[erwinz]

wow very nice.. :)

[[XC] DragonOrta]

So we start from the points we currently have?

Or would points we get in a category that only nets us an additional 5 points only count for the additional 5 points, or the total points that our submission was worth on HWBot?

[Movieman]

Timing.:slobber:
I added app 42 points 10 days ago in wPrime!:D
Ok, time to crank up the clovers and march by Hassan's rig!:rofl:

[Charles Wirth]

All points added past the start of contest.

I'm registered under INJViper 8^) Registered just a couple minutes ago...

[[XC] gomeler]

Movieman I've got 2 single stages with your name on them :) So let me get this straight, to apply for the contest we have to add 50 points for XS @ hwbot.org ? Looks like it is time to see what I can crank out of my rigs.

[flclisgreat]

yeah i just registered to. have like no idea how to do this, lol. got the record for super pi for my cpu though : /

[xlink]

pure sex...

and I've never entered into that before either...

time to whip out the old PI system and abuse everything I can...



EDIT: If I have a video card not listed on their list, do I automatically win on that. They don't have a GeForce 6200 PCI

no, just drop a message in the HWBot forums, RB will be on holiday soon for 6 weeks

[massman]

Hehe, great contest Fugger :D

[Charles Wirth]

Any score updates guys?

[Shpoon]

You can't get points if you don't get in the top 5, correct?

Because I realized there's no way I'd get close to those guys....

If you get points for non-top 5 I'll all the benchmarks, but honestly...I have a oced 7900GT running at 690/790, waiting on some ramsinks so I can push the core over 700 and up the memory, an oced E6600 running at 3.1-3.2 (I know, poo, but whatever), and I'm getting 5.7k in '06...the 5th place in '06 is 2000 more :rolleyes:.

[flclisgreat]

i got 11.6 points. but those are for my cpu, i got first almost everything for my sempron 2800+. but other than that i don't think i can get any more points

[Charles Wirth]

So many catagories to get points in.

I was also thinking that the scores you submitted here on XS in the past would also be legal to submit to hwbot as long as you own the score.

[twiggy]

Yeah this contest isn't for people with crappy hardware.:(

[Shpoon]

I'm gonna try to get those ramsinks soon....and I'll temporarily voltmod my card to 1.55 (1.4 currently)...(I just hate seeing my idle temps go up..)

[Charles Wirth]

It can be done, just take some effort. Just think to yourself 4GB of ram...

[RichBa5tard]

That'd be a really good idea as you would be able to follow the contestants here:
http://www.hwbot.org/hallOfFame.do?type=member&teamId=3

At the end of the contest, just random pick a member with more than 50 points. :)

@Shpoon, no you do not need to be in the top 5. You need to be in the top 150. The more popular the benchapp is, the more points you get for a good oc (eg superpi >> pcmark05).

You need to be in the top 5 of a specific processor / videocard to earn extra points (hwpoints). eg, having the third E6600 in superpi will get you points too, even if your score isn't in the top 150.

Check the faq section of hwbot.org to know more about the algorithm.

[Charles Wirth]

Thanks for the clarification on those points RB

This contest was geared to anyone who wanted to take the time and try could compete.

[Shpoon]

I'll check later...(it's down right now).

But either top 5, top 150, or top 5 for your specific hardware to get points?

Ugh....I might be able to manage 2 points tops :p:

I'm gonna download all the old 3dmarks, I'll run them tommorow...

[RichBa5tard]

We're back up. Just moved to a dedicated server.

It might take up to 24 - 48 hours to make hwbot.org point to the new server. For those who can't wait that long:
http://213.193.228.70/

[[XC] gomeler]

I noticed the new IP, google links to the correct IP but when on the website the IP addie is listed rather than the URL. Glad to hear you have your own snappy server now :)

[PUTALE]

i am not sure how the score is done, so far no scoring update. BTW, do we have to enter ALL the benchmark to get the score or just get the top performance in the benchmarks to get score to 50 (seems impossible for my system)

[flclisgreat]

if i could get pcmark's to run i could enter them, and aquamark phails hard to. can't get anything to run.

no way am ever getting that many points. and i think thats the point of it. yay another way for the rich to get richer. woohoo


edit: is there any way i can get my points deleted or goten rid of?

[RichBa5tard]

No, read the faqs please if you are confused how points are handed out.

@flclisgreat: if you have an lower end pc, but overclocked like hell you'll recieve points too. If you don't have a high end pc, and it's not overclocked, what are doing at XS? :p:

[STEvil]

Acquired a Katmai P3 500, TNT 2 Pro, Asus P3B-F.

Time to get my 6ns 256's of SDRAM back for a start to some benching! 2 points at a time baby! lmao! :D

edit - AXIA* 1000 and KT7A-RAID as well!

There are so many fields to enter in, just look for the more obscure processors and videocards and try and snap up those points. Ask your friends if you can run a 30 minute test on their hardware and submit them under your name. Sometimes even a 0MHz overclock + OS tweaking will result in point-worthy scores.

