Discussion/Beta Testing thread - Black Hole

You're losing track of time. You PM'd me on 1/1 for version 4.1, and now 4.2 has been out for over a week now.

You've only been doing this benchmark for a little over 3 months on this forum and there's been 6+ revisions. Thats still an average of 2 weeks per release.

I don't really blame you, you have to keep changing it for the AMD whiners that think their CPU's are better than they are. I just don't feel like being a part of it anymore.

I agree the releases are coming too quickly. What we need is one stable benchmark which we can use for months and months at a time before releasing a new one.

We started this benchmark at the end of June/beginning of July. It's improved a lot since then.

Is there another thread? If so, it's working toward as many threads about this as releases.

Nope, we decided to stay 1 thread for official RB's and one for betas like the 4.2 beta now.
Every RB is launched about 2 months after the previous. But that will probably change to 3 and then to 4 months or longer...
Like I said, v1-v3 was very fast after eachother, because we needed to fix bugs, and bugs,... But now it's going alot slower since v4.

Originally it started at the end of June but it was called 'Smiles App'. The name was changed around August time.

So it has had as many threads as revisions. lol


Point is, no one in any benching community would put up with a bench changing every month and having to re-do it.

It doesn't seem like you'll EVER be done revising it so I'm out.
 
Dont have a problem with how fast new releases are coming out. The threads are getting alittle long and are getting confusing figuring out whats what.

Dont really know how to fix it now. Maybe to start with if one thread just had the benchmark results and the other thread was just for posting individual scores.

I'm trying to do my best, but there's no proper sollution for this... I think it's best to do 1 thread per version. But then I'll promise from next version that I'll min let 3 months between. (starting from 4.2 alpha)

I know, wasnt meaning to give you a hard time. Sorry if you took it that way.

Think when the post started jumping back and fourth between the two threads it just starting making it alittle confusing. If one thread just had the benchmark results with the revisions in order with it locked so no one could post in it. The other thread just had members posting their results it would have kept it more in order.

yeah.
 
What program are you running to read temps?

I don't think it would throttle until ~99c, could depend on bios settings though.

I use realtemp and coretemp, both had around 89-90°c max. But I saw with cpu-z that when it reached 90, it went from 5206 to 5202, but don't know if that's a real throttle.
Anyway, the test from 5.23ghz and 1.589v was probably hotter because I ran this one (5.206ghz) with only 1.572 vcore...
 
Yeah it probably was. I'm betting it throttled ever so slightly right at the very end of the test when it hit peak temps.
 
Hope this is the right thread. I tested out 4.2 beta.

I'm getting a bit confused with all these different threads and versions to try out though.

CPU-Z fail, yes, I know.
