OCZ Contest - Details

[TheGoat Eater]

I switched teams to help some friends... sorry (again)... great to see that there are people" picking the ball up and running" to get some points for XS

FUGGER - but on a good note the my labor bore some fruit with my Dice runs but I can IM/PM you about that

[Bobsama]

Just registered...

http://www.hwbot.org/user.do?userId=16300

Submitted a K6-2 550MHz SuperPi 1M run--7 minutes, 58.177 seconds. Picture attached. I have been running WinXP Home as a limited user for this K6-2--but I hope they'll still accept the submission.

I'll make a run with a PII 400 (probably still at 400MHz, unless SetFSB and ClockGen work) and then my E2140 (3.248GHz). I'll be doing SuperPi 1M to start on the PII...

[WesM63]

I'm a little late, but i'm in.

Question: How does my e5430's at 3.2ghz get beat out in wprime by STOCK e5430's?

Looking at your score did you go into advanced settings and change threads for number of cores?

Don't worry about late to the party just bring the hwbot points, the dry ice and the beer

Nope. I just d/l it and ran it. Chaning it to 8 threads gives me 6.346 seconds. :cheers:

Hi,
I have also registered on hwbot and earned some points with low budget videocards.

JuliM - XtremeSystems - 1501st - 16.3 points - Global Rank: 1501st - 16.3 points - (highest rank ever: 1501st at 15 May 2008 12:00, most hwboints ever: 16.3 points at 15 May 2008 12:00)
Date joined: Sunday 4 May 2008

Now I am start benching old stuff. (Celeron 433, here I come)

[WesM63]

w00t points came through. 58.9 currently

[Bobsama]

My submission (K6-2 550MHz) was worth about 1.4 points for XS. The PII-400 failed and I'll upload further benchmarks for my E2140... I have Vantage, SuperPi 1M, and SuperPi 32M at a minimum. Now if only I could get CPU-Z properly running in Safe-Mode--that sliced a second off of my normal time.

Awesome competition fugger

Looks just like the competition i'm holding at my website atm! We've got some cool prices for our members 2 :P I'm just hoping that i can kick overclocking in holland into 2nd gear.

Gd luck to anyone that is competing. May the best win

[eternaljammer]

I am in too! Let us win!!!

[ZenEffect]

will be benching a e7200 for more pts this weekend

[NBF]

Just joined HWBOT today, so I'm starting with 0 points.

I'm very sure I won't be able to match you guys in points earned, but I'm willing to help XS team as I can and of course have some fun .

I Know there a lot of members like me, don't stand a chance in this contest, but together could make a diference. It's pretty tough to earn hundreds of points alone, but with enogh people to do it, it's much easier.

I wish the best benching for all!!!

Global Rank: 887th - 40.3 points - (highest rank ever: 887th at 17 May 2008 12:00, most hwboints ever: 40.3 points at 17 May 2008 12:00)

That's it for my main rig, now I must dig through my elder stuff or get a better clocking cpu.

[Bobsama]

No more points from my E2140... maybe I can get some more with the K6-2!

[M.Beier]

7th June, bah...
I wouldnt like to reveal my results pre-20th June.... Danish MSI qualification ends that day!

[aicjofs]

+123.9

Holding off Loonym is becoming increasing difficult. Great benching there!

Taking a break until Thursday I think. Only handle so much swapping CPU's, tape mod, pencil mod, pin mod, wpcredit, soft fsb on this old ancient hardware.

I do see alot of green on the rankings on this page so we are all doing something right! hehe.

XS has moved up to 5th.

KEEP PUSHING IT.

[Charles Wirth]

Yea, noticed the pass as well, getting closer.

Good job guys, keep pushing.

[massman]

Fugger is right guys, I was astonished when I saw the progress of XS this morning

Great display of benching spirit

[Bobsama]

I'm pretty sure I'll be able to up my score a bit later... provided I can get a Super Socket 7 board that can clock and a few K6's of various models. Old stuff lacks benchmarks, so I'm in luck there. That, or see if I can get a PGA478 board that clocks and tear apart a few Dell Optiplex GX270s with PGA478 P4 2.8GHz Prescotts in them. As it is, I should have a 3.06GHz (IIRC) P4 LGA775 coming in a month or two... too bad it'll be too late.

[WesM63]

I've got a LGA775 Celeron at home I can give it a go at. Hopefully sometime soon, things have been crazy trying to move n all.

[G H Z]

Is that why I had to work like crazy to get into the 5 sec range with wPrime32?
Also was surprised how low my score was in PCMark05.. Didn't even submit it.

Fold less and bench more, you'd know these things

For PCMark you need i-Ram, a set of them in RAID 0 work good!

Ahh, after tonight I needed the smile from this.
The X5482's I had have gone back to Supermicro BUT if Lady Luck holds out I may have a pair of E5450's to play with and those have a 9 multi vs the X5482's 8 multi..
And this memory, these horrid, slow,crap FBDimms will do 454, 450 stable, enough for a bench anyway..
And there is that WC system sitting on the Clover rig that will bolt right on the Harpertown board..

*giggles*
Called up Intel to politely ask where the hell my processor was. Received a tracking number 2 hours later, not certain if that was a coincidence or not? Either way, it should be here by Friday! I'm back baby and badder than ever

I'm kinda new at this but I do like contests so I'm in...but one question...How are points awarded?

If you rank highly with your specific hardware, you receive points. If you rank highly among all the submissions, you also receive points. For example if you have an 9800GX2, benchmark 3DMark06, and score within the top 10 globally and are the 4th fastest GX2, you will receive points for both accomplishments. HWBot only awards global points for your fastest score in each category though, so SLI and CF scores will only count for the highest. You can get hardware points for everything though, there are lots of top HWBotters with hundreds of submissions only worth 2 points a piece