[RichBa5tard]

That's the spirit! :toast:

[Martijn]

Over 30 points so far... This is easy :D



* Took me ~30 results though :p:

[Hassan]

started at 57 now at 152, so I even have a little buffer, will keep trying to add more points for the team... :)

[Sparky]

I'm gonna have to do this - once my new PSU comes in. Mine blew :( I'm running on tandem crap PSUs right now which are both about maxed out and I have nothing overclocked. Didn't realize my PC pulls that much juice :p:

[Rovtar]

ok i am on my way to 50 point

[flclisgreat]

i do have a low end pc (in sig). i do have most of the records for my cpu (except sandra didn't give me any points for getting 1st place) but it is a huge limiting factor for all the 3dmark's so i score way below what the records are for my card

[MikalCarbine]

I've been wanting to join the XS hwbot team, this just forced me too

I'll be entering my rig (below), my laptop, my friends rig (amd rig with x1900xtx) and his laptop too :toast:

Hopefully I'll rack up some nice points for the team

[INJViper]

I'm in the process of running every piece of hardware I own.....

[J-Mag]

Just outta curiosity what kind of rigs do you need up and running 24/7 to get 50points? It doesn't look like it is easy for the avg joe...

[flclisgreat]

it isn't. thats the whole point (imo)

get all of us to submit points for XS knowing most of us will never even get close to the 50 points needed. so in the end all the people with high end systems get even more stuff

[Shpoon]

Yup....rich get richer...

Well, I'll try, but I doubt I'll get close...my E6600 seems to have a low fsb wall, and my 7900GT is overclocked and still not making the cut...

I'll see if I can run it on an older rig (might not be able to, we'll see), but even if I got 1st in everything, that's only 28 points....

Edit: I'm gonna send people requests to run apps though...I'll get friends to run Spi and such...maybe if they have some obscure processor (P2 :p:) that's another 2 points.

Edit: @RB...what place do you have to be in to get points for a hardware score? I'm at 29th for my 7900GT, 0 points....

Update: So far I'm at 0 points for my submitted benchmarks :lol:

And I'm pretty sure my CPU has a low FSB wall....350FSB can boot to windows at 1.35ishV, 360 needs 1.45, can't even post at 370 at 1.55V...

[BenchZowner]

You could ask ( in a better manner than your previous post though ) for a minimum entrance points reduction.
If the requests for such action were high, I highly doubt that Fugger wouldn't lower the "entrance points".

Edit:
By the way, not every high-end pc owner is rich...I know a lot of people holding back their needs, and filling up their bank account cent after cent for months in order to get their new rig.

[J-Mag]

Yeah exactly, I have been noticing contests like this on other forums that reward people for having the best PC or in this case PCs... WTF!

Essentially, this does not help promote the contest. I know I haven't even bothered entering a few like this because I know it is just a waste of my time (and I have plenty to waste, so what does that tell ya?)

[Charles Wirth]

Please read back to RB's post, it is not hard to get points, it takes effort and I stated that at the start.

[Vapor]

A week or so ago, I had 53 points w/o a highend system.....it's since been whittled to ~40 as more people post better scores. It took effort, uploading all the scores I could find and pushing my hardware harder than I wanted to on a 24/7 install...but I did it.

Have faith and have fun.....it's good to see what kind of benchmarks you can muster, eh? ;)

[Lu523]

Think I will give it a try. My SuperPI did not get any points. Time to try something else.

[flclisgreat]

the only reason i am even throwing a fit is cause its a contest. if i saw a thread/post that asked me to do it just for the sake of doing it and getting XS more points i wouldn't even care and would have done it.

[MikalCarbine]

Couple Questions..

Can we submit old bench photos from previous builds of our rigs (ie different hardware)

Do you need to get a certain score in order to get points? (like hit under XX seconds on super pi)?

And for the contest, once we break 50 points, do we need to hold those points until the 14th?

[Charles Wirth]

If you want to help XS get more points anyway that would be cool. I figured keep the bar low and allow all with a working PC to participate and possibly win.

[flclisgreat]

50 points isn't exactly low. i highly doubt that i will reach even 20 points

[Charles Wirth]

Yes, you would need some buffer points to maintain 50 points on 2/14/2007

Yes, you may submit scores you posted here.

Oh, it's 50 as of the day, not reach 50 whenever?

Hmm...

Don't worry, I'll keep trying, I may be able to get XS 10 points or so, but hey, better than nothing...really bummed out about my CPU though. I had it at 3.1 for 24/7 use (lower than stock voltage), but to get any higher seems unreachable at any voltage...and looking at scores so far that's really holding me back...

Edit: I don't get pifast...how many digits are you supposed to compute?

Edit: Ya, 345FSB @ 1.3125V, 350-360 needs 1.4(high)-1.5(low), can't break anything but there....ass...

