The official HWBOT OC Challenge November 2011 thread.

[Massman]

So.

 

1) Overclock AMD K6

2) Win Bulldozer

 

[Hondacity]

what is k6? lol

[Luebke]

last time in the k8-stage k9-cpus were allowed. whats about this time?

[Massman]

What do you mean ?

[Luebke]

the dualcores like athlon x2: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K9

k8 is singelcore socket 754 and 939, isn´t it?

[Massman]

K9 was never used, iirc.

[Luebke]

ah ok. german wikipedia makes a difference between k8 (=singel core) and k9 (=dual core)

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_K9

good to know i needn´t try to oc my s754...^^

 

thx

 

btw: good idea to post the best results for the cpus at the competition side

I have a question... the prize will be sended to other countries like Argentina?

Thanks!!

Will be very tough to beat Turricans record. The one who crack the 800Mhz mark probably deserves the price.

Yes.

[Chi11ed]

Quick Questioin, For the 3DMark 01, Stage 5 i think it is, Is a Laptop GPU (mobile GPU) considered to be IGP? For example the GT 550M, HD6870M etc. Thanks

[Lordred]

Are the Bulldozers considered part of Vision? or just the APU's?

[Luebke]

i guess bulldozer makes sense, doesn´t it?

in the list of actual records is the bulldozer shown...

I was only curious as the APU is the only one that has the Vision bus

[OptyTrooper]

OC forums is taking this comp. We are too strong for you!

[Christian Ney]

lol

[OptyTrooper]

lol

Like that huh?

[Rasparthe]

Opty you ever figure out how to validate your P5A board with a CPUz higher than version 152? I saw you had the same trouble I'm having saving/submitting a CPUz validation. I can do it only for version 152 or earlier. Problem being you can't submit validation files that old any longer.

 

Mods: Any suggestions on how I can submit using a P5A board if you cannot use CPUz because it doesn't save the file. I have a screen shot showing the valid is that enough?

[Christian Ney]

I have the same problem as well with the GA-5AX so far with Pentium 1/MMX and Cyrix . Will check with AMD K6-2 soon

[OptyTrooper]

Rasparthe,

 

I gave up trying w/K6 for that very reason.

[Massman]

Validation links are an absolute requirement for this benchmark.

 

As Christian explained it to me, this seems to be a chipset-specific issue. I think Frank (developer of CPU-Z) should be able to fix this quite easily, so I suggested I'll contact him about this issue. But I fear the solution will not arrive before the end of this competition. Other Socket7 boards seem to work fine, though.

[OptyTrooper]

I contacted him almost 2 years ago Massman and he did not fix it. Just like the "invalid" K7 issue.

[Rasparthe]

I have contacted him as well and no response. The forums look like a morgue. I see that others have just posted a link to another chip for the submission and used a screenshot. Also I do have a validation file....its just 152.

[Massman]

The scores in the competition are all v1.58 ?

[Rasparthe]

No, I meant in other P5A subs, not necessarily in this competition. But looking back through the last 6 months I see that only one guy is responsible for all the CPUz validations for P5A.
