OVIZ Hardware Lab Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) ok - than the Use of ES is allowed when the product is officially released - I understand. But what about the fact that this ES has a feature, that normal 61XX (AMD Opteron / Magny Cours) do not have. The AMD Opteron 6180SE has the highest available multiplier of the officialy released CPUs of this lineup: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Opteron%206180%20SE%20-%20OS6180YETCEGO.html The Multiplier of the 6180SE is 12.5x. There is no officialy available AMD Opteron 61XX with a multiplier of 18x. I don't think that it is fair to use this CPU in an official competition because as I said before it is very easy to overclock an Opteron just by the multiplier because they have a lot of "headroom" @stock voltages. It is really difficult to change all the different settings (Bus - speed, HT-Link, DRAM - Speed, DRAM - Timings, etc.) to get a higher result with a fixed multiplier...

Christian Ney Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 ok - than the Use of ES is allowed when the product is officially released - I understand. No, The use of ES is allowed for points in the XOL and EOL when it's no more ''the current gen'', for exemple: I7 3960X ES: not allowed for points I7 990X ES. allowed for points I don't think that it is fair to use this CPU in an official competition because as I said before it is very easy to overclock an Opteron just by the multiplier because they have a lot of "headroom" @stock voltages. It is really difficult to change all the different settings (Bus - speed, HT-Link, DRAM - Speed, DRAM - Timings, etc.) to get a higher result with a fixed multiplier... Will check with the Staff if we add an ''Opteron 61xx Unlocked'' to the database. But I don't think so Quote
OVIZ Hardware Lab Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) When the result was submitted the 61xx was the "current" line and the "new" line (62xx) was just presented (14th of November 2011) but isn't available yet ;-)... A 61-1 CPU can just be anything. An Intel 990X ES is an Intel 990X and it is now officialy available. An unlocked "AMD Opteron 61-1" isn't available and will not be available officialy. In this case it is more like a prototype. And "61-1" can't be categorized or put to a certain product (e.g. 6176, etc.) The use of these CPUs allow the submission of more results than allowed and make the work for you more difficult. What if there will be an Intel CPU that is locked even as an ES. And one person has an unlocked version of this CPU. Normaly it would be no problem for him to take an advantage of this. With the new revision this user gets a lot of points for himself (59.8) and for his team (55.0) with his submission I think you and the staff have to check this very good...

dhenzjhen Posted December 3, 2011 Posted December 3, 2011 I want my points back please throw me to whatever league =) Quote
knopflerbruce Posted December 4, 2011 Posted December 4, 2011 IMO there should be a separate category for this chip. We made one for the i7 940 Boomfield B0's that were unlocked... so it's been done before. As for letting this chip get global boints... that's not quite fair, as there is no equivalent retail model available (with unlocked multiplier). Quote
hokiealumnus Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Hahaha...I'll need a LOT of luck. On the plus side, I thought I'd end up next to last. Instead, I'm next to next to last. It's one better than expected. Quote
Christian Ney Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Okayy, I just unchecked the ''I do NOT want points for this submission. This submission should not contribute to my league position.'' + recalculate rank/points for each submissions of each users one by one. Let me know if I missed some. Quote
hokiealumnus Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Darnit Christian, now I am next to last. Way to kill my hopes & dreams. Quote
RawZ Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 Nice, 6th from bottom LOL. Lots of work to do now. Want to combine points hokie? Quote
OVIZ Hardware Lab Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 All moved to pro oc ...and what about him? http://www.hwbot.org/user/patriot/ the CPU used for the submissions is not an AMD Opteron 6164 HE http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-Opteron%206164%20HE%20-%20OS6164VATCEGO.html Quote