[Quentin]

E6600
Biostar Tforce P965 (Second hand)
Buffalo 2x512 PC6400 Cas 5 (Second hand)
x1800xt 256Mo (Second hand)

and DOD

~60 pts on hwbot with just the rig :)

Not really the most expensive rig ;)

[[XC] gomeler]

It doesn't take amazing hardware to get points in HWBot, I already ~9 points from one rig and I haven't even begin benching my sig rig yet. While 50 points may seem like a lot, this is a contest and this is also XtremeSystems. Look at the prize, 2 lots of 4 gigs of OCZ ram, that is atleast $800 worth of prizes to be split amonst 2 individuals. While it is true that not every rig will be able to net you 50 points, searching for 1-2 other rigs to help bolster your scores will greatly improve your odds. At first I myself thought that 50 points was a lot to ask for however I had never benched for HWBot before, now after doing some research 50 points seems to be very do-able, hell even 60-70 might be possible. Like everyone has said before, this is a contest at XS and it is going to require some effort so don't expect it to be a "no purchase necessary" drawing, you put in a bit and you'll bring out a lot. Now it is time for me to shutup and stop encouraging you guys and get back to insulating my mobo :p:

[flclisgreat]

Now it is time for me to shutup and stop encouraging you guys and get back to insulating my mobo :p:


omg! that is exactly what i was doing less than 3min ago...

damn thing won't give me more than 1.52 volts to my cpu. what a POS mobo

[Sparky]

So are the points handed out like in groups, like if you have a P3 that is way overclocked faster than most other P3's you can get some points for that while at the same time I can't really get points for a barely above stock opty 165?

If so, maybe I should do some old school overclocking on a couple of my folding rigs... make them go faster than most other systems of their kind :D In the end might even help out their folding speed some :)

[INJViper]

I broke out the old 540J and 560J that I had up for sale and benched 4511 with the 540J and 4503 with the 560J on air with the windows open last night while it was snowing... All I have to say is BRRRRRR! Its all about how far your willing to push it.... I'm waiting for my sig to change to reflect the points total so far... 17.1 Points not too shabby for starting a couple days ago..

[flclisgreat]

! Its all about how far your willing to push it....

oh i pushed it a little.

i did this (http://www.ocinside.de/go_e.html?http://www.ocinside.de/html/workshop/am2pinmod/amd_socket_am2_pinmod.html). on the only rig i have. it sorta worked. it made the regular voltage 1.50, but if i changed it it goes to what i set it at, so i couldn't get more than 1.52v to the cpu

[Revv23]

fine - i am getting prepped now.. :)

its too bad this wasnt a day earlier, i could have taken some records on my AMD system too - hopefully just one system will be enough for 50 pts...

[Martijn]

Done!!! Gotta love those old P3s I had lying around. I will continue to bench for XS and gather more points. I need a buffer badly now :)

Yes, that's exactly how you get some points with cheap hardware.

I bet there are a lot of points to be earned for those who still have a good overclocking xp1800+ lying around. ;)

By the way, this guy achieved 175 points (http://www.hwbot.org/hwbot.post.do?postId=375) without any expensive hardware. The most expensive item he used was probably a 4200+ X2.

Just like I said more of a little
It been humiliating enough for me to bench my 6600DRR2 but I did it coz I found some challenge to get to the top spot right know I can add 20point(guaranteed top spot in all benches ) with my 1GHZ Celeron and radeon 9200 AGP but I find it even more humiliating

[jimwah]

Any ideas when, or how stats get updated; for example I've submitted a few results and I'm in positions where some points should be awarded, but I haven't yet recieved any :shrug: I notice some of my results also have an n/a next to them, not an overall position, are these results yet to be updated & awarded?

Although some people have these n/a results & have been awarded points, like on this page for my 1.1 Celly: linky to HWbot results (http://213.193.228.70/searchResults.do?direction=&applicationId=13&teamId=0&userName=&gpu=&cpu=Pentium+3+Celeron+1.1A+Ghz+Tualatin&minScore=&maxScore=&gpuId=0&cpuId=1038&offset=0&dateFrom=&dateUntil=&minGpuCoreFreq=&maxGpuCoreFreq=&minGpuMemFreq=&maxGpuMemFreq=&minCpuFreq=&maxCpuFreq=&system=&minTotalPoints=) The guy now in 3rd has an n/a, but has been awarded silver.

Done!!! Gotta love those old P3s I had lying around.

I was soo close to beating your P3 1.0Ghz CPU-Z score :p: 1Mhz in it! :D

ps -Great competition, & thanks for your help so far RichBa5tard :up:

[RichBa5tard]

n/a means it's hasn't received a global rank. Only your best result gets ranked globally. It also means you won't receive global points for it.

It does not mean you can't get hw points for it.

eg. you have 2 results:
3Dmark01 20000 points with R9800 Pro
globally ranked 3406th = no points (not in top 150)
hw rank 10th 9800Pro = no points (not in top 5)

3Dmark01 6000 points with GF2 Pro
globally ranked n/a (because your best 3d01 score is with r9800) = no points
hw rank 2nd = 1.4 points (in top 5)

=> the GF2Pro result will not have a global rank, but still has points because of the hwpoints.

Hey RB there is no category for wprime on the P4 560 series. There is one for the 540 but not for the 560. I've submitted a wprime 32m and 1024m score on my 560 but since there is no category for it I haven't received my points yet :D In a day or so I will be submitting my #1 place 540 scores for wprime 32m and 1024m.

Tonight is gonna be a cold late bench night with the window open..... Brrrr!

Too bad my overclocked K6 rig is back at home :(

[phelan1777]

I just registered, my first real competition with my rig, and I have not even tried my second GTS yet............:-P

Well I was getting 40FPS in Canyon Flight with my current OC............

