Free Intel i7-920 - Beat my Bot points!

[Brolloks]

This is no joke...simple quick and dirty competition.

This is to inspire the NON-top 20 on OCF team on the bot (hwbot.org (http://hwbot.org/rankings/overclocker/team/oc_forums))...which is where I was a couple of weeks ago.

If you....anyone that is not currently, as of this post, in the TOP 20... can beat me by April 15 (incidently my birthday :)) 12 PM CST will get a free Intel i7-920, retail version with box and HSF courtesy of me.

If you are not on the OCF bot team right now, go register and start benching :)

This is open to anyone on OCF.

Go get it guys !!!

[I.M.O.G.]

:eek:

[MIAHALLEN]

Nice...good stuff here guys...who's up for the challenge? :D

[Voidn]

How about non-top 10 :)

[Brolloks]

Top 10 should beat me in no time :)

PS...I have more up my sleeve ;)

[Rattle]

Wow Brollocks making me want to bench again rofl

[Brolloks]

Yeah, come on Tony, you can do this man, you have the hardware and the knowledge :)

[MIAHALLEN]

Thanks the whole point Rattle :thup:

[Dolk]

I wonder if all you Intel boys can beat my PII 940 :p

Bring it on!

[Brolloks]

Well Dolk why don't you show me what that PII can do then, you could end up with a 920 to play with or sell :)

[I.M.O.G.]

Posted to the frontpage!

[Hardass]

Awww man why not anyone not in the top 15?:bang head Nice buddy. Team spirit.

[Dolk]

Bam

[icebob]

I wonder if all you Intel boys can beat my PII 940 :p

Bring it on!

I'm pretty sure I can! still have the TWKR...

[Dolk]

If you don't mind "misplacing" it for a couple of days, I would be in a sure win for this competition :p

But knowing you, you would never let it out of your sight :D

[KonaKona]

Hmm, maybe time to fire up the Q6600 and see if I can't do something about that FSB wall, eh?

[MattNo5ss]

I'm just eligible at #21, but don't have enough hardware...too bad...

Ok, so I guess it has been awhile. I submitted scores on HWbot but they didn't count :shrug: What am I doing wrong?

says you dont participate in the rankings.

Top 14 you mean? :p

[Dolk]

so how do I go about changing this?

[moocow]

In your account settings. It should be in there.

[I.M.O.G.]

Go here and uncheck the "I do not want to participate in rankings":
http://hwbot.org/profile.account.do

[Dolk]

its unchecked and still saying that.

I think I figured it out, during submission I was checking that box that said "Do not rank this score..."

[I.M.O.G.]

Could try recalculating scores and see if they'll count them:
http://hwbot.org/community/user/dolk?tab=options

Heard of other people deleting submissions, and resubmitting. That may be another option. EDIT: refer here: http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6458520#post6458520

EDIT2: you got it right now, your points are starting to show up:

:bang head Let me see that pink bat,

[Dolk]

yeah that was a rookie mistake :(

[I.M.O.G.]

I've seen about a half dozen other people do it, and that's just from skimming this section every so often. Don't sweat it.

[Deanzo]

Should also be pointed out in this thread that all of Brolloks scores were done with air cooling!

SS, Dry Ice, LN2 is not needed.......Though if you can, it would make it a walk in the park :)

Also as a tip to help you gain Ed's 920.
A video card like a 8800GTX or CPU's like a E6600, Q6600 or i7 920 score really good points even on air cooling.
If you don't have one, see if you have a friend that doesn't take part in hwbot and use theirs!

[Brolloks]

Thanks for that Dean...yep guys, you should beat me in no time, as I said, if I can do it anyone can do it:)

[ihrsetrdr]

I don't want your i7 920, just a clipping off the tree yer growin' them on. ;)

[MIAHALLEN]

^^^ QFT :D

Maybe he can make a hybrid that grows 980X chips :clap:

[Brolloks]

Kyle, that is just priceless man:D

[Dolk]

So yeah the temperature just dropped 30F outside. The sad thing is that I have to study for a Calc III final for thursday.

Things need to be planned better so that I can win competitions :p

[Khemikal]

I'll take your Calc 3 final for you if the price is right ;)

[Dolk]

You'll probably fail.

Class average for the 2nd and 4th exam was a 54%. Yeah for impossible tests!

[col_sanders]

man you have your final so soon. Though i get roundhoused by calc3, bio2, chem2 each on the following day of each other.:chair:
good luck, that **** is hard and my calc notebook is byfar the one taking up the most pages of content

must find time to run some benches. I've done one so far on a free weekend and am getting my feet wet with it slowly

[CharlieCS]

Wait , you are third right now .Does one need to get to second place to win ? Kinda hard :p Or am i missing something because of all the OT ?

[I.M.O.G.]

Just need to get more than 392.10 points, and you take the prize. :)

[Dolk]

That won't be difficult.

I hope to make it in the top 50 by tonight after my final.

Calc III final at 7pm, Start benching at 9pm. Fall asleep at 4 AM :p

[MIAHALLEN]

Calc III :eek: That sucks Dolk....calc ain't no joke. I made it through calc I and into adv calc w/ physics....that was where I finished math :p

That crap was not easy!!! :(

Best of luck with the finals :thup:

[Brolloks]

Just need to get more than 392.10 points, and you take the prize. :)

Exactly, and if more than one guy beats me the top score will take the 920 home :)

[Dolk]

CALC III Passed finished, done!

I'll be up till 4 AM benching starting now.

Brolloks, get ready to ship that chip my way :p

[Bobnova]

Hell yes, well done! Now get to work.
Get a livestream going :D

[Brolloks]

Great stuff Dolk, I'll box her up for you, ready for shipping ;)

[doz]

Ugh, I ran a few. I cant get much in points having only 1 system I guess :/

http://hwbot.org/community/user/tjgjkt

[Dolk]

14 tests in already. With only stock GPU :p

I should see about 200 tests tonight with out even taking out my second cpu :D

Yeah for 5 hour energy drinks!

[Bobnova]

Get 1pt each and you're all set :D

[Dolk]

I'm working with my GPU right now to get max. The new OC software ASUS put out for the Matrix cards is nice. So much better than CCC.

Btw, whats the max GPUv and MEMv for a 4870 512MB on Air? I don't want to over volt the GPU and lose it.

[doz]

Have you tried Afterburner Dolk?

[Dolk]

I believe so, but I don't think it supported voltage tuning.

The matrix board is a non-refrence board so I'm pretty much stuck with what ASUS has if I want to do voltage changes. The software is 200% better with the new release so I'm not worried about that anymore.

[Brolloks]

Come on Dolk, you have not even surfaced on the top 20 as yet?:shrug:

[Dolk]

I haven't submitted all my scores from last night :p

[Brolloks]

Ah, so you letting us wait in anticipation? :)

[GoD_tattoo]

Meh....I'm like 54th....I have a long way to go...I'm going to try more with the 5850's tonight or tomorrow....On a side note, do you guys think remotely controlling the machines will have an effect on the scores? I was going to either use Remote desktop through a VPN or I've used Dameware? Any thoughts?

[nzaneb]

Nice Comp Ed! I just get back in town from vacation and you guys are going nuts benching!!

[Brolloks]

Thanks Nick, as soon as I hit 500 I will open this up again for the top 10-20 guys :)
I have a 930 sitting on my shelf that needs a new home :)

[nzaneb]

Yes. Any process that has access to utilize system resources, can potentially have a negative effect on a benchmark.

That's what I'm talkin about ;) :clap:

[Dolk]

So I thought every submission got me at least a single point...

[moocow]

So I thought every submission got me at least a single point...

More clockin' less talkin' if you expect to beat brolloks (I'd find a stash of 980x if I were you)

If you really want to beat him, find some extremely popular hardware and get your HW points first. Then work on 100-boints worth of globals. I dont think its possible to beat brolloks without multiple video cards/ processors =/

[nzaneb]

So I thought every submission got me at least a single point...

No. Hardware points are based on the popularity of the hardware being used, and where the submission falls within the group of submitted scores. If it's popular hardware you can consider it good if you pull 5-15 points per benchmark on air/h20. Unpopular hardware will usually result in .1 boint

[Dolk]

So if thats the case, how come all of mine are worth none...

http://hwbot.org/listResults.do?userId=20266&applicationId=12

Btw, if its based on popularity, I'm going to have to break out my server for OCing than. Its a Opteron 190 with 2 8600GTS in Sli. I bet not a lot of people have OCed a system like that :D

[moocow]

Only the top score for your hardware is ranked. So with your 4870, only the top score is ranked for points and the rest dont do anything.

But if you were to get another video card, such as a 4890 and got another 10 boints from that it would be added to your total so both of them would count.

[Brolloks]

The least you will get is 0.1 as long as the submission is the highest score for your profile in that particular hardware category.

[nzaneb]

You only get points for your best submission with that hardware my friend....

[Dolk]

BAH, well than this will be interesting.

[moocow]

BAH, well than this will be interesting.

It isn't easy enough to just spam the bot with scores to get boints or else everyone would be running around with hundreds of points :p

Well you will not get many points, as Nick said you score easier points with hardware that is very popular, do a search in the Bot database, top menu, and you can see which is worth the efforty or not.

[nzaneb]

BAH, well than this will be interesting.

Thinking you need a lot more hardware now? Don't get discouraged! keep pushing!

Pair the 8600GTS's with an i7 at about 4.5ghz +, run all the 3D benchmarks in single and SLI, and you might pull in about 10 points.

