Right after a lot of digging I seem to have found the problem. My CPU is not boosting at all.

After wrestling with the bios I do have it boosting now but not to where it should. Apparently this can be a bios issue so there's little I can do about it. I have got it boosting to 3300mhz now but it should be doing 3400. My ram is XMP at 1600 which I suspect may be the issue here.

Put my score up for now Greg but I'm aiming to sort it out. I should be getting a much higher Physics score once it boosts properly.
 
View results online button does nothing... (well about 5 minutes later is opened a million tabs trying to upload the results and failing) benchmark was uninspiring anyhow - even 3D Marks 2001 was better.

Click to expand...

Lol... Thats you clicking the View results online button a million times while it wasn't working :p

Hammering the left mouse button to death? Work work work you ### ## #### ## # #### ## # work Now! :D
 
^^ Knew someone who'd post that :D - I only clicked 2 maybe 3 times tops. Nothing happened so I forgot about it. About 5 minutes later it just started constantly opening new tabs in my browser trying to upload results til I task killed it.


EDIT: Probably because the first time I pressed the button it didn't "debounce" properly and visually stayed in the depressed state for several seconds until I clicked it again.

Ok, I think that is all the scores added. I didn't add your triple card score TB because of how wrong it was but if you still want me to, no problem.

Thanks Humbug for spotting my errors (and I am sure there is a few more), so if anybody spots anything, please be sure to let me know.

Big thanks again to all for entering.

As for suggestions, I reserved a slot for which I may well just do GPU scores and ignore what CPU is in the machine. As we are on a GPU forum, I feel this would be a good thing. Any thoughts on this guys?

Another suggestion was linking to the post that people have put their score in but I feel it is quite a pain adding a link to the 3dmark score, and adding another link will seriously make it hard work for me. I don't mind doing this and again, let me know what you guys think.

As for custom coolers, I can't see much point when so many cards come with decent custom coolers already. If people want to lie about what cooling they are using, that is their choice (and I don't see why they would).

Any more suggestions are welcomed.

Other thoughts I had are:

Use Fire Strike for all GPU's
Use cloud gate for a mid range cards (maximum of a 660TI/7870 (non XT)
Use Ice storm for older gen cards (580/6970)

Good or not?
