With witchdoctor's added points and great activity all around, we are less than 15 pts out of 6th. We could get there by next update.

Great Job guys!!!

Witchy finally gave in and joined?!?!

Got some runs in with the Xeon E3-1231 V3 this morning. Nothing huge, but everything helps.

We just took sixth place. (though the rankings at HWBOT haven't updated yet to reflect this)

We're four points ahead of Klan-OC at the moment.

My last 2 HD4850 died during benching and before that were overclocking really bad anyway. I guess that old hardware is usually degraded nowadays or some components are weaker. I have a lot of problems with any older graphics cards lately. Most are overclocking really bad and some are not surviving benching after vmods.

yea pretty much the same here, the only recourse is to power through them with CPU power

No time for benchybenchy this week but have been reading up on haswell so should (hopefully) be able to get the g3258 over 6GHz for some 2D goodness then will run a bunch of vgas through (starting with the 780Ti followed by quad-7970's, quad-580's, dual-9800gx2's, dual-3870x2's, dual-295's, etc, etc). Figure/hoping I'll be able to squeeze at least a couple boints out for us.

Hoping to have the ss repaired soon for some ss-vga action.
