August 4, 20159 yr idd alot of patience. did you run it whit or whitout other gpu/cpu intensive progs in the background to slowdown the system even more
August 4, 20159 yr As you can see I did a few "tweaks" to reach a hardware-performance as low as possible. In addition I used one application in the background. I wanted to use one more but this program did not start properly.
August 4, 20159 yr for me ther was also some problems when running more than one application in the background.i let my system rest for some hours after day's of nonstop running.
August 4, 20159 yr Grats for a finished run, may I ask how long it took? Is my calc of ~3 days roughly correct? I just had a bad failure on my own run 2days in, pump died -> water boiled in the waterblock? -> hose raptured -> motherboard soaked again

August 5, 20159 yr Grats for a finished run, may I ask how long it took? Is my calc of ~3 days roughly correct? Like xxbassplayerxx stated the run took about 77 hours. So your estimation is roughly correct. I just had a bad failure on my own run 2days in, pump died -> water boiled in the waterblock? -> hose raptured -> motherboard soaked again That's sad to hear. Hope you have better luck with your next try. As you can see on the photo of my rig I used aircooling for the cpu and stock aircooling for the gpu. No problems during the run. Today I booted up the pc (I wanted to improve my score in cpu-challenge stage 1) and I realized, that the fan of my 8400 GS didn't spin. Seems to be pure luck that this didn't happen during my long AM3-run. I am so in awe of this result. You have my respect and admiration. This score is awesome. I genuinely laughed out loud Thank you guys. I never thought that such a low score can get this much attention. *g* for me ther was also some problems when running more than one application in the background. To be honest I only tried the second application once. Maybe it was bad luck, maybe there is a problem too - I don't know exactly. i let my system rest for some hours after day's of nonstop running. For now I'm done with this benchmark. I will move on for some other stages to get a result. But if someone beats my score and it's enogh time left (a week? ) I will give it a try again.
August 5, 20159 yr Hah, I didn't realize this, but this score is very anti-sandbagging. Anyone who uploads their result less than 77 hours before the stage closes won't finish in time to improve yours
