Benchmarks:

Aquamark

Prizes:

Aquamark
Post a score, any score. The winner will be chosen according to who comes closest to a pre-drawn number. The winner will recieve a Gigabyte EP35-DS3P motherboard courtesy of Brolloks!

3DMark01
Best tweaked & optimized score wins. Platforms and results will be compared to existing results @ hwbot and judged by the benchmark team seniors to determine the winner. Get your CPU going along with your 3DMark01 skills and you could find yourself the owner of an HD 4870 CF setup courtesy of rdrash!

3DMark05
Highest score wins. Pretty straight forward here, lets see what you've all got. The winner will recieve an Intel E8500 dual-core processor courtesy of rdrash.

PCMark05
Highest score wins. We have two categories, quad-core and dual-core. The quad winner will recieve a Corsair HX520 PSU courtesy of sno.lcn. The dual-core winner will recieve a Kit if GSKill 2GB DDR2 ram courtesy of maxi.

PiFast
Best time wins. All results should be ran on v4.1 (the DL link is in the PiFast HWBot thread). The winner will recieve an EVGA 7950GT KO SLI setup courtesy of Brolloks.

Random Aquamark Guess
This is for any forum member not actually competing. Pick a name from the contestant list, if it matches the winner of Aquamark you will recieve a Scythe Orochi CPU Cooler courtesy of Brolloks.

Rules:

Submissions: Results must be posted to HWBot. That means you need to have an account @ hwbot so you can submit the results. All participants must be members of OC Forums bench team @ hwbot.

When you have a result please post it here with the hwbot link to your score(s). The hwbot result link looks like this - http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=756894. Results should include a public link to the score @ Futuremark's Orb, the ORB URL looks like this - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=4395685. A screen-shot that meets hwbot requirements is also OK. Please read the hwbot terms when you create your account so you know the screen-shot requirements.

Cooling: Air or H2O only. No sub-zero! H2O loops must use a standard radiator using an air-cooled rad. No ice water loops.

Tweaking: LOD is allowed. No Speed hacks or Hardpage. All results may be reviewed at any time with the final decision being made by Deanzo and myself. Keep it fun! Oh yeah, no i-Rams on PCMark05

One prize per contestant. If someone is the winner in two benchmarks, the runner-up will recieve the prize. Everyone competing please post here and you'll be added to the roster.

Good luck everyone!

Albyno · 08-29-08, 09:59 PM

sweet add me to roster

Evilsizer · 08-29-08, 11:37 PM

what if i compete with atom would it be fair to me still? LOL

ok i might do this on the off chance i win something, i never win anything,unless its ebay. LOL

if Ross joins we all lose

:P

*edit*
maxi you may want to get more detailed on the cooling part. as just reading it could give the impression that its just the cpu on air or water,just imo.
as well if the person wins in more then one area would he get the choice of which prize before going to the runner-up?

Spawn-Inc · 08-30-08, 12:10 AM

i'm in.

MIAHALLEN · 08-30-08, 12:46 AM

You already know!

rdrash · 08-30-08, 01:17 AM

Good Luck everyone!!!!

Albyno · 08-30-08, 01:24 AM

something jsut hit me. I assume posting is no issue as long as the winner pays for it? eg to Australia?

El<(')>Maxi · 08-30-08, 01:47 AM

We're not going to nickle and dime, prizes are just that, prizes shipped free to your door.

Neuromancer · 08-30-08, 02:09 AM

Wow thats amazing. Good luck to all and congrats to the winers. Only test I could possibly win is AM3 (since its a random number) but I have to install xp :sigh:

Any chance of a ebellishment of "Best tweaked & optimized score." Not sure what that means. I know there are stickies on how to optimize (never done it, seems dirty to me, i bench on my main rig, disabling something would be like cutting off my arms to reduce weight in a bike race, ok not exactly), is that all you mean?

If I was in charge, I would average the top 3 HWBOT results (with identical HW) and get a percentage of how close you came to those.

For example, if you scored 50K, but the average of the top 3 with the same HW is 55K, the difference is 10%...Whereas if I scored only 30K with my HW, yet the average of the top 3 with the same HW was 31K I would have scored within 3% and therefore I would have optimized my HW better than you.

The closer you came to the "best" with identical HW, the better your chance of winning.

HousERaT · 08-30-08, 07:31 AM

Dak9767 · 08-30-08, 09:38 AM

Do we need stock clocks at first like in FW?

MIAHALLEN · 08-31-08, 05:46 AM

nope

rdrash · 08-31-08, 07:25 AM

Why oh why is there not much more traffic in this thread....Talk about an opportunity? All you have to do is bench your rig and you could win some free stuff...don't worry about shipping the team will cover one way or another...even overseas shipping.

There must be some bored gamers or something here at OCF with some hardware they want to showcase....get in on the fun guys and gals!

I'm just lost as to explain why so few people want to try and get free stuff....

And it's not junk either, for instance the 4870s have only been tested once, I actually bought four cards by mistake...so now you have a chance at two complete retail packages for free...JUST BENCH!!!!!

All the prizes are good hardware, who doesn't want a nice motherboard, nice ram, psu etc... not to mention a very strong E8500 that comes by the way of one of OCFs great Benchers and a World Class Clocker named Gautam through Brolloks who then traded it to me for an E8600 + some dough...I mean come on would I give up an E8600 that did 4.5GHz at only 1.4v set in BIOS on air for a dud CPU, would you?.....

lets see some action in here peoples.....this competition starts tomorrow....so get on it folks!

BENCH BENCH BENCH
