They simply don't want you to go to the battlefield with previous knowledge of your opponents

I wasn't looking for the scores, was only testing the CPU's capabilities ( so the next day I could buy lots of LN2 and cool both the CPU & GPU/s with LN2 for real benching ).

Efficiency no good. Try moar

Binning 500 2600K's probably

Put dry ice or ice cubes instead of fans on the Ultra's and then you might get closer to Christian Ney

dip the board in a box full of ice-cubes you lunatic

Epic

Ok, I'll give you my Dinos prize permission, but in return you ought to find me a 5.9G 2600K

I'm giving you the permission to compete for the prizes for me

Careful with the Commando, it was very memory-dependent and disliking. Especially with the Corsair D9GMH kits

Man you're a criminal, this score is a crime for the clocks

Push it, push it Splave

Don't be a knucklehead. That score is the result of a bug, a glitch. Be it software, be it hardware ( edge of stability clocks, dying card/cpu/ram, etc ). Do you need to get a FutureMark ( yes, the developers of 3D Mark ) employee here to tell you that it is a bugged score to realize that all these people here were right ? jeez

Nah, I'd wish. That was 980X #6 or 7... all but one ( 3005F, died after the 1st session ) were crappy.

Thanks man, boy that CPU was great Only made it through the pre-testing bench session ( 12lt LN2 ) though

I think the WR page gets updated once or twice per day.

The card's underperforming, mine does 200k

Wishful thinking. 360$-400$ AUS I'd say

What's worse... "the leading company" or "the GeForce 8200SE 1GB fantastic graphics card for hardcore gamers?" designed by gamers for gamers, and.... ho ho ho... approved by Fatal1ty ?

asux p5b deluxe ?

ROFL, I knew it! Expecting S.Phoenix's backup before you show the 136k Vince ?

That's why a robot must take care of that task ( look at me )

Biased ? Towards what ? Nah, never. I have no problem admitting that I dislike the MSI X58s with passion, but also have no problem to tell the truth if ( God forbid ) the MSI board ( or any other board that I may dislike for reasonable or unreasonable reasons ) in testing excels the competitors that it's better.

No no no! This is a terrible idea Marc. Let me put some common sense, logic and proper methodology in your head: First of all, find a very very good 980X/990X ES ( like Hicookie's ). Done ? Next step: Go to a retailer and buy the following: Asus Rampage III Extreme Asus Rampage III Extreme Black Edition eVGA X58 Classified ( E760 ) eVGA X58 Classified 3 ( E770 ) Gigabyte GA-X58A-OC MSI Big Bang Xpower X58 Step 3: Send all the above hardware to me. Give me 3 weeks and I'll come back with the results in all areas and every benchmark from every mobo. Then you can make a conclusion
