Damn I need some dice and to do some single card runs :(
Jeffro64
04-27-2009, 07:46 PM
That's how I should have started is with a single card.... and at stock speeds on cpu. I'll get it right with my new system when I get it built.

It's all good Jeffro. Thanks for all the effort. Pretty much with your Tri-SLI you can get points in three categories :D Just run each 3D bench first in Tri-SLI, then move to XP install and do SLI, then disable SLI or rip two cards out and do single card runs ;)
BTW get in vent sometime and we'll talk you through all of this :)

04-27-2009, 08:45 PM
Yeah, I was talking with Supes about Vent. I gotta go and get a mic or headset first though.

Alright guys, the gauntlet has been thrown, 411 is making a run for #2 and we need to extract the lead from our asses and get some points up at the bot. If you have new/unbenched hardware, you'd better get to submitting at the bot, base lines, mild overclocks, extreme overclocks, the kitchen sink. Lets hold the line gang!

I'll try and do some single card runs but I don't get much free time. Plus with the baby here I can't crank the a/c up too high. We'll see though.

Fruck, what should I do guys?????? Make a quick dice run with the 4870 on the 790i for catch up points at teh bot? or just get movin on putting the 790i 24/7 rig together then setup the REX for tomorrow?

We were just passed up by our fellow Americans at NBOC. I've been talking with these guys and their Team Captain Reverend and they are a cool bunch of overclockers with even less members than us, 12 to be exact. I threw up the invite for them to come play with us during Low Clock Challenges.

06-09-2009, 09:16 AM
Looks like 411 is having to rebuild its team in teh wake of a split Cranium (user who mistakely caused the goof). It appears that all the 411 hwbot members will need to move themselves back from their "no team" status into the "411overkill" team status again. :headspin:
This is the "Big Suck" for the 411 gang as I'm sure there are members with points that have faded away or will take quite some time to move themselves over. For them to take #2 again, it'll take 100% effort by the team.
:shithappens:"
I reckon its just NBOC vs OCA for a while.fight5

No link because it was run before the patch with my 965, and it wouldn't let you make them public at the time due to FM's coding issues. I had a SS, but they said it was to fuzzy, like I'm going to cheat for a measly 20 pts....

OCed to 785/1100 now and getting ready to run some benchs (DLing the 3dMark stuff now)
Dunno if it will help much but I will try :)

I answered my question. Somethin I have been meaning to do and others might is go to HWBot and look at each of your benches. Save the pics of each bench submitted that netted you points incase something goes wrong on their end. For example 411overkill. I see that some haven't been able to regain all their points and this might be one of the causes. I know that I don't have all my pics of benches submitted and would hate to lose them if somethin should go wrong.

Apparently a change in the code by Rich has caused a removal of hardware points across the spectrum of Hwbhot Members.

Looks like we have some benching to do here. We are back in spot #4 by 20 points. I know we have the LC challenge going on but crank those systems up and lets get back to second place. I will be getting the dewar filled this weekend and trying to tame the 975. i think I may have to get the 4870x2's installed for some points.

Not extreme yet, but I listed my quad system out cheap enough to get another 550, board and a 4890.
If it sells. I firesaled it so it should be good. But it is more HTPC with the possiblty of running 3600MHz I guess than a bench machine. 3700 benches was all I could pull on the Foxconn board.. the ASUS board has a terrible "bus wall" at 250 with most bios. Chew said "there isnt" and posted a shot at 258.. but thats about my last point I can do anytihng too... and it starts gettign hard to handle at 250... 260 is right out. Between there.. .you can make it post and bench... TRied the "bus wall free bios"es (hard to force flash) system would not post. Kept getting that "press f1 to continue..."
Goign to give extreme cooling a shot and with 4 cores if it clocks well (4GHz unstable at 4 cores) gettign a foot in the door will continute to not be a problem. Will try and grab another week 21 chip if I can as well in case this one suffers from catastrophic failure :)
Long story short, I got points now, to keep them however is going to need a Vitamin Hw shot though.

All boints on my part are straight-up boints; No Globals in the bunch and earned a few trophys in the process. In fact, I've yet to earn anything related to Global boints but not that I'm worried about it.
I'll do what I can do and the rest will tell the story.....:cool3:

Globals are nice indeed if you can earn them but there is the "Poof - it's gone" factor that comes with them.

Yah, I tried using my baton as an intermediary means of threatening my hardware into performance mode. Resulted in two deceased 9800gx2's. So I changed up my tactic and did the good cop/bad cop routine but that failed.
So it seems not all life experiences translate into better overclocking. But sub-zero liquid cooling always works out great :D

A bit optimistic I beleive as it does not take into account the inevitable surge once they realize we are for real .....
They may be here from time to time but with a 11K lead they have no reason to take us seriuously until we get closer. I am willing to bet once we do get with in stiking distance we will see a significant surge from Hellas and Pure as neither will go down as easily as some of the teams we have passed recently ....
Maybe wrong but I think a tremendous battle will insue once we secure third in the world ... from that point on we will be standing toe to toe with the best of the best.
It may very well come down to who is finaced better ... not nessecarilly the best and most skilled clockers ..... this is where sponsership could really make an impact.
Speculation of course
But one thing is a sure thing
It is going to be a hell of a ride .................... :thumbsup:

It's interesting how my perception of this race changes.
Obviously, binning plays a role and access to nonexistant "ES" GPU's is a big advantage and a few guys will always have that edge. But it's starting to seem like access to mods and software to bypass limits/protections is much more important for the global boint game as a whole. When we obtain those it leads to an across the board surge for the team.

