Maybe Intel doesn't expect their Ivy Bridge can clock THAT well under cold?

Question : Will the benchmark and hardware limitation be the same across all qualifier? Thanks

Niiiiice, Looking forward for that 'anti-sandbagger algorithm' to be implemented

Woooooohooooooo the GREEN monster is STRONG!! Congrats Vince!

Instead of posting whether I was against or not against it, allow me to point out my concerns regarding this Virtu MvP : - A benchmark have certain sets of data/frame to be rendered. By my understanding, the benchmark can be considered valid if only those certain sets of data is not reduced in any way. * yes, I wasn't agree with disabling tesselation in 3DMark11 benchmark :p* I don't know how exactly this Virtu MvP was implemented, but if the algorithm somewhat 'reduced' the benchmark data/frame, then the result obtained using Virtu MvP can be considered invalid. But then again, if the increased frame-rate is caused by the IGP somehow 'helping' to render the frame, and the benchmark data was NOT reduced, I can agree with this. Just my 2 cents

This is LEGEN..-wait for it-..DARY !! Congrats for the win Dude

Yikes ! Those 7970s is a BEAST!

It's done at last :D Congrats to the winner Poland :celebration:, the runner-up Greece :celebration: and all other countries who have participated , you all did very well :ws: @ leeghoofd : We got lucky at the PCMark 7 stage : figured out the Virtu tweak by coincidence(my friend MaVeRCK tried to run PCM7 at his h67 igp setup and the video transcode boosted up fiercely), The point is, use Z68 system with Virtu custom profile for 2 executive file in transcoding test. (MFPlayback and something with XCode, i don't remember clearly) And the other tweak was : - RAM Caching using FancyCache software : I Guess the Canadians figured this out very early in the game. Using this software, even single SSD setup can get very high storage setup. - Using Win8 + Core Parking Disable : boosted up transcode , we learn this from the Greeks - IE Appearance tweaks : small font, no show pics/animation/sound, etc. Boosted up quite a bit. (Dunno what Team Greece done with their early setup with 90p/s, which gave me headache for 48 hours++ x.x ) - Force the Imaging executive file (WIC.exe ?) to be run under 640x480 res and force 256 Color, got a small gain in Image Manipulation. I think that's all for our tweaks * at least we didn't waste 3 days++ for nothing * Happy New Year Everyone ! :celebration:

Wow....Poland on Fire!!! * bow *

Dunno mate, maybe low CPU freq and NB? My CPU won't even manage another 100Mhz..no matter what volts I gave. I guess This is what I get for doing everything in the last minute, daaaaym

No mate, just now I had to stop my amd 3dm11 setup (board failed) with a score which is way lower than my expectation...(lower than yesterday session anyway) And I still need to setup my Gulftown LN2 run in PCMark 7, and score a memory clock... So, no, i'm NOT sandbagging

Agree here Maybe give the hardware limitation and/or rules around 2 months before competition? (if possible) And some minor request : Could you make it so that the next year competition is over before Xmas? Anyway, we had fun here (except the PCMark stage, 48 hours straight with no result at all LOL :D )

NICE! Combine this with 'that' tweak, and probably you can hit over 9000 Mark (no,really...over 9000 LOL) Keep pushing !!

Hello, I just want to confirm, is it okay to submit scores with SystemInfo disabled? My Win8 setup cannot get to run unless i unchecked the SysInfo. Thanks,

Wow, only less than 72 hours left in this competition, It's been weeks since me and my friends decided to enter this country cup, and ever since november 19th all we do is bench,bench, and bench non-stop, even during our busy days in the office. (luckily our boss don't mind )It's been fun really, searching for old hardware in our warehouse,benching with friends,not sleeping at all waiting for the deadline to submit, and all that :D I'd also point out that it's been an honor for us to compete with the top guys here at Hwbot : Team Poland (Ryba n Friends), Team Greece, Team Belgium, Team Bulgaria, Team Russia, Team Canada,Team US, France, and so many more For the last 3 stages, I don't know how things will work out for our team in Indonesia, the hardware and LN2 is ready for our last runs, but i guess after the xmas holiday, our benching mood was somehow 'lost' , we're still going to try our best though So, see you guys in the finish line 3 days from now, may the best country win ;) Regards,

Ahahahahah ROFL :D 9gaggers anyone?

Hmm...now motivation up to 140% :D

The same goes to you mate, Really glad to be able to compete with you in this event, hope to see you again in the next oc event ()v Regards,

Now that I've looked into your submission, your run does have greater efficiency compared to my friends' setup, If you managed another 40 -50Mhz or so you probably beat his score. Maybe it's time for you to step up your cooling mate? You're surely will get much better clocks under extreme cooling :) Regards,

Hello, Since the competition is now ended, I will tell how to I get x8 multiplier using some software, as promised. - Download a program named ThrottleStop 4.00 - run it - click 'turn on' - set 'clock modulation' to 12.5% - if all is correct, Your CPU now has x8 multi Hope it helps

@ BlackBird : I already explained the software trick to massman via pm, I also will share how to do this after the competition is over Regards,

Nice BCLK! ()b

Udahhhh cari EVGA SR-2 gih....nyosss loh *hihihihihihihiy*

Server euy.......Imba kk d()b

Wow, NICE setup there bro! Keep Pushing it!! ()b
