Why should I run benchmarks?
- Your contribution(s) earn points for the smallformfactor.net team.
- It starts some friendly competition with other members of the Small Form Factor community.
- Competition helps to optimize builds and eek out performance that would otherwise go unnoticed.
- Teammates help each other by finding ways to improve their scores.
- The more points our team earns, the higher we rank among other teams worldwide.

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.

What is HWBot?

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.

- HWBOT is the official website for benchmarking/ overclocking enthusiasts.
- It's been around since 2006 as the gold standard in benchmark result submissions.
- Every record that has even been, was submitted to HWBOT for accuracy and validation.

joined the team, added my TimeSpy, Firestrike, Unigine Heaven Basic and Extreme scores.

 

[IntoxicatedPuma]

Cuban_Legend 4 submissions worth 32.7 points
IntoxicatedPuma 16 submissions worth 4.2 points

apparently my systems are not contributing very well

Maybe it's time to upgrade my video cards!

 

[3lfk1ng]

Your contributions made a difference. Huge congrats everyone, keep up the good work!

By the records that you have submitted and the points that you have generated, we are now 8th in the rookie league for the month of March!

I'm joining for the fun..
I just need to know how to submit everything..

PS : ok gotcha how to make..I need to be on my cerberus-x..

 

[3lfk1ng]

We'll gladly welcome you with open arms

Simply select and download a benchmark of your choosing here (some are less time consuming): http://hwbot.org/benchmarks
Make all of your submissions here: http://hwbot.org/submit

To submit scores, you will need to have CPU-Z and GPU-Z installed.
The programs need to be opened and included in the screenshots that are submitted to HWBOT (example).
CPU-Z
GPU-Z

Once you enter your computer specs for your very first submission, your specs will be saved to make it easier to submit additional results.

May the addiction find you!

 

[MarcParis]

Thanks!

Good point is that I've just ordered Noctua C14S to maximize my cooling capacity.. I'll definitely try R7 1700X 4Ghz+ram @3467Mhz...

 

[3lfk1ng]

Nice, yea, that should help the team quite a bit.

 

[jØrd]

1st out of one
trying to bench a mips device right now. NFI if they will take the results though

 

[MarcParis]

Yes I've scored my first points with my cinebench R15 score..

I've tried to submit my RAM speed (3520Mhz on Ryzen is clearly a cool achievement)...but I was blocked as picture should be hosted on canardpc...
Do you have any clue how to submit scores on that?

 

[3lfk1ng]

Do you have any clue how to submit scores on that?
I believe that you need to validate your CPUZ as the pictures are stored on CanardPC.

 

[MarcParis]

Thanks i'll try that by tomorrow..

 

[Kwirek]

Added a few entries, although I gave up at Unigine Heaven - the HWbot implementation unfortunately seem to be lacking...

 

[3lfk1ng]

Thanks Kwirek, those are some excellent submissions. You provided the team with a considerable bump in performance.

 

[MarcParis]

Well I was able to spend more time on HWbot...it's a funny game...
I'm doing my first competition also.. I'm currently 3rd..

[Kwirek]

After quite a bit of headbutting it turns out that the files hardware-bots own tests produce can be too large for their homepage to receive if your monitor size is large (I even had an error with 1440p). That is because they contain a screenshot with apparently very lousy compression.
So if you get an upload error due to size but really like your results, try lowering your current resolution and save the validation file once more. Below 5 megabytes seems "safe" but some say 2.

It also turns out that if you use the wrong windows locale on these same tests they wont work. After I changed to UK it worked with the heaven benchmarks.

 

[MarcParis]

Thanks for tip

I have always wanted to try this so I'm on the team. Ryzen 1700 stock CB run to see if I was doing the submission right. I finally have 3200mhz on the ram with the lates bios for my mobo. SO, now to squeeze the cpu some. I had 3.8 stable on the last bios with no issues before the ram increase so I will start there.

Working with a B350 board and OK air cooling so may not get too crazy pushing it but will see what my budget R7 setup can do for the team.

 

[TheHig]

So my cake and eat it too scenario isnt working out too well. I can get the 3200mhz ram OR the 3.8 OC on my CPU. Also, with this bios version I can only hit the cpu OC with Ryzen Master and not with the same settings in bios directly..go figure.

was hitting 1623 CB with 3.8 in bios under older version.. now 3.8 on CPU with Ryzen Master and only scoring 1563. boooo.

@MarcParis what settings are you using in bios for 3.8-3.9 on your 1700x?
