AMD Overclockers Club

can we use winrar as a realworld benchmark?

can we use winrar as a realworld benchmark?

only if you can validate 42 megabytings...lol

 

[Fox34]

anyone interested in joining PM me

 

[rick22]

i am interested in joining the club,but it does seem like there is sorta a mess here...is there still a club?

not sure...seems to be a lot of people joining.....

 

[Fox34]

read my post homies

 

[Steevo]

I need to upgrade to 1.4 on CPUz, but I still got validated.

 

[Wile E]

Don't like it. Have fun with that crap guys. And again, at very least, the Everest stuff is pointless.

 

[sneekypeet]

tha wouldnt be so tough i guess...but scores will vary depending on what test is run first correct?

 

[Steevo]

Everest isn't pointless. I can run stable at that speed, with that voltage, at that temperature.




I have noticed no difference in scores beyond what is normal. No matter what test is run first. Perhaps if a user only had 256Mb of RAM it might hurt their score.

 

[Fox34]

see ya later wile e, were not going to change everything here just for you dude


everest is great, and isnt like a benchmark why are people bitching about it? its a system info tool, just cause it crashed on you wile e doesnt mean its pointless

 

[sneekypeet]

wow fox...this is an open discussion as far as I'm concerned....and it seems to be you and steev changing things, not him.....Also I am a huge fan of the suicide run which you guys seem to want to omit!

 

[Steevo]

Suggest another tool that shows the same info, temps, fan speeds, and voltage. It reads mine incorrect as the board allows voltage increase two ways and it reads the base voltage, not the % of increase.

 

[Wile E]

Everest is pointless, for those that can't run it. With the way things are headed now, I couldn't make a run for any top spots, even if I wanted to. It's a known bug with new Windsors. It also doesn't read Brisbane temps properly. In those instances, it serves no purpose. What exactly does running it prove?

 

[sneekypeet]

It shouldn't be concidered a validation to the score (everest) , but a bonus of info to those who may need it. For those who cant run it, it is just plain wrong to single them out and say so long.......just like it was wrong in CD's eyes for Athlon to ban 754's!!!!!!!!

 

[Fox34]

Im not trying to change anything man. But Wile E, what do you even mean by cant run it? Its like running notepad, it doesnt do anything its a system info tool, not a benchmark. Everyone except you can run it here

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

everest isnt very dependable it pus out random numbers based on where your at..it just throws data across the cpu bus,not really a standard benchamrk but if its what you want to use,have at it..ill start my own club

 

[Fox34]

ok you have 0's across the board....and everest is NOT a benchmark! Its a freaking info tool!

 

[pt]

/\ guess who this is

 

[Fox34]

/\ guess who this is

lol hmmm I wonder

 

[Urlyin]

Make another account to avoid the 7 day temp ban and you will be perma banned...

 

[Solaris17]

We just use CPUZ and your BIOS to monitor temps. But Wile E I dont see the point of getting rid of everest only if you cant use it, I def see your point but you should see my point to.

athlonx2 isnt perm banned 1 week vaca

 

[Fox34]

OK guys this is out of hand.



Heres how its gonna go.

1. The club is open to any member with an Overclocked CPU, we all know what an overclocked CPU is.
2. The only rules that will apply is when there is the records in place, the scores will be specific as in.....Fox34'2 superPI 1m 14 seconds 4.0 suicide run, or Fox34's SUperPI1m 30 seconds, everyday stable 3.0
3. There will be a list of members, no rules, just the members.
4. Have fun with it guys, help out the needed, Overclock, have fun!


For records and scores

(stable) means you use it everyday, there shouldn't be a definition to this, we know what stable is, come on now.

All sockets, hey you got an overclocked socket 3? Hell yea! Its overclocked Who cares?

and If you want to be on the records without being stable? sure. Just include that the high score was on a suicide run, so people know why its so good. As long as were all honest its all good. It'll be like Fox's stable score, Fox's SU score.
(this only applies untill Athlonx2 gets back, this is I think the best way to make everyone happy, once he returns this all gets thrown out the window and he takes full controll unless he states otherwise

 

[sneekypeet]

so now you get my point...valid scores or no?

 

[Fox34]

Nice score peet, and low temps too

and valid? you tell us, do you use this clock everyday or not? no ones fooling anyone, its all the honest system, you wanna be stupid and lie, go ahead.

Im not trying to change anything man. But Wile E, what do you even mean by cant run it? Its like running notepad, it doesnt do anything its a system info tool, not a benchmark. Everyone except you can run it here

No. I'm not the only one. Perhaps in this clubhouse, but not the only one, period. Look around on AMD's forums. Many people with the newest Windsor cores can't run Everest or Coretemp, or any program that reads the cpu's on die temp diode. They all cause the computer to randomly shut down. Like - no warnings, errors, BSODs, freezes, or lock-ups of any kind, just instantly off.

And I still fail to see how it validates anything. Sure, the system info it provides can be useful to others, but that has nothing to do with verifying an overclock.

EDIT: And those same programs misread the Brisbane cores.
