It appears some people have taken the SS without the CPU-Z valid and the TPU Validator and added it in later in subsequent shots on another computer. I don't see a reason it shouldn't be allowed, but that isn't up to me

Well I can get all the results I want but with no way to get online its negated. Good luck to the remaining peeps :)

Wireless card didnt work so Im out of ideas

Oh I wasnt aware that was allowed. I can of course video tape my run for verification if thats needed. Can an admin clear this up?

Going over submissions for said results now. As of right now you MUST have cpuz valid AND super pi validation at the same time the run is made. Furthermore I don't see any way or reason why the rules would be subject to change, but of course the staff will bring this up for discussion.


If you have anyway submitted a run that is not in compliance with the stated rules, your scores will be invalid. Depending on the severety of the violation, your scores will either be blocked, or member will be given a vacation. Lets keep it clean and abide by the prescribed rules.

Lets keep this clean gents and not try to exploit any of the rules. Happy benching :)

I'm gonna go ahead and make a command decision on this one. Its obvious that many benchers are running scaled down os to obtain their best possible times. This means "no internet" and they are carrying their screenshots to other computers to get cpu-z and tpu validated. This is gonna be deemed "ACCEPTABLE". Remember we have an honor system, nuff said.

One item that needs addressing is V2-V3's validated Superpi V 1.5 result. WTF? does the validator always work with 1.5? Regardless, V2-v3 will have to run on v.1.6 to make a qualifying run.

- Additionally, I've decided to keep the combatants from each round and carry them over to the succeeding rounds since we have so little combatants. Points system will remain in tact. This means a loser from the 1st round may have a chance at redemption in Rounds 2 and 3 FTW.
~Any questions?~

techPowerUp! SuperPi 1.6 version.

SuperPi 1.6 Download

Validator

I think I have followed all the rules to a t... I hope. Even submitting scores from the rig I am benching in the contest.

Yes you have, cept everyone hates u for ur low time, LOL, thx for not trying to blurr the lines.

Well f@#$! I gots to go to bed. I stayed up extra late tonight as I wasn't satisfied with my previous 3 hours of benching and not one better run. Got back out of bed a minute ago to get the second in a half lower score. :)

lol man
superpi 1.6 is the same as XS 1.5 one
validations should be exactly the same

your runs look pretty good to me man :)

Just a quick point. Some of you need to do a better job on your screens. Some are so tiny or blurred they cannot be read with a magnifying glass...

Come on guys. Some of you are getting way out there from what the rules are for screen shots. Some of you have more than half of some of your software/utilities cut off while others don't have CPU-z validations. Heck I even seen a 1.51 CPU-z in the screenshot but a 1.52 CPU-z validation? It's not that hard. There are more to these contests than just running the bench at the said speed. Proper screenshots are a part too as well using the right version of the software/utility detailed in the contest. I can understand not having the internet thing, taking a screen shot and saving the cpuz file to upload it and submit your run on another computer but having improper screenshots and the wrong software/utility versions I can't. You might as well run the bench at the wrong speed too!

I've been getting a shitload of pm's regarding the lame screenshots that have been submitted thusfar in the contest. Also complaints of it being unclear if it is o.k. to super-impose screenys taken on a non-internet os onto a internet capable os. At first this was acceptable, but it opened too many doors. Some benchers werent sure so they benched what they brung, others chose to play the gray from the git go. I can see problems arising and it'll be no fun for anyone at the end of the day. We live and learn in anything new so here we are learning.


SO ROUND 1 is being extended to Wednesday, August 5, 2009, at 0700 hours Hawaii Time. You have until this time to get your screenys in on time. CPU Tweaker is being dropped from the i7 screeny requirments so we have continuity across the contests. Its not a popular decision, I know.



ROUND 1 REVISED SCREENY REQUIREMENTS






-Screenshot with the following all in one screeny (No internet? Get some): (REVISED!!!!!)

• Super_PI_Mod_1.6 w/Validator 32M
• techpowerup validator showing valid run
• CPU-Z 1.51 w/processor, mainboard, mem, spd,
• Text document w/ "Name, date, time, score, "Overclockaholics SPI_32M Challenge"
• CPU-Z validation link that mirrors the date,time u completed the benchmark w/your name on it must be in your sumbission post.
• AGAIN, Uploading to the forum is not necessary, having a clearly viewable screenshot IS!

This is a perfect example of a screenshot:

Enjoy the rest of the contest.

oh man how long is it taking lol
i can go take a shower, have dinner and beer and this thing is still looping lol

10m43s should be enough for second round from my first run i think...thats what it seems to be heading towards :)

oh what
extended lol
oh well

i'll post it up anyways

how am I supposed to use cpuz 1.51 with a valid??? you can only valid with 1.52. So i followed the rules as best I could 1.51 in screen as rules state. For a valid u gotta use 1.52 tho. At least tell me if the screenshot is valid for my submission. I stayed up till like 4 am trying to get something decent in.

i just validated with 1.51 :S

omg I just saw we need different set of apps for screenshot? back to the drawing board...at least my hypers will be back in time 4 this one!

I get an error everytime i use 1.51. It works perfectly fine with 1.52

oh wait internet os required.... im out guys have fun :(

gonna do some real benching and get back into the top100, peace!

lol weird

just put your name at the validation tab and clock publish
it worked for me
or download CPUz 1.51 again or something
how can it work here and not there makes no sense

Well dinos you did what I had been trying to do for the last 4 days. Run my RAM at those speed. No matter what I did I couldn't. Got to get back in there and try some more.

FYI
i didnt restart
just tightened it to 7-7-7-21-1T now and it's going

not much faster but faster nonetheless >> maybe high 42s or so

i'm done here i think
these RAM modules are too prescious to die on me i think lol

eh it doesnt matter. i wasted enough ln2 on this already

Well my Muskins don't have that in it and definitely not my HyoerX's. My Blades cas 7's prolly did but those went back for a refund. Oh well, like I said it will come down to the fastest RAM.
But don't think I am layin down as I have until 8/5 now to pwn that score!

@ supes - Sorry if my complaint was the tipping point. At least I kept it in the discussion thread as I already knew your pm box was crazy! :rollineyes:

lol dude if i spent 4 days on this what do you think i would end up on... :p heheheh

Prolly 10m 30s!!! I sure the hell ain't no super pi!

nah actually if i could get close to 40 i would be pretty stoked

but there is no point killing RAM over this

i can see that you still have some tweaking to do with the info provided in your screen

just keep at it

Hey dinos, shouldn't you be playing high clock challenge with Andre Yang right now? fight12 :blush:

Aren't you missing the CPUz validation link mirroring the date, time w/name?

First post/rules post has it:

But I'll add it to this last post, thx for being a gem and pointing that out :D

Glad I could help. :rofl

I might even have to jump in now that you've extended it. :good:

i've submitted according to your post before i started
dont tell me they arent right now lol

lol you tweak better than me dude
common show us the magic :p

Come on guys, cut Soups some slack, its not like I'm getting the ole rub & tug for this. :shithappens:"

so are my posts legit or what?

2 legit.

.....2 legit to quit

oh that's a gay rhyme hahah

I am going to have to hook up my pot as air just isn't going to get me there.

thats the spirit
:D

You been sneaking into my dreams again :rofl I'm just a noob trying to learn buddy. NooB4Life. We'll see how good this chip is whenever my pot gets here. Dang it, I really need a dewar :blush:
