The official GIGABYTE Z97 Last Hurrah Ambient Challenge thread.

[sskmercer]

I'm all good with the decision guys and will make sure HWM is on from now on for XTU runs. Apologies for any mix ups on this including me typing HWInfo LOL.

[fgi]

W.T.F. With fixed cpu frequency, cpu temperature doesn't matter. Memory overclocking is the way for more and more points.

Which hwmonitor show memory temperature?

[superpatodonaldo]

the way for more points on XTU (two stages.....) is win 8.1, amazing boost;

I think there is too much distance between win 7 and 8.1

[arhaam]

is cpu clock must be equal with uncore ??

[Alan_Alberino]

Sure superpatodonaldo? Cause all your scores are on w7 Anyway I will download w8.1 and try

[websmile]

Yes, uncore same or less than CPU frequency, was already discussed before

[superpatodonaldo]

I think so...

Now I've only win 7 but I suppose XTU on win 8.1 is quite better (tested on an i5 4460)

[superpatodonaldo]

there are some submission with uncore over frequency........

[websmile]

I know, but I gave warning and answer on this question here several times. If people don´t care they will have to live with subs being removed after stage end, I have very few time for pre-checks atm

[superpatodonaldo]

what about my (reported) submission?

 

XTU Always displays a strange string on max cpu freq

Hi Super', I think it was found a while ago that XTU was doing that with a Non-English install of Windows (or you selected a different language) which was causing that HUGE CPU freq. Although I though that was fixed with the latest version. Then again I could be WAY wrong, but could swear I saw this in thread somewhere.

[websmile]

Use latest xtu version and if the problems remains switch to english like Scott proposed, this worked according to Pieter and it worked for me as well, I tested it yesterday - I made fast check on stage 1 and extreme and ambient, had to remove tons of results and yours will go as well, I only checked top ten to give people hints - please include Hwmonitor, please include mainboard tab on all! stages and uncore above cpu core is not allowed for frequency limited stages

Edited July 20, 2015 by websmile

[superpatodonaldo]

Ok

I've just downloaded the latest XTU version, later I'll try to run with that one

 

If it doesn't work I'll try in english mode

 

Thank You

I've got an other question:

HWMonitor have to be open during bench or it's enough just for the screen?

For example, can first I run XTU and then open cpu-z (cpu, motherboard, memory) and HWMonitor? or do I have to open before HWMonitor and then run the bench?

 

Thank you one more

[websmile]

HWMonitor should be open during bench, you can of course minmize tab

[superpatodonaldo]

Ok

 

so there are several bench to verify :-|

[techjesse]

I wish I could participate, I have a GIGABYTE Z87X-OC Motherboard I should have waited for the Z97 chipset.

[superpatodonaldo]

There are many submission with HWMonitor opened only for the screen and not during the bench;

Are they regular?

[websmile]

After checking similar comp lately I agree on these subs being valid, so you can do same. Especially because these are low clock results, and rules are load temp bound

[superpatodonaldo]

ok

[arhaam]

pieter or michael, i just submit for stage 1 http://hwbot.org/submission/2928755_arhaam_xtu_core_i7_4790k_1162_marks?recalculate=true can u please check if that score valid, thanks

[websmile]

I left you a comment at the result, it looks bugged for me, final decision I leave to head of moderation. Please be sure you have a second valid score in case this one gets blocked, we see a lot of bugged xtu runs lately unfortunately

So to be clear and I think what super's point is, we can RUN the benchmark then open the HWMonitor or HWInfo (cpl of people with HWInfo).

 

@arhaam, that's definitely a bugged run, look at your previous sub 1089 is in line with what people have run before and not just in this comp. It is bang on with a 44x run. Are you setting the 40x in bios or XTU?

Yes, you can open hwmonitor after the run. It makes no sense to run it parallel when temp max is refering to load temps. I wonder why some people use hwinfo - rules say hwmonitor clearly, so this might result in subs being removed

[websmile]

Last check before comp ends, I was generous on hwinfo but had to remove or block lots of results even then - please check rules again and rebench if it hit you
