Did not want to start a new thread as it looks like I am harping on abit!!! especially after recent benching successes!!! But then decided to anyway 
Today I won one of the prizes for being top in one of the three benches in the Kingston HOT Overclocking competition on HWbot.
Three benches make up the competition which is split in two time scales. After the first two weeks the leader in any of the three bench marks which are Memory Clock, Super Pi 32m and XTU using Haswell and Kingston RAM win a full system bundle. This bundle comprises of M6E, Haswell, Kingston RAM and Coolermaster PSU.
At the end of Four weeks the top five overall across all three benchmarks goes to Vegas all expenses paid to compete for a $10,000 prize.
Sadly I could only win one bundle as I am top in two sections and leading the field by 21 points.
Full coverage of the scores can be seen here.

My score in the XTU bench is particularly satisfying. It is the best ever recorded using a retail Haswell CPU, Andre Yang who is top used an ES which can accept far more volts safely.
I benched XTU at over 6,125mhz with C6 RAM at 2500+. XTU is a very tough bench to pass. The toughest of them all infact, with only two scores ever seen over 6ghz on Haswell. XTU is based on Prime95 so Prime stable 6,125ghz Haswell anyone!!!
This score can be found here:

I actually have afew better scores with even higher clocks too but will see if the rest can catch up before I unleash the pain!!!!
and hopefully book my plane ticket to Vegas.
