MY point was, he is getting both HW and Global points because he has the best stuff now. I am not hating on him. I am saying that the person the kid swith nothing willing to put what he has on the line, deserves more than 2 points.

And I thought you OCed your laptop, missed tha part about you running it stock LOL

Actually, that is not so wrong... If you at least tweaked your OS to score better than other "stock submissions"

I have no clue how it should be run. I get a little disappointed because I bust my ass for hours and days and get 1 global point that will be gone in 15 minutes... HW points are a little more long lasting, at least till someone drops some cold on the same gear you have. (not always then either I nudged out a not so extreme phase guy for a gold cup in superpi. Should not have sold that setup *ugh.

Meh, I will grab a 555 C3 Sometime after the holidays when the temps start dipping into the 20s or even lower!


*Crawling my way up the bot 2 points at a time

This is why if there was a baseline and boints awarded for anything upwards of it, you'd get boints for even a mediocre oc and thereby hooking you're ego into an ever increasing drive to get more boints.

As of now, the competition with the latest mainstream hardware is so stiff, you really gotta have cold and skill to get boints. Else, you need to search our the obscure shit and get 2 pointers.
