4. If you are new to Overclockers.com you will need to obtain 50 quality posts within the forums, in order to be eligible for the Benching Team.
5. Once you complete your 10 benches (one of each bench, total 10) AND you have reached, or exceeded, the 20 point count, send a private message (PM) to Janus67, Johan45, and Woomack (Benching Team Leaders, yes PM all of us) requesting to join the team and provide a link to your HWBot profile so they can review your submissions. If accepted, you'll get under your username, gain access to the private team area for secrets and tips, and get to hang out with a great bunch of guys ready and willing to help you get the most from your hardware (or kill it trying).
