April 9, 201114 yr Don't forget NF4 chipped 754 boards have PCI-E slots for cards. That's the reason for suggesting two different classes for the PCMark 05 and 3DMark 01 benches. The "any video card permitted" class would allow the submission of scores earned with PCI-e cards... While the "limited to AGP and plain PCI video cards" class would not include PCI-e cards. That way everyone would have a chance to compete on a more level playing field - unless I've missed something there...?

April 10, 201114 yr Isnt PCMark more about storage anyway? No need to separate GPUs? I'm thinking the following is a good set of benchmarks: 01/PCI 01/AGP 01/PCIE PCMark05/ANY superpi 32m wprime 1024m ...although I'm not sure if it's a good idea to have that many long benchmarks (3). Maybe wprime 32m instead?

That way everyone would have a chance to compete on a more level playing field - unless I've missed something there...? I see the point you're making here. As for longer bench runs, again we have two comps already running the 32M Super PI bench and the 1024M WPrime is a suggestion for a longer run. Here's a thought - A real challenge for this socket would be MaxxMem since 754 doesn't support dual channel RAM. If you can get a good score there, you've really done something.
April 11, 201114 yr huhu then I am fucked. I really need to find a s478 board that can resist me... Score s478 board : 7 Dead - 1 Alive (But it's a DELL board -.-)
April 11, 201114 yr lol.... I need to find and fix why series of hardware die asap Boards who died my hands : s478 => 7 socket 7 => 1 LGA775 => 1 (ir's normal it was an Acer board ) CPUs who died in my hands : s462 (aka Socket A) => 13 s478 => 1 s370 => 1 s462 CPUs and s478 Boards have a problem with my face
April 11, 201114 yr s462 CPU is like shit ^^ The core dies to easy if you mount the cooler too hard. Killed a few ones. But can't tell you why and how you manage to kill that many boards same cpu each time ? and how are they killed ? blowing mosfets or?
April 11, 201114 yr Not the same cpu, but the same psu I don't remember, but one died cause of the BIOS, one the power design burst, one has the clockgen that died, one is because she killed 3 cpus so I decided that this one is dead ..... But all other 71 Motherboards I have are alive
April 15, 201114 yr I have been looking at the 462 best scores and the 1st one, I believe is for an Athlon 64 3200+ not a 462 socket. In the description there is a mention to Athlon 64. Also the result might seem a little too high for a 462/ATI9800 combination. Actually correcting the processor will not change any points, it is just to be sure what is the current 462 record for 3d01.
April 15, 201114 yr I killed my best s.A chip in the last competition. The mount was too hard and it ended with a cracked core. It's easy to kill such a naked chip if you're not careful enough.
April 15, 201114 yr I'm wondering if I should try 478 this weekend... no idea how to OC this platform, though. Ln2 should help. Then I can try some more 939 action later, 57k shouldn't be too hard really.

April 17, 201114 yr Author i can't post s370 result, we can't create any team Please PM me the details of the new team you want to create (name, forum, etc). I'll create it manually so you can join and manage it.
April 28, 201114 yr Can we submit results on 30-th and if yes to what GMT? I still wait for my gpu to come
May 1, 201114 yr This was a great competition. Congrats to PCGH. Thanks to all the other teams for the good time.
May 1, 201114 yr Author Nice win PCGH! Also nice to see no less than 3 ancient platform records being smashed. Here are the new platform records for s939, s370 and s478! [hwbot=2155953]submission[/hwbot] [hwbot=2157821]submission[/hwbot] [hwbot=2162823]submission[/hwbot]
