Should be an interesting community competition

For stage 3, it will be FS or SD ?

It's Firestrike. I'm guessing there's a mistake in the competitions background text?

also, main page states water cooling allowed, stage pages state "Processor cooling is limited to Standard Stock Cooling, Air Cooling"

Yerah gonna get that fixed ASAP

Fixed the issues :

how is it people are doing this benchmarks when it don't start till sep 1

Not sure why, the competition is closed. Let's look at the backend code.

Removed the submissions.

People are still submitting somehow.

I'll remove the submissions later. Dev team said it should be fixed now.

Please note all

participants must use the competition wallpaper

If you spot any submissions without competition background, just report the score and the moderators will take care of it

noted thanks massman

15 guys competing...nice for just the 2nd day of the contest.

it wasn't precised that background is mandatory, but ok i will take note of it for the next submits ^^

A lot of competitors for a "novice" challenge that's really nice !

please follow the rules fair and enjoyable playing

It does:

LIMITATIONS

 

Only use AMD processors.

Processor speed is limited to 4571 MHz.

No engineering samples and no elite league members.

All participants must use the competition wallpaper found here: click

A verification screenshot is required.

Please attach a picture of your overclocking rig.

Only members of the extreme, enthusiast, novice, rookie league may participate.

Processor cooling is limited to Standard Stock Cooling, Air Cooling, Water Cooling.

Oh, on the stage page, ok my bad.

Good i'll have a check with my eye specialist next month u_u

GL everyone. i hope i'll find better CPU to achieve a podium.

Not problem.

Good luck to all the participant and most important, enjoy it!!!

Its a pretty good match.

The best timing in this impressive.

I hope the best result registered for their friends.

Please note window 8 is not allow. Please read Rules & Guides.

http://hwbot.org/article/general_rules

OC4DOGE participate I mention 3 times follow the rule nobody abide by

Organizer please assist in this matter. it is not fair for us who follow the rules.

This is a community competition can we make it a good sport

It's """difficult""" for rookies to take care of reglementations.

We (my team's captains) repeat regularly the submission rules, explaining the reason of reports without systematically press the red button... there is work

Edit : Yeah i didn't take for myself, just a global remark ^^ i totally agree the reglementation system of Hwbot.

Let the Organizer handle the matter.

More people joining to the contest, more interesting every day...excellent.

Nice going everyone I'll post some 32m tweaks up later

Such submits.

Many success.

Wow.

With these frequency, it's all about RAM accuracy and OS tweaking ^^

Samsung HCH9 + Tweaks + Haswell

Here's some 32m tweaks http://www.overclock.net/t/1249432/super-pi-32m-tweaking-guide

And as for copy wazza I use ocx spi tweaker

And for amd users look here http://hwbot.org/newsflash/2099_the_stilt_releases_bulldozer_conditioner_software_amd_superpi_history_to_be_re_written and here http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=86959

Got 2x 1GB Samsung 1333Mhz HCH9 memory modules ready for actions =)

What you really need is something like 2600c10 TridentX with HCH9/HYK0 which are dual sided 4gb sticks. Those low bin kits won't don't very well when put up against something like the tridents because I don't think that the low bin stuff can run at 2800 c9-12-12-14 twcl 6 like the 2600c10 Tridents can

True, but wanted to take these sticks to the competition.

Current score (not uploaded to HWBOT yet) is 07:08:300.

If sub 7 can be achieved with these sticks thats amazing!

Question about this competition..

Is it correct to say that processor speed is not limited for the FS stage?

Correct. No frequency limitation but the cooling is still limited.

7 seconds dead was close .. but this is the best I could get out of em:

http://hwbot.org/submission/2625103_koekwau5_superpi___32m_pentium_g3258_7min_3sec_219ms

Still very impressive for these very old DIMMS I found

Gl for place 1,2 and 3 everyone. I'm out cuz I can't do better with the currrent hardware I have @ home.

Looking good mate. Have you wazza and had a look at the thread I posted? If you have not done wazza it could very well get you below 7m and I'm working on a fx 4100 + HYK0 based mems + amd 760g chipset

Followed everything you said and it did shave of a couple of seconds!

Thanks for that =)

It's really the timings not cooperating. 10-13-13-18-104-1T with 2500Mhz ain't gonna do the sub 7 trick.

Think I need 10-12-12-15-104-1T for that.

