Calathea Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 This guy surfaced for 1 or 2 years ago on local swedish forum and claimed he had a 5900 MHz 2600k, right when people where stuck with the first x53 multi cpus. Sure, not impossible, but as we know very, very hard to come by. No benchmarks or anything else at all other than cpu-z validation. Cpu was already sold when I asked to buy it from him. He also posted a result here on hwbot with E8400 @ 6174 MHz... AIR-cooled. Yeah right. http://hwbot.org/submission/2291016_xroo_cpu_frequency_core_2_e8400_(3.0ghz)_6174_mhz Today I saw him posting an old result with his E8400, 6,7 GHz @ 743 fsb. http://valid.canardpc.com/2381309 Well, this last result really pushes the "plausible" to pure bunnyextraction. I don't know the guy and have not asked him about this, but I'm very curious how he cheated CPU-Z. I thought cpu-z was safe with s775? But 743 MHz fsb is quite a lot more than I'm willing to believe... What do you guys make of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've had doubts about CPU-Z safety for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 looks like a fake, time difference between his 'air' and 'LN2' runs is 10mins, plus the FSB numbers look a bit too even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3mox Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 xroo commented on his own score: 479 days ago – 5 cans of freeze spray and voila! ~2 minutes of runtime until it died. With freeze spray he had max -65 F / ~-53*C. But yeah i think too that the numbers are too even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mutt Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I asked him on a swedish forum what cooling he used for the 6.7 result and he claims that he used freeze spray for that too. The funny thing is that I bought the CPU, RAM and motherboard from a guy that bought it from him and with cascade cooling(-90c) and I was nowhere near that result. Those RAMs is good for 595mhz. That guy is clearly cheating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chispy Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 743 number looks a tiny bit off to the left if you use zoom in see closely the number do not match perfectly align with the other ones , that's a pointer for me it might be phothoChoped .............LOL as fake as Pamela Anderson Boobs !

TASOS Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Another odd thing is , that he always have perfectly rounded numbers on fsb. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators websmile Posted January 6, 2014 Administrators Share Posted January 6, 2014 http://hwbot.org/submission/2291016_xroo_cpu_frequency_core_2_e8400_%283.0ghz%29_6174_mhz How about these 6174 mHZ on air? It is even linked in the startpost... - the 743 are there as well, but I do not know if these were subbed to hwbot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I blocked the submission. There's nothing we can do about the scores on the CPU-Z page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nassuz Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 What i hate moore than cheaters.......cheaters that WONT give up, pro cause they are too stupid to stop. Ban him,put him on a blacklist. Submitting fake scores on a international forum/database is someting different, what a jerk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) If you'll look at his FSB and HT speeds, you should see something like "743.14" or similar to that. CPU-Z shows the FSB and HT speeds with 2 decimal points but his "Validation" shot doesn't have it at all. The numbers do align as they should but the lack of decimal points is extremely suspect, even if it were dead on 743 it should still show "743.00" for his FSB speed and the same basic thing for his HT speed. I do know the program itself shows this and validations I believe show it too. Edited October 1, 2014 by Bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 If you OC a GPU far enough, it's instruction set and capabilities change. It's much much more than just an FPS increase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Antinomy Posted October 3, 2014 Crew Share Posted October 3, 2014 Bones, not exactly. For the new version it cut's decimals if it's 00. http://valid.canardpc.com/h7asb1 - not fake maybe it did show .00 with older versions, can't remember. Though the alignment should be to the center.
