View Full Version : Batch/stepping and stuff ...

Hey guys,

Working on figuring out a good system to get batch/stepping in the database. At first, I figured we'd just add a description field where could add a line ~ 3005F803, but there's some other information on the CPU as well that could be interesting.

Also, there's info on the VGA (core/mem), chipset, different memory chips ... etc.

So, the question: what's important to you and what can you do without?

Good idea, it would help take a lot of guesswork out of looking for decent [potentially] batches, saving time and money.

I'm also thinking of extending the submission form with basic temperature information

- ambient/idle/load
- coldbug/coldboot

Will be especially interesting for the watercooling guys, I think.

CPU:
Batch and Stepping is the most important imo

GPU:
Information about RAM would be nice! (e.g. "SAMSUNG 752" on my 8800GT which is clocking great)

IC type is also needed SAMSUNG 752 is cool, but what REALLY matters is the speed bin - which would be BJ1A or something in your case:D

Would also be cool to figure out a way to have a ramlist list this (http://ramlist.i4memory.com/), but linked to brand/memory and grab oc charts from it

cold boot/ bug info would be very helpful too for ppl looking for expensive or even non expensive cpus, I like it.

Is the current score format annoying or overcrowded already?

True and BJ1A is also correct :D

Atm it looks good but it could be overcrowded with all of these information.

An additional field with these information would be nice. Maybe a button with "Show additional Information" so you can switch them on/off?

And maybe some explanation of how to get all those informations

PJ, all this stuff can be moved to the "More" tab. As for the current result info - it's not overloaded but is badly formatted.
In most screen resolution you can't see the screenshot preview link without scrolling. It maked looking a category through much slower.
It would be better to reconsider the screenshot placement. And I don't think we really need two rank strings. Maybe it would be nice to make it more compact - for example make the result + category + date font a bit smaller and place the x out of xx under it. And the gold cup and points nearby. The screenshot can be placed right under the CPU group. And the MoBo group can be shifted to the right from the CPU, it's spare at the moment.

This will fit main info in one page on opening the result without any scrolling. It does save time and lowers mistakes when you open 10-15 results simultaneously ;)

The main idea is to reconsider. I just gave an example how, it's not the exact way I want it to do - this could (should) be discussed if you accept changing it.

My main concern is not really the output part, but rather the input.

The submission page is already quite crowded, so need to find a solution for that :).

Should we add fields for things like cooling device, HDD, PSU etc?

We've got a sweet idea for getting batch integrated on HWBOT. I'm genuinly excited to see how RB will implent this one ... :D

woooo im in for this....

there should be an option in the pull down..like ...."help - what is batch"

lol

its a set of alphanumeric stuff....

new submissions should require this :D.....

i think this is a good idea....

go go power rangers
