Massman Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I had a quick discussion with @lanbonden about the end date and decided that we will keep the end date. All the competitions are up on the schedule and were announced quite a while before it started, so there should be enough time to get all the scores on time. Good luck everyone! Quote
Mr.Scott Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 My EPOX board looks to have died, no idea how, was working, changed GPU, not working. Literally 20 seconds between hitting power switch on to off and won't work no matter what I've tried. Perhaps its just old, and needs a rest, will give it a try later this weekend. Good luck guys! Typical Epox sudden death syndrome. Quote

Administrators websmile Posted January 31, 2016 Administrators Posted January 31, 2016 You fail All checked, two results removed due to insufficient verification (please do not hide benchmark settings at 99, this also includes cpu instructions used for benchmark) - good job, for me the result now is final up to possible recheck, but I think I did not overlook invalid results. Overview needs to be recalculated though, but it will not change first places Good job Quote
Marquzz Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Family stuff here just made me forgot....I'm so sad now :( Cannot believe this happened... working for over a month on this.... Quote
Administrators websmile Posted January 31, 2016 Administrators Posted January 31, 2016 I am not too fond of sandbagging, I am not australian - sad to see this, but next time it might be better to upload results a bit earlier^^ Quote

Was supposed to do it way earlier....I just...can't find the words... Quote

Administrators websmile Posted January 31, 2016 Administrators Posted January 31, 2016 Yes, and this makes it double weird why people have enough space on screen and still don´t bother to show it despite the explicit screenshot at rules tab which makes it mandatory. I thought twice about this but then dicided to block these nontheless simply because rules are 100% clear, feel free to protest at head of moderation, but at 01 it is same, even if you show settings completely above the subtest window, it doesn´t match the rules. Sorry, but when I start to make exceptions and decide by "common sense" and thereby have to bend rules that are 100% clear I am not sure I will end up at making clear decisions in the future. It is annoying, I am aware of this, so I don´t make friends with this but it is the job Quote
TASOS Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Too hard to work without a Goldfinger , on a Pluto cpu that you dont have a clue about it's limits. I only had Sunday morning available (since it was not accepted to have the whole Sunday) I soldered numerous times those tiny resistors on the athlon pcb. But i couldnt get the result i opted for.

Kotori Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Regretfully good sub was miss the deadline, Marquzz-san your pcm04 is very nice! i have finished first place in stage2, but personally your win, and i was looking forward to I.nfraR.ed-san's submission. Quote
havli Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Good scores everyone. 3DM99 was really chalenging and fun. PCM04... well this one isn't my strong point. Looking forward to the next stage. No need for PLL mods and multiplier unlockers on s423. Quote
I.nfraR.ed Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Very strong PCMark04 score, indeed. Even though I have 2001 on PCMark, I lose in almost every subtest compared to kotori, so in fact my score I got just before the stage ends and could not upload so fast is worth 3rd place. For first stage I could not solve the low score on Win98 and on Win XP I could not improve much, since the board was not stable at 112 and 115MHz no matter what I did. The goldfinger device somehow worked and I also tried to force 10.5x multi by desoldering one resistor, but it did not boot. Same thing if set with GFD. This CPU has no VID3 resistors, so I don't know what else to try. The CPU is definitely capable of higher frequency, but I was limited by the board. I also got an Epox board yesterday evening, but could not run the 1GHz Thunderbird at higher than 8.5 multi and the board was so unstable even on stock... Guess I need TurboPLL to achieve more, or maybe some better board, like the Abit. Good job everyone, kotori-san was unreachable for me. ------------------------- Edited January 31, 2016 by I.nfraR.ed Quote
Kotori Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) My GFD has 12.5x setting but i also can't boot up 10.5x multi. About EP-7KXA, I.nfraR.ed-san do you have Argon or Pluto athlon? i found bug report in japnese over clocker home page, roughly matches your symptoms, problem only using with T-bird (Aluminum core, Copper core both). Other than that, sorry japanese web site. http://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/777/777911/index-3.html#eid777918 Translated a part It is a story that was published at the time EPoX support site has the following of such circumstances. The Athlon there is a large two signal mode. One is a method called Open Drain, the other is a Push-Pull method. Neither is a method of well-used, but simply put Open Drain is a signal of how to cover the High and Low is one of the FET, a method of allocating another FET in the generation of Push-Pull The High and Low. It is preferred that more of the Push-pull is when considering the speed of the signal, founder of Athlon Slot A (K7 / K75.K76 unknown) had been constructed in the Open-Drain system. On the other hand, in the case of Thunderbird, but all Socket A is a Push-pull method, Thunderbird for Slot A was possible to Open-Drain output. However, to do this requires a special setting for instructing a "case and the Open-Drain output" to the Thunderbird, which was not only implemented in the AMD-751. When mounting the Thunderbird to KX133, against the intention of CPU to transmit and receive signals in the Push-pull, would have meant to send a signal in the Open-Drain system, this is the CPU on the grounds driver (transistor part for transmitting and receiving) but there is a risk of damage.

I.nfraR.ed Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Yes, I have a Argon 650MHz and it booted straight up. Don't like the Epox board though, better mod the Asus, which is much more stable. Quote
Crew Strunkenbold Posted February 1, 2016 Crew Posted February 1, 2016 Seems like AMD said that the Thunderbird had no support on KX133 boards, despite the fact that those where released later. But AMD chipset had correct support for it. Only exception, was Asus K7V-T where T stands for Thunderbird. Toms Hardware released a guide how to upgrade K7V to a K7V-T here: http://www.tomshardware.de/aufpoliert-vom-asus-k7v-zum-k7v-t-uning,testberichte-209.html (german) Its too bad some of you missed the deadline, but I would wish you would upload your results anyway. Just to show what this platform is capable of. Quote
Kotori Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Another KX133 board, Aopen AK72 was perfectly stable on Thunderbird. Quote
TASOS Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 @Gumanoid Since we used the same board (Gigabyte GA-7IXE) , i wanted to ask you a couple of things , in case you happen to know , or you actually faced the same problems. 1)With a hardware modded Pluto @1.85 & 1.90 volt , the board refused to boot. 2)Having a rev 1.1 board , i couldnt upgrade to bios F7 official or FAA beta. When i flashed to those two bios versions , the board was dead , not booting. The only operating bios was the F3 (i need to check-out the F4 beta). 3)Hardware modded cpu @1.80 volt. When reading pll output with a software prog. on my next boot i was having 2.05 volt Vcore !!! Quote
Mr.Scott Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Another KX133 board, Aopen AK72 was perfectly stable on Thunderbird. My K7V-RM runs Thunderbird just fine. KX133 board. Quote
I.nfraR.ed Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 @Strunkenbold, @Kojima45 Very good info, thanks. Will try it in the future. Want to see the limit of this CPU. External PLL mod does not seem too hard to make, so I will try. Never done it before, but love to learn new things. Quote
Kotori Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 Will try it in the future. Want to see the limit of this CPU. I also want to see. @scotty: K7V-RM looks good, i'll get fi find it. Quote

Where did you get a FAA beta bios? Unfortunately I have not tried to modify the vcore. Quote
TASOS Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Yes, my board is rev 1.1 too, my board is no problems with flashing to F7 bios. Where did you get a FAA beta bios?Unfortunately I have not tried to modify the vcore. Maybe it's my board , that acts strange. I tried multiple times to flash to a newer bios bersion and everytime i did , the board was not booting afterwards. I found the latest beta on a webarchive page. I can give it to you , if you want it. Quote
