As a lot of our builds share similar hardware inside various SFF chassis, this helps to ensure that our hardware is running at its best.

It's a website were you can browse processor and videocard specifications, and compare your performance based on thousands of submitted results. It's also an overclocking competition site. If you like tweaking your computer, you can send in your results and be handed out awards for best performing videocard / processor, etc.

lol, I got my 1st of one benching a beaglebone black, for the most part anything that isnt x86 will get you a 1st place cup, no one is benching outside of that , prolly because your not supposed to collect points on benches not run against blessed versions of windows, forces a focus on x86. Be careful though, at least for hwbot prime if your benching hardware thats obscure enough to not be in their db of blessed CPU's they wont let you submit it even if its not for points

PC mark 10 has very challenging benchmarks (povray, video encoding)..:)

Currently I'm back using my ultra stable 3900 Mhz on R7 1700X core and 3467Mhz CAS 16 on RAM...and PC mark 10 lasted 22 min to complete...:D

Definitely pcmark 10 is pretty good to test oc stability.

I tried each test individually and my oc seems stable...but when i ran all tests in a row...when it crashed..:)

So currently only my r7 1700x oc 3.9ghz @1.40v and flare-x ram @3467mhz cas 16 seems fully stable.

Depending on load i can use oc 4025mhz on cpu core and 3600mhz on ram..:)

Heh, managed to squeeze in to the Rookie Rumble with 1 minute to spare. Since it was bugged for so long I almost forgot to enter.

Another blocked result from HWbot...based on last AMD Ryzen competition (#39), I guess we were almost all using "blck" motherboard and windows 10...and they dared to propose a competition based on a forbidden benchmark (geekbench 4 single core performance)...how STUPID hwbot is..:D

Their competition is completely biased and meaningless...I'm sure in 10 years they will support windows xp..:D

BAH! We placed 4th last month.
We were just 1 position shy of getting a mention. (source)


The good news is, that's the highest we have ever placed so keep those benchmark submissions coming!

We have a terrific team that appears to be punching well above our weight. We just need that extra push to take us to the top.
If you would like to benchmark your new pc to see where it stands, we could use your help this month!

As a friendly reminder, all submissions before July 28th will enter you for a chance to win a free copy of Superposition Benchmark (details here)
