A hot topic on the benchmarking scene has developed in the form of a HWBOT forum poll created by BenchZowner to discuss whether or not to continue to allow Engineering Sample CPUs as boint scoring hardware. For those that may not know, an ES chip is one that is not released to the public, cannot be sold (legally), and can be coveted for its potential overclocking performance over retail chips. A lot of the sponsored overclockers use these chips and can potentially score more boints than an average joe that is using an unbinned retail chip, which is essentially the heart of the matter.

We here at team OC Forums are taking up arms to knock some heads together and gain a position on the front page of the teams ranking on HWBot.
Currently we are in 22nd position, and 892 points away from 20th. This sounds like a wide gap, but when you consider the resources we have it’s really quite attainable.

I’d like to welcome our two newest Benching Team members, Bobnova and Khemikal!
Both of these guys have been working on joining the team for a little while now, and I’m happy to say they’ve made it in. They’re both long time O/C members, and we’re all looking forward to benching with them for a long time to come.

Forum Wars is an online, team-based overclocking/benchmarking competition hosted by The Raptor Pit. Basically, each team is divided up into classes, based on hardware limitations. Classes compete against each other, and basically the team with the most winning classes wins the wars. There’s quite a bit of strategy involved in class placement, and we’ve got some guys on our team that are great at that. OC Forums is on quite an impressive winning streak, which we’d like to keep going.
