CPU-Z Validation Changes, bogus dumps removed.

Hey easy guys ..

Max frequency is not bound of any time limits. Its the software that our used to use, that has changed its way of reading frequency.

Its in Franck`s fully right, to implement what ever He wants into His program.

Beg up and keep coding it

This. If you don't like it, don't bench it. It's a free program and has been for years, no need to complain about software that you did no work for and paid no money for.

Okay wait I just tell HWBot that I will use a different tool in future for verification.

I appreciate Franck's contribution. It is of a magnitude that most will never realize.

Despite this, I reserve the right to disagree with him.

Not sure whos forcing you to bench but then just don't bench CPU-Z. Nobody here is entitled to anything.

I'm not saying you shouldn't disagree with him, just that nobody here is entitled to anything from a free program that nobody else helped develop.

It's not easy like that.
CPU-Z became a big part of HWBot within the last few years and the overclocking community doesnt have the opportunity just to change the verification-tool. If I want to proof my overclocking result I get forced to use CPU-Z...

maybe we need more than one verification tool? So i guess no more brink OC? for me, not most i enjoy seeing the maximum speed i can pull, no matter how long it lasts.

more than one tool, i dont think there is anything like CPUz. It's an iconic piece of software, definitely no need to look for anything new imo

The only thing that sucks about this is the fact that all the scores done with the old version of cpuz are not honestly compareable with the new version of the benchmark. I mean how many of those validations were done with the required time limit.....

[knopflerbruce]

I feel some of you guys forget a thing or two... take setFSB for example. It loads the system for a few moments. If your rig is actually stable enough to set the frequency, then it should be stable enough to idle for 3 seconds too. It's not like he added some stability test, right? Like a 3 second load on all available cores?

I agree, it changes the base rules that all have used for years BUT that said, I can understand the why's of the change.
Bottom line at least to me is that this is one of those tough ones to make a call on.

if the 8.4ghz world record stands, omg thats hard to beat lol

and that one was held for more than 3 seconds, much more. I was there..

I know!!! hahahahah
