We all love winter, don't we

When you take your single stage on business trip and housekeeper that clean the room @ the hotel freaked out and refused to come near your benching rig......
lol had that some time ago also but I usually inform them in advance to avoid situations like these
...when you go to bed after a long bench night when your gf get's up and goes to work...
-
Yes, something is different about this version. I scores 10,000 points less than the standard version.
this is caused by the fact that you are not able to use the non-patched exe with ~ 4027kb - it will tell you to install the 64bit fix exe (~3972 kb).
imo that MUST be solved as it is impossible to match the old scores in many many cases.

I mean booting with 125 strap in general to be specific - doesn't matter if 125 or 128 bclk as far as my tests are going...
-
... run albrecht run...
...before SoF comes along to get you with teh matrix
-
maybe others of you can check that: booting high bclk will often end in "79" specially when it reboots after raising the multi.
best way to work around it with fresh bios:
load bios profile, save and reset
set 125 strap / 125 bclk
set final voltage and multiplier to 32 (as this will always boot), reset
set 35x multi and reset
now set 40x or higher and keep fingers crossed it will not reboot
if it reboots 80-90% chance of 79...
anyone else?

usually I wanted to write "I don't get it" just because of the title but there is too much win inside to not ROFL

Overclocking is about making screenshots of most likely CPUz, several popular but partly old-fashioned and cpu-bound 3D Marks, a nice new graphics demo for DX9 and DX11 called Unigine and some SuperPi with numbers (which are so called "results" or "benchmark-scores").
@CN lol epic!

now that is how to work around that "cpu fan missing" message

I am working on an "easy" mod - should be finished within the next 4 weeks ^^
€dit: gave up on modding and bought 2 of thoose:

we had no idea when we found it in his tool-box. searched some old things from myself but couldn't find any at all. maybe it was from 5870 or MIIIE?

Hey,
this week-end wasn't exactly what you call "a good day in benching" for me but as I read about people and their degraded chips it could be worse ^^
shared pain is half the pain, so here we go with more things round about the "we'll let the user beta-testing that"...
1. 525€ 3930K C2 CPU comes BOXED with no stock cooler
Well it is not unknown but wasn't made big news either - there have been news about Intel maybe coming with watercooling (and a sidenote it wasn't going to be included)...
but when I finally got my self-payed-long-awaited C2 in a little box I was kinda negatively surprised a bit.
seriously: in amounts like Intel could make it a simple single "out-of-the-box" watercooling solution for the first runs with your new high-end-bench-cpu would cost like what??
35€ maybe - 25€ if you make it at Foxconn without having the rule of "workers must have a toilet"? (which I would NOT support and buy tray instead)
That in addition to a 500€+ CPU should be possible, no?! specially if your old pushpins don't work anymore
Ended up with a "solution" like that which might be more dangerous RMA-wise...
my singlestage mounting wouldn't fit also anymore - I love new plattforms :ws:
2. 3x ASUS Matrix Platinum + RIVE - can't "reach" that?!
1700€ hardware and one "little" design-fail...0,5cm can sometimes be so important
There is NO fitting bridge in the boxes - I searched for it many times...
Oh dear can't wait for April...

3930K C2
SR0KY
Costa Rica (bad omen?!)
3153A417
2V134072A1287
max multi: 51x ... 52x won't boot...no "clean" reset...
I hate overclocking...
Waited for so long to get my own retail and then getting a piece of sh1t like this...
-
Not sure why but I am not that enthusiastic about setting up new windowses, change from 1155 and all these things today - can I hire somebody to prepare X79 bench system for me???
you may take some single card 580 results with you - have enough cards to share a bit
-
1.5V running wprime fine at that speed - seems they did fine on the vrm's...
it isn't too hard to make a decent board these days for maxing sandy-gen cpus.
the cheapest and most expensive boards of any mfc mostly have a difference of less than 50MHZ in raw clock.
main issue sometimes is ram-capability and some special must have settings (01 tweak, subzero/12x fix etc)
-
Done, images removed....
5205Mhz 6/12C Air with the crappiest X79 MB ...from Intel... Wish i was that good to do it during lunch, even more for 24/7
thanks! :ws:
if my CPU walls at 5 gig I will be sorry to tell 5.2 an allday setting
hopefully the packet arrives tomorrow, if not I will have a very boring week-end

