D'oh! And all this time I've been running Super_Pi just as I downloaded it! You're right though, and I don't foresee any windoze users going to the trouble...I just ran Super Pi mod 1.5 in Wine and it added a healthy 5 seconds to my 1M time, and THAT ain't no fun... :Tumbleweed: which kind of emphasizes Bruce's point: Are we testing just the CPU or the system as a whole? I mean I know that Pi is supposed to be strictly for CPU but a CPU by itself isn't going to do much...

But it shouldn't necessarily lock anyone out of a competition (of any sort). IIRC that's the original idea behind OCing in the first place: To show up trust-fund babies with know-how. It could be argued that it also resulted in Linux appearing on home desktops... Not true; telemetry mods in pro racing are strictly regulated, and even if you discount that, the hardware is strictly regulated (i.e. NASCAR's 358 cubic-inch boat-anchor mandate for all competitors despite the fact that none of them have ever or will ever make one that size for any other purpose). Actually, that doesn't sound lik

Old hot-rodding rule..."Speed costs; how fast do you want to go?" :overclocking: Seriously though, among all the other car-racing/PC modding analogies, one thing stays the same, and that's cash. Hot Rod and Car Craft each try every few years to come up with a "real street" competition (Hot Rod's is called the Pump-Gas Drags...unless they got rid of it already) and every time they do it ends up being a money-contest, no matter how many rules they come up with to make the cars qualify as street-legal. It's all in how you play the game, I guess...

As far as why you "couldn't do this", it really depends on the forum; some just want to keep the playing field as level as possible, others just have a chip on their shoulder about Linux' perceived "unfair advantage". I've seen some people get downright childish about it, and in those cases I just let the kids have the sandbox to themselves. There's another hwbot forum I subscribe to where I was told I could post the score but it wouldn't be entered in their top 10 list because of something having to do with hwbot not accepting non-Windows software or something (my score would've been right

Um, well...that's some loud MHz you have there...you have a 1.3 sec lead on me and needed 1.3 GHz to do it... Yeah, I'm cool with a solid Top 5 spot til I get my Yorkie (after the price drop next year!!! )...I just got this Q a few weeks ago. I hear Gigabyte's G33M DS2R's are evil clockers but I won't have that for another month so yeah...

Well, as of earlier today, I guess this is officially the only board that will allow a Linux score post; got an honorable mention (of sorts) at another one only to get denied by the mod. Oh well, at least I know I trumped the next highest score there by 2 seconds and they were running an E6850 jacked to 4.2 GHz, and needed 1.77 volts to do it. Thanks for not being Nazi about my OS, guys. Next up: Gigabyte DS2R and 2x2GB in a Microfly case, on water...

Yep. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about 3.6 with this setup. If I got greedy I could pull 2 GB out and get what, maybe another 200 MHz? Nah...this is an every-day machine, I'm good with it-

I looked at the beginning of the thread, was there an older version I should have been using? Don't want to tee anyone off with only my 3rd post here Honestly, I was just happy to find more than one bench tool that ran on both Windoze and *Nix...Few forums let Linux boxes play (something about an "unfair advantage") and I can see if you don't run an X server and shut down anything that isn't being used you could seriously artificially lower your score but in the interest of fairness I run all my benches just as I would use my machine on a daily basis: Full GUI w/ Compiz (yes, the cube is coo

Never mind that, how did you get 4.2 on your Q? My homebrew watercooling keeps a pretty good lid on temps (22C idle/36C load, with the hottest core hitting the mid-60s) but I gotta push almost the same volts I needed to keep my E6300 stable at 423x7. This thing's recently deveoped a case of vdroop-itis; ~1.45v in BIOS/1.46 indicated, and it goes down to 1.39 if I load more than 2 cores...4.2 GHz...man, I could drop into the 7's with that, easy... and this is with 4 GB RAM and an OEM chip!

10.744 seconds...don't know if Linux boxes can play in this forum (we have something called HardInfo that does the same thing as CPU-Z) but if it makes anyone feel any better I had a full desktop going complete with Compiz-Fusion and was web-browsing on my other monitor which I cropped out of the pic to save bandwidth. The other terminal window is my POV-ray score, the window in the background is HardInfo, and the bar on the far left is GKrellm (system monitor, like a cross between Speedfan and CPU-Z); like I said it's not technically CPU-Z (apologies to the mods) but if it wasn't legit I wou
