It's time for a little friendly competition!

HWBOT is a 100% FREE to use online benchmarking repository.
The rules are simple:
1. Create an account.
2. Join the team.
3. Run benchmarks.
4. Submit your results.

Link to the team: http://hwbot.org/team/smallformfactor.net/#Members

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.

no don't send any submissions before 28th July..let me win..

 

[3lfk1ng]

Only 3 entrees so far- 33.3% chance to win.
Only 5 days left on our giveaway.

 

[MarcParis]

damn I'm doomed..

 

[msystems]

Good idea on the banner, I just learned of this... signing up now

 

[Arboreal]

Just joined, but pretty clueless how to submit.
I have CPUz and GPUz loaded and bought 3DMark in the Steam sale recenty; I have an account there too

This is gonna be me when I get home. Hopefully I can do a bit of research and figure it out, I'd love to contribute to a smallformfactor.net team with what little hardware I have

Assuming I'd even contribute instead of bringing it down of course

 

[3lfk1ng]

Points never depreciate. Any and all submissions help the team!

After you have created your account, here are some easy steps to get started:

Find the benchmark(s) that you want to run for points and download the benchmark(s):
http://hwbot.org/benchmarks

Run them benchmark and open CPUz/GPU.

Take a screenshot. Save the screenshot.

Submit the result

Thx! Looking forward to seeing what I can do

 

[MarcParis]

Ahah welcome to new competitors..

 

[msystems]

Does the hwbot site load very slow for anyone else?

 

[royalba94]

Does the hwbot site load very slow for anyone else?

It was slow for me the first couple times I loaded it but it's fairly responsive now for whatever reason.

 

[3lfk1ng]

Yea, it's generally pretty sluggish.

If only HWBot might consider size of cases and undervolting

My poor 6700k can't even take default full stock voltage the way is rigged up right now in the FC5. It can't handle more than 85 watts or it burns up. So I was a little surprised it was able to get through Cinebench, 4.6GHZ @ 1.2v. while still being undervolted, with a negative voltage offset of -.07v. I can't go any higher at this point except for single thread tests.

 

[MarcParis]

Hwbot does not care of size of case or Cooling.
Best setup for them is open air bench table , nitrogen and of course , the best operating system called Windows 7....

4 more days remain on the Superposition giveaway!

Huge congrats to @confusis for snagging the World Record memory frequency for the Ryzen 5 1600x at an impressive 3724.7MHz on the Gigabyte GA-AB350N ITX motherboard (review pending)

For everyone else: Keep those submissions coming! Every bit helps the team.

 

[MarcParis]

Gg @confusis for ram speed.
You beat me. I was able to achieve 3680mhz...

 

[confusis]

Thankyou @MarcParis . I suppose I can poke my tongue out at the LFF overclockers and brag that the record for DDR4 frequency with a 1600X is held by a M-ITX motherboard!

 

[msystems]

Just for fun I went to see how much higher the 6700k I have can go... it boot to windows at 4.9 ghz but not stable yet. It seems to be needing a lot more VCC for this step. I think it only needed 1.3v for 4.8ghz. Maybe some other types of voltages need to go higher too?

 

[MarcParis]

Thankyou @MarcParis . I suppose I can poke my tongue out at the LFF overclockers and brag that the record for DDR4 frequency with a 1600X is held by a M-ITX motherboard!

Agesa 1.0.0.6 just transform my bclk modifier as an obsolete tool...
What ram kit did you use? On r7 1700, i saw some people on 3800mhz but using high speed run(3600 or like)

 

[msystems]

Oh dear.... I really thought I was done earlier, but the chip hit 5ghz at 1.35v. Still some room left, but I think the memory controller has "had it". So this weekend I'll finally get to what I was putting off... delid