So wish me luck, will see what I can get this weekend. if I can register right :-P

[Martijn]

I was just wondering... That ram, it is from the Gold Series, right? PC2 4200? :)

[jimwah]

I'm off the blocks with about 10 points so far, and I'm cleaning up my old Abit KT7 for a bit of T-bird benching tomorrow hopefully. I don't think my sigs updated just yet, but I'm making some progress, and looking forward to the weekend :D

[Philly_Boy]

OK. . .I just registered as philly_boy. Tomorrow I'll put the reviews on hold and set up my SLi rig and see where it takes me. I'll try benching single and Sli cards. Phelan and INJViper will get together tomorrow as well as next week so we'll have lots of parts to mix and match when we bench.

Now if only the parts for my Intel test bed would arrive. . . .

[Lu523]

I have managed to get 6 points so far.

[flclisgreat]

oww man. i just looked and it seams that i will be busting out the 533mhz celeron, to overclock it :D

[Vett95wLT4]

say i joined on the 27th and i had 0 points, now i looked and it says i have 133 points, that mean im already in random drawing for the 4 gigs :confused:

Bahh sounds like the competition is heating up :(

[Lu523]

With the way I am going you want have to worry about me. I will say that this is a good learning tool for me. I was haveing trouble overclocking my graphics card, but found the right tools to do it. I currently have 10 points. Will keep pushing to see what I can do.

OK. . .I just registered as philly_boy. Tomorrow I'll put the reviews on hold and set up my SLi rig and see where it takes me. I'll try benching single and Sli cards. Phelan and INJViper will get together tomorrow as well as next week so we'll have lots of parts to mix and match when we bench.

Now if only the parts for my Intel test bed would arrive. . . .

You're in Yardley... nice I'm 10mins away in Solebury/New Hope

[THRASHER2]

By the way, this guy achieved 175 points (http://www.hwbot.org/hwbot.post.do?postId=375) without any expensive hardware. The most expensive item he used was probably a 4200+ X2.
Thanks RichBa5tard :woot:

[[XC] gomeler]

Looks like this competition is helping XS crush Team OCX, almost a 500 point margin now.

[INJViper]

Well I should have 8-10 more points tonight depending on how soon RB creates the 560 wprime categories.. 8^)

[lionel57000]

it s hard , but i am on way .....

[Fr3ak]

May I ask how exactly CPU-Z is being used as a bench?
From what it looks like you only get points for the highest Mhz overall, but not in categories of specific CPUs.
Am I just too stupid to find the right stuff or is it really like that?
Anyway, I am in. Getting a ln2/dry ice container tomorrow, so I can play around. Hopefully I will have the time to.

There are categories for each specific CPU and top 5 get points
Tell me what CPU you want and I will get you the rank

Very cool. . .I am up in New Hope all the time! What are you doing later tonight? Phelan, INJViper and I will be gathering to plan a strategy for this contest. Care to join us?

[funkflix]

Will try it, but don't think i have a chance, bcs. i already published 80% of my results i have.. I'm at 128 points atm., 3 points less then captured on ur screen, so i will need 53 points.. ?! :p:

If i have the 53 points, where i must post them? Or what else i have to do?

I have 5th position in xs.org team! :D

[kiwi]

Ohh only new submissions? :( I have submitted most of my scores already

[[XC] gomeler]

Still waiting for HWBot to refresh with my newest scores, should have pushed me into the 35 point range. A shame my 7900GTO can't compete in the 3DMark series, too bad this contest started after the 8800 era :p: Now time to desperately scrounge around for some points to push me past 50.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Yaarrrrr! Gomeler, you pushed me into 6th and 7th in wPrime 32m and 1024m! Ya scurvy dog! I just need a SS, so I can show you what this chip can really do.

[Lu523]

I was wrong. Only have 1.5 points. Got away to go. That and the sig is not updateing.

I couldn't pass up taking the golden trophies :cool: I'd be more than willing to let you bench on my station, you just have to drive down to Atlanta. Still waiting for the points to update, getting close to 50 and still have 2 systems left to bench :D

What part of Atlanta? I am in that area.

It is really hard for us 5 top pointers in xs team, to get this 50 points.. thats unfair.. :p:

[[XC] gomeler]

I live around the Georgia Tech Campus. Hit me up with a PM :)

I think HWBot died or something, none of the Hall of Fame records are working, everything is out of order. Looks like we are abusing the new server.

[RichBa5tard]

Nah, the benchapp hall of fame has been flaky all month, but I've finally found out why and was able to fix it. :banana:

Hey RB,

Where can I send a request for the wprime P4 560 categories to be added? There's categories for the 540 but not the 560.

Thanks

INJViper

[I_G]

New hardware coming. Count me in.

[Revv23]

ive been looking, i can get on front page of any bench in my class, but i cant get in the points for any of em ... for example ive got a top 15 pifast score for e6400... just not good enough. :(

Too bad, looks like 50pts is way out of my reach.

Edit - Too note - Hwbot is really addicting, i've never been one to run all of the benches, i usually just see how i compete in pi or 3dmark01, but here i am now running 7 or 8 different benches praying one of them is a winner haha. :) Maybe i should go find a DICE pot lol. :p: Shouldnt be too hard to make one from what you find at lowes... lets see how far $15 can take me :p:

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Revv, try wPrime.

[INJViper]

Too bad, looks like 50pts is way out of my reach.

Yeah 50 points is a lot harder than I thought it would be....

You are also very correct that hwbot is seriously addicting...

