Not sure how that's related to overclocking an i7 4770K, as I sure you know well
From what I can gather from bit of research getting to 4.6Ghz would be very good on air and also require a good chip.
De-lid bud
Mind you, with my shaky old hands, I wouldn't do it
Na I won't be going that far but thanks for the suggestion
Since I built my new setup at Christmas virtually all I've done is overclock and run benchmarks.
I've almost reached the point now where there isn't much left to gain so gonna start using it for what I built it for.
Well that's the plan
Ya, pretty much spot on. We buy this expensive gear and then bench it but reality, we bought it for gaming, so can't blame you
Scores added chaps
Scores added chaps and very impressive Jr. getting into the top 5 is very tough
16. 11888. GFX Score 14141. 290X. Air cooled. Physocs Score 11918. CPU 3770K @ 5.0 Water cooled - Geeman1979 - Link
Not impressed at all by my "Physocs" score Greg
lol hangover typing isn't good
Well done Jr and very very good score

My stock run for comparison.

Get them under water and get a custom BIOS on them and these things fly. The AIB bios volts are very tame but I recommend only switching BIOS if you want to go for it in benching and your cards are under water. 24/7 I stick to the AIB BIOS and never bother overclocking.
I assume they are different vendor cards?
Mine were running 2 different BIOS's till I flashed the Asus BIOS on them both (one of my cards is an Asus and the other is EVGA SC).

Both are standard Geforce cards. I could try flashing them with a new BIOS, but think i'll wait until they are under water
Probably just different batches but nothing wrong with your GPU score. To let them stretch their legs, I upgraded to a 3930K and water cooled everything quite a long while back and the best move I made.
2500K
Pretty sure Greg came from a 2500k, but that was long before he had Titans (560ti iirc??) he's had the 3930k since SLI680s....he's long overdue for a CPU upgrade
Yer, I grabbed another 680 and was seriously bottlenecked in BF3 and decided to sauce the MM for a replacement and got lucky with a 3930K and RIVF for £550 iirc. As for an upgrade, the 4930K is nice but just not worth it for me (my way of saying I am skint and can't afford it)

Scores updated and very nice score Pinto
Feel free to add "Time data measurement not available" scores. A few of the scores recently have had this and I don't agree with adding them but it isn't worth the grief, so add away.
I am going to see how the day pans out and then I will decide on keeping them all going. If it doesn't go as planned, then please do
Scores added/updated. I have removed a few scores that didn't match the rules of the OcUK Future Mark bench threads.