I agree Patch .... but numbers will rule ....
For instance ... we have what maybe 10 guys with 980x's and 480's
if they have 11 we will lose .... if they have 9 we will win
In the global arena at that level to boints are so close numbers will determin the outcome I beleive ....
the mods and software will be a must to compete on their p[laying field and make no mistake this war will be waged oin their turf ....
Question is how much factory/sponcership support will they recieve.. and what will be the resolve of said sponcers to insure a good old boys club victory ....
Lets face it if Intel Gigabyte and MSI gang up on us at the pinacle we will be chewed up and spit out .... Finacing a war against the manufatures would prove to be to demanding even for our richest members ....

I agree with most of this, but as a "global" guy, most of our walls are CPU limits.
This is where binning means everything.

Don't really agree with much of this. With the latest revision, its not a rich boys sport any longer. Our team's standing depends on constant benching no matter what you have for equipment. Almost all of the older teams have 50% or more of their members inactive or awol.
Not only will constant participation from most of our members propel us, but it will also serve to lure active benchers away from inactive teams ie. Jor, Patch, Dom, ect... This will make us surge faster than anyone could have ever guessed.
Our global guys don't need sponsorship to succeed, but we do need better chips and gpus. This is where binning is essential. If we can get in front of the sponsored guys in some areas with a 6.5 980x, the sponsors will just grease the way to global golds....but they aren't essential.
wow the more I see the enthusiasm, sportmanship and overall spirit of our top/all members the more I believe we can be at the top and be respected and feared by the rest of the world.
It is only a matter of time, and you are an integral part. Lets do this!

I agree, not that having access to the rich boy parts doesnt help from a global standpoint, but overall just benching every piece of hardware you have in sight will net us benefits.

doe noe about that Rom
$ 1500 is the price of admission to compete Globaly now ... you know this as well as any as you have spent it... $ 1500.00 is a lot to some of us .... Throw in the pots and Ln2 consumption and the price of addmission keeps raising ....
Constant benching is in fact what got us to this level as well as you mention the intrest in top benchers from some other teams is a good observation and has helped tremedously. I hope this trend continues as there are so many great benchers out there....
I do agree the new platform is better at the bot, but to think finacial resorces do not still run this game may be a bit nieve IMO
It is all about the money in the Global game my friend, Binning as you mention takes a tremendous amout of resorces. What 10 980x's to find one that will do 6.5 ....maybee 20 .... serious cash my Romulan friend
I for one do not know how this is going to turn out, but it is going to be fun. I am sure of that ........... :thumbsup:

I can't really discuss the topics effectively when the topics change from one post to the next....so I will summarize and leave it alone.
Global can be expensive, but many of us have far more than $1500 invested in our bench equipment, and many of those don't work globally.
A used 980x can now be had for the same amount as a used Xquad cost just months ago.
The key to being a top guy on this team is constant flipping of equipment, and the constant search for a better result through work ethic and better product. If you use the component and immediately sell it, you will stay liquid for the next big thing.
The team thrives from constant benching from as many members as possible on a consistent basis. We need to have our "global" guys to attract attention and lure possible recruits. Everyone on the team serves as an essential part.
The global guys will only succeed as much as the components allow them to. Yes mods and software are essential, but you will never catch a 6.5Ghz chip with a 6GHz one no matter how determined you are. Sponsorship might serve to increase our chances of finding a better component, but it will never happen if we don't continue to hunt for it in the interim.
Lastly, sitting in your race car discussing how to best run the race while most of the cars are 3/4's of the way around the track, doesn't sound like a good strategy to me. Those of us who are in the pack at the front, know what must be done to win this thing for us. The uber cool part is if you ask us for our opinion or tactics for victory, we will be more than happy to help you in any way we can. We know through experience what to do and what not too.
If it were me, I would stop talking and listen. If I wanted to know more about 2d I would approach Splave or Gutterz about it....CPUZ, Patch is your man....PCMark, Jor-El or Rick....3d=Dent, Duke or me....all of the above or just epic moral support, Kal is the bomb. Just pick your target, shut up, and get to work.;)

Well put brudda. There are tons of killer points you hit in that post. First, global does matter. The good thing is that we have a mix of guys who cover both hw and global ends of the spectrum. Shut up and listen is some very good advice. We have guys who have proven success. Obviously they know something about what they are doing. The absolute best part is...... ding, ding, ding........ we are a humble, happy, giving group of overclockers who are willing to help each other out!!! Nobody here has too big of an ego to help the other guy out. That list for 2d & 3d is epic too. Some great benchers we have here. ;)

Megadittos SpliggityDiggity! There are so many great things about the guys we fly with. I take great comfort knowing that my friends have got my six. I also must add that our fleet seems to continually attract more and more great members who have the same drive for success and giving nature. It seems kind of cliche, but teams who play well as a team, always finish on top. We are blessed to have so many guys who understand that and a leader who nurtures it.

In less then a month in OCA I had the chance to talk and meet with great members and just exchange ideas about our common passion without any bs or people asking for anything in return! This experience guys is unique.
Our team is so respectfully classy and willing to help people (even when they come from another forum and another team) that I said to myself that something must stink there BUT IT DIDN'T!
You guys make this sport look pretty and we all know that on a competing level this is hard to achieve.
