How they deal with Bitcoin in Canada? Well. ASIC mining in action: ... ASIC boards that need around 350W of power seems to be quite effective, because even the old ones with 64 CPUs are faster that 30 pieces od 7970 graphis cards: "64 ASICs on-board that offers 24GH/s performance which is equivalent to more than 30 ATI 7970 graphic cards." http://en.ocworkbench.com/tech/biostar-ready-launch-motherboards-built-asics-great-bitcoin-mining/ However todays ASICs are even faster, Soullessone21 is, for example, currently selling an 180GH/s powerfully ASIC mining systm, because he is soon getting a new, even faster version

I write him PM back on 01-20-2014, 15:11: So what more one can do to get the result where it belong and get the bug fixed?

BUMP for manual fix, to put the score where it belong...

I completely disabled ActiveX Still everything normal works

Bones, you are right. It is the service... Find and fixed: http://hwbot.org/submission/2498881_trodas_wprime___32m_opteron_148_90nm_61sec_500ms Yes, Ananerbe, that is it - DCOM service (in Czech - Spoušťeč procesů serveru DCOM) was stopped. Because I see no reason for it to run, so I stop it. When started, it start services like HW detection and WIA images BS and both I did not like, so... That fixed it. On Win2k, there is no need for this and it run just fine Damn WinXP

BUMP for fix, my score is STILL not there, still not counted, etc.

I wanted to make some submissions by wPrime, when I finally touched the 2.8GHz barrier: http://valid.canardpc.com/1uvus6 ...but... WTF?! "Remote server machine does not exist or it is unavailable." Whut?! Since when wPrime even require connection to the net in the first place? I was under the impression that overclockers understand that during overclocking the board is mostly not even connected to the net at all... So should I force my machine to pretend that there is NO net connection just to make wPrime work or what can I do to make wPrime 1.55 work? There is not any updated version to download as I checked, so... wPrime is dead now, or what is going on?

First at all, I want to congratulate the HWbot team that the DDR3 bug (claiming my DDR rams are DDR3 when I use the prepopulate function it fixed! Hoooray! Never the less I still want to complain that in the Disk section, there I enter the HDD type as follows the manufacture code, eg. Series WD1600AAJB. And that it not remembered/transfered to the prepopulate submission. It is just complately empty, focring me to search for the series WD code and enter it again... I claim a bug there

BUMP for the fix, still not there, still not counted... discouraging

DIY GPU watercooling

Bump for fix. Still not there... pls?

There is absolutely no way this will work anymore, because the contacts are gone and it would be stroke of "one time per life luck", if after replacing the connector the poor mobo is still working...

Still THIS Cinebench score: http://hwbot.org/submission/2479951_trodas_cinebench_r11.5_core_duo_t2350_0.88_points ...is not under the Quanta 30BB mainboard scored there: http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/30bb/ Even it correctly show the link to the 30BB mobo Bump for a fix!

Still waiting for the fix... Come on, people!

The Cinebench score is STILL not there. BUMP for fixing this!

That pretty much confirm what I managed to discover - 225MHz require extreme voltages and very relaxed secondary timings to get 2.5-3-3 to work... much less to get it to work stable. Hence they are really not worth the trouble, so they go to the P4 box, where is basicaly no overclocking happening and these old OCZP4001G sticks seee more action. Looks like that the only way to get something out of the OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K is to get the Rev 2 of them and nothing else. What type of ram do you recommend to search on eBay for, ZFeSS?