[mrlobber]

Ok, a question: I'm on another team atm, can I temporarily join the XS team, gather those 50 points, and then... well... leave back to my original team after the competition ends? :p: :D

Edit: just did the research, I might be up for some 55 points, goals are set, time to start benching :toast:

[Quentin]

On the next hwbot update : It will done

just for the hell of it I ran 01 on my work PC.

A Dell GX260 with a P$ 2.4 in it, and 1GB of ram...........

scored 1500 in 01 HAHAHAHAHAHA:woot:

[Sparky]

after this weekend I will finally have my new PSU so I'll be able to OC again. These dual cheapo PSUs I'm currently patched together with doesn't allow for any :rolleyes:

Next week, open that window wide, freeze myself, and OC the heck out of this system :D

New CPU coming. I'll hook up my phase change and get some points for the team. :)

And maybe bench outside (-20C :p:) to get better GPU overclocks :D

[RichBa5tard]

You have a GB of RAM?

I've got 2. :p:

[phelan1777]

I've got 2. :p:
well run o1 and tell me what you get, I have on-board video :-(

[Revv23]

Hey well i guess i was wrong, since im in the top 150 pifast i got 2 pts haha! :)

far far away from 50 lol.

I want that ram sooo bad though!! Maybe ill go home this weekend to pick up some more hardware... :D

[Rovtar]

rofl i need some more hardware :)

[rick_fx]

How many people have achieved 50 points since the beginning of the contest, RichBa5tard? :)

but at 00h00 or 23h59 ?

[jimwah]

You are also very correct that hwbot is seriously addicting...

:fact: I agree - must...get...more..medals!

I was slightly sad to see a williamette 1.7Ghz go in the bin yesterday, before I'd had a chance to bench it. That's the first time I've mourned the loss of a meagre 1.7ghz celeron in my life. Plus, my old 1Ghz thunderbird setup was dead, but I have some Dual Xeon benching planned over the weekend to make up for it :D Almost 30 points now..!

[Martijn]

Does that one minute matter? I assume 00:00 :)

[Sparky]

Closing in on 10 points :D Didn't realize how many overclocking options I was used to until I went in the BIOS's of several of these systems - there is like nothing there! :eek:

At any rate, after this weekend my main rig will be ready and I'm set to push it to its limits :fact: and freeze to death in the process, gonna open the window wide to keep temps down :p:

[phelan1777]

AS many of us know, Philly_boy is working on G80 Block reviews, but tonight he was introduced to XSOS Benching and well he is like a kid @ X-mas and benching away. Now if we can get him to get those scores to go towards the competition which he does know about.

He scored 10325 the first run, so there is tweaking to come and hardware to push.

[INJViper]

Yeah 10325 first run with low OC settings, a brand new XSOS install, and no tweaking... I say NOT BAD!!

[[XC] gomeler]

Bahh I need a copy of XSOS, asked nnstep for the 2k3 based revision. I've got the clocks to do decently in SPi but I have 0 tweaks :( Guess I'll have to just use pure brute force to do well.

Pretty time at Wprime :slobber:

I do a little better with more 200Mhz with my E6600 :confused:

this bench like higt memory frequency ?

what is the tweak ? :p:

[[XC] gomeler]

I was running on a clean install of XP Pro with all my 3D Benching stuff installed. I just booted into windows at 500x8 and ramped up the clocks till it was barely stable and then ran wPrime 2-3 times till I got my result. I think the memory was running 5-5-5-12 timings, can't remember and CPU-Z stopped reading the memory timings past 4200MHz for some reason. Hopefully I can drop both times a little bit with a fresh install, more volts, and more cold weather :)

i just went to the local pc shop and picked up 5 pci video cards for 15$ so tonight when my woman goes to work i'll see if any of them can get me some gold!!! a few years ago these cards were very pricey so at least they may get one more moment of glory before becoming decorations.

I really need to do that, would be hilarious to couple some crappy PCI cards with a blazing fast C2D and crank out some 3DMarks :cool:

[jimmyz]

these are pre heatsink era lol, but two of the cards are 3dfx with sli connector so i'm gonna see if i can make a cable, i can't play much till later tonight but i googled when i got home and they appear to be the kind that will do sli together. just no cable .

[jimwah]

Voodoo 2's in sli? :slobber: I see only funkflix managed to get an '01 score on hwbot with a pair so far ... I had wondered if they could manage an '01 run :)

[[XC] gomeler]

Wow Voodoo2 SLI would be amazing and lots of fun to play with. Goodluck with the cable, woul be great if you could get it working.

[Lu523]

I just spent the last few hour or so getting my system back up. I pushed it to hard with ATI Tray Tools and had to reinstall the drivers for my graphics card. I hope I can push more out of it.

[[XC] gomeler]

bah humbug ;) I'm going to try out the iso that DragonOrta sent me, maybe I'll manage some slightly faster times and I'll try to teach myself some SPi tweaks.. need more points.

ordered a cable earlier from e-bay (thanx lionel57000)hopefully it will be here by the 14th funny thing is i went crossfire about two weeks ago and had a :banana: :banana: of a time , never got it right and found out the reason was my 1900xtx i had since launchday died for some unknown reason. it would show up in windows device mgr. and crossfire saw it and ati tool saw it but when i would try to do anything 3-d even screensaver the pc would reboot? tried the cards 1 at a time and determined the xtx was dead ati is agreeing to rma it as i was dealing with their techs trying to figure it out. my 1 year warrenty expired the day before i submitted a ticket but they said no problem 1 day was fine.so i am stuck single card till the post office and ati work their magic.

