fortunately it was caught very early in the contest and the adjustment made without impacting any one bencher's overall standings.

in the scenario “a re-bench w/1.51cpu-z is implemented”, the only competitor that stands to lose is rickss69. Every other competitor has demonstrated an improved pi score after moving to cpu-z 1.51.

here are the current standings:
1- drnip 920 do 10m 49.453s
2- rickss69 950 do 10m56.500s
3- romdominance 920do 11m03.906s
4- splave 920 d0 11m10.925s
5- cecil 920 11m14.764s

so in essence, a re-bench would only affect rickss69. I do not feel that the burden of validity in this instance should be placed solely on rickss. The initial rules contained an unacceptable degree of imperfection and even with the new adjustment a certain degree of imperfection will remain. It is and always will be fallable.

so in balancing the likelihood of rickss being a dishonorable bencher and the impact on the standings, i find the actions taken to be both fair and indiscriminate.

this topic will be put even more to rest when rickss posts a yet improved pi time with the new cpu-z 1.51 requirement.

i’m all for fairness and if after this explanation of the current circumstances, any competitor that is currently ranked in the standings still feels my actions are “unfair”, please feel free to voice your protest. I will re-assess the situation based on how impactful it is to those benchers already ranked. Outside of those parameters, the issue is perceived as resolved. Cpu-z 1.51 is required for all benches.
supes- cool2

amen! :d

It’s not like you need a monster LN2 session to rerun the benchies. Just my 5c to the story. Sorry everybody for putting more confusion into this but I just don’t feel this is fair at this point.

cheats dont mess with kal-el to_keep_order

any help with getting cputweaker to show mhz?

[DrNip]

Might be a Windows 7 incompatibility thing.

I just got to ask as I can't get 1.52 version to glitch like this for me but are any of you running your rig with c1e, speedstep or anything like this enabled that might be causing it to do this?

[rickss69]

I never saw it either Nip. One and the same for me.

It worked fine for me and I've got all that stuff turned off.

[DrNip]

I have it all turned off too. I am just wondering if it is glitching on guys that might have any of these enabled.

[Splave]

nips you on xp? I cant get close to your score man rofl

W00t! Been waiting for this one guys cool2

Just got the MSI Eclipse Plus insulated. Hope kingston can get me my hypers back quick from RMA (will be seeing if they scale with LN2 muahaha)!!! Otherwise its time for high QPI + D9GTR's...

Good luck to everyone