But still cannot believe what these simple el cheapo modules are capable of =)

Yeah that's Samsung ICs for you

Also what volts are running them? Samsungs love lots volts and doesn't really shine till 1.9v+

Been pushing 1.85V. I'm scared I might damage my 5Ghz Pentium G3258 IMC pushing more volts. Or do you need to push way more to make that happen?

Awesome to read even 1.9V ain't a problem for these unstoppable DIMMS.

The last 0.05V could mean stability for 11-13-12-18-104 and maybe even 11-12-12-18-104.

Gonna try it this weekend. I'll let you know =)

Holy shi***

49 people at day 10th days of competition.

This is more interesting each day.

Just wanted to clarify on this submission is it valid

http://hwbot.org/submission/2622512

GPU 7970 but the correct GPU should be 280X

Thanks

I said all Tahiti. The HD 7970 is a Tahiti so it's a OK. Also nice clock on that card I had a Vapor-x that got to 1210/1650 at best.

BTW why did you run the 7850K @ 4.39Ghz with a stock NB frequency when the maximum for AMD SuperPi is 4.57Ghz.

should have mentioned that problem earlier let the Organizer do the changes to avoid any suspicion report on the submissions

should have mentioned that problem earlier let the Organizer do the changes to avoid any suspicion report on the submissions

I'm the organizer and the Firestrike stage clearly states that: "Only use videocards based on the Tahiti, Tahiti Pro, Tahiti Pro', Tahiti XT, Tahiti Pro'', Tahiti XT', GK104, GK104', GK104'', GK104''' core."

The HD 7970 uses a Tahiti XT core so it's fine.

Rayhow >> Submission validated by Don_Dan, as it's a detection issue by 3DMark. You can continue benching serene now

Inspired by this comp http://hwbot.org/submission/2627139_

I have a problem regarding my submission. I can't select 2cores ( there is only selective cores 4x and 6x ) How can I correct this ?

Well Done Good score on AMD SuperPi - 32M

Thanks

That is the worst back-up, but I saw your score at 4590Mhz >> http://hwbot.org/submission/2525832_rayhow_superpi___32m_a10_7850k_14min_23sec_898ms << which is even more impresive

This CPU can't finish 32M with NB over 3100 on air, time for some Semprons at 10 euro.

Are we allowed to use LN2 on RAM ?

Are we allowed to use LN2 on RAM ?

I intended for this to be a completely LN2 free competition but since it wasn't in the rules and someone already posted an LN2 RAM score I'm not sure if it would be fair for me to ban LN2 now. I wanted this competition to be accessible even to people who don't have access to LN2 so no LN2 is not allowed on anything. I hope I'm not screwing to many people over but no LN2 on RAM or anything else.

On the mianpage of the competition.

"There will be 3 different stages all limited to only using air or watercooling"

So in my opinio NO LN2 alowed.But its the organisator to make it clear if LN2 on ram whil be ok or not.

Ok then NO LN2 ON RAM either

I've added the no LN2 for memory rule to the competition page. No nitrogen, boys!

Sub-zero cooling on CPU for stage 3 is possible?

"There will be 3 different stages all limited to only using air or watercooling"

What do you think?

"There will be 3 different stages all limited to only using air or watercooling"

 

What do you think?

Nevermind...

For some reason, I read that only 1st and 2nd was limited to ambient cooling on CPU.

It would've been good to have a stage with open cooling

Guys. I have some semprons 145 which are unlockable. Can I post at AMD Stage with them unlocked ?

Yes, that is allowed

It would've been good to have a stage with open cooling

If this gets enough interest I'll try to get another one of these organized in winter. With some completely open stages and some stages with restrictions similar to the ones there are now.

From 6 Semprons this seems to be the best.

AMD SuperPi is sooo fun , but is far toooo long!

I don't know why, after I changed the CPU, the Maxmem changed to 2048mb.

Time for Copy Wazza and other Tweaks.

why lot of ati submits have taselation modified?

Because AMD drivers allow you to over ride tesselation and driver tweaking is allowed according to the HWbot rules so most AMD uses disable tessellation.

It does:

True that....but it's minor if the time is ok.

Live and learn how you to get higher scores brah !

The PCMARK05 will put you over, but it's not a system vs...fresh install of software.

Massman, remember when people where asking how-to-PcMark04?

Your scores are legit but 1.7v on a non-extreme cooling effort don't seem right brah;)

Ever heard of editing a post so you don't triple post

LOL Newlife ... cheer up man :D

Can you check my resuly please. I need confirmation .
