Good Question. Round 1 finishes 48 hours after I post "Last Call for Round 1 Benchmarks" in the submissions thread.

Benchers won't know when last call will be made so get ur best benches in asap and pay attention.

RomDominance 07-24-2009 02:14 PM

The Romulan wing of the NBOC military has gladly initiated the first stage of this battle, good luck to all of the combatants, Jolan True Centurions.

Kal-EL 07-24-2009 02:18 PM

Please follow RomDominance format for all future submissions, it'll make it easier for me to keep track.

Upload or offsite link ur screenies, whichever is abundantly clear to view. Try to stick to 1280x1024 res.

HITandRUN 07-24-2009 03:34 PM

Is it just me or is RomDominance's screenie very small? Its 875 x 495 and had to see.

RomDominance 07-24-2009 04:20 PM

Hey its a screen in 19x10 jpeg and i just uploaded it with the attachment button...don't know whats goin on unless the server downsizes them to fit a certain perameter.

Buckeye 07-24-2009 04:29 PM

Sure this starts when I had a ton of benching to do. Thanks for putting pressure on me Kal !!!

Is it ok to submit a 7.0ghz 32m run ?? ohcrap

dinos22 07-24-2009 05:26 PM

yellow font makes my eyes bleed

i'm not on black theme which is probably why eeek
can you edit leaderboard colour to something more eyesight friendly

lol

Kal-EL 07-24-2009 05:28 PM

Yah, the server downsized his screeny from whatever the original size was and it ended up the it is now. I can see all the necessary info on my side so its o.k. but just really really small.

It varies, sometimes screenies come out nice using upload and sometimes way too small. Do what u need to get a viewable screeny up.

Kal-EL 07-24-2009 07:07 PM

@dinos22 color changed for your soft eyes

@Drnip your cpu-z validation link added for you in your submission.

DrNip 07-24-2009 07:12 PM

I forgot to put my score in the notepad. Won't happen again.

Cecil 07-24-2009 07:40 PM

Um, I cant find Super Pi 1.6 anywhere. 1.5 is the highest I see.

And the Validator doesnt work for me. Tried it three times.

CPUZ 1.52 is glitched.

Chuchnit 07-26-2009 05:51 AM

Rev, if you get a bugged cpuz screenie, could you just load up eleet or any other software that confirms correct multi? This is a known bug. Actually cputweaker should clarify.

ask and ye shall recieve. But if it's a known bug, why is it being used?

Kal-EL 07-26-2009 06:06 AM

Its only being used in the core i7 contest. This here thread is the Core 2 contest. :laughing:

Seriously, so the validation link on the cpu clock still shows this "bug". Lemme know and we can talk about a switch back to 1.51 rev of cpu-z. This shoulda been brought up during the rules discussion.

sofos1990 07-26-2009 06:07 AM

Use memset for showing us the mem frequency!

Chuchnit 07-26-2009 06:07 AM

Because its the latest official release and a rule change is getting ready to be discussed because of this issue. I just read about this bug last night. That's why.

Kal-EL 07-26-2009 06:11 AM

Switching back to 1.51 solve this issue?

After I deleted all my posts and re-ran the bench's you are going to go back to 1.5?

DrNip 07-26-2009 06:15 AM

Come on guys. I'm needing a lil competition here as it is lonely on top. :D

Kal-EL 07-26-2009 06:16 AM

you can grandfather ur bench runs.

Here on out run it with 1.51 cpu-z.


Unfortunately, we gotta switch it back due to unfcircumcised circumstances.

Too late - all deleted as well as my 1.51 DL...sigh.

Are we to use 1.51 for both bench's now?

Far as I know, at this moment, the bug is with i7. Regarding ur previously deleted bench runs, werent your latest runs with 1.52 faster anyways?

Also, u deleted the screenies from your pc already?

Chuchnit 07-26-2009 06:25 AM

Yes use 1.5 for both benches. If you still have the screenies saved somewhere please upload them to maintain your ranking ;)

Chuchnit 07-26-2009 06:26 AM

Dang Kal I'm just steppin on your toes this morning :D Super ninja quick postage to be working :D

Kal-EL 07-26-2009 06:27 AM

I gotta hurry, I'm getting slammed with some heavy duty shit all night at work.

Rick, tell me, which bench setup did you delete faster scores on????? Corei7 or Core2?

I've restored you're deleted core 2 benchmark already and I thought ur i7 benchmarks with cpuz 1.52 were faster?

Reformat and changing OS's at the moment. No matter. So it is v1.51 for i7 and v1.52 for Core 2, correct?

Kal-EL 07-26-2009 06:32 AM

Run 1.51 for both just to have continuity between the two platforms. I'm changing the req's for Core2 also.

Keep in mind, all benchmarks that have already been uploaded and submitted will be grandfathered in and valid. All new benchmarks will be required to have 1.51 in them. So if you've just finished benching and were using 1.52, go ahead and submit them within the next two minutes and they will be valid. Any longer than that and you can hump camels.

Hope this satisfies everyone. I'll check back later to see the carnage.

And you be silent sofos...we have little enough screen room as it is. :taunt::taunt:

Cecil 07-26-2009 10:10 AM

So my runs with 1.51 are valid then?

And damn Im pissed about that EP45 blowing up. Now I cant enter the Core 2 one :(

Yes, all your posts are cool cecil. Sorry about your equipment bro.

Where does one download Super PI v1.6? (my google skills blow)

Doesn’t that leave the danger of the scores submitted with the 1.52 version being actually run at a higher speed? :Dizzy: I mean I’m sure we don’t have nobody trying to take advantage of the situation but still if there is something like this going on and its known to everybody I think everybody should submit it with the 1.51 version which would leave no doubt about the CPU speed. :thumbsup: It’s not like you need a monster LN2 session to rerun the benchies. Just my 5c to the story. Sorry everybody for putting more confusion into this but I just don’t feel this is fair at this point. :morpheus:

In reviewing the totality of the situation, this is the most "Fair" decision that can be rendered and the most "Accountable" action taken to preserve the integrity of the remaining portions of this contest.

Fortunately it was caught very early in the contest and the adjustment made without impacting any one bencher's overall standings.

In the scenario “a re-bench w/1.51cpu-z is implemented”, the only competitor that stands to lose is Rickss69. Every other competitor has demonstrated an improved PI score after moving to cpu-z 1.51.

Here are the current standings:
1- DrNip 920 DO 10m 49.453s
2- rickss69 950 DO 10m56.500s
3- RomDominance 920do 11m03.906s
4- Splave 920 d0 11m10.925s
5- Cecil 920 11m14.764s

So in essence, a re-bench would only affect rickss69. I do not feel that the burden of validity in this instance should be placed solely on rickss. The initial rules contained an unacceptable degree of imperfection and even with the new adjustment a certain degree of imperfection will remain. It is and always will be fallable.

So in balancing the likelihood of rickss being a dishonorable bencher and the impact on the standings, I find the actions taken to be both fair and indiscriminate.

This topic will be put even more to rest when rickss posts a yet improved PI time with the new cpu-z 1.51 requirement.

I’m all for fairness and if after this explanation of the current circumstances, any competitor that is currently ranked in the standings still feels my actions are “Unfair”, please feel free to voice your protest. I will re-assess the situation based on how impactful it is to those benchers already ranked. Outside of those parameters, the issue is perceived as resolved. CPU-Z 1.51 is required for all benches.
Supes- cool2