The Opteron 190 will probably get you about 10 points. There are only 2 submissions with a 190. So you can get some hardware golds for all the 2D benches ;)

[Khemikal]

I'm highly regretting getting this E3110 instead of a plain E8400 now days. I'm sure with a proper board and subzero cooling it would be a beast for globals. The problem is I'm on air and thus only capable of hardware boints at the moment. The low number of chips on the Bot makes getting boints in the 2D department horrible on this chip. I have learned my lesson and will adjust my buying habits for future purchases of hardware.

[Dolk]

I'm pretty scrub when it comes to Nvidia cards so, how much should I raise each of the settings? IE shadder, core, and memory? What about 2d and 3d with these cards? Whats the best program to OC with these cards?

Btw, I'm working with an old 8600GTS here :p

[icebob]

Hey Dolk, any tips on playing with an 890GX board?

I like EVGA Precision (but it's pretty limited), MSI Afterburner will offer software voltage control (if available), but neither offer the functionality of Rivatuner. You'll need Riva for LOD tweaking. Grab Furmark or AtiTools to scan for artifacts, and see how far you can push the cards, before you bench. This will give you an idea, and if you're pushing it enough, you'll find that you're clocks will need to change with the benches. So you'll need to do some further exploration. Note: You'll hit a wall with the Core and Shaders linked, you'll need to unlink them, to see how much further you can really go.
You won't need anything more than stock, on the GPU, for 2D benches (except PCMark 05)

[Dolk]

@ Icebob, I haven't been able to get into the 890 boards yet. Waiting for the 890FX.

I have not seen a lot of people with the boards but they should do the same about of OCing with the C3 Phenom IIs. For the TWKR who knows, since that is a C2 chip it may not take full advantage of the 890GX board.

If your looking at any of the 890GX boards I would wait for the 890FX boards, especially what ASUS is cooking up.

[CharlieCS]

Well that was implied,and i don't think word "Just" applies:p.This event is missing one thing a consolation prize:p, i know for a fact am not getting 400 points i don't have enough hardware for that.

[Dolk]

See thats when you start to borrow your friend's computers and just burn them to the ground for a single day. :D

[moocow]

See thats when you start to borrow your friend's computers and just burn them to the ground for a single day. :D

Hope your friends have a 980x :p

[Dolk]

To many people have the top range CPUs and GPUs, I'm going for the oldschool scores. They may be low, but if I cover enough I may just win.

Whats also nice is that at work I'm surrounded by old school components.

[I.M.O.G.]

Don't forget, if you can mix a top end component with old school gear that helps a lot too. A lot of people have been running old GPU's with brand new CPU's to steal old scores and boints. ;)

[Dolk]

Thats the plan stan

[Brolloks]

Come on guys, 6 days left, there has to be somebody out there that can catch me:shrug:

[Voidn]

Come on guys, 6 days left, there has to be somebody out there that can catch me:shrug:

Your run from 1 to 391 was quite impressive :attn: and very few have what it takes!

[Brolloks]

Thanks, I really hope it inspires others to do something similar :)

The 920 will be up for grabs, even after this contest's expiration date I will have another variation.

[Dolk]

Well I gave it everything I had captain, in the end my AMD systems really need a huge OC burst in order to compete with all these Intel chips. If only I had Dice :(

[Bobnova]

I'm sure you can track some down, the science department at your school should know where it can be found. Or just skip it and go LN2 :P

[Brolloks]

3 days to guys guys, the 920 is begging to get away from me for relocation:bday:

[Dolk]

So guess what? I'm going home Thursday night for a meeting on Friday at noon. That means after lunch Friday I'm going to be picking up 40lbs+ of DICE.

Now I highly doubt that I will get enough to beat you, but I may get up into the 20s if I do this right.

This is also depends on if my PII 940 doesn't completely die on me.

[Brolloks]

Great stuff Dolk, if no one beats my score it I might give it to the one that has made the most progress, depends on how my week goes ;)

[CharlieCS]

Now you say that !


That how the contest should have went to begin with :p , just saying.

[icebob]

Common dude Ed is putting this cpu right out of his pocket, no review sample here the dude is willing to give it away.... so the only thing you have to do is get your arse to work! pretty simple!

[diaz]

Nice, I could, but I have a wife and kids.. Impossible..

Dolk says he'll be benching LIVE on friday, around 2pm central (-6 UTC). The PhII 940 has a date with destiny apparently :rock:

Definately....I tried a ton of stuff. Got a few points here and there, but it seemed like if you werent using random hardware or LN2, forget big points....

Definately got me hooked though...Had a lot of fun...

[EarthDog]

I was hoping someone would surprise the shhh out of me and pop some monster scores though... But 300+ points is a ton to make up and can only be done with DI/LN2....I had a hunch this thing wasnt leaving your house on these terms. I saw the goal and chuckled a bit knowing it wouldnt go anywhere... :)

[Brolloks]

Well all of the 392 points was done on air in ten days, so it was not impossible...improbable yes...was also hoping for a surprise.

[Bobnova]

I got 96! Would have been 120-130 if i hadn't forgotten two benches.

[Dolk]

Did I win?

[rainless]

Did I win?

No. I did.
