June 20, 201014 yr Crew Another suggestion about the achievements placement. Please, put the manufacture achievements (i.e. AMD, Intel, NVIDIA and ATI) in one line. Otherwise the page body is a bit too long for a comfortable view.
June 20, 201014 yr Crew You can start looking for AMD K5 benches for the long Spi32M But I agree about the link on the results.
June 22, 201014 yr Author writing queries for the socket king/guru/junkie achievements at the moment. I'm using the socket characteristic of the cpu model for this achievement, not the mainboard model. This means that you can get achievements by using an AM3 cpu on an AM2 mainboard. The alternative is to go by mainboard socket characteristic, but this will require people to select a motherboard model. In addition, it doesn't solve the socket combination problem: there are socket convertors out there as well. Imho, the first alternative (go by cpu socket characteristic) is the best alternative
June 22, 201014 yr Author 939 - yes 754 - yes (close) AM2 - yes 940 - yes AM2+ - yes (close) AM3 - no
June 22, 201014 yr 939 - yes754 - yes (close) AM2 - yes 940 - yes AM2+ - yes (close) AM3 - no Uhh, I have am2+ as well? LOL. Ahh, I forgot I still have some work to do on 754 Will do it next month:D
June 22, 201014 yr Crew Imho, the first alternative (go by cpu socket characteristic) is the best alternativeI completely agree with this one. Sometimes socket converters are the part of the game in pushing the CPU to the edge so it doesn't have anything about the CPU itself.
June 22, 201014 yr CAn't both be implemented? I mean... you go by motherboard first, and if there's no mobo info, you go by the CPU?
June 22, 201014 yr Crew FWIW? The motherboard is inprecise - so why don't just use the more accurate one instead of implementing two methods?
June 22, 201014 yr Author CAn't both be implemented? I mean... you go by motherboard first, and if there's no mobo info, you go by the CPU? It's an incredibly complicated workaround since mb socket can differ from cpu socket.
June 22, 201014 yr Maybe you can add some box for the sockets this applies to - like "socket xxx to yyy adapter used".
June 22, 201014 yr Crew Still too complicated. And once again - FWIW? If I don't fill up the MoBo info cause I'm lazy, I won't be able to get the achievement? Also, this splits competition into too many classes. As Massman said much more than once - "don't implement a rule that is too hard to trace out". The CPU socket is easy to tell - it's CPU-Z. Let's take the socket 5 and socket 7. Can you tell whether a certain result was achieved with a socket adapter or not? CPU-Z is too buggy when working with old hardware. It can't even detect the multiplier though third-party software is able in the same case.
June 23, 201014 yr Author Maybe you can add some box for the sockets this applies to - like "socket xxx to yyy adapter used". Technically, yes ... but for what purpose? Solution A: use CPU characterisic + risk for socket convertors (minor issue) Solution B: use MB characteristic + risk for socket convertors + necessity to add MB info (bigger issue) Solution C: use MB characteristic + CPU characteristic + socket convertor checkbox + risk for socket convertors + write code in case MB isn't equal to CPU (huge workload) So, CPU socket it is
June 23, 201014 yr Nice It ain't still effective ? (nb: don't show yur sig too much Frederick ^^) About that exactly, wandering how to distinguish the best achievement ? I'm perplex for some of them
June 23, 201014 yr hey Thor, notice anything special about my sig? Signature engine v3 is in development, it shows your best or last achievement in the sig.
June 23, 201014 yr Oh as I'm here When available, will we need to use a default template again or it will be automatically implemented in ours ? (sorry if it's a stupid question... )
June 23, 201014 yr Sure I understand Another detail I wanna mention there, keep it clear like it is... I think, and I doubt to be on my own, it must stay easy to read and have the most important stuffs of an OCer profile in that sig Thanks for everything Frederick.
June 24, 201014 yr Crew Yes, it's not easy to define "best" achievement. I think for the first implementation we will let the user choose between last achievement or highest level achievement. Signature engine v3 is unpolished so not public.Hm, the "socket king" achievements won't have a level (or two levels - the guru and king) but they are more likely than the medals or cooling for example. So it would be nice to select manually, if possible.
June 24, 201014 yr How about adding a hyperlink to the achievements. It can take you to a page which would showcase the results users who have these special/unique achievements. It would be comical to view these 5+ hour results... I just don't know where to find them. EDIT: I notice that the hyperlink takes you to a list of members, I was more or less looking for the actual results. Kinda like the world record page. +1 for this! Achievements should showcase the result(s) that a person submitted in order to get this achievement
June 24, 201014 yr +1 for this!Achievements should showcase the result(s) that a person submitted in order to get this achievement I completely agree with you.
