The official HWBOT OC Challenge April 2011 thread.

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...?

That seems pretty well thought out.

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?

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.

[Christian Ney]

C2Q Q9000 belongs to ? s478 or s479 ? Or I am fucked ?

 

[Strunkenbold]

C2Q Q9000 belongs to ? s478 or s479 ? Or I am fucked ?

 

Last one.

[Massman]

Socket P?

[Christian Ney]

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 -.-)

[Massman]

Heh, "but it's a dell".

 

Working Dell is worth as much as a dead board .

[Christian Ney]

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

[Turrican]

wtf? seems like you are a "killer".

[Cyph3r Smurf]

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?

[Christian Ney]

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

[egm_xt]

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.

[I.nfraR.ed]

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.

[knopflerbruce]

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.

[I.nfraR.ed]

I'll try to do some catch up

Please don't ;-)

[_0CooL_]

i can't post s370 result, we can't create any team

[Massman]

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.

[_0CooL_]

done by StrategosSan. Thanks for all ^^

[GunGod]

Can we submit results on 30-th and if yes to what GMT? I still wait for my gpu to come

[Mr.Scott]

Congrats to PCGH on your victory.

[egm_xt]

This was a great competition. Congrats to PCGH. Thanks to all the other teams for the good time.

[Massman]

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!
