Massman Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hey all, I've been having a bit of fun with the database and pulled this chart from it. The unofficial mark means that I didn't put a lot of effort in taking out the false positives (eg: user indicated wrong motherboard), but these should be quite minimal. This chart shows the amount of unique overclockers that use a certain mainboard brand over time. Note: one person can use multiple brands! We can see that: - 1/2 overclockers use ASUS - 1/3 also use GIGABYTE This is pretty interesting, because it kind of points to the situation where a lot of people are convinced of the quality of an ASUS mainboard (well, 50% does not use one!), but more and more people will test a GIGABYTE mainboard too. Translated into a current situation: people may use M4E first, but then also use GIGABYTE for good 3DMark01. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanCutress Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Needs expanding in a vertical direction so we can see the nuances Google chart API will produce a nice graph. EVGA peaking from Lynnfield -> Gulftown is interesting. Would be nice to split others into ASRock/Biostar/ECS etc. to see what's what.

Massman Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Expanding in vertical direction? I could add more brands, but then the chart would become very messy, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanCutress Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just more height, so there's like 3cm per 10% rather than less than 1cm. e.g. April 2009 is hard to make out. It also gives space to add brands. Have you not got access or Origin? Makes very pretty/easy to read graphs. Excel is just bleh imo for this sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 No Access or Origin. Google charts APIs might be interesting for adding this kind of graphs to the frontpage, though. Need to look into that. Here's a more pertinent chart: what brand of mainboard people use for Xtreme overclocking. XOC defined as CPU or VGA on subzero cooling. 2007/2008 might be a tad erratic, 2009-2011 data is okay. Check out Evga's position in 2009!

TaPaKaH Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 (edited) does "other" mean include "empty" (no board vendor specified) submissions ? Edited June 19, 2011 by TaPaKaH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
