Runs like that I save the validation file to the hdd as it's faster. Then upload it the web page later on.

 

[marsey99]

thats what i did, the file was corrupt the 1st 2 times when i tried to upload it as it bsod'd saving the file xD

 

[marsey99]

so after spending the week trying to fold, 1104 ppd in 1 day @4.2ghz on 1.45v i came back to finish some other tests off today as its been a cooler day.

erm, overclock+f@h+35c air=unhappy hardware

its running warmer at stock and wont stay stable over 4ghz, im going to strip it down and see whats what once i have eaten.

Breathing down your neck on the CPU score, but just could not get it that little bit further. I now have no Internet and am posting this from my phone.

[marsey99]

no lol should of done really.

was 42c in bios but now its 35c in the same ish ambients.

idk why but its bsod as im trying to install a clean os to do these last few tests :/

no code just the generic change of hardware one, wtf has changed windows you just installed to it then restarted yourself ffs.

 

[marsey99]

I have tried everything I can find to get 04 to run and it just keeps failing the grammar test

well i wasnt playing on posting anything so soon as i wasnt sure i would have chance (and i only have my phone atm...)but whilst seeing what was new on redtube i thought this was a better use of my time.

LOL.

See I had that problem, but for some reason now, every time I run the benchmark it works now...

Have you tried running it as an admin with that media encoder thing installed?

 

[marsey99]

on xp as it runs better on it for me, well it runs all the time lol when 7 was hit and miss.

it runs fine and im getting great scores in the other tests but no matter what i do it fails the grammar test

cores, speeds, affinity, priority, services, reg tweaks, nothing i have read that fixed it for others has worked for me.

 

[chudley]

Marsey, Where in the UK are you? anywhere near Norwich or Bournemouth?

 

[marsey99]

Nah man, I'm up north near Liverpool.

again my phone is being a bitch and wont let me take the pics off it but once its sorted i will put them up. as you can see i can get 04 to run now on any os but no matter what i have tried it still fails the grammar test