Hmmm, so I tried another simple test - 2.85V to the dimms and then a little bit relaxed timings TCL - 2.5, TRCD - 3, TRP - 3, TRAS - 7, TRRD - 3, TRC - 11, TRFC - 24, TRWT - 3 and where I could get. 210 - fine, 215 - fine, 220 - fine, 225 - tough memtest works, it BSOD when booting to win. Tried push voltage to 2.90V and still BSOD. So I quess that to reach 225MHz (much less stable 230) I need to relax timings more, 2.5-3-3-7 did not seems to do the job even with very high voltage. What timings to relax, that did not have so big impact on memory speed...? Also I tested how far one can go with the default 2-3-2 timings and stock 2.50V. Now very far. 205 seems to be stable, but at just 210 it started reporting bios corruption and so on... so somewhere between 205 and 210 is the limit of the current timings with no bumped up voltage. That is not much headroom, as my OCZP4001G sticks 2x1G do 216MHz at 2-3-2 timings (2.60V tough, might be worth to try with 2.60V these ones too) ... Tought the overclocking is ATM pretty mediocre, when 225MHz cannot even work, no matter the voltage (2.90V is the max I want to try) ... unless there are need to change some advanced settings to get higher, then around 220MHz is the top stop for them at 2.5-3-3-7, witch is very light O/C. Any ideas welcome to get past 225MHz PS. to make get stable 225MHz and maybe go past them I tried relaxing the timings once again: TCL - 2.5, TRCD - 3, TRP - 3, TRAS - 7, TRRD - 3, TRC - 16, TRFC - 24, TRWT - 5 and I get (2.85V) to Windows XP fine this time. Sadly, there is an error in memory stress test Prime 95 settings just under one minute... So back to auto voltage (2.50V) and raised FSB to 260, witch give 204MHz for the rams and with tight timings, things are stable. So I getting out of ideas...

Still not there, so a bump for Massman!

Oh... that IS something. 266MHz at 2.5-3-2-5 is kick-ass performance! Whoa. Mine best SuperPi 1M result for P4 is 41sec: http://hwbot.org/submission/2433308_trodas_superpi___1m_pentium_4_3.4_ghz_prescott_41sec_297ms ... 32sec is out of question, lol. And 266MHz for rams, Oooooh! Never get even close to that - ever - in my life So, the TRAS 5 is probably good for P4, while I have to try on AMD64 what will be faster really... but the rest of the setting looks almost like my attempts, yet failed attempts. Therefore you say - just the voltage to crank it up? No special settings or something? You know, the Drive Strenght, Memory Drive Strenght and similar. Not need to touch for the Infineon BE chips?

You people are not very optimistic to say at least! I got OCZP4001G sticks 2x 1G, that can run 2-3-2-7 (TRAS 7 is optimal for AMD64 memory controler, they say) up to 216MHz and then at 2.5-3-3-7 they works well at 231MHz...! So I expecting no less from these Platinum suxxkas! Dunno, tough, what chips they have, but SPD is really 2-3-2-5 for 200MHz at 2.5V, witch sounds pretty promising to me. And they run at that clock right now and 100% stable and well. But overclock is the problem... So, maybe someone know what chips they have and what is the best settings for them? 3-3-2-8 sounds slow to reach 230MHz, I hoped for CAS 2.5 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/crucial/tracer4000/ "TRAS always at 7, this gives highest memory bandwith when used with the Integrated Memory Controller (IMC) of the Athlon64." Mr.Scott - oh, finally someone optimistic! That much voltage...? Oh, well... if they need 2.85V, they can get 2.85V I want them at 229MHz as the mobo run before with the Kingmax 2x 512MB ones... Why TRAS 5...? Are there some bench that show better speed? (oh, well, I could probably run 3DMark 01 before and after, this suxxka is very sensitive to CPU/memory speed - almost more that to a GFX card speed, lol) ...

