The rules are simple:
1. Create an account.
2. Join the team.
3. Run benchmarks.
4. Submit your results.

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.

I just looked at your scores - don't you dare push me down in the lists. :-P

I don't think you need to be concerned too much, I'd probably only threaten you if I somehow got my CPU to 5ghz+ territory since it looks like the scores are based on per core performance. Therefore I'm way behind at 22nd place. :)

Ah that is correct, sorry to hear that.

Personally I'm slightly miffed about myself. If I had done my tests for the competitions one day earlier I'd been number one in the Rookie-league for the day. Totally unearned, but still. :cool:

Anyone else notice how tricky to keep a Nvidia GPU frequency perfectly stable on Boost 3.0 because of the automatic down-clocking from temperature. I try to keep temps within a small range, but then I still have to "pre-heat" the card up before setting the OC. Otherwise, it tries to boost too high when it cools down to 30C.

Well it's turbo boost 3.0...as long as you are under max temperature, it's similar across all cards with same gpu...meaning watercooling pascal board is pretty meaningless versus a good aircooling model..:)

Good thing I tried this on a free tier first. So much for smashing out a 64 core run on an EC2 instance, Intel XTU wouldnt install :(
Click for big


EDIT: Thwarted by HWbot again :\
