I shall update my score once I get home from work. :-)

I just beat your score. Am I allowed to overclock the cpu?

Well it should atleast be put on the rules page for the bench: http://hwbot.org/news/4591_application_33_rules/ First I learned of the need for the numbers to be in order, so if others are missing them, gotta ban them all.

No worries, I've gone and reported a bunch, hopefully to make your jobs easier.

Hmmmmm. I just went through about 30 subs that are currently in the top 5 for their respected cpu cores, and almost all of them have out of order Pwds. Checked scores. Do you want me to report all these now, or will the mods get around to them?

DDR1? Fuhgeddaboutit!

Another one, more of a question this time. Can you please explain (or point me to where it's been explained before) how this works: Is that points for the team, and everyone that entered in that team gets those points, those points only given to people who's scores were the best for their team, that score divided between scores active/submitted? I'm pretty confused, and it's stemming from the just wrapped up Z77 comp, and why some of my scores got 1pt each. Trying to figure out how that came about. Also, is it normal that I had to manually recalc my submits for the points to be applied to the submit? Or is that something that would happen from the backend, if not later on?

Cheers. :celebration:

This rule page: http://hwbot.org/news/9039_application_52_rules/ has a lone letter 't' in the "Default benchmark settings" area.

I just submitted 3 results, as can be seen in my history, the one that I didn't include a compare url for, I can no longer add in after the fact. This result here: http://hwbot.org/submission/2523474_ adding this compare url: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1866215 Since it's for the Z77 comp, I wanted to be above board and report this bug right away.

Couldn't add compare URL into this result AFTER the fact, will do a bug report, here it is: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/1866215

LOL. Just because someone submitted with a low end card, for a comp that needs a low scores, doesn't mean that they don't have higher end cards.

That's a good idea for a competition actually^. Set an achievable score in a benchmark, ie the 12345 in 3DM06, and to win it, get closest with the oldest hardware. It'd be dead simple for a 4770k and 780ti to get that score at low clocks, but much harder for a Q6600 and GTX280 for instance. ^Noting this down for future OCAU comps.

"The stage prize will be given away to a lucky winner chosen amongst all who hit the target" Who picks and how?

First timer... so no idea what happened last year^. I need to work out the costs of staying for X days to start planning this. ^Goes looking for that thread.

Yeah, I'd need ideas of places to stay...

Put me down as considering. I need a mid year holiday, and got nothing better to do than overclock. Anyone want to help a guy out with info for accomondation/what to do/see in Taiwan and all that jazz? Probably looking at the 1st to 10th, +- a few days either side.

$10k!?? what.

Your score is liquid as bro! totes opa.

Competition pages are coming up with errors for me today? http://hwbot.org/competition/march_z77/ (sorry for size)

Yes. It's a gtx580 after all.

I can see a 7970 lightning, 3770k and motherboards from Gigabyte, Asrock, Intel and MSI within my eyesight. Sandbags incoming.

Nah, google.

Ha! Not quite. Just a standard Australian fly screen window. http://www.eastcoastwindows.com.au/images/large/safety-grille-window.jpg

I think I have a pci SIS card for round 4, and will buy a GT610 for round 1, since I've been meaning to get a low profile/power + silent GPU for 2D benching anyway. Everything else though, NOOOOPE, way too old to keep around taking up valuable GPU storage space.
