Contest Rules - Valentines Payday

[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

[RichBa5tard]

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 In the end might even help out their folding speed some

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.

[RichBa5tard]

By the way, this guy achieved 175 points 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

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 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 The guy now in 3rd has an n/a, but has been awarded silver. Ta,

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

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

[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.

My mobo doesn't go higher than 150 fsb (Asus CUBX-E is a 100fsb board) and I don't have a clockgen, easy pickings

Just LOL

[INJViper]

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 In a day or so I will be submitting my #1 place 540 scores for wprime 32m and 1024m. I need my 4 points RB lol Bah my sig hasn't updated...

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

[Martijn]

You might want to add the Pentium D935/D945 as well

[MikalCarbine]

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

[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

[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

[[XC] gomeler]

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.

If you don't let it drop below 50 pts by the 14th

Thanks RichBa5tard

[[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^)