[RichBa5tard]

More often now we have a dedicated server. Most stats are recalculated hourly.

hwbot schedules - how often are points/ranks recalculated? (http://www.hwbot.org/hwbot.post.do?postId=386)

[Fr3ak]

There are categories for each specific CPU and top 5 get points
Tell me what CPU you want and I will get you the rank


I was looking for CPU-Z AMD Sempron 64 2800+ rankings, but CPU-Z wasnt one of the benchmarks listed.

http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=CPU_550&name=Sempron+64+2800%2B

I submitted a CPU-Z link of the above CPU and all it shows is global ranking.

So I would be glad if you could point me into the right direction.

edit: is there any way we can start a listing of the amount of people entered in the competition? Perhaps create a special thread just so that people can "apply" so we can start doing the numbers and figuring our odds? I just need something to worry over the next 2 weeks :)

[raccoonone]

Hey his is fun, still only have like 3 points, but whatever=P

One question though, why do all of my wPrime results say that the Checksum is invalid???

[kemo]

I was looking for CPU-Z AMD Sempron 64 2800+ rankings, but CPU-Z wasnt one of the benchmarks listed.

http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=CPU_550&name=Sempron+64+2800%2B

I submitted a CPU-Z link of the above CPU and all it shows is global ranking.

So I would be glad if you could point me into the right direction.

All Sempron 64 2800+ results (not sorted)

http://www.hwbot.org/ResultBrowseByProcessor.do?cpuModelId=550

CPUz only

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/559/untitledyc9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

The only way I know to get it is to pick processors > Sempron 64 > you will find a small tab up there next to results change it to CPUz then click on the score in hwbot results then take compare CPU

Then when I take a look at your profile I found that you didn’t submit your result correctly as it says CPU unknown so you should edit it and in the CPU area you type Sempron then you select it from the list, don’t type it all by yourself

http://img501.imageshack.us/img501/8397/untitledgo6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)



Then you will get 2 points
Hopefully it helps

[Fr3ak]

Ok thanks for the help. I knew it said unknown CPU ID, but as I didnt find any CPU-Z shots for that cpu anyway, I didnt edit it. I think it worked this time, so thats another 2 points :)

Good if you can bench @ 3.05 GHZ and with some tweaking you will dominate all the Sempron results

[Fr3ak]

I could bench it at 3.1ghz and 3.2ghz wasnt my max, but unfortunately that cpu didnt survive the last CPU swap and I have no more screens of benches of it ;(

[INJViper]

[Charloz24]

50 points will be tough, but I'm slowly on the way! I'm just wondering why I'm not on Fugger's list?

[fastback88]

i am just wondering, could you lower the minimum number of needed points to like...30 thats would be much more manageable, without the top hardware, you need 15 number 1 results with old stuff to get 30 points....even that is tough

[[XC] gomeler]

I don't have anything that is close to being considered top hardware and I managed it and then some. Just look around for old hardware, it helps considerably. Every little 2 pointer will add up and eventually you'll get your 50. Shoot with your processor I could even be competitive in SPi, I'd kill for a 32B E6600. I'm stuck with a 32B E6400 instead :p:

Got my new corsair PSU finally! :woot: Now I can start doing some real benching. Overclocking old CPUs with crappy ECS mobos isn't too easy to do ;) I've got 10 points so far from those, I still have some more things I can do with them though.

[Martijn]

Charles, can you please update the first post with anyone entered/done?

[[XC] gomeler]

Yeah, it would be nice to see how the competition stands as of right. Perhaps we should all link our HWBot Sigs so we can keep a running tab?

[n00b 0f l337]

Nah he's keeping it at 50 points, and hoping for a few 50's and alot of trys, that will raise the XS Hwbot score enoguh to hold off OCX for maybe a few more weeks.

Hold OCX off? We've almost got a full 1K point gap between XS and OCX. The benefit of having a huge user group to pull results from :p: Since this contest started we've added ~700 HWBot points or so. I could see that gap widen even further as the days progress towards Feb 14th.

[INJViper]

Even after this contest is over I'm still gonna bench for XS cuz HWBot is super addicting....

[Hassan]

It'd be nice if you got 100 pts and then are granted two chances to win or 150 pts and three chances... :)

[[XC] gomeler]

Hmm good idea Hassan :p:

[flclisgreat]

i like the idea of 30 points entry into the contest more.

[[XC] gomeler]

30 points is too easy though.. we already have a bunch of people with 30+ points. This is XtremeSystems and the contest isn't meant to be easy, Fugger is giving away a combined 8GB of DDR2, that is atleast $900 worth of prizes, ~$450 per winner. 50 points isn't exactly an impossible task, asking for 100 points or even 75 might have been extremely impossible for most people but 50 points is possible for those that try hard enough. I should really stop trying to encourage you guys, lowers my odds of winning.

edit: just realized I broke 1k posts a few hours back.. awesome!

[flclisgreat]

but that isn't the point behind it. its to get as many points for xs as possible and still have few entries into the contest.

