well. unfortunately i dont have the patience to watch a riva tnt2 to run aquamark3 @ .04fps ... nor the patience to let a athlon 1100 run superpi 32m (1 hour, 5 loops completed)
tonight before i go to sleep, i will let it bench and hopefully when i wake up it will be done. :rolleyes:

still benching the lo-tech until the ss arrives :up:
what is a boint? lol!
:eek: Is that a typo? I have a Pentium 2 450 that can do under an hour for 5 loops. I would think you'd be at the 15min mark or so after 5 loops.Quote:

Yeah I'm not even doing 3dmarks or PCmark on the older stuff, no patience either.
Check at the black hole (in Los Alamos), I just got a 25L MVE dewar for $100 + shipping.Quote:

Trade ya for my MegaPlex Quad Xeon that takes 1min per gig of ram to boot thats just waiting for it to count up there is no fancy hit ESC or space you just wait :rofl: but once its going its not bad other than the 16bit color in windows :shakes:
Will have to call them. Sent them an email but got no respone back. Maybe I can get 2 25L dewars so I can bench for more than 6 hours at a time :cool:Quote:

Go team!:cheer::bounces:
Ok well I have my results back from yesterday--CPU-Z and SuperPi 1M were both submitted and netted me 2.8 points a piece, bringing me to 7 points total. Added now a higher CPU-Z, SuperPi 32M, PiFast, and wPrime 32M--so I should have a few more points coming in. I ended up reporting someone's wPrime 32M score since they forgot about 40s and got a few extra points because of it--so now I should have best rank there. Celeron M 353--easy chip to overclock and bench. :p: Also I'm 1GHz stable--which isn't bad considering that the heat-spreader is the single thin sheet of tin underneath the keyboard.
why didn't you bold the "you guys are doing great" part dude :lol2:Quote:

sorry about the copy and paste, kind of wake and baked this morning... now im trapped at work :(
BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD
if only i could complete an aquamark with that riva tnt2 but it takes FOREVER.
Yes call -- their email support is horribly slow (i got a return email after 2 months lol). They do have larger dewars, I just wanted a 25L...Quote:

it went a little faster this time around because i added an extra 256mb of ram and used softfsb to oc the cpu a whopping 77mhz! :)
im just glad to be done w/ that pos. in all honesty, if i were just going to browse the web, that machine is not bad at all. pretty snappy in all honesty.
now to crank out this p4... i just hope this asrock motherboard holds out.

Well I'm trying to work my magic on my little Q9450
Well I have a few more points up my sleeve--I just need to do some more stability testing at higher overclocks on my Celeron M 353. I went from 0 points to 14 points now from five 1st place and one 4th place finish.
Let to do:
SuperPI 32M at higher overclocks
Retry SuperPi 1M at highest overclock
wPrime 32M at highest overclock
wPrime 1024M at highest stable overclock
Get max overclock again and rebench PiFast &c.
only been able to bench for a week or so. and in that week have only been able to get a few benchs in because i would get a 1st place then \/endetta would take my cup.. so i would have to come back and bench 3dmarks all over again:p:..
link to battle=
slowly but surely the points are coming.. gained about 38 points so far.. hoping i can get at least another 50...:yepp: go go go go go go....
Ok well I have a new wPrime 32M and 1024M scores--not submitted yet but they are better than before. I think I have a new PiFast as well--so long as I can run the bench I can get points, no matter if it's actually stable. I want to redo a few SuperPi 1M runs--my previous record is 78.58s, I want to shave off another second or two. If it's going to spit errors at me again, that may not be possible.
I should be able to net a bit more off of SuperPi 32M--I had a run at 1GHz but now I want to try again at 1053MHz--hopefully cut off a few minutes that way.
Uhm let's see.. I may already have a better PiFast--I know I have under 110s again from previous screenshots, again have not uploaded yet. I'll see what I did before, try to improve. By extension--I need to modify the eeectl extension to include higher overclocks--a few more 0.x. I think I can get stable up to 1.1GHz.
Did I miss anything? I may see if I can get AquaMark or something working--I'm running out of benchmark suites for this system, and I have filed a half dozen results for a few different categories already.
I was going to further benchmark this AMD K6-2, but I don't quite have the patience considering just how long it took to get a SuperPi 1M run though--478 seconds!
LOL JamesBong and Vendetta thats a good battle you guys had. Mustve been fun!
I am pretty much done with my old stuff. My celeron 700 gave me same nice points. Benching a celeron 433 takes lots of time especially if you go for gold and superpi crashes at round 23 (after 2:30h). My celeron 1.1a @440BX modded needs to run cpu-z and wprime1024 so some more points are coming.

