On SB / IB or Haswell it will run specs ~1.65V.

However, it will need a lot more voltage to scale after ~1100 MHz.

GENiEBEN Most Active Result Moderator in 2013

Once in a while we like to put our volunteer staff in the picture. Without their help, this site would simply not be able to function properly. They support the HWBOT community in many ways: resolving submission disputes, monitoring and helping on the forums, keeping the hardware database up-to-date, and so much more. It's difficult to put in words or numbers how much the team contributes to the daily operation at HWBOT, but it's undoubtly more than anyone could imagine. The only metric we can provide you is our moderating statistics.

The table below shows a list of the moderator actions of each staff member during 2013. GENiEBEN - software stronghold - has been incredibly active with almost 3,000 moderations this year. A moderation can be checking a result as valid, but also blocking a result, or updating its information. Even though some users get upset over a blocked score, after learning GENiEBEN did 3,000 this year, I believe the meme on the right is a valid response. One of our newer staff members Don_Dan is doing an amazing job as well, having over 1000 moderations.

Looks like I'm ranked second in the most exclusive league on HWBot!

Started pretesting on air to make sure efficiency is dialed before cold on 580!

Playing my favorite game. . . well other than pi

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. Any new hardware from santa? I gave my brother a 3570K and Asrock Extreme 4 mb. So that means I will get my beloved DFI UT X48, Q9650 and Gskill pi ddr2 back! I'm so happy.

[Don_Dan]

Happy New Year!

@Crabby: I got a memory kit for Christmas, will post a pic later on.

Since the addition of these five benchmarks to the HWBoints Suite yesterday, we're now at 28053.18 points, XtremeLabs.org isn't too far away at 28218.81 points. Keep on benching!

[Ace123]

man we need to get some more enthusiast overclockers involved. I dont have enough hardware to keep this up

[Crabby]

Some of your cpu only have a few subs, get to work! hahahahaha

GIGABYTE Retro OC Contest

I have 2 Gigabyte mb so I entered just for fun. Truly "retro" for me hahaha but I gained 4 comp. points! At first I ran 3dmark2001 with w7 then switched to xp and scored 12k more points. Wish I had a better cpu/mb combo but hey I still had fun and put everything I could into getting the best out of it. Tonight its "supposed" to get below freezing so I may take my benching outside and make a few runs.

[Don_Dan]

Sub 0?C in Florida?!
Good luck for your runs and post some pics!

Send me your worst ln2 pot lol, ill try it out haha

[Crabby]

Well it got close to 0 hahaha. I just stuck my rad in the window and the lowest the cpu got was 5 idling in bios. I used my G.skill ram this time, never benched with it before and I kinda liked it. Not the high MHz like my Blades can do but my Blades don't like cas4. I have a few more AMD cpus to bench them I'm going to Intel s775.

I only have one pot, and sending it over the pond might be a bit expensive...

I never thought it could get that cold in Florida...
I love the colour scheme of the DFI board, black and green and yellow is pretty nice.
Send me a PM before you start buying S775 CPUs, we can both tackle the popular chips but we don't have to buy the obscure chips twice.

If you guys ever wanna tackle some am2 stuff I have x2 3800, x2 4400, x2 5000, x2 6000, x2 6400, and some of those weird 2050 4040 ones

It would be much easier for me to tackle AM2 and not need LN2 and huge prep time than it would to do everything else I have here...
But time will tell, I've been so busy, plus life continues to change.

I do have a Foxconn C51XE2MAA here...

As far as LN2 pot goes, I have a giant Venom here ready for mounting AMD/intel going unused

[Ace123]

OooO... venom

Well it didn't last very long, back in short pants now hahahaha.

Yes, that DFI color scheme is my favorite. The stock cooling is the best I have ever seen, made by thermalright.

Not me! If I'll ever run out of S775 chips, I can switch to S939 chips, I already have a board and some memory.
I might also run something "more recent" for a change...

I wish we got such nice weather over here at this time of the year.
Yep, the heatsink design on these DFI boards is very nice.
