December 3, 201113 yr 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...

December 3, 201113 yr 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
December 3, 201113 yr 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...

December 4, 201113 yr 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).
December 5, 201113 yr 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.
December 5, 201113 yr 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.
December 5, 201113 yr Nice, 6th from bottom LOL. Lots of work to do now. Want to combine points hokie?
December 6, 201113 yr 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

March 11, 201213 yr Author 3960X ES: http://hwbot.org/submission/2225066_delly_superpi_32m_core_i7_3960x_7min_9sec_625ms http://hwbot.org/submission/2237058_cast87_superpi_32m_core_i7_3960x_7min_7sec_19ms
March 11, 201213 yr Done! 9th Request to join the "Pro OC League" Motivation:- Affiliated with HKEPC forum which receives direct supports from manufacturers http://www.hkepc.com/ Thx, guys & thx to Karl for being so helpful !
March 11, 201213 yr oh noh kingpin is out temporarily. once kepler results come out, I bet he'll be number 4
March 11, 201213 yr Request to join the "Pro OC League" Motivation:- Affiliated with HKEPC forum which receives direct supports from manufacturers http://www.hkepc.com/ Thx, guys & thx to Karl for being so helpful ! Would this mean, whole of HKEPC team should be in Pro OC League???
March 12, 201213 yr Well, I think it's really a personnal choice, isn't it?! Yeah, I feel comfortable joining the Pro League now than b4. So, why not! Tough war begins...hahahahaha! Would this mean, whole of HKEPC team should be in Pro OC League???
March 12, 201213 yr Ya, it's more a personal choice (unless some really clear cases like working for vendor and have to set results for marketing)
