I noticed, there there is GSKILL Achievements and it need 20 submissions with G.Skill memory. I use mix of G.Skill and HyperX, so by the guidelines I reported the better G.Skill in ALL my submissions. There are 16 of them, but the GSKILL memory achievement says 10 submissions only and that does not change after recalculating: http://hwbot.org/user/trodas/#Achievements But there are these 16 submissions done so far: http://hwbot.org/submission/2587091_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2587090_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2587088_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2587081_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2586398_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2586315_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2586256_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585961_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585957_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585953_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585884_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585868_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585864_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585861_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585858_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2585854_ 16. Not ten. There is some ughly bug out there!

Well, anything that helps users submit easier results from more rigs are always welcomed. Either this, or let us load more of the past submissions...

Okay, but that won't be too hard to add, will it? I mean... it just expand the tables, not breaking the old submissions, when allowing a new ones, right? Something to look for the future

Massman - thanks. But that is still not what I mainly report. There is no cry for the 1 thread slow scores The problem is, that I submited wPrime scores and there is NOT ONE SINGLE wPrime score ON THE MSI MAINBOARD PAGE THERE: http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p55a_gd55/ ...or do you or anyone for that matter, see any wPrime score (regardless of the result achieved) there? I don't, but maybe I'm blind...

I know... do we have a fun jokes thread? Then move them...?

im shopaholic

Almost exactly. I honestly did not reporting much about the "Personal Best", I'm far more concerned that these tests are NOT matched to the mainboard page itself. That I see as problem. Yet anyone can click on any of these tests and confirm that HWbot see them as made on MSI P55A-GD55 (at least this works, deep sarcasm) - but it does not SHOW them as such on the mainboard page: http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p55a_gd55/ Besides, all the screenshots are made and uploaded: ...and as far as I'm concerned, these tests are done and perfect (except they can be faster, I already squeezed by core parking OFF few fraction of sec on the 32M test (9.144 to 9.128), but overclocking will be much more helpfull there, lol).

Oh, thanks, that works then! http://hwbot.org/submission/2587081_'>http://hwbot.org/submission/2587081_ ...now only why 35sec... this is kinda slooow :-O (oh, 1 thread... changed to 4 and get 9.144 sec Much nicer!) BTW, a bug - I submited 4 wPrime results: http://hwbot.org/submission/2587081_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2587088_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2587090_ http://hwbot.org/submission/2587091_ (32/1024 and 1/4 threads) ...yet NONE of these results are shown on the MSI P55A-GD55 page: http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p55a_gd55/ Oh, come on, HWbot, what is the problem now?

Beautifull! Thanks a lot,Turrican!

Well, there is no hint that the score is removed, so it should/have to be in the maninbord. Period. As far, as the Pwds./sec go, they do steadily increase well w/o any exception. The Pwds. checked and Time have a two slight differences: 6456 6432 and 6744 6644 ...but as long, as there is no error, then why it should be a bug run? I could provide the log file from this run. Still it much more looks to me as the Cinebench FAILURE of HWbot I expericend there: http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=94442&page=4 Same stuff. Good test and it does NOT show up in the mainboard page - Cinebench test: http://hwbot.org/submission/2479951_trodas_cinebench_r11.5_core_duo_t2350_0.88_points (note correctly reported 30BB mainboard!) ...and it does NOT show up on the 30BB mainboard page tests: http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/30bb/

Todays I made a bench using UCbench 2011 on my MSI P55A-GD55 mainboard: http://hwbot.org/submission/2586398_ The MSI P55A-GD55 is correctly entered and one can see that the manboard type is properly recognized in the test. However the submission does NOT show up on the MSI P55A-GD55 page! http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p55a_gd55/ See? Not one single UCbench 2011 score! WTF!!! :mad: (not again!)

While I believe that the title and image are more that self-explaining, still I would like to mention how much easier the submission can be, when one can hit a "load more" and see all (or at least 100 of the last ones per page/one click) previous submissions to choose from. Right now we are forced to again and again retype the HW, witch in end could lead to errors and typos, etc... Please let us load more of the past submissions :ws:

BUMP for the fix. My Cinebench result is stil not there, no points for it, etc. I know it might not be the worsest bug in HWbot ever, but it is kinda disappointing to not see the result for SO SO long time there. Please...!

National and team Leagues shown in the main profile page aren't updated, while other leagues (Worldwide, Enthusiast league) are updated: http://hwbot.org/user/trodas/ The page claim 22 place in Czech republic, while it is 7th place ATM: And the main page also claims 7th place in HWC, while it is 6th place ATM: ...a little fix or "recalc" button should be IMHO in order

While submiting score to HWbot, I wanted to submit the precise configuration. That include a SSD drive as boot OS partition and old IDE PATA HDD for data 30G Corsair Nova 2 SSD 320G Seagate 16MB cache (ST3320620A) However I hit a wall. Selecting in the "Disk" section the "Amount" "2x": ...does NOT open additional drive choices, where I can enter the additional HDD, but only in the resulting score show the HDD as if I having two of these SSD drives. Same thing happen with graphic cards and RAMs. And there could be situations, when user have, for example, there different GFX cards...! That should be supported. As well, as having mixed rams - 2x G.Skill and 2x Hyper X = also impossible to enter config like this. Or do I missed something?

