XS HWBot Team

Pm'ed

On another positive note Chew's bowing out should motivate team members to step up their game and push harder.

How Xtreme are you really

LMK if this weekend would work out for you we can knock out some serious scores/boints/cups

[Linuxfan]

Chew, was good meeting you and watching you bench at CES this year. I was the guy that asked you if you chewed tobacco, thought that might have been where the name came from. Wanted to share my perspective in seeing you drop the point rankings.

From someone on "another team", I respect your decision for what makes sense for your situation, but I would vote you keep the boints. For good people like yourself who enjoy the hobby and are known around the enthusiast ranks, everyone knows how your boints were achieved. They are real submissions, real hardware, real work. It's well known that boints are a lot like monopoly money and its not hard to "counterfeit" - its all imaginary, but it makes playing more fun for a lot of people. We all compete on hwbot not because its a perfect platform, but because its the best platform available.

I compete in boints because my friends and people I trust compete in boints. The people gaming the system don't mean anything to me - that is the playing field, and my friends and people I trust are on the same playing field. Those are the people we are really competing with. Maybe in time you can look past the negativity a lot of people get caught up in with hwbot, refocus on what you can control which is your own benching, and remember that this is all just for the hobby and for the fun... I know you can do that without the boints, and thats cool. But the boints do make it more fun.

@slaveondope.net: Just to clarify, it is Overclockers.com. We don't have anything to do with oc.net, and I wouldn't want to be confused with them.

Brian you could just do what Vince does and have your profile and old points still up but any new submissions you might like to post you can mark for no points.

Arrrrgh Hwbot is down...
Maybe new rev is coming to life?

yeah brian You will understand this is just like skateboarding. look at vince he goes about overclocking like a skateboarder. I think Owen Neider said it best in the santa cruz speed wheels vid. "I skate for fun and thats it. If I dont have fun you'll see me quit."

keep the points for the teams sake but for now on just have fun.

on another note I jsut dled the pcmark 7 off the fm site. type in your current valid 3dm11 or pc vantage key in the promo code box and you get a nice discount. lets figure this out.
all of you raid boys get in here.. uncle steve, paul, tilt, etc..... get in the action!

tilt how did you do? I got around 49xx points on a xeon 3540 at 3.7ghz and my raid set. it doesnt seem to scale like crazy with the raid like the previous did. All I see are sandy rigs at the top. any thoughts?

@everyone: Please cast your vote here if CPU-Z validations should still receive global points in rev 4. Please vote yes, otherwise that evil Massman-guy will take away my only global points...

Oh, while we're at it... Steve...

I'm sincerely sorry PJ, I shouldn't have called you evil guy...

Of course the correct name to refer to you is abhorrently evil braindead kind-hearted money-driven child-hating short-sighted cheating boy.
I'll make sure to get that right the next time.

[Linuxfan]

Keep benching guys!
Time for me to test out something...
eennny meeny minnny moooeee.....
How about 3870X2+2500K quickly for '05 maybe '01 and '06, then Q6700 ES and Q6600?
Just got the Q66 and Q67 chips in yesterday, thanks to systemviper for being a great guy to deal with even when he's going through hard times.

I'm not a gene but here's what I heard.

From thursday, we have a last week of fixing lay-out and design bugs. After that we planned 7 days to squash all feature bugs. Then it should be released

Hey Sergio,

I have to admit I was pretty disappointed to see you leave, however, now I'm very happy to have you back on board!
