hwinfo uses decimal points for cpu speed and hw monitor doesn't. So one screenshot from hwinfo might report 5403.9 and hw monitor will report 5403. Is 5403.9 over the limit?

[Leeghoofd]

if  the speed limitation is 5403, I assume 5403.9 is a tad too high right?

 

hence why I told peeps to check out the different monitoring programs

Ya, well, I'll definitely be switching since I need the same luck as everyone else who miraculously all hit 5403 on the button. ;-)

K to all,  I pulled some X265 benchmarks due to the current rule  (Platform Clock must be enabled for Windows 8/8.1/10)) 

 

After talking to the developper this will be modified to avoid confusion:

- Skylake and newer Intel CPU subs don't need the platform clock to be enabled

- Pre Skylake CPUs will sport the rule of: Platform Clock must be enabled for Windows 8/8.1/10 and sortlike Server OSses (2012 and newer)

- AMD users will have to enable the platform clock on Win8/8.1/10 and sortlike Server OSses (Server 2012 and newer)

 

in case you run an Intel Skylake or newer generation CPU on a server OS and the HPET timer warning pops up you need to enable the platform clock

 

To those that got their score pulled on Skylake or newer CPUs, plz re-submit, sorry for any inconvenience caused
