OC lab kit 15 sold.

GOC 2016 kit 1 sold! Price drop for GOC kit 2 to 200€

Hi Selling some good Galax B-die. One kit form the original OC-lab binning, strong kit, number 15 out of the 100. And two kits I got in the Galax Finals, special GOC 2016 version. I really hate 32M and wazza and have no time to bin the mems for wazza capability. So I used 3D11 Physics for binning since it’s faster and provides more “real world†data (as in you can run pretty much any benchmark except 32M). Here’s my data for 12-11-11-28-1T: OC-lab Kit 15: Max 4180MHz at 2.03V https://pb380-my.sharepoint.com/personal/t_bergstrom_pob_se/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?guestaccesstoken=1d8aDGQ8fvxD%2f7uOjx1dEKy5UrLEWk1zQ5xi%2blDf3H4%3d&docid=0d1d9c77dd6fb4dd9a2426e7f9b965068&rev=1 GOC 2016 kit 1: Max 4133MHz at 2.04V (Forgot to screen this but it's the same as the one below except 2.04V) GOC 2016 kit 2: Max 4133MHz at 2.03V https://pb380-my.sharepoint.com/personal/t_bergstrom_pob_se/_layouts/15/guestaccess.aspx?guestaccesstoken=f525GYEjAC22%2fgLVJ1yv4xDODFjdXM9OlAEPSET3B7w%3d&docid=0d663bb903ccc4c4a9fd6a44b630533e0&rev=1 All air binning of course! Binning was done on Impact with tight subs, check screens. Prizes (paypal as friend): (OC-lab kit 15: 250€) - SOLD! (GOC 2016 kit 1: 225€) - SOLD! GOC 2016 kit 2: 200€ Shipping will be around 15€

Seems like an amazing board! And awesome results!

300€

Bump, will keep 6700k for daily system, or if someone wants it for 500€ it's yours. Great 4770k, mems and motherboards are still available.

That CPU! lol, insane!

I may come across as negative as I speek out when I see something unfair or stupid. Also when I see potential to improve. I see you have not removed aerotracks from your little list. Also that your own name is not on it...hypocrite much? And there is a difference in buying retail from store and being handed a retail from your vendor who is under NDA. We are not stupid here, if you bought your "retail" from a store I'll eat my hat. Guess what, I had retail BW-E before launch, but I did not post scores with it. The only reason to do that would be... Oh right, for a few clicks and a few minutes of fame. The same as you have been bashing on here...and then you do the same. Now who's to shame here really?

Lol at creating this thread and then jumping the gun as soon as you get "permission". And all to earn a few clicks and points that will last for a couple days. Def. no shame in that...

You seriously think that intel cares about individuals (who have not signed any nda) at this point? Come on...

Yes, of course it's disrespectful to actually use something you buy from a store. What was I thinking...

Really, you put aerotracks on a shame list because he bought a retail chip from a store and used it. This thread is rediculous and should be deleted. Is this what xoc has transformed into, making shame lists?

It's easier to sell sand in the saharas than binned skylakes nowadays

So we're trying to control or influence media now? Seems a little north korean to me. It is the medias job to publish information without regard of what big companies, governments etc think of it. And intel pursuing nda breakers? May be true to some extent but they cant go after media. Most countries have laws that prohibit even asking for the source of any news article, much less investigate. I also doubt the repercussions for vendors. It's not like intel hands out ES just to be nice. It's of course a win win situation. People want asus, gigabyte etc MB:s and intel don't want their product to malfunction due to bad MB:s. If there is an issue it's most likely that both intel and vendors hand out ES too carelessly. One thing I noticed at skylake launch was the number of "inactive" OCers who had access to ES. If you are a more or less retired overclocker do you really care about vendor relations? It is what it is and it's the time of wikileaks etc now. Harder to keep a secret... And I doubt posting on hwbot will change the world.

Bump Price drop for whole Z97 setup: 500€, now including both MB:s

Nice run!