[[XC] gomeler]

Then feel good he didn't place the bar at 100 points :) Sometime this week I've got to try and crack 100 and bolster my current scores, people keep passing me.

[raccoonone]

50 seems fair to me, the most expensive piece of hardware I have is a E6400 and I've managed to get to 30 points so far:)

Thats what a good guy can do with a bit of imagination and determination. It don't take cherry picked and uber expensive stuff :applaud:
Thanks. I'm sure you're able to make it as well... :)

[INJViper]

I benched on my Lappy with a P3 700Mhz Coppermine and Ati Mobility 128 AGP2x last night... It doesn't take Top of the line hardware to get points..

[jimwah]

Get your coat on & get benching Sparky :p: We're in a good position with this variety of folders to muck about it with, it's just a case of getting the time to organise it all for me. Little gold cups make me happy :D

@riptide I finally pushed my Xeon 2800's, they seem good for 3100 but get very flakey very quickly after that. I'm sure I hit 3300 on those before, anyway DDTung owns that category with 3400 so at least it's in XS' hands :) Good luck with the LV's.

[[XC] gomeler]

Nice avatar jimwah, nice support of hwbot :p:

[flclisgreat]

i should be getting new shiny 3800+ or 3500+ soon. will help me along the way

[Duh]

Sorry guys but I do not get it :S. I have two rigs with BOINC and WCG.. is this of any use for the contest?

[THRASHER2]

All Sempron 64 2800+ results (not sorted)

http://www.hwbot.org/ResultBrowseByProcessor.do?cpuModelId=550

CPUz only


The only way I know to get it is to pick processors > Sempron 64 > you will find a small tab up there next to results change it to CPUz then click on the score in hwbot results then take compare CPU

Then when I take a look at your profile I found that you didn’t submit your result correctly as it says CPU unknown so you should edit it and in the CPU area you type Sempron then you select it from the list, don’t type it all by yourself



Then you will get 2 points
Hopefully it helps
Thanks I was looking for that :D

[Sparky]

I benched my main rig tonight. Got it just past 3GHz, any higher than 334x9 and it wouldn't boot up :( Submitted some results, will do some more later, but I need to get some sleep now and later get my OS back up to full bore (hosed it when trying to tweak the last millisecond out of Spi 1M :am: )

Baaah. Cmon Jimwah... I got 3.4 with 1.6Ghz...




.... or maybe you didn't lock the PCI bus :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[jimwah]

@gomeler thanks man ;)

:rofl: Not the PCI lock again! Yeah it's a bad overclock no doubt, you've spurred me into having another go later on tonight, I don't think I explored the lower multiplier/higher fsb options enough - these aren't a pair of cheeky LV's tho' :)

[mr_knowitall15]

OK this is frusterating as all hell. Ive subitted like 11 or 12 things, and still only got 3 points for my pcmark05 score. Does it have to be a really special score or something to get points? I am still trying to fidure out how this stuff works.

[flclisgreat]

you sure do "knowitall" huh?

HMM< maybe some errors? I saw you posted a sisoft sandra score with a 6700 I think that beat mine and I know there's no way in hell your conroe beat my 8 core Clovertown..
Maybe your doing something in error?:confused:

[flclisgreat]

sisandra doesn't give you points

[Movieman]

sisandra doesn't give you points
I'm aware of that..I mentioned sandra because the gentleman posted a score that was I beleive 20K higher than mine and to be blunt, there isn't a home owned machine on this planet that could make that score..
That's why I thought he might be doing something in error.

don't you have like 8 cores?. if so then i don't see what he could have to beet you sis score. maybe he is error-ing something

Agreed 100%..Exactly what I meant. When I saw his post I recognised the name from HWBot..That's why I commented..I figure he's making a mistake somewhere.

if you look at his pic of the score it's the mutimedia benchmark and not the processor arithmatic bench :stick:

[Hassan]

please delete that sisoft score, it put me in 3rd:rolleyes:

[Sparky]

I can't figure out how those people got such high scores with the same CPU or graphics card as mine. How did they reach those clocks?? :confused:
I can't get my CPU above about 3.01GHz, no matter what voltages or memory timings I use. I have to set it in the bios because clockgen won't work (has the wrong clock settings shown and freezes the system every time).

Not all processors are created equal :p: xtreme cooling helps combat this a bit but in the end, it isn't a level playing field.

[raccoonone]

alright, finally got to 50 points:) man, Super Pi 32m on a 600Mhz P3 is painful lol.

Does anyone know how to get PCMark04 to run on a Conroe over 2.3Ghz? I keep getting an error in Grammar Check, and from looking it up it seems that other people have gotten the same error. But I looked at the top scores and people have gotten it to run at 3-4GHz, so it must be possible.

*edit* nm, just saw the post over in the benchmark section.

