Submitting a benchmark guide

This is an initial post to get my wording right before shrinking the images using squish.

So guys, If you are like me and just joined the team today and downloaded all the benchmarks then you are more than likely pretty keen to get a test done and submit your first ever benchmark run.

The first thing you need to do is ensure you open CPUZ up and select the CPU tab, then with that one still running open another CPUZ up and select the memory tab, you should now have 2 CPUz running and a screen that displays something like this.



Sign in to HWbot and click on the submit score tab where you will be prompted to select a score.

I found the quickest and easiest initial test to run was the Super Pi:

Open Super Pi / mod1.5 XS up (ensure you have the XS bit as it is needed for HWbot) and click on the calculate button.



The tests what you can be scored on are 1m and 32m, as your first effort I would recommend the 1m as it is nice and quick.

After you click ok you will be prompted to run the test (ensure you have all other programs stopped less CPUZ)



After the test is complete take a screenshot of your results and save it in a relevant program and format (I have used paint to create all the jpegs for this - which is fine)

Now to fill in the important details on the HWbot page: each of the results entered should be as stated in Super Pi i.e. the output value and the checksum.







When you have filled in the data select the upload verification screenshot button and navigate to where you have saved your screenshot.

Make any comments about the bench you are running - clock changes etc or in my case demo screenshots or trial run.

Fill in any other information you want to about the CPU, memory and mainboard but remember DO NOT TICK where it says "Do not participate"

make sure you DO TICK the box to agree to the rules. Click submit and your calculations will be submitted for scoring results.

Please note this next screen shot is after no changes were made to a previous submitted test hence why it says what it does

Hope this helps all the new guys out there and if any of the old sweats want to offer advice and expert guidance feel free

I am sure it will be more than welcome.
 
Nice and easy guide,

However I'd stop every non-nessecary programs (this includes CPU-Z, as you will only need it for the screenshot).

Stopping as much as you can might get you that small edge on the competition (if they don't do the same that is

)
 
while the bench is running you want as little as pos running, this includes processes and services, so if you can disable it and the bench still runs do it
