Brian y.

that time is amazing. Congrats:)

holy shit!!! Hiwa...NICE WORK!!

I have had that issue in the past but it was in relation to my IMC bugging out under cold.....I take it this happening to you under normal temps too?

I didn't know Vince opened up a EU distribution center...

it was winnie7.......was at the end of a 3d benching session. Need to give it a try on XP.

I love it, one horrible 32M bencher calling out another bad 32M run....priceless:battle: nice one Mr. "3GHz uncore":rolleyes:

you bring up quite an interesting point as I have been wondering that myself.....

IMO you guys should keep things the way they are. Yes, while under the current situation in regards to how the top spots are being held can be very overwhelming, BUT this is suppose to be the league where the best show up to. As to whether someone decides to tick that little box if it is warranted that is solely up to them. I just can't understand how two leagues will make any difference or make anyone "feel" any better. I mean what is the point of being #1 in a AM league?How many OCers actually are truly "sponsored"(receive actual binned HW) anyways? I am honestly sick of hearing about that dam word as it gets thrown around as much as the dreaded "WR" B-S that has taken over in recent months. Being involved in enduser support does not make you sponsored. Beta BIOS testing a mobo/reviewing a kit of ram/etc does not evolve automatically into Top Ten standings. Benching is not just pour and click like some like to believe. I can't tell you how many times I have seen gem hw that was not utilized to it's full potential by previous owners. In all honesty unless those scores that are at the top of the bot are the only thing between you and #1 in the league it should not be worried about it. In actuality the very Ocer's that are in that position have not said a word...they just continue to compete. That is what separates the great ones from the rest. They all had to work their asses off to get where they are. We would see much more intense battles if more people would worry more about the strategy of how they are going to over take the OCer that is right above them and less about the few at the top that have earned their way there(I mean we were ALL OC noobs at one point, no?) yeah I understand peoples points of the super binning/sponsored/endless funds that are a part of this hobby but the best way to to deal with it IMO is just show what you can do and prove you have skills with what you got. Get the respect. The rest will follow. My two cents

Way to go Andre:)

While I agree with this to an extent IMO the one who submits these "manufacture" results should of taken the responsibility in regards to checking the "do not participate" box. They are the valid current WR's at the moment and they deserve to be on hwbot as these scores had to be produced(earned) and they are awesome in every right, but there is no reason why they should of affected the point system. IMO splitting up the league is not the answer here. In the end the league(s) itself will only be as good as the members that participate in it. Unfortunately this is the one variable that in the end will dictate to the overall success/failure of the league IMO.

Congrats!

just showing enough to pass you;)

very nice clocks.......

are you serious? AM I actually reading this right?? Please tell me this a bad joke man.....

that is exactly what fixed it:woot:

now that is some real benching there man:) Nice work!

I have both the 1.51 regular and extreme version and the card does not respond to either one:( *update Playing around with the .cfg file has now the voltage changes showing up in afterburner but not reflecting on the card with a DMM. I know it is working as with stock volts it crashes with a core over 950 but with 1.35v set it passes nature in 03 at 1030/1350.......soooo I guess it works just very confused how the DMM shows 1.16v but the card is passes 03 at these clocks....

i flashed the bios massman gave and i am still having the issue of the voltages not being reflected. are there cards that just wont work with afterburner at all(i have heard this as a rumor)?

why so conservative with the memory clocks massman?

nice QPI there!

very nice Smoke. Huge congrats:D Love seeing the reference cards pwning the big boys in vantage

I don't recall this 975 coming from a manufacture. IIRC Stuwie said that he found this through retail channels.......please tell me this was not hand picked by a manufacture:(

Are there any limitations/exceptions when submitting unreleased hardware for points? For example I understand that CPU's/GPU's are off limits as far a points are concerned but what about using HDD's that are not sold for retail yet or a motherboard for instance? Is utilizing ram that is not yet available on the market acceptable when ticking that little box at the bottom of your submission entry? Reading below the rules that were written I personally would say it is safe to assume that this means all technology.... I am assuming that I am correct but would to to make sure that I am indeed reading this properly and get an idea of where HWBOT stands exactly on this matter.

RIIIE FTW!! love he heatsink;)

thanks man:)
