  2. Overclockers League spend loads of money on hardware and if they want to

    stay competitive in the rankings and must spend on latest hardware release or

    do binning.

     

    Hardware Masters were more stable prior to SandyBridge in the gpu category.

    Now they must go back and bench their gpu's on SB to stay on top or in range.

     

    I agree that SandyBridge has taken alot of the old investment in settings tweaking

    and electronic manipulation out of the overclocking scene and made zero's into

    hero's, literally over night. However, the old timers with tricks and tweaks should

    still be hanging right in there with lucky chips.

     

    Performance and how to gain performance varies between platform and vendor naturally.

    Hwbot set itself up based on these variables and tried to balance the

    equation. I'll presume they took all the assumed concerns into consideration like

    the skill factor.

     

    Now SandyBridge is here, should Hwbot uproot its current system because of it?

    Personally, I don't think so. I think we should brave the storm and await the next

    generation from Intel which promises to require more intiment knowledge of components

    and possibly require more electronic intervention (hard mods) to squeeze out better results.

     

    It doesnt make sense for Hwbot to change everything now and then be forced to

    revert back to the older system of points when the winds change yet again.

    Seems like it would be a waste of time.

    If we knew that things would be like SB for a long time (few generations) then it'd make sense to me to change.

     

    Overclockers adapt to every other change in hardware variable, like stellar

    non-reference releases or required binning or suckle-ware or Board A which

    does much higher fsb than Board B or having to use xyz platform for Bench a,b,c.

    If things were to stay this way over the next few generations,

    overclockers would just be forced to FIND a way to release more performance

    from their systems to set themselves apart from others. Sometimes we get

    lucky and an engineer from intel secretly leaks out a pin mod that unlocks

    multipliers or something similar. But, overclockers are never held back for long.

     

    Adaptation and resourcefullness is part of the game. How deep your pocket, lucky your purchase,

    how well you suckle for your hardware and deep your knowledge of a

    platform decides how far at the top of the rankings you'll be.

     

    Anyways, yah, I agree that SandyBridge is a significant change to the scene but I think we should wait it out.

     

    On a positive note, confidence is at an all time high in the noob section and participation looks to be pretty darn high with SandyBridge. The more the merrier if you ask me :)

    4 more sponsored spots left from the kindness of Serra of XtremeSystems.

  4. Just want to show two screenshots:

     

    sandy-bridge.pnggulftown1.png

     

    The difference between #1 and #20 is 14 seconds for Sandy Bridge and 43 seconds for Gulftown.

     

    I understand your point of view as Sandy Bridge brings the very obvious non-scaling with extreme cold (perhaps scaling to -40°C or so), but from another point of view it has brought back overclocking to memory tweaking and software optimisations (which is what many people still regard as the "nicest period in oc history"). I think this is just a different end of the history-curve and brings its own challenges and skill requirements. In June, we'll see another move to extreme cold.

    Promise? :D