For my old computer to get some interesting overclock and also (mainly) more memory I got a 2G of these DDR (1) OCZ Platinum 2-3-2-5 sticks labeled as OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K. (image only illustrational from eBay, not mine, no idea why one of these sticks have v1 and other v2 anyway) So these should have the nice Samsung TCCD chips, so I was trying to power the machine on with 229MHz (250 FSB/183 divider that gives 229MHz on the rams) 2.5-3-3-7 settings and it - failed WTF! So I reset the bios and started going step-by-step. 200MHz divider (so, 1:1 to FSB) and I see the default settings are TCL - 2, TRCD - 3, TRP - 2, TRAS - 5, TRRD - 2, TRC - 11, TRFC - 24, TRWT - 3, Read Preamble 5.5ns and Async latency 7nS. Since I did not plan on getting FSB over 280, then these two last settings I leaved untouched. However I do relax the timings to TCL - 2.5, TRCD - 3, TRP - 3, TRAS - 7, TRRD - 3, TRC - 11, TRFC - 24, TRWT - 3 and tried at witch clock the memory fail to post/run Memtest with voltage at auto to the rams. 220 was fine, 225 too, 230 no post. Backed down to 227MHz and that seems to work. Then I relaxed the timings even more to TCL - 2.5, TRCD - 4, TRP - 3, TRAS - 7, TRRD - 3, TRC - 14, TRFC - 24, TRWT - 4 and tried the 230MHz clock and again it failed... Previous lame Kingston 2x 512MB sticks can do 229MHz at these settings... So I set the divider 183 and started raising the FSB while I know, that the CPU can do about 2850MHz with 1.425Vcore (and x11 multi), so up to about 255-260MHz I'm fine. This went this way - I went back to these settings: TCL - 2.5, TRCD - 3, TRP - 3, TRAS - 7, TRRD - 3, TRC - 11, TRFC - 24, TRWT - 3 ... and started pushing - 235MHz FSB gives 198MHz, that was fine. 240 gives 203MHz on the rams and also it seems to be fine in DOS/Memtest. 245 gives 207MHz and it also looks fine... but 250 (as I run before) failed to post. So I set 248 with gives 209MHz on the rams and that worked well, but on WinXP boot it give BSOD. Damn. So backed down to 246 and that boot WinXP, but then it fail on BSOD WTF... I changed the voltage from auto (IIRC 2.5V it should be) to 2.70V and... reboot instead of BSOD. So voltage are no-no, therefore I tried voltage back at auto + 245MHz FSB and that somewhat works, but very unstable. So I had to back down the divider to 166, so I get 250 - 196.4MHz for the rams. Then 255MHz FSB gives out 200.4MHz on the rams, so I set back their tightest default settings, as at 200MHz, there is really no need to relax timings at all. That gives 2805MHz for the Opty 148 using Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe (Radeon Xpress 3200)... But I'm somewhat disapointed. I used to run OCZ P4001G rams (also 2x 1G) at 231MHz with 2.5-3-3-7 settings at 2.64V ... So, what I doing wrong? At 1:1 divider these rams managed to 227MHz, witch is under the 231 wanted, but at least they can be overclocked somewhat. Now when I push the divider, then even very slight overclock (209MHz) is impossible. WTF! Old OCZ P4001G rams run their tightest 2-3-2-7 settings up to 216MHz. Do I need to play a bit with the skew or relaxing the drive in order to get higher? I refuse to believe that I cannot get these rams clock faster. So I asking for suggestions. That was just my first quick attempt to get the machine working by quick & dirty way PS. this is the original seller image of these sticks - no revision on them: OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K

Good, thanks for suggestion. Massman contacted, we see where this lead to... THX! /me off thinking about how better O/C the OCZ sticks I got...

Bump for fix

I was ready to bet on that. Because all the time the percieved reason why there is the failure with the Vanta LT card was, that the card cannot handle the default settings. I hardly can object about it, because the card is so old, so it seems reasonable. Then it turned out, that w/o wrapper it just run fine at default settings. And to make things even worser, just replacing it for another so so old card, ATI Rage 3D Pro 128 make things instantly work (using the wrapper). And then I put the Vanta LT there again and it still does not work. Beats me Maybe the wrapper did not like old nVidia cards? On 6800GS/8600GT it just run fine, on the top of all that.

I did not meant old wrapper. I do meant original Aquamark3 run w/o any wrapper. That is what I do believe will run for Masterchief79 just fine.
