I think its more that the benchmarks on HWBot are betas, not the benchmark programs themselves.

Oh 100%, I agree there is user negligence here on the part of the seller. At the very least, I put my blocks in a plastic ziplock if I have no stop fittings. But usually can get some cheaper stop fittings out there for just this sort of use. I'm going to see if I still have my 980 Strix block around and see what it looks like on the inside.

EK block. I just had a feeling...

Some Google searches seem to indicate no, but not seeing a spec for that on an actual Intel site.

Welcome to EHW! I don't have any retro stuff myself, but like Pio says, there's a bit of everything around here!

MMM got Mayhems Inhibitor+ back in stock and was on sale for a couple bucks off. Needed some Aquacomputer adapters anyway for my flow meter to connect to the Octo, so put in an order for both of those.

No, you're thinking of the 7990. 7970 was just the original Tahiti card that got rebranded into the 7970 GHz edition, R9 280X, etc. It's a little confusing as the 5970 was a dual GPU card and then they shifted the naming where the 6970 was the replacement for the 5870, and the dual card 5970 was replaced by the 6990. And they kept that naming scheme for the 7000-series cards.

Aside from getting a cheap b-die DDR4 kit, I decided I was cleaning out my parts closet for a reason. Only going to work on what I have stuff for.

We've known that for a long time, but never seen it like this before. Wow.

What size Tygon you getting? Get a thicker walled one if you plan to have some tighter runs. @Avacado can attest to that.

Nice! I'm not necessarily a car enthusiast, but I do like my Mazdas. Would love to have a Miata someday as well. I miss having a manual transmission car I could throw around the corners.

Ordered this to use as a benchmarking kit. Appears to be a b-die kit for pretty cheap ($89+tax). Hoping can help me with SuperPI 32M as my G.Skill Hynix kit just couldn't be tuned much.

For some reason my best submission, so far, for SuperPI 32M DDR4 AMD comp doesn't actually show up in rankings. Says I disabled them, but I assure you I've checked and have not. On another note, I have a 16GB DDR4-3600 14-14-14-34 kit on the way, should get here Thursday. Going to see if I can get us further on that one as this Hynix kit I have just isn't tuning much at 3733 16-19-19-39.

Can't say I have. Will try it.

Looks like an interesting game.

Been playing Dinkum with the wife. Been enjoying it for an easy-going casual game.

Hey @pioneerisloud, @UltraMega - Get your Zen 2/ Zen 3 stuff up on the AMD CPU DDR4 comp. Another team knocked us out of 1st since they have 2 submissions.

I resubmitted my 5900X score. Thought my PBO wasn't working right even though it was set correctly. I looked and somehow the stupid Extreme Tweaker tab ASUS puts on their boards was overwritting what I had in PBO in the normal Advanced -> AMD Overclocking tab. Sorted that, got a better score. May tweak it some more and see what happens. /img/logo.png SirBeregondEHW`s 3DMark CPU PROFILE MAX score: 11191 marks with a Ryzen 9 5900X HWBOT.ORG The Ryzen 9 5900X @ 5049MHzscores getScoreFormatted in the 3DMark CPU PROFILE MAX benchmark. SirBeregondEHWranks #20 worldwide and #17 in the hardware class. Find out more at HWBOT.

Yeah they wanted 1156 chips. I have one, an i5-650, but not the platform to run it on.

Ran my 5900X through the 3DMark CPU Profile Max bench. Got a crappy score (second to last), but was enough to get #1 for the competition . Will play with it some more and see if maybe an all core OC works better or not, or maybe PBO/CO needs some tweaking. https://hwbot.org/competition/TC2022AMD/stage/5502_3dmark_cpu_profile_max_-_ddr4

In to try the following. AMD CPU Competition: Stage 4: Ryzen 5900X Nvidia GPU Competition: Stage 4: GTX 980 Strix Stage 5: RTX 3080 Ti FE watercooled Nevermind, just saw this one is for PCIe 3.0 cards only.

Click on each bracket (Intel, AMD, Nvidia, etc.) and then there are stages under each category for different hardware reqs.

Looks like all I got that qualifies is my GTX 980, but @Avacado already secured #1. I also have my 5900X, so can see what we get with that. I do also have a GTX 570, but none of the other required hardware for that stage. And am not really in a position to be buying stuff for benchmarking at this time. I also have an LGA 1156 CPU (i5-650) that qualifies for the Intel DDR3 comp., but no motherboard/RAM/etc.

Zen 3 was also $50 more than Zen 2 at launch across the stack. Plus their lack of a 5700X made the eight core part (5800X) more like $100 more than an eight core Zen 2 part. It ain't just Nvidia, AMD knows when they can charge more too. Personally I am happy I upgraded now and didn't both waiting for this stuff. It's getting far too expensive.