Congrats to all that are putting the best efforts to achieve our goal. :clap:
Submitted a few more benchmarks... higher CPU-Z (1080MHz instead of 1062MHz), I think I may have forgotten some things but I'll take a look.
EDIT: Checking my saved benchmarks with submitted ones, it appears I'm fine. Another gold trophy and 2.1 points more.
I'm hoping to try some ss action tomorrow but I had 0 points when I started and no have 92.8 so I guess I did what I could to contribute. Won't be in the top ten, but its about teamwork not reward.
Hi guys
I want to help XS with my points, but need some help, I never had team, but I have several results posted in different forums, is it OK just to select Xtremesystems team, or I need to do something else?
Thanks.
Anyone can join :D

Either way it was cool to see so many of us go in the attics closets etc. Dust off and fire up old hard and bench.:DQuote:

I'm not all that sure about how switching teams works but I know it's pretty common.
OK now--I need to get another frequency record on my EeePC--I should be able to hit FSB122 (1098mhz) if I try--if not, I'll hope for matching the current 1089MHz. Yeah--I need to beat out a someone... oanvoanc. So long as I can match it I should get the gold trophy back.
Did we ever confirm or deny if we can still submit points through tomorrow or is this over like midnight tonight?
Hope it doesn't end tonight I'm still benching. :D

I just got 3rd place for PiFast for the Q9450 on Air cooling ;)
I had ordered some coolers and ramsinks for a pair of 8800gts cards but they didn't get here on time so I ran everything with stock coolers and the ac blowing on it :D
Hello friends, today is 7th:up:
Let's check out rankings:

Hmm XS gain not even 2000p in one month, first team is only 4000p ahead. As I said, there is no way to get #1 spot in one month ;)

I will try for 4000 on water and I don't think there are any E5450's that are up that high yet.
I'm pretty impressed myself with how well this went. There wasn't actually too many people benching, in comparision to the number of forum readers....
lol... if all the people who use this forum regularly put up even 10 points each we would be first :ROTF:Quote:

This is what XS used to be about. I never stopped since I joined the forum, and if I do stop, I'll not be here. Looking at most people contributing, most are from "the same era" as I am.
Guess the contest is over.

Sadly, just after announcing my starting score, some of my points were taken :(
So I've just went from 156 or so, to 206....

Ahh ok I thought I was losing it... well ok, I already did that :p: but at least I'm not seeing things.
I would like to help XS with HWBot position, but I wonder how much of a help if any I may be. I am not interested in the prizes. I am a complete and total noob with respect to HWBot, so I will have to put a little more effort than most into understanding how HWBot works and earning some points, effort I would rather not expend if the systems below will not achieve anything for XS.
I have an overclocked system as in my sig. I also have a Athlon Thunderbird 1GHz that is stable at over 1.4Ghz. I am a lazy git and don't really care much for doing this other than to help XS get up there in HWBot. They are both air cooled systems.

03 40k just

If I could get some points for XS then I will go for it. Is it worth me making the effort here. Please advise.
Thanks :)
EDIT: I just noticed the closing date. Too late? Like I said prizes irrelevant, but if I can help XS then I will still go for it.
Top 10 guys get Vantage Advanced licenses, SN# are ready
Just wanted to update, you have a few more days left until I get my scores on the board.
8 days? :D
LoL. Unfortunately I don't think I'll make the top ten, but thankfully I already got the vantage liscence...now we jsut need HWBOT points for it!
Do want license! 8 more days of benching?! Might be able to push up some digits :D
Agreed!Quote:

Now I have to think of the most annoying color possible... Hmmm!
Bold and Purple, is that taken? ;P
I'll upload even more next week, sadly weekend benching was a failiure

Not that simple, at least 6 users in top 20 or so are inactive, or not part of the comp. Fugger of course doesn't count. But then I'm up there too, always am, but since this started I only added maybe 20 points.Quote:
