***OFFICIAL OcUK HWBOT OVERCLOCKING TEAM***

[rjk]

Hi Folks

over the past few months the OcUK tech team has been benchmarking hardware and adding our scores to www.hwbot.org

we are currently in the top few UK teams with only a few submissions

there is another "OcUK" team - this is not the one we are using, please make sure you sign up to "Overclockers UK (OcUK)"


i thought it would be great if our forum members could join in on the action and add their scores as part of team OcUK

this way, everyone can compare scores, chat about overclocking and get a worldwide rank for their hardware

HWBOT works in a way that every system is treated individually
this means that even if your rig is really low end or if you have some obscure hardware, you can theoretically beat the guys with quad SLI i7 rigs

the benchmarks at the moment include

• 3Dmark 2001
• 3Dmark 2003
• 3Dmark 2005
• 3Dmark 2006
• 3DMark Vantage - Performance
• Aquamark
• CPU-Z
• PiFast
• SuperPi
• SuperPi 32m
• wPrime 1024m
• wPrime 32m

most of the benchmarks are available for free

all you need to do is benchmark according to the HWBOT rules

I updated the team so you need to join using a password

the password is :OCUK

any member breaking the rules or cheating gets the team banned
which will ruin everybodies hard work

we can use this thread to discuss related issues

so sign up, join the OcUK Team and get benching!
TEAM OCUK

thats the general intention
hopefully it will generate a good community

even if everyone gets one point - it will still be worth it!

not original - but stops randomers messing stats up

GO FOR IT!!!!

remember to keep your screenshots valid guys

there is a useful example on all submission forms so you get it right

 

[rjk]

you can indeed
thats how my 920 was 24th worldwide at one point [cpuz benchmark]

i have had it higher since - and will be running the cpuz and super PI benchmarks at 4.8GHz

its 56th now as new results have been added

 

[rjk]

on a sidenote - 3dmark06 seems to give me LOTS of points every time i submit

i did one with a C0 920 @ 4.2GHz and 2 overclocked 4870X2's and got a load of points

but didnt get much in vantage with quad sli 295s

oh - remember to TURN OFF PHYSX in vantage or your submission gets cancelled

 

[rjk]

yeah its a bit tricky at first

my first 4 benchmark submissions were rejected
including a tasty 965 result from work with crossfire 4890 cards

 

[rjk]

you get points after validation
takes a few hours

not tried it in win7
works fine on my vista64

looks like we are up to third place guys!!!

keep up the good work!

 

[rjk]

good set of results Marine Iguana!!!

Nice to see you in first place mate.

Good work!!!

Well hopefully after a bit of tinkering in the BIOS, with the help of rjkoneill, i might be in a position to try again for a better score.

no problem - i have a few bios settings for you tomorrow morning!

I signed up also but i dont know if i can add anything to the team as i only have a 8800gt 512 gfx
I do have my Co 920 @ 3.9ghz and my 1333mhz ram running at 1487mhz though if thats any use.
So what are the best benches for me to try?

you can add to the team! thats the beauty of it

yes, the global rank will mean you dont have a fantastic score as you would be up against the i7/qualdsli rigs

but your hardware rank might mean your 8800gt compares brilliantly to the others!

the trick to HWBOT is finding hardware that nobody else uses

im planning on getting some benchmarking time with the i7 Xeon dual cores that we have samples of

Nice to see links for the benchmark programmes there on the first page now.

im getting there
when i have time i will get them all there and perhaps do a little more on how to get points easily - glad to see this is taking off

Vantage shows my CPU as a 975 when it runs above 4.2ghz

Of is generally more accurate when you get the latest versions (links on the op)

That 1st place post does look a little odd
Perhaps we should make an effort to compare results we enter to those close to us. Just to make sure we don't get bans etc

 

[rjk]

looks like we are up to 2nd place in the uk now

now lets beat benchtec

 

[rjk]

I'm not going to make a big song and dance about this whole issue, and I do think it is quite funny.
Like I said in the op, please don't exploit bugs if you can help it.
I'm supposed to moderate what we submit and would rather not have to make the call on stuff like this

I think we could do with spreading the word a bit and recruiting new team members

 

[rjk]

it did this to me a few times

reinstalled it and downloaded the latest openAL.dll file and it worked

 

[rjk]

Yes I guess now that we know that 03 seems to be dodgy on Win7 we should steer clear to avoid any further blocked scores.

Tis unfortunate though as I'm now using Win7 on most of my home computers, only got 1 rig running Vista left now, apart from my server that is - gonna have to do more on those instead!

i would bench my other rig - but a q6600 and 8800gt arent the most rare types of hardware about

just looked through your opteron scores Faceplantsi

great work!

 

[rjk]

i am seriosly considering going to the the computer graveyard [my shed] and pulling out my old rigs

i wonder if vantage will run on a Voodoo 1

 

[rjk]

just got an email from HWBOT about the disputed score

we are on our first warning apparantly

i cannot stress enough - please check your scores for consistancy before uploading
