Waiting for a great addition to the team

Yeah I finally figured out what the problem with XTU is: the insane vdroop it causes. The XTU benchmark will drop voltage by 25-40mv causing an instant crash. So I just had to rework my VRM setting and BOOM 1534 marks. I plan to top that with a 5.2Ghz XTU run. I also plan a to run several single threaded benchmarks on 5.4Ghz.
Also wanna say the following XTU is a weird benchmark because it only loads the cpu to the 60-95% area without using all cores so a 5 core high frequency run might actually have better yields than a 6 core low frequency run.
BTW I need more cooling
Also I have a friend over who knows where to get stripped OSes visiting so I'll be getting a proper software setups soon enough.

Nice! I mentioned that yesterday to 'add most volts'!

XTU needs cores... Unless you can gain a couple hundred or more mhz by dropping a core, more cores will win out.

Just ask Msi for special bios and ab extreme

There is a problem with the out of the box ln2 bios. It doesn't need special sauce, it needs fixed. Once it is fixed, its on.

Never tested last version cause my GTX 780 Lightning is still on the way :/

Just ran a few benchmarks on a fresh windows install with some small tweaks and the results were epic with Wprime being a 28% higher score at 5.25Ghz

Wasnt a big deal, I am here to help.
Unfortunately Nikose has stopped benching, this is why I asked him to join us and help us gather some points ^^

 

[vega22]

that's where we are all here dude

i aint benching much atm either but will help in anyway i can too.

i am hoping after xmas i can get a few bits and bobs i need to start benching again and then i will knock the dust off my phase cooler

I will discuss with Massman in order to create our small competition.
It will be just for fun and in a way that we can gain points for the team.
Competition will be also based on cheap/old hw (maybe) and benchmarks that gain from tweaks ( like 3d01, 3d03, 3d05, spi32m and others).

 

[vega22]

for me i just wish we could get some more of the guys from our 3d mark threads to submit their scores on the bot too and not just our threads.

if they joined too we would have an army of benchers all under the tpu banner.

any comps which promote tpu and the bench team sound ace to me dude

 

[HammerON]

I am finally adding the waterblocks for the GPU's and adding another rad. About half-way done with the build. I have been sitting on these parts for several months (along with the ASUS MVIE). Once I am done I will re-bench all of my 3d runs and figure out how to submit.
How do I join the team? I logged in to hwbot. I forgot that I made an account a couple years ago. It is under: HammerON.

http://hwbot.org/profile/

on that page it should show you the teams (on the right). change it to TechPowerUp! and that's it

submitting is a pain at first when you need to fill out all the feilds but after that you can use the same hardware and just change the details for the bench score and clocks and such.

 

[HammerON]

I also need to go and look at what requirements they have for each 3d benchmark (what should and shouldn't be disabled).

 

[d1nky]

great to see we got in the top100... maybe top 50 soon


I feel great things to come with TPU HWbot!! and thanks to those that are helping and interested!

BENCH ON!!

 

[vega22]

for the most part dude, if you can turn it off and still run the bench its ok on the bot

 

[FireKillerGR]

Also you can turn system info off if you wont submit your score on Futuremark's site

 

[vega22]

jebus!!!!


nikose boint's have now been added to the team

 

[FireKillerGR]

Hell yeah, I am the member of the month (for now).

Now I want my pie

Well, to be honest, its a complete dud until they fix the LN2 bios. The 109% limit is the lowest out of of the Classified, DCuII, and HOF. With the power issues on the LN2 bios, 109% is all you have until they fix it.

I have been holding off on publishing their review for 3+ weeks because of this issue.

Once the limit is raised, it offers 1.25v (more than most cards) so that should be good. And if you can manage to get your hands on MSI AB X, then it should be a monster, even on air.

 

[d1nky]

Me and firekiller are planning comps and prizes.... thoughts welcome

wewt!!!

lets see if that brings any more benchers out to play
