Did not want to start a new thread as it looks like I am harping on abit!!! especially after recent benching successes!!! But then decided to anyway ;)

Today I won one of the prizes for being top in one of the three benches in the Kingston HOT Overclocking competition on HWbot.

Three benches make up the competition which is split in two time scales. After the first two weeks the leader in any of the three bench marks which are Memory Clock, Super Pi 32m and XTU using Haswell and Kingston RAM win a full system bundle. This bundle comprises of M6E, Haswell, Kingston RAM and Coolermaster PSU.

At the end of Four weeks the top five overall across all three benchmarks goes to Vegas all expenses paid to compete for a $10,000 prize.

Sadly I could only win one bundle as I am top in two sections and leading the field by 21 points.

Full coverage of the scores can be seen here.

My score in the XTU bench is particularly satisfying. It is the best ever recorded using a retail Haswell CPU, Andre Yang who is top used an ES which can accept far more volts safely.

I benched XTU at over 6,125mhz with C6 RAM at 2500+. XTU is a very tough bench to pass. The toughest of them all infact, with only two scores ever seen over 6ghz on Haswell. XTU is based on Prime95 so Prime stable 6,125ghz Haswell anyone!!!

This score can be found here:

I actually have afew better scores with even higher clocks too but will see if the rest can catch up before I unleash the pain!!!! :) and hopefully book my plane ticket to Vegas.

Isn't Prime stable a minimum 8hr run ;) that's a lot of topping up of LN2 :eek:
 
Keep the effort going, we'll be cheering you all the way to the end! :)

Are you doing this back at base?
 
At home man!!! I dont have LN2 at OCUK.

Prime stable is this bench!! Infact its the only reason to ever run anything to do with Prime as you get a score!!
 
2.3V?!!! How much extra flexibility does that give him compared to 1.8V? I know it's diminishing returns at the top end, so I have no idea how far you can get on volts alone.
 
Who'd have thought we'd see a 6ghtz+ Haswell prime stable :o ;)

Get an ES - moar points = moar prizes! ;)

Awesome results considering the competition!
 
Congrats 8pqck always good to see one of our doing well

Q though the chap with the ES does his score stand or is he discounted from the comp for it. Seems a bit unfair otherwise especially with the ES technically not belonging to him


Otherwise though that's ruddy impressive 6 ghz stable on haswell.
 
Congrats 8pack
Quick question:
What are you going to do with $10,000? are you going to spend on a 8 pack system to give away to your fans? your give away to me the money?
