Lays

This is a submission that's super curious: You can see he only has an H110 GT in his picture, he lied about his cooling, has his BIOS settings hidden and is running 5 ghz on a 5960x with only an AIO? http://hwbot.org/submission/2889117_ Then this guy is also in his team, and got really close to same frequency, also on sn0wme's profile he has a picture WITH DJForza in front of the custom watercooled 5960x PC. http://hwbot.org/submission/2889216 They either got ridiculously lucky and both got great 5960x's, or they're hardware sharing and using Sn0wme's PC to submit that score. Not trying to point fingers or get anyone in trouble, it just looks really fishy IMO.

Unfortunately not, I just have the original email with the link in it.

I have an old CPU-Z validation from a long time ago with my 3930k at 5 ghz, I've sold it since then though so I can't test again. I wanted to submit it, but it was named after my PC, and not after my HWBOT name. (Darren-PC) was the name it was submitted as, and not "Lays" I wasn't involved with HWBOT back then, so I didn't know any better. Is there any way I can fix this and use it? Or am I crap outta luck? Could I provide other types of proof, like the email it was sent to, as well as pictures of my old system + a picture showing that I am indeed the person that received the CPU-Z dump? The email I use now for submissions with CPU-Z is also the same exact email I used back then, would that help any?

Yeah I'm in the process of returning all the x99 stuff I bought, just going to find some used z97 stuff for cheap and buy a 980 TI Classified when it's released. I got like 100 HWBOT points using z97 and after return fees I'll only lose $40, IMO worth it in the end.

How did you manage to get your BCLK to 100 and still run memory at 3000? When I try with my 3000 mhz XMP kit it's 125 BCLK with 24 memory multiplier, and I can't boot.

I think I may have messed up, I think I need a verification image and also a picture of my PC since I am in the top 20? I will do it ASAP.

As I said before, I'm on 7. I have all the visual features disabled in windows settings to get those extra few points on benchmarks.

Awww ok. That makes a bit more sense, I was running 4750 on the CPU and 4380 on the cache with 13-14-14-17 on the ram, so I figured CPU wasn't the issue, but what you said clarifies it a bunch. TY. I'm on windows 7 BTW, just with the "maximum performance" things on in windows settings.

I did that, and used Kboost with precision X to lock the card at 1306. I'm not sure what the issue is, I even rolled back to an older driver incase that was the issue. Could it be an X99 issue? I see people with 4790k's getting like 40k higher GPU score than I'm getting.

Hello, I have a 780 TI Classified running at 1306/1975 and I'm getting much much lower graphic scores than other people with lower clocks. I have a friend with a 770 that was getting 8000 more GFX score than I am in aquamark, anyone know why? Picture attached!

This one? http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/opencl-zone/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/ It still works on my 5820k correct? Just figured I'd double check before I install it. Thanks by the way for the help guys!

hmm, it was passing everything else, maybe it was unstable somehow. At 4.5 & 3.5 cache I can pass it, so it must of been unstable somehow.

Hello, I keep getting "invalid result" on GPUpi for CPU, not sure what I'm doing wrong to invalidate it. I just installed all the things it told me I needed, and ran it after some other benchmarks I've ran today. I installed version 2.1.1 and I'm running 64 bit on Windows 7, I also got the "open CL runtime" from intel's site that GPUpi's website told me I needed. Here's a picture: any help would be greatly appreciated, let me know if you need anything else for pictures I'd be glad to help.

I've now got it running XTU benchmarks at 4.75 on the core at 1.92 vccin, 1.45vcore, and 4.38 cache at 1.35 vring and 1.48 VL6. I left VL4/VL3 on AUTO, and it seems to be running stable now. Also running ram at 13-14-14-17 290 TRFC @ 3000 mhz. (Stock is 15-15-15-35 3000 TRFC 391)

OK So VL6 1.45v, ring at 1.325v I can boot at 4.25 cache & 4.5 on the CPU with 1.275v and 1.9v vccin. Can boot into windows with ring at 1.3 for 4.25 cache, but it crashes shortly after. I left VL3 and VL4 at auto, on the off chance that's whats messing with everything. I passed XTU with 1820 marks, but shortly after it crashed before I could do anything else. I'll keep tuning maybe I can get it, but IDK I spent like 4 hours yesterday messing with it and couldn't get past 4.25.

I tried everything I could think of and 90% of what you told me to, and I just can't get the cache past 4.2, I don't understand if I'm doing something wrong, or what. I will add a picture below,

I still use CPU ring voltage then correct? IE: VL6 to 1.45-1.5v, then adjust Ring voltage accordingly for stability? Also, thank you very much for helping me out. I appreciate it!

Do I need to set ring voltage then still, or leave it at auto and let VL6 override it? (If that is indeed the uncore voltage?) How far can I push VL6? I assume there's a point where I'll see diminishing returns? I see some people with 5820k's hitting 4.6 on the cache, and I'm already beating them in cinebench, or very close to them. I was only running 4750 on the core and 4120 on the cache, so I'm sure if I can bump up that cache a bit and tighten my timings I'll be able to get 1450-1500 CB score. (Already getting 1432) I also had a question about my RAM, enabling XMP changes my BCLK to 125, and I'm fairly sure I can hit 4.8 ghz with the voltage I was doing 4.75 with, I changed my BCLK to 100 and tried changing memory multiplier to 30 but then can't boot, do I need to mess around with VL4 and VL5 to get it to work?

Does anyone know what VL1/VL2/VL3/VL4/VL5/VL6 do? Could you possibly explain if possible? I can't find any tutorials or guides or explanations, I found one video but it's in Italian and I couldn't understand exactly what he was doing. Trying to learn how my new X99 Board works with those voltages I listed above, I can figure out the rest of everything as I remember most of the things from previous overclocking adventures. (z97 & X99) Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

It's basically exactly the same as your core clock, you just change the multiplier and test for stability. You will also need to increase your VCCIN, and probably up the cache voltage.

Have you ever heard of the "Sprucegoose"? I live somewhat close to the museum but I've never been there. Always wanted to go check it out!

I'll ask him if he can go cheaper on one of the 4.7 chips when he gets stock, I have a buildlog with 45,000 views and I think if I gave him a shout-out & mentioned him in the thread a few times as well as say he's a contributor with his banner & link to his website, he may cut me a deal. Not sure though, as 45,000 views I guess isn't all that much.

I can't justify the prices if I can bin them myself from amazon for free essentially, otherwise I'd do it.

Thanks! I'm loving the community around here so far, takes awhile for responses, but they're always good ones.

Good news, I talked to an amazon rep and they said I can return it within 30 days. It's weird that the rep told me one thing, and that their policy says another though. I guess only one way to find out.