Damn SoF, that's useless. I think it works only for AMD, not Intel-CPUs. I followed the description, but it had no effect at all (except my HDD began to smoke
). I heard you need double as much files because of SMT. Am I right? I'm afraid to trash my only backup files left.Not sure about Intel, I think it only works with 5700+ CPUs on Watercooling with 1.6V+ and temperature between 23.25 to 38.11°C depending on your CPU.
I am too stupid for that as somehow my CPUs won't work on my cascade which is the only cooling method I own - I am afraid to damage my hardware with water
Oh and sorry to hear about your loss - should have told you it stresses HDD a lot...
-
Yeah I also have 3 copies always.
never forget the "copy-screen-waazaa CDTWTFZOMG" to get the most out of your backups.
The good guy I am here is the detailed explanation, if you don't know it yet:
- save the original screenshot on the bench-hdd - should look like this:
- copy it instantly and rename into copy1.jpg (must be done on the desktop)
- copy original.jpg to USB stick (directly in main root directory e.g. f:\)
- cut and paste copy1.jpg to USB stick (directly in main root directory e.g. f:\)
- now your score will improve quite remarkable
now the difficult part for the last boost:
- copy copy1.jpg in the same folder and rename it into copy2.jpg
- take all 3 files cut them (not copy!) and copy them onto your c:\ directory of your laptop or allday-system
attention: this part is very dangerous because if it fails during that time you will loose everything
- COPY back everything from there to your USB stick
when you have done this you are almost save
- now copy only copy2.jpg into your c:\ and replace the existing file
- if you have done everything right your copy2.jpg on c:\ will look like this, while the last file onto the usb stick is still looking like copy1.jpg (so make sure to save it again)
:nana:

dude please remove the image-tags, thoose huge images don't even fit my 27'' monitor and makes this side totally confusing.
stepping, batches and max multi are the main focus of this topic, not some 24/7 screens you did during lunch
-
I know about that issue - I looked for some good old full copper coolers and ended up with the legendary SLK900U...I was very happy when I found it hidden in some corner of my benchroom. That one can really take the cold, specially with a nice delta on it - and NO f(l)ucking hashpipe

Well, student "apartment" 15m^2: NOK 2450/month (electricity, water and internet included)
electricity included?! wow I don't want to be the guy that pays your electricity bill, even if you would double up the rent
Also benching on 15m² is insane - I had 30m² (incl. kitchen and bathroom) back in hannover-days and felt like not beeing able to breath sometimes with much much less hardware in my room.
As soon as I had the money I went into 70m²+ to really feel good.
Nowadays I have 80m²+ with my GF and the benchroom is upstairs in a separated room / floor...
...maybe I am getting old but ~8 years ago I felt it was cool beeing surrounded by hardware all the time, sleeping right next to my Prometia Mach I cooled 3200+ Venice which was folding all the time...
Today I am often happy to close the door behind me, go downstairs to my gf, sit down on the couch and give all you nerds a byebye for some hours

I think people have to decide wether they use "pre-benched" hardware to make sure they get a good one and submit scores or try to handle things on their own, even that means to go through like 10-20 8800 GT/S to finally find one with good ram, low mem-cb and other issues...
...even if you have pre-benched hardware you still have to put some work into it to really get the most out of it.
Personally I am not a fan of that - could have done it many times before...never did...I can't, it's against everything I ever lived for in the benching world.
Remember 975X-days....just drive 600km to stummerwinter, put some cards in his system and be Top10 just to say "haha AwardFabrik has 2 people in TOP10"...or we could have done that on GC or Cebit...actually we never even thought about that, we focused on benching together for him and I could always say "I was part of it, I was there"...enough fame for a blindbrain like me
In that night i stay from 1 AM to 9AM in ~ -2c ambient for 3870 results.pussy

March would surprise me - usually we get the distribution-sales-nda at work like 4-6 weeks before and I didn't saw that popping up in my company emails yet...

You know you benched too much when...