Prizes are a big surprise, I would have thought prize money had been budgeted from the start of this series... especially considering that qualifiers had prize money... I regret spending time and cash on the wild card qualifier. Dancop really was the winner in that one, he won first prize in the finals without having to go to Berlin. Wild card was nothing but a scam. And we even had to pay for it. When did hwbot know or suspect there would be no sponsoring for the finals? My thoughts of the finals: an unfair competition where the skill of the competitors vary alot and the prizes for the grand final are not so grand at all. To me it is more of a marketing ploy than a "world championship". The sad thing is that it is not even a marketing ploy since no one is even willing to sponsor it. There are two yearly competitions worthy of calling themselves "world championship", and hwbot world tour is not one of them... As far as I know hwbot is planning on another world tour next year? If so I would like to see two major changes or you can scrap it: - Find a way to make sure level of competition is strong in every qualifier. - Finalize the grand final prize before the first qualifier. And finalize qualifier prizes well in time for each qualifier.

Interesting, I have never seen bugged geekbench scores before.

Hi I think multi core memory score would be better. Singe core scales strangely and favours 4dimm T-topology boards too much.

Hi With this years country cup being of no interest to us Swedish overclockers I have decided to sell my golden 4770K and matching mems and MB's. But don't know what a reasonable prize would be... CPU: 4770K - 6700MHz+ SPI 1M 3rd place, Rauf`s SuperPi - 1M score: 5sec 250ms with a Core i7 4770K 3Dmark01 - 6550MHz+ (result done when I was a noob and before delid) I have done a 1393 run (third place) in CB R15 at 6300MHz, but overpoured and got CB before screen. This was also before delid and when I was a noob obviously... MEMs: 2x4GB samsungs (Dominators 2400C9). Does 32M at 2890MHz 9-12-12 with tight subs and tight RTL. Boards: Z97 OCF, or Gigabyte Z97 Soc Force What would a reasonable prize be for CPU, mems and one of the boards?

No need to get upset, it's just a discussion. I'm not saying you're cheating or something. Maybe saying it's "obviously bugged" was a too strong statement, sorry for that. But still, there is a reason you checked the score with FM right? As far as I know the Fire Strikes were designed to be "non tweakable" and measure "pure performance". Of course we bypass this by LOD/tesselation etc. But FS it's not like legacy benching. The thing that makes me wonder is that your score is not consistent across the tests, and not consistent with your Time Spy result. If it truly had been "all about mem", or to find some combination of temps/core/mem/volts to make the card perform better you would do better in GT1 and combined also, and in Time Spy. Of course the different subtests can scale differently, but your scaling in GT2 is a bit extreme in my opinion. With that being said, of course there could be other explanations than bugged score... When I ran for wild card qualifier I got a few bugged scores when pushing mem really high on RX460. Once I got almost 50% higher in combined for example. You would not call this bugged? Where do you draw the line, 5%, 10%, 50%??? When I have just seen these types of bugged scores, of course it makes me wonder... Also, we have this from last year's qualifier: https://community.futuremark.com/forum/showthread.php?183665-GALAX-GOC-2015-WORLDWIDE-QUALIFIER&p=1881070&viewfull=1#post1881070 Aranha got some scores removed, due to too high GT2 results. Those scores would have taken him to the finals... Maybe you can understand my point of view a little better? I'm not trashing the score, I'm discussing it. If it actually were possible to get bugged scores, would it be good to find that out?

Thanks!

I see only one other person with high GT2... but I agree it is very hard to tell for sure. Would require access to FM tools to look at frame rates through out the test. Last year FM removed a couple scores because of "bugged runs". But then again, that might not work either cause you can have consistent bugged frames through one of the subtests. Only possible explanation I see would be a specific LOD which is exceptionally good for GT2, but bad for GT1 and combined... I'll leave this be now! steponz, hope you understand this is nothing personal, I know you are a great 3D-bencher and seem like a really nice guy. Maybe there is some other tweak I just don't know... I'm just sick of bugged benchmarks, cheatable benchmarks (32M) etc... Is there any benchmark we can trust?

core and mem are exactly same freq in those runs. What differs is mostly cpu score. And diff in both GT1 and GT2 is within margin of error when benching on LN2. At 2835 core and 2650 mem i got 9493 GPU score At 2835 core and 2629 mem i got 9466 GPU score At 2835 core and 2600 mem i got 9430 GPU score This score is 2695/2727 and 9728 GPU score (with GT1 being much slower). It just doesn't make sense. You telling me it is a valid strategy to aim for bugged scores? I think I still have a bugged score with RX460 I can show...