When I tried to run wPrime (latest version, downloaded from HWbot page) it give me error on Windows 7 & i5 CPU system: Not very descriptive either. Unexpected error? Yes, that it is. It is unrelated to overclock, so dunno, what is going on. I wonder if anyone can confirm it, that the v1.55 does not work on Windows 7 SP1 x64 Ultimate CZ. (might be related, as the Aquamakr bug was, even to the Czech version of Win7) So, do people run this wPrime v1.55 well on Win7 systems?

The board is known to HWbot: http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/p55a_gd55/ ...yet there is no current picture of it. Please add this this one from MSI website: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P55AGD55.html#hero-specification Cropped and rotated version a bit to fix the original: Original: ...if someone tell me, to what size to resize the mainboard image(s), then I gladly do it, so they aren't scalled w/o proportions, witch looks ughly.

Hmmm, that is actually great idea, I should have tried that already, lol. Stupid me... So, I bumped the Vcore to +0.204V (still far cry from +0.278V that the OC genie used) and bumped the VTT to 1.386V (last one before the color get red in the bios) - and x18 multiplier and hell, it booted right away! Whoa! 3780MHz is a bit step from 3578 ... Holly, holly... http://valid.canardpc.com/kut8p6 ...it still freeze in the test, tough

Slight and carefull first bump for some support and ideas...? Please, guys?

I got a bit more rencent CPU - i5 750 Lynnfield with somewhat decent mainboard (MSI P55A-GD55 - Intel P55 chipset socket 1156 mainboard rev. 2.1) and since I was not overclocking such CPU ever, I would like to get some tips from guys that are sucesfull and know, what these chips want and how to get them to run fastest. The basic specs of my i5 750 Lynnfield are 2.66GHz with turbo 3.2GHz, witch looks slow to me. About the overclock - well, I just at first used the OC genie, but that won't get me far (3GHz base clock, IIRC 3.4GHz turbo). First I just copied what the OC genie do, but then I get into some manual tweaking. OC genie pushed Vcore hard: Vcore +0.278V VTT - 1.314V Vdram - 1.701V I find out, that with Vcore just mere 1.112V it do 3578MHz stable: http://valid.canardpc.com/aseucr However I hit the wall with 3.6GHz cannot run stable - it always freeze, even with much higher Vcore, so the problem must be somewhere alse. Bumping the Bus speed from 210 to 215 resulting in 3663MHz, witch always freeze the machine during tests, even with lowered the memory speed to make sure, that this is NOT because of memory cannot cope with the speed, especially with tightened timings 9-9-9-18 CPU-Z validation can be made, tough: http://valid.canardpc.com/fhq0ut But it is not stable. I overheard the VTT might need a bit more "love", but I figured that I better ask fellow overclockers first Currently there is just a suxxking default intel noisy heatsink, so it is just for the testing: ... Futhermore I would like to ask about some bios settings (features of the i5, for example), witch are suggested to be disabled/enabled in order to get maximum speed. IIRC one czech testing server always disable virtualization, so that probably should be a good start. Of course disabling the Spread Spectrum to get overclocking going, but there are far more options I'm interesed about, like: Intel EIST - IMHO off, because this is not NTB that need baterry support and I want always full clock Intel C-State - IMHO off, because conserving the energy is not the speed goal C State package limit Setting - IMHO off, because I did not want any regulations C1E Support - IMHO off, because sky is the limit and I don't want any other limits there OverSpeed Protection - IMHO off, even MSI recommend that for OC (between these CPU features are in manual mentioned Hyper-Threading Function. but I did not have it in bios) Execute Bit Support - I leaved this on, but speed wise off is better, no? Set Limit CPUID MaxVal to 3 - IMHO off, because who cares about old systems when overclocking, right? Intel Virtualization Tech - IMHO off for speed? Intel VT-d - IMHO off for speed? Active Processor Cores - All - simple there, huh? Mainboard manual: http://www.mediafire.com/?4vdh50m7ta0995w - https://www.oboom.com/RL8DUVCJ And then there are the voltage settings: CPU Voltage(V) - +0.105V CPU VTT(V) - 1.314V CPU PLL Voltage(V) - Auto DRAM Voltage(V) - 1.701V DDR_VREF_CA_A(V) - Auto DDR_VREF_CA_B(V) - Auto DDR_VREF_DA_A(V) - Auto DDR_VREF_DA_B(V) - Auto PCH 1.05(V) - Auto ...any suggestions about how to break the 3.6GHz wall? And the there are the settings like: PCI Latency Timer - IMHO the smaller the better, choosen 32 as lowest value HPET - High Precision Event Timers - no idea what to set, maybe off for speed and less precision? TCG/TPM SUPPORT - Trusted Platform Module can be enabled/disabled - what is best for speed? ...and don't even get me started about the memory settings. There is 8G consisting of: 2x 2048MB DDR3 1600MHz G.Skill RipJaws 9-9-9-18 1.7V (F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL) 2x 2048MB DDR3 1600MHz Kingston HyperX 9-9-9-18 1.7V (KHX12800D3K2/4G) So far these seems stable at 860MHz (1720MHz effective) and 1.701Volts, so maybe later some possible finetuning could get handy too Current ram settings: Memory Timing - 2T (Suuuuuuxxx!) CAS - 9 tRCD - 9 tRP - 9 tRAS - 18 tRFC - 88 tWR - 12 tWTR - 6 tTRRD - 5 tRTP - 6 tFAW - 24 B2B-CAS Delay - 0 tdrRdTRd - 6 tddRdTRd - 7 tsrRdTWr - 11 tdrRdTWr - 11 tddRdTWr - 11 tsrWrTRd - 16 tdrWrTRd - 4 tddWrTRd - 4 tdrWrTWr - 7 tddWrTWr - 7 tsrRdTRd - 4 tsrWrTWr - 4 Round Trip Latency - 59 (channel 1) / 61 (channel 2) Surely something could be made faster there

