ksateaaa23 Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 "redux" has reported my sub for the second time. first time he has reported and i have explained him. no moderator attended to it. now he reported again. this is bizarre. generally, i use windows in balanced mode with Amd Cool n Quiet on(power saving feature). so you will see only the lowest multi and not actual multi in the screenshot.(although you can see the range of multi in cpu-z) without understanding this. if the rookies start to report repeatedly, it looks odd. some action should be taken against him. how about removing the option for rookies to report subs.......probably in due course of time they will understand what is what. then may be allow in future once they move on to novice or enthusiast. https://hwbot.org/submission/3961445_ksateaaa23_hwbot_x265_benchmark___4k_fx_6300_3.87_fps 1 Quote
Mikecdm Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I think the rookie makes a valid point. Perhaps turning off balanced mode would allow you to make a proper submission and prevent this in the future. Quote
ksateaaa23 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 frequency is not reduced. it was taken at the same frequency as the bench was run. since it is in balanced mode. you see the frequency with lowest multi. Quote
ksateaaa23 Posted February 23, 2019 Author Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) see the screen shot and the frequency measured by x265 is 24* 207.7 cpu-z (7-24)*207.69. hope you understand it. why should i turn off balanced mode. is there a rule that says, you can't use balanced mode in the screenshot........

ozzie Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 not that ive seen , its been used that way by people for yrs to use balanced mode if they choose to, simple way to work it out is multiply the fsb x the multi, you get the mhz, thats been used, i dont see the fuss at all, silly really !!! 1 Quote

Yes, that was the intent of how the rule was supposed to work. Now as to if this is a matter worth reporting or if a rookie is just being petty because they can't understand how a community works...

Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 25, 2019 Crew Posted February 25, 2019 well to me the rule is weird as X265 already detects the freq the processor will max out at when the bench is running... Quote

Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 25, 2019 Crew Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) yep it does, but that already gives you an indication where the freq is at approx,... I think the Redux reports are more related to how can he reach this score at eg 1600Mhz... Some benchies work better with e.g. C-states enabled... what do you do with all the subs that have slow mode on ? Or all of them scores that downclocked a few multies to be sure to save the screenshot.... If people report the actual frequency it was run at, I'm fine with it.... OC is never gonna be foolproof, no matter how many rules we will imply, people will always will find a way to circumvent Edited February 25, 2019 by Leeghoofd 1 Quote
ksateaaa23 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) Generally I keep all power saving features on while oc'ing. India climate is very hot (most part). Most benchs run in balanced mode then change to high performance and take screenshot. Only benchs I leave the screenshots in balanced mode are x265, xtu, GPU pi etc since the frequency is detected by benchmark. Now onwards I will not do that also. Take Screenshot with actual frequency run in high performance mode to eliminate any doubts. Edited February 25, 2019 by ksateaaa23 1 Quote

ksateaaa23 Posted February 25, 2019 Author Posted February 25, 2019 according to me, Rule must have to be 1. precise 2. firm 3. utmost clarity here many rules, haven't been updated for few years. may be it's time for rephrasing RULES. (till then people may find ways to circumvent) Quote
ksateaaa23 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 i will give an example of memory clock rules. what i found is nothing too clear about it except it says use the latest version of cpu-z etc. ddr2 i had a sub with 786.6 mhz reported by M1RROR. he says divider bugged and i was angry because i had all validations, all screenshots (upto 784 but i couldn't find that one. posting 773.3 screenshot) from 750mhz to 786.6mhz. then my captain mr.scott stepped in and said, 3:5 divider for ddr2 memory is bugged and is not valid for memory validation. then i searched for the thread and found few from 2011-12. there was a clear discussion and they have removed most of the subs back then. now when i checked, i could find a few subs with 3:5 divider. may be they are doing it because of ignorance. this is an exception, should have been stated in rules. otherwise how people will know. i started oc in 2014, so how do i know what was discussed in 2011-12. https://valid.x86.fr/fgt5xf Quote
ksateaaa23 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) i could find 3 subs with 3:5 memory divider in the top 20 ddr2. https://hwbot.org/submission/3803401_gtxx58_memory_frequency_ddr2_sdram_818.8_mhz https://hwbot.org/submission/3567472_bolc_memory_frequency_ddr2_sdram_805.4_mhz https://hwbot.org/submission/3568889_andorria_memory_frequency_ddr2_sdram_796.8_mhz Edited February 26, 2019 by ksateaaa23 Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 26, 2019 Crew Posted February 26, 2019 X265 has OHM monitoring tool build in. But you have to tick the monitoring box before starting the benchmark. Maybe we could impose this as rule Quote
ksateaaa23 Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 in built ohm has a problem. i have booted with 216 bus with i5 750 frequency 4320 and then increased the bus to 219 immediately. then ran few other benchs. after that i ran x265 wanted to see how good is ohm and it detects the bus only 216. frequency only 4320. also hardware monitor pro is open during the bench. you can see clearly 4380 is the max freqency.

It should absolutely be included in the rules because the information on this bug is really easy to miss since its buried deep by now. Problem is that there is a second, not broken 3:5 divider and its impossible to distinguish the two from what I could see. 2 Quote
