot in am3 pasted into paint plus cpuz/gpuz, then wrapper - just because there were too many cheaters using simplicity of early validation rules.

I also thought OC is out of interest for most young folks in my country until I recently joined local HW channel in Telegram - people do overclocking with their setups, test 'em in games and discuss interesting modding projects. The thing is HWBOT is not interesting for them. Interest in OC doesn't mean participation in hwbot. Casual overclocking/benchmarking is alive, hwbot should just find the way to invlove these people into community.

Was it just ucode update? I tried to do it myself with no success - either wrong version of MMTool or ucodes. -

Checked with Ground, it was bios from ObscureParadox not working correctly in pifast for older cpu. -

Not sure if it was you or Ground to share L3014-aware bios with me but it was insta-fail in pifast (and only pifast) with stock cpu (cel 430?), those custom bioses are dangerous sometimes - I reinstalled system twice, downloaded pifast 20 timed and thought board is getting semi-dead)