[Sparky]

hey at least Spi 32m ran on yours, for some reason it keeps crashing on my systems :confused: Every time on each one it gets to the 3rd or 4th iteration and then "SuperPI mod has encountered an error and needs to close, we are sorry for any inconvenience." AHH you bet it is! What bugs me is it ran fine once on the one system, but the super pi window was off the bottom of the screen so you couldn't see the final time and I couldn't move it up without clicking OK and making it disappear :(

[Raiden Zero]

just switched to xtremesystems team =).
i already submitted 2X points before i joined xs team. so i need to add another 50 points?

btw: there are is one thing i realy dont understand.
7th celeron lga775 352->14.4 points
2nd p-m 750 -> 1.6points

AFAIK you need 50 points, but I could be wrong. You get more points for the Celeron because more rsults were added. It is a more popular CPU than the 750 (at the benches you ran) so you get more points, as it is harder to get to the top spots ;)

No idea if this is the problem, but I found that my P3 600Mhz is no longer stable at stock voltage. I had to increase the vCore to 2.1v, because it was crashing in windows a lot.

I found the problem, they each only had 256MB of RAM, apparently it wasn't enough room for all that pi :p: Put an extra 256MB in each system and they ran it fine. And the duron 1.2GHz was more than 20 minutes faster than the celeron 2.5GHz :eek: I knew celerons were pathetic but didn't know they were that bad!

[jimwah]

This explains why Spi32M crashed on my mobile P4 too, that puzzled me for a while 'cos I know its stable. Got about ~60 points here now, I'm trying to push my GPU's at the moment which is proving much tougher than benching obscure CPU's for me :)

DON't use scores of Shamino to upload in our database, use your own skills.

Your scores are now blocked.

If you have plans to upload more results to our database, know that I'll check them out myself and make sure they're not fake. If you try to post other person's results, I will ban you.

@ Fugger: Sorry, I posted this in the contest thread.

[kemo]

please delete that sisoft score, it put me in 3rd:rolleyes:

That is a problem with SisoftSandra that is why they don’t give points for it, re run it with an older version and you will get higher results although it is not counted

Everytime, I submit my results,that shows for some time % then I can't find any existence of my scores.I think as I'm a not a well known overclocker,my results got deleted.I've scored 239 point last time for XS but today I saw that my scores are nowhere on the charts.This is not done.Where my benchmark results are disappearing to ?

OOooo this PC at work has a gforce 2 GTS in it, time to load up some old benches maybe... :p:

I have looked into your results and I must say ... I'm amazed. Faking screenshots in one thing, complaning when they're block ...

First result: (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=576029)
Bad copy-paste of different pictures (you can't put the resultscreen behind the 3dmark01 main program).

Second result: (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=576137)
Very good cpu I must say ... and 97k with a mx440 ??? Impressive

Third result: (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=575899)
Aweful photoshop ... there's something missing on the right side of the final score screen.

Fourth result: (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=576215)
Great CPU, you have the fastest 3d benchable x6800 in the world, leaving others 300MHz. behind. By the way, there's something with on the background of the final score.

Fifth result: (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=576183)

that's some pretty funny stuff man ROFLMAO. but on another note i had my 2001 highest score w/ my QX6700 blocked and not sure why, i think for some reason the bot thinks it is the same processor as my 74K run with the X6800 :confused:

Unblocked it, won't make a difference though. Both scores are 2x8800gtx, so highest score will count.

What are you saying man ?

1) They were not any fake screenshot.Yes, I did copy paste but from my own benchmark results.I've started benching my system from the Geforce 4 MX 440 days & I'm benching now with my Geforce 8800.
I did copy paste coz I had greater scores some times ago but when I've recently benched my system to submit results to the HWbot.org, I found that I had better results in the past with the same configuration.
So, i did copy paste from my previous benchmark to the new window so that I can submit better results than what I'm getting now.I may have done something wrong in copy pasting.That's why u've noticed that MX 440 but doing copy paste from my own result should not be a problem. Isn't is so ?




2. "you can't put the resultscreen behind the 3dmark01 main program"--- Now what does that mean ? My 3D Mark results are viewable but I didn't know that putting the results behind the 3D Mark main screen is not a valid option.I could not find any rules on both the sites.So, keeping the result window over the 3d Mark main screen is vaild ? Can I re submit my results obeying that rule ?


3.I have not benched with Windows Vista.That was only a Vista theme.I've just posted a link where u can get to know that it was only a Vista theme,not a real Vista.I think you know about the Vista Transformation Pack software.

First result: 3DMark itself doesn't allow you to put the results window (the one that contains your score) behind the main 3Dmark window. That had to have been photochopped (or MS painted) to look like that.

Second result: That could have been real, I don't think 3Dmark01 would know what a 8800gtx is, but I'm not sure.

Third result: Looking at the 3Dmark result window, something has been obviously chopped off.

Fourth result: The final score window has obviously been modified, why else would the stark white rectangles appear in it behind the score? Bad erase of the real score, perhaps?

Fifth result: Here I do agree with you, I have a vista-looking theme running on my XP rig as well. Mine looks nicer though ;)

The fourth result in itself I think is enough to prove cheating and disqualification. Sorry, but we don't tolerate cheaters here :slapass:
*EDIT* I see you edited your post, so here:

So, i did copy paste from my previous benchmark to the new window so that I can submit better results than what I'm getting now.Is this a crime ?
And give us one good reason why we should believe you got those scores previously? Those pics are chopped, the one has the score erased and rewritten, the one the GPU doesn't match up (though like I said, does 3dmark01 even recognize an 8800gtx at all so this one is uncertain). The scores you send in must be the ones that you get now, not a month ago, or a year ago. If you want to rerun benches and do system tweaks until you get the highest score you can, fine. But copy/pasting, no :nono:
