Cheers matt 
just trying to work out the weak link now, my tridents dont tighten as well as i'd like and not enough capacity with the ripjaws, not sure how close i am with those as it just quits the prog, need more time as i'm sure theres more to be had. This is where i take my hat off to the likes of 8Pack etc, being able to squeeze those extra few points as its very time consuming and at times certainly has me scratching my head! I'm only about 50pts behind the big man with his LN2 cooled 780 lightnings which puts me 3rd fastest 780(x2) in the world and #1 watercooled 780's on the bot.

21k is awesome for GTX cards mate. 4850! I'm looking forward to moving my 4960 out of my home rig. I'll get it to 5ghz if it kills me. Or it, whatever comes first

Ta bud, what would happen if you keep pushing cpu?? Instant death or severe degradation??

Anyone's guess but there's a chap on OCN who's done the rounds shall we say who's killed one with not much less. Wouldn't want it there long. I'll pump 1.5 through mine if I don't decide to sell it. I think it'll be fine for short runs.
Maybe

Some jelly toddler no doubt. There are a lot of benches that don't allow W8 mind you. I can't be bothered with the heaven rankings because the rules are really special.

I noticed that you were on 8.1, double checked the rules and said nothing as you're doing nowt wrong. Well done, loads of points for the team

only use win8 for the firestrike lot!!
As the Bot are so strict do the reporters get a spanking for being "noobs!"

Win8.1 gives more points than 7, you're lucky really. Because the 780s are now old, the chances of the big benchers to rebench on those cards are slim, so your standings are likely to stay
Same can't be said for the other cards, points are too high not to rebench using the new FS rules and Catzilla.

Ignore him and don't worry about it.
I am not a great fan of HWBot as they use benches that are years out of date or underpowered which favours the LN2 guys.
Their version of Heaven is a total joke and it is impossible for anyone with modern hardware to get a decent score.
You could reply to Mr Scott and ask him to come and post some scores on these forums where he will get some real competition on up to date hardware and benches.

You'll always get one, although I can't be beaten by my old cards
LOLGoing to do another win8 install over the weekend as this is my 24/7 OS and its now very cluttered, so may be able to net a few more pts!!
Not tested any other drivers except latest, any others worth testing without going through them all???

Nope, the latest are good one's for Fire Strike. They've improved since I last ran this benchmark.
