Welcome to the Official TECHPOWERUP HWBOT Team. It was decided that the unofficial team would be turned into an official team. A competitive HWBOT team will bring more prestige to the TECHPOWERUP site and forum. There are many of you that are already hardware enthusiasts and overclockers, and you may find that competing for individual points and trophies to be rewarding, maybe even addictive. There are also annual team competitions, and with the amount of hardware enthusiasts here, the team should be able to rank very competitively. The door is also open for our forum to host in-house competitions with possible monetary and/or hardware rewards.



Our Team Leadership:

Captain: @W1zzard

Co-captain: @ir_cow

Co-captain: @damric

Co-captains will be determined annually, so if you would like to become a co-captain, express your interest. It's tedious work to review submissions!



To join in on the fun, you will need to complete a couple registrations, and familiarize yourself with the general rules.

Join here: https://hwbot.org/

Join our Team: https://hwbot.org/team/techpowerup/

Optionally join the forum: https://community.hwbot.org/

And the discord: https://discord.com/invite/DWQVaSs



Next read the general rules:


Also be sure to read the rules for each individual benchmark at HWBOT pertaining to what you are benching and submitting.

There are also additional rules during events such as TEAM CHALLENGES, so be mindful to read those as well when applicable.



Ok now let's get some useful software that you will probably need:

CPU-Z is required for pretty much every benchmark: https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html

GPU-Z is required for 3D benchmarks and pretty much anything that uses GPU compute: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

Benchmate is very useful for submitting 2D benchmarks: https://benchmate.org/

All of the 3DMark Legacy benchmarks and product keys: https://benchmarks.ul.com/legacy-benchmarks



I would like more experienced HWBOT users to help guide novices, newcomers, and those overclocking veterans who might be returning to the game from a few years hiatus. HWBOT is 10% about silicon lottery, 20% perseverance, 20% cooling capacity, and 50% litigation so try and get those screen shots correct!


I plan on updating this thread with advice, tips, links to tutorials, and other helpful information.


Thanks for checking this out, and I hope to see you on the score wall.

- Luke


@ir_cow @freeagent please help me out and check this for errors :D

We're going to add much more information but I wanted to release this now.

Following thread. Just got a Rog Strix B450-I on the bench, and have a 1300X, 1600AF and 5600G to bench. 1300X is currently on it.

Cooled by an EK Nucleus CR360 AIO that is competitive with custom water.

Great job making the team official Luke. And thanks again for buying me this motherboard.

Figured I'd post this here now. Luke, if you want to move it to the OP eventually let me know and I'll delete this post. It shows the ins and outs of stuff most benchers probably know, but novice benchers would have no idea and end up getting subs removed.

Useful. Maybe a helpful mod can add to O.P. since I lack edit privilege.

If this is the new official homepage for TPU's team, it should be set as such on the HWBot page under "Homepage". Right now it links to the old thread.
Weird. Changes won't save, so ticket going in. Thanks for pointing that out.

@damric That works but I'm already there (The bot's server) of course.
Was referring to a discord server for TPU in particular, I was sure there was one before at least but if not, it's all good.

Good question. I have no idea if there is a TPU discord :D

Let's revive this team together guys! Gogogo, make those subs!

I'm fighting with hardware troubleshooting more than expected so results are going to be pretty slim until things decide to work. Currently diagnosing a potentially dead RAMDAC on one of my Voodoos and why the VRM on one of the nForce2 boards is only showing 900mv instead of 1.45v... All the hardware I shelved months ago has somehow developed significant issues.

Sorry to hear. Do you have anything more recent you can use, just to get in the competition?
