joining the XS hwbot team

[Mellowyellow]

Ok I just joined, I am not a great overclocker by any means but I am getting into it more and have not ever had to post Screenshots other than Bios which I did with a camera. But I do not know how to do a screenshot without a camera, on wow it was the print screen button and you would find it in the wow files, but I am clueless as to where I would find a normal SS if the print screen does the same thing in windows.
Sorry for my ignorance please forgive.

Thanks for joining

There are a few ways to do screen shots. Personally, I usually use a program called MWSnap http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html It makes it quite easy and give plenty of options.

It can also be done by just hitting print screen and then opening Paint and hitting paste then you can just save the file.
Hope that helps.

Welcome aboard! We need more benchers, small or big

What operating systems are you running?

i've joined your team too

not an xtreme OCers but i'm sure i can rack some points here and there, plus i already got a few points 7 or something

Thanks, I have a Q9550 right now but I can't OC much past 3.8 due to mobo issues. the PWM temps skyrocket way before the cpu breaks into a sweat. This chip rocks stays below 50c with a $20 cooler at full load. Too bad I won't ever get to see it's top end. I am getting a I7 920 through the retail edge program and just bought a Bloodrage mobo with some OCZ plats. I just hope I get an amazingly cool chip.

how do you know how tall he is

I am 6'3" 200lbs but I am a small clocker, hopefully not for long, maybe if I can not sell my Q9550 you all might lend a hand in starting me with getting into the cold stuff

What operating systems are you running?

Running Vista 64, have Vista 32 on separate Hdd for some legacy programs I use.

Welcome, nice to have you in the team!

Just found out MWsnap is for 32bit only this makes baby's cry

I use the free fastone capture, works on 64 bit...

Running it on 64-bit Server 2K8 Datacenter edition Sorry it didn't work for you. The one RR posted works well also

I didn't try it just read that it is for 32bit only I guess I could try to see what happens

You can try running it in compatability mode. Right click teh executable file, properties, compatability tab, select os, apply, launch.

thanks I will keep that in mind.
I have bigger problems atm though, CPU-Z is not reporting the cpu right saying it is a 8.0 multi and not the 8.5, this is probably either a Vista thing or because of my mobo. Plus on Super PI it will only run one core and will not let me switch it to 4 cores, Wprime only noticed 1 core but it gave me the option to change to 4.

Did you enable half multis ( N/2 or what it's called for your mobo manufacturer ) in the BIOS?

Also SPi is a single-threaded app and will only use one core, but assigning it to a certain core will make it run slightly faster.
WPrime you already figured out!

In the BIOS it is set at a half multi (8.5) and real temp reads the mhz correctly it is Just CPU-Z, also the bios has an issue of it not reading the chip 100% correctly, for the temps it always reads 103c. This board is an Abit IX38 QuadGT and as you all know they pulled the plug and I have no support, this is why I have moved to I7 setup. I am just waiting for my I7 to show up, already have a Bloodrage and OCZ plats here.

This chip apparently doesnt like running just one core, on the 32m test it will freeze the comp about half way through, even though it is 24hour prime stable on all cores

Really nice to see all the new guys putting up points for xs There aren't too many people that are going to put up big numbers, wr, etc, but I believe everyone can contribute something and that's what really counts. Reminds me of the big push we had last year with everyone pitching in. A ton of people added what they could and the team moved very quickly all the way up to fourth place.

Big numbers are incoming almost ready.

Just when I passed you in hwboints... I'll savor the moment then good luck!

Ehhh I'd rather you be right up there with me, after all we are competing on the same side.

Very impressive benching from you lately. Does your phase hold that xeon pretty well? What kind of temps are you seeing and what volts when you get up around 5ghz?

I don't have a lot of points, but I'll toss my loose change on the pile.

Thanks loonym
-45 idle, -43 loaded ('06 cpu/vantage cpu/wprime)
Volts: 1,45-1,55
I'm trying to get 230 bclk 3d stable on Bloodrage, but it's tough...
Having some TWKR + LN2 fun today, wish me luck

[Don_Dan]

Having some TWKR + LN2 fun today, wish me luck

6.5GHz validation!! Congrats!

But only 5.7GHz 3dmark 06 stable under LN2, couldn't you go higher?
Did you run 3dmark 05?

[G.Foyle]

I had some serious mobo problems then, I bet the chip would do more than 5700 3d stable. It seems it's dead or severely injured now I tried to post on Crossahair and MSI GD70 and it would post sometimes but go into a reset loop or stop at cpu init...
