Sure, it's not yet the definitive one. (Gonna scale multithreaded lower, singlethreaded higher and floating higher. But not by much)

Thinking of possibly creating a "beta-testing thread" for Black Hole where people can download the latest betas/pre-releases and post their scores from beta versions in that thread to avoid confusion. Here we seem to have a mix of scores from the current release and some pre-releases. We can also get feedback from the testers in the beta thread and sort out any issues there.
What do you think?

Sorry, I didn't even realise, I don't think there is anyway to remove it either is there?

probably could beat that but id be cheating, taking a TL-60 and sticking it in power saving mode, 800 mhz dual core you think? Dont have access to that chip however so cant do that, its back in ohio.

can easilly lock 3 cores and stick this at 500mhz or 1ghz, or just throw together the old athlon xp 2400+ single sh1t

Athlon XP will not run it (assuming it is still 64 bit only).
And I rekon I could beat it if I locked it down to single core and then used the power limiter in Ubuntu (assuming 12 still has it) to lock it to 800MHz (lowest setting I think) and then ran it in a Vbox. But that is a lot more work than I want to do right now. Though it would be very possible to do it.

Yeah... it's an old machine I don't really use anymore, so it doesn't bother me. I'll find a way to make it run slower.
Cheers for the tip. I'll maybe have a go tonight. Not sure if the motherboard allows overclocking/underclocking or not - I've never looked to be honest.
Underclocking is not dangerous at all. The only way would be if you dropped your voltage to low and it locked up or blue screened and you ended up with file corruption. As far as hardware, none at all. You can leave your voltage at default and if you can get the processor running at 100mhz, no hardware problem at all what so ever.

underclocking is basically the premise of Cool and Quiet and Speedstep. Not dangerous at all. Setting my processor to 800 mhz is as simple as telling windows to run at its max efficiency setting. It just doesn't clock up to the maximum speed.

I am calling BS, because running my G530 @ 800MHz (for another project) at the stock 1.1V fried the processor.
If you notice and watch it in CPUz, cool n' quiet and speed step scale voltage with speed. They do not just drop speed. And on most systems, it is not worth the programming they put into it to get it to work. Like on my D630, the T7100 at idle clocks down to 1.2GHz and drops the voltage by .1. So power savings and heat do not drop much at all. But it is just fine at .500V at 800MHz dual core mode when using the power saver applet in ubuntu.
You can call BS all you want. Running a G530 with 1.1V at any mhz is not the reason your processor stopped working. (1.1V at 800mhz or at 5ghz. is 1.1V period). A G530 with 1.1V would run cooler at 800 mhz. then it would at 2.4ghz. If your processor stopped working it had nothing to do with the voltage being at 1.1V.
Show me anywhere on the internet that a stock voltage processor was as you call it, burned up running underclocked!
