November 8, 201212 yr For those who want to give it a try: http://tiny.cc/3tlgnw Why a -snip- ? Was meant to be a PM lol.
November 9, 201212 yr there is no official statement yet, so I guess so if you want to pull a K404 on yourself, you can start using the new wrapper hoping that one day it will get approved, bench 20 cards with it and wait for Lord Massman to say "no" Edited November 9, 201212 yr by TaPaKaH
November 9, 201212 yr bench 20 cards with it and wait for Lord Massman to say "no" I'll book a flight to TW in that case =))
November 17, 201212 yr Works great in all aspects so far, until I submit the file: Invalid data file: Unable to read Aquamark data file. Also, I got confused when the directory on the desktop used the AQ3 icon and initially couldn't find my screenshot.

Also, I got confused when the directory on the desktop used the AQ3 icon and initially couldn't find my screenshot. Mate you can't submit the file yet, it uses a different format and we have to wait for Devroush to write his part of the code. Which OS have you been testing it on?
November 18, 201212 yr i just gave it a try with windows 7 and it halfed my score but im yet to try with XP
November 18, 201212 yr it halfed my score Compared to what? Old wrapper vs new vs none on same OS |or| 7 vs XP
November 18, 201212 yr Mate you can't submit the file yet, it uses a different format and we have to wait for Devroush to write his part of the code. Which OS have you been testing it on? Makes sense I just ran it on my daily rig without issue, Win7 64-bit.
November 18, 201212 yr Compared to what? Old wrapper vs new vs none on same OS |or| 7 vs XP new wrapper halfed my score vs old wrapper on the same OS but i only run it once, i will give it another try a bit later on with both XP and 7 once i've got the chance
November 21, 201212 yr Author What would people think if I suggested that AM3 is closed to new submissions until the new wrapper is released?
November 22, 201212 yr What would people think if I suggested that AM3 is closed to new submissions until the new wrapper is released? Haven't seen anyone uploading AQ3 anyway
December 17, 201212 yr Hey Genieben, is your version of the wrapper still planned to be accepted? Any idea when? Thanks for your work on it.
December 18, 201212 yr Does genieben's wrapper need .NET 4.0 too? The current wrapper doesn't install .NET 4 on XP for me so I can't use it...there is no .NET installer for 4 that is fully offline either AFAIK.
December 18, 201212 yr No .net4 crap: http://hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=207241&postcount=6 I'm pretty certain there is an offline installer for .net4. I never connect my benching rigs to the internet, so I know I got it loaded by USB in the past.
December 18, 201212 yr Hey Genieben, is your version of the wrapper still planned to be accepted? I have to fix something but I won't be having proper time for it untill after Christmas. Does genieben's wrapper need .NET 4.0 too? The current wrapper doesn't install .NET 4 on XP for me so I can't use it...there is no .NET installer for 4 that is fully offline either AFAIK. - No dependencies. - There is 4.0 and 4.0CP, latter being used by 'old' wrapper. AFAIK 4.0CP does have a fully offline version BUT unlike previous versions of .NET it's doesn't bundle previous versions, so you need full 3.5 first. - There is a download link for current version that you can try.
December 20, 201212 yr FYI Beepbeep2, the file I use to get .net4 on my benching rigs without any network connectivity is dotnetfx40_full_x86_x64. It is 49,268KB in size. Dunno if that helps you, but I don't do anything special to get it working. I do have the offline versions for the other .net installs as well, so maybe some things require those also. Dunno.
December 31, 201212 yr Author Any news on a release date? (so people can upload old AM3 files while they're still valid)
January 1, 201312 yr Found a workaround for the low score with old wrapper bug. Join Overclockers benching team to get it. I kid. Happy New Year... When the wrapper launches the benchmark it launches a couple additional tasks you can view in task manager. Set these additional tasks to one core affinity and low priority. Score through wrapper is then equal to running aquamark directly. Alt+Tab out of aquamark to enter task manager and apply affinity/priority on other tasks. Edited January 1, 201312 yr by I.M.O.G.
January 1, 201312 yr @K404. Wrapper itself works, it's all about sending the scores to the server now, hopefully it's done quick so I can move back to PCMark05. If you want to play it safe, don't sit on old scores too much. Found a workaround for the low score with old wrapper bug. Join Overclockers benching team to get it. It's the nature of .NET, last time I checked it used atleast 10 different assemblies, at some point it also unpacks another app.
