I'd actually like these things if it was respective of anything other than how much money you can put into your computer... :p

What is the deadline?

Also CPUmark99 should be in there as well :p

Good idea. My single thread performance can make up for my lack of GPU power :)

I'm not much of a fan of Super PI to begin with.

I know what you mean. But it does somewhat serve a purpose to the overclocking world :)

wow, that's an incredibly self defeating attitude. :confused:

Never say never!

Fastest 2550k on earth so far! Just gotta submit it to HWBot. No anandtech team over there I guess....At least I couldn't find one



Backs down to 24/7 overclock at 4.8ghz :(

Overclocked the 680 a wee bit.

My CPU might go higher but I don't know what to fiddle with in the BIOS to fine tune it. Just changing the multi and throwing voltage at it doesn't seem to get me anywhere. Plus no point as it'll get stomped by another rig. ;)

OK, sorry for the seperate photos, but im not used to posting pics like this. I could have very easily OCed the CPU to 4.8 or more for the benchmarks, but I wanted the scores to reflect what my rig actually runs at all the time. Exact rig specs and clocks are in my sig.

Here they are. So, are these good?

AHHHhh, SLI 670s. From the heaven bench I thought there was just one and was all butthurt my 680 got shat on. ;)

Yeah, and I got smoked by the guy with 3 7970's. This isn't so much a benchmarking competition as it is a "who's got the most money" competition.

Honestly, I think the who's got the most money competition is more highly recognized and worthy of pursuit, don't you? :whiste:

Pics of all these wünder-rigs? Mine isn't very colour coordinated but as there's no case window I don't see the point.

So, who's winning in this competition? To make it easy, you can just PayPal me the $20. I don't really want a gift certificate. :)

I didn't know I was well known for anything. You would be extremely disappointed if you really knew me.

this kid got the most money

So, with the $20 prize, the rich get richer lol. To win the contest, do you have to be fastest at everything? I got him beat at cinebench and superpi CPU tests. Thats half the contest right there :biggrin: Actually, the only thing I have a shot at being the king of the hill at is cinebench CPU test and that depends on how psycho I am willing to get with the big dog 3930K OC o_O

I may have Cinebench so far in this thread but lose at everything else, so I won't bother with Heaven or SuperPi. :cool:

Well thats all I needed to see. I won't push my chip that far. If I break it I will cry like an orphan on christmas morning.

Actually, screw you guys. I think i'll grab a couple 690's, an EVGA classified mobo and two zeons with uber water cooling. We'll see whos the king then!
