OFFICIAL OcUK HWBOT OVERCLOCKING TEAM

rjk · 9 Jun 2009 at 19:38

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

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

Its gona be intresting. We can really find out more than scores. For people like me who only spend every other year, we can see which hardware combos are really worth it

thats the general intention
hopefully it will generate a good community

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

Tried signing up but it says, sorry this team currently does not accept new members. Please try another team.

not original - but stops randomers messing stats up

Registered.... Many thanks. Let the Benchmarking begin.

GO FOR IT!!!!

remember to keep your screenshots valid guys

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

Greebo · 9 Jun 2009 at 21:31

If you improve your results can you submit the same benchmark again?

rjk · 9 Jun 2009 at 21:35

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 · 9 Jun 2009 at 21:39

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

Greebo · 9 Jun 2009 at 21:39

dAM JUST ABOUT FINISHED ADDING MY FIRST RESULT AND DISCOVERED YOU NEED A SCREENSHOT AS WELL AS A COMPARE URL

I'LL HAVE TO RUN THE BENCHMARK AGAIN

setter · 9 Jun 2009 at 21:45

Same mistake here, wanted to submit my best ever 3dmark06 result (19494) when i had my q6600 @3.8ghz, just realised i never took a screeny of it,

Aw well more of an incentive to whack this q9550 up a bit.

rjk · 9 Jun 2009 at 21:47

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

Ducky Spud · 9 Jun 2009 at 22:15

Im submitting a few but to be honest, dont seem to be getting any points haha. Will have go with 3DMark06 later, see how I do with that

rjk · 9 Jun 2009 at 22:18

you get points after validation
takes a few hours

Ducky Spud · 9 Jun 2009 at 22:24

Just downloaded wPrime as well, and it just wont run

Tried both v1.55 and v2.00 and both just say "Unexpected Error; quitting" when I try and run it. Thought it might just be because Im using windows 7, but ran in compatability mode and same happened

any ideas?

rjk · 9 Jun 2009 at 22:54

not tried it in win7
works fine on my vista64

Just realised as well (and others have done the same I think) that my team was "OcUK", not "Overclockers UK (OcUK)"

Just so others know!
