Let's try again with the ranking after two weeks

Those r some really nice speeds.
Thanks for the constant update massman.
I have no luck getting a good cpu.
The 860s locally here now are pretty crappy.
I have tried quite a few pieces.
Early batches are no where to be found.

Too bad, Clon . Im afraid that since AndreYang joined, you will really need a super-chip to grab any of the money prizes.

There's always the last lucky draw, though :-D

4 more days to go:

Haha.. finally after my 6th chip...
These 1156 cpus are bad.
Terrible cold bug as well. :p

Nothing terrific but @ least the runs are decent for submission.

CPUz : 5244.83mhz
clon22's CPU-Z score - hwbot.org

Spi32m : 7m25s937ms (poor efficiency for 5G + bad IMC...)
Well, this is also my only stable 5G run.... sucks... haha..
clon22's SuperPi 32m score - hwbot.org

Wprime32m : 4s977ms
clon22's wPrime 32m score - hwbot.org


CPU cold bug @ -55 degrees.
Benchable only @ -42~45 only. Nothnig lower.
IMC cannot do 1100mhz+.... Good rams but lousy CPU,
My 6th CPU and 3rd Ln2 session.
What a waste of $$... haha...

ANyway, nice compy.
14hrs to go.
All the best guys!

Oh no....
I just read this...
"- The usage of a Big Bang Trinergy is also not allowed as it was not available when the competition started."
Arrggghhh....
I didn't realise that because this board is available in our retail stores locally already...
Too bad for me... ~~
