I went into a deep thought... ddr2 or ddr3 AM2+/AM3 / 775 duals or quads only - Wprime and 7zip... ideas popping and bubbling. We haven't done 3D in a long time. "head scratch" - 3D as in limited to 775 platform? Because I absolutly hate what modern CPUs have done to retro 3D stuff. Its just become a simple CPU bench which favors the one who can spend the most money on recent CPUs, its no longer about the cards themself at all. Bench a GTX 280 stock with a 5950x and beat any scores that guys made before 2019, extreme or not. This has really stopped me from going for 3D benches in general. Its really depressing for me. Get a good score on a GPU, oh wait 6 months later new gen CPUs are out and its worthless again! Also voted no for the bot. I think it just adds extra steps and makes things more complicated than they have to be.

Get some awesome input from you guys and make some decisions based off that.

Thanks Scotty Yep its been great too the X58 comp then I ran a couple of runs with 775 and now Cheap as chips I have been having fun. These little cards are a bastard though this Quadro FX380LP has 4 wide spaced holes for cooler mounting so I have had to make a 1/4" copper plate to go on it but my small pot will go on there as well as my small water block. Epower will be a bit of a challenge though but I will get that on the back of it after I do my first runs with it. Hopefully the memory goes faster than the GT405 I have been using.

From what I'm hearing, memory is a bastard on those. It doesn't scale at all. Concentrate on the core. Like the nylon hardware. Right out of my playbook.

I dont even know if I remember how to clock it. I have a DDR2 Rampage Formula, X3360, 4GB G.Skill PC8500. Also have my 580 Matrix Platinum.. I think I have an old 250GB WD spinner kicking around somewhere.. Just gotta grab a copy of XP..
Edit:
Just kidding, I remember.. some of my PL settings have faded to black, all of them lol..

Don't mind the little camera in the vent. lol XD. Sounds like 775 is the go to platform for the next competition. ____ I'm happy to receive benchmark requests then for 775.

Any reason we don't do a Ryzen comp? Everybody pretty much has that platform also.

What vent. No vents in our place, so you must have paid off the birds that live under the upstairs idiot's porch Them and the spiders... I'll second the mention for newer stuff as well, I've got a 10500K that hasn't been benched. It probably wouldn't actually get pushed, but hey, I'll playfully comment it needs a reason to be at least tested somewhat. My 4770K is free to be pushed once again too....

House comps postponed till after Challenger comp at HWB. Nobody will play with a bunch of other comps running at the same time.

I don't know how it is with the newer chips but at least with my 1700 it's simply not enjoyable to OC, I don't know why either, Zen just never clicked with me. Ran it chilled once for R15 and never bothered again. And I for one am totally burnt out on 1151 to the point where I've delegated my 8700K + MOCF to stock daily pc duty. Well I guess I'm more burnt out with benching in general now, didn't even participate much in the X58 one, had it setup on the bench still and everything but never got back around to running it.

All my Ryzen stuff sits in a box in the closet. I found it lack luster also.

Not so sure if there woudn't be time for a comp, according to the schedule it's running through May 30th and you know there will be a lull in the action, only picking up towards the end. April in this case woudn't be a bad thing if 775 was done - But that's just my thoughts about it and I must say it's not like I'd be in it anyway.

Only platform I can bring to the table beyond X58 would be X299. I had and tried a bunch of Ryzen OC from the 1800x, to the TR 1950x. It got boring real fast, especially with the ram limitations. Just recently build a PC for my brother with a 5900X but beyond the initial setup, which takes 10 minutes tops and you found the wall, I don't enjoy playing with them. Because there is no play. You have a single voltage to play with for frequency and a single voltage to play with for RAM. Set both to max, set your clock. Thats it. Boring.

I'm game for all but Coffee Lake, (sorry George but no hardware here in my closet and the Xeons still pricey).
3D might be fun?

BTW folks, back to school.
The most complicated platform I have come across in 25 years. Scratching the surface for now but if you want the juice you must dig deep and read a lot.
I will certainly put these under cold, but not before I am certain what I am doing.
The bios of Hero z690 is 256mb. I have never ever seen so many menus and submenus and settings.
Wow, still learning till we pass. Intetesting days, weeks months ahead.

I3 12100 did on water 1600 cbr15 at 5.2ghz. 4 cores 8 threads. I7-7740x did at 6ghz on Apex vi 1457.

SuperPosition 1080P Extreme AND 8K optimization - Any Cpu/MB hardware would be a fun proposal I think. Open comp, few restrictions as possible. Cooling open, no restrictions. I still have cash towards winners as well. Just need to know when.

TBF HWbot is one of the two main reasons why I stopped benching, not only is the site god awful an buggy as hell and most of its users there are well jerks or paid by big companies.
Hmm 3D something like Cheap as Chips? A eally cheap graphics card series so it costs virtually nothing to compete. I am competing in Cheap as Chips now. I love me some low end crap benching. How about s3 virge and 3d mark 99 lol?
