Coldest Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 @ Massman Need to merge those two or move the highest one into the competition: http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2231504 http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2231517 Recalc wasn't done properly; Coldest is 3rd with 15pts.

xbeaTX Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Recalc wasn't done properly; Coldest is 3rd with 15pts. is amazing to discover now that the best run of the site with 580 cooled by H20 was beaten by a horrible run with ln2 for 35 pts -___- okay so ... I do not know whether to be happy for that I have shown or disappointed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_n00b Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 is amazing to discover now that the best run of the site with 580 cooled by H20 was beaten by a horrible run with ln2 for 35 pts -___- okay so ... I do not know whether to be happy for that I have shown or disappointed... Now that I've looked into your submission, your run does have greater efficiency compared to my friends' setup, If you managed another 40 -50Mhz or so you probably beat his score. Maybe it's time for you to step up your cooling mate? You're surely will get much better clocks under extreme cooling :) Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 not entirely satisfied with the fact you approve the use of throttling or even a program to do so... If the CPU is actually running at the reported frequency, what would be wrong with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsnubje Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 The fact that it's not ment to run on 8x in normal circumstances and is now forced by software. Next to that it's no proof of skill but of software knowledge. just feels a little like cheating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to that it's no proof of skill but of software knowledge. just feels a little like cheating. your logic is flawed, do you feel that a CPU pushed to 6Ghz is also cheating? what about a VGA card @ double its stock frequencies? 50% of overclocking is software knowledge and 100% of overclocking/under-clocking is taking hardware and making it do what it is not designed to do under normal circumstances by any means pessary with in the rules of the game!

Just as I am struggling with Pcmark07 , some will already know how to run it correctly. Maybe use some software to get a boost... I have got no clue how to do it... as I solely have to rely on raw CPU clocks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 @Christian Ney why? please edit? http://hwbot.org/submission/2229266_ cause you added the screenshot afterwards @ Massman, please check if a recalc or a check is needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROBN4LYFE Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Wow if i had known i could have used the bugged Bios I would have just started there...you don't even need software to do the 8x multiplier lol;) It's C-State flaw from not clearing the CMOS on the board after a BIOS flash. Like it was stated before it's not normal...but if you want to let that fly...by all means do what you do. I didn't submit it because I knew it wasn't right period, but now we see how you guys roll and how you stay ahead of everyone else...funny as hell:D!!! http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=2135818 Edited December 19, 2011 by PROBN4LYFE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 I don't understand the controversy. If the CPU is running 800MHz, how is validating that result wrong? Officially, the boards don't support 8x ratio. But then again, officially Intel doesn't support 110MHz BCLK either. Isn't "pushing the limits" what overclocking is all about? Be it pushing up or down ... it's all about getting hw to run at settings the vendor doesn't want to have it run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