I find this thread also good for posting jokes... or is there something more appropriate...? todays thiefs

Hope you guys like the fun. I was amazed that it worked at all. Win2k did NOT seems to be even registred as OS by the CPU/mainboard. How do I know it? Because after that, I tried WinXP and the install crash/hang. Same Win7. And then I come to realize, that the turbo multiplier kick in and really I was forcing the poor i5 to run on stock air cooler at 4.2GHz, witch it cannot take. Surprise! So for now, this turbo is disabled and I will controll the clocks from now on: On WinXP SP3 (32bit) all the cores are present and utilized, so that is a step forward. About the ram = same story. 3.3G top. Still, looking at FurMark bench from 177 to 304fps is kinda awesome ... Next step... Windows 98se? )) Nah, that would be too insane. But it was fun...

Well, I dubt many people do it, but ... it is fun! How did that happend? Well, the build was used to run the Sapphire A9RX480 mainboard (Opteron 148), so I just swapped the mainboard for MSI P55A-GD55 - Intel P55 chipset, socket 1156 mainboard rev. 2.1 and when the Windows tried to boot, it failed and reset come each time. Then I just disabled the Spread Spectrum (recommended for better O/C setting) and tried some Memtest and suddently the machine started booting into Windows 2000 SP4 Czech...! I was in shock, but these old Winblows booted up and started installing things to run...! It took many, many and many reboots till it install all it could and give me a mouse (USB mouse using for 1st time) ... but it works! I could not believe it, but it does work: Sure, it disable the additional cores, effectively turning 4 core CPU into 1 core, but still... with Opteron 148 I get the SuperPi 1M test in about 39.7sec, now it took just 13.5sec The graphic card is not installed yet, using a MSI GTX 210 as passive low-end testing card first. So there is a proof, that Windows 2000 SP4 can work on MSI P55A-GD55 Not well (single core) and probably the 8G ram will be somewhat inaccesible, yet still it works. About the overclock - well, I just pressed the OC genie, hit 2x the + button and suddently from 2.66GHz I got a 3GHz i5 750. So even the most lame users can do some overclock with this toy What I find most surprising is, that I managed the USB to work. I mean... come on. This is Windows 2000 and the mainboard have Intel P55 chipset, that was way more recent... that this piece of software. Yet still - mice work and USB data transfer too. What does not work are 8G of ram: 3 398 708kBy only. Mind my slightly modified Windows :-) I do that for fun This screenshot was taken using the eVGA GTX 660 Superclocked card, witch itself have 2G of videoram, witch probably pose a challenge to Win2k itself alone, lol. Overclocking Did not I promised some? Yea, there it is - when I just copied what the OC genie do, but this time I get into some manual tweaking and - 3.2GHz is not a problem: http://valid.canardpc.com/x8z9z2'>http://valid.canardpc.com/x8z9z2 Not enought? Okay, I push a bit more that 3.4GHz is stable too: http://valid.canardpc.com/x8z9z2 There is probably not much Win2k results on i5, lol. Never the less, the overclocking of this mainboard is straight-forward and w/o any troubles at all. Only problem I hit, when I forget to lower the ram dividers and tried to force the rams to crazy speeds the chips cannot take. Now they are running at their 800MHz (1600 effective) as they should, so I'm sort of happy. Only I did not understand the "turbo mode." On the bios screen it report 3.4GHz... and then on next line it suggest "OS speed" and with x21 multiplier it says 4200MHz. So should I expect the turbo taking me to 4.2GHz or what the hell is going on? Anyway, 3.4GHz with one core give 12.2sec on SuperPi 1M test, witch is not bad at all. (considering that it is pretty doubtfull, how the hell this is even working in the first place)
