i started just like this benching and trying to beat whoever was in front on 3dmark site.
Then i found hwbot and the ball started to roll, more benches, more people and moar power!
if i were you id try and see why he is in front with less speed, look at timings/speed on ram, volts, clocks and os.
maybe he has a decent OS with a few tweaks, or maybe his ram profile suits the bench!

yep I'm already on it. Got a secondary drive and I'm going to install win 7 on it soon and will push a bit harder. My run was at app stable setting just to see where I'd land. Now to try and get 1st. Damn it mandrake, I think I'm hooked.

Lol...same here. I bought both Ghosts and BF4 but haven't really played either one due to studying and benchmarking.
Currently #2!
of 2. But I think I can beat him. It's only worth another 1/2 point, but that's my point to get.
Then I'm #1 baby!! LOL
Lol. Don't waste a lot of time trying to get by that guy. He already has a million backups for everything he runs. Played that game before.
Just do your best, honestly, and have fun. Don't get consumed in the points thing. Keep it fun and you'll be much happier.
EDIT- BTW, that submission is in the wrong category. You have a 6000+ Windsor, not a 6500 Kuma.
It's just listed as '6000+ X2'.

Thanks Mr. Scott -
Blaylock, I looked at the submission here:
http://hwbot.org/submission/2480652_blaylock_pifast_athlon_x2_6500_41.61_sec
And the screenshot doesn't have everything needed in it for it to be a legal submission (please refer to Mr. Scott's post above).
Also, will need to change the CPU type as it isn't the correct one.

Ya I just noticed that today too. It seems when I resized the image to fit under 2gb it chopped part of it I'm just going to delete that sub as I have a better run now any how
Nice! You'll find that as you progress, you'll better your scores frequently. Keep at it.......and keep it fun.

Scores edited.
Also, Thank you for the invite to the team. I do not have my 20 points yet and I'm not sure if I'll get there in the allowed 30 days. However, I am very interested in joining and was planning on submitting my entry request once I reached the 20pt min.
Edit: May have mis-understood your intentions. Joined team Overclockers.com in HWBot. Thanks

Time to resurect this thread.
Ok, so now that I've got some dedicated benching hardware arriving and such I've been working on some of the suggestions form the previous posts.
Todays problem is in creating bootable iso's. I've created stripped OS's using nlite and RT seven but I can't seem to make them bootable. I know it's a noob thing and I feel silly even asking the question, but how can I make my ISO bootable. I've googled it and there seems to be 100 programs to do this but can't you just save the ISO as bootable?

IIRC the option was to create and save an ISO image. I've put the image on a flash drive, CD, DVD and no luck. I can't even get the image to run the windows installer thru windows like the original disk. Kinda dumbfounded.
I'll post much more on this tonight as I get into it again.
I'll try wintobootic again when I get home. I seem to remember this working before. Been a while. LOL
