Being nosey that I am,
What else do you use your PC's for?
Great score by the way
Im into gaming quite a bit sometimes up to 80 hours a week.
I have also been having a lot of fun benching things lately.
The reason for my different PCs is CIV 5, I play it on a huge map and find late in the game it is very demanding on hardware.
When Civ 5 came out I was playing it on an i7 975/HD5970s and found I could get just over half way through a game before it was too much for the hardware.
Then I upgraded to a i7 980/GTX 590s and found I could get 3/4 the way through a game before problems.
Finally I got to my i7 3960x/GTX 690s and found I could just about finish a game.
On extreme settings Civ 5 is an absolute ******** and a bit of an embarrassment for the game devs.
One game I am really looking froward to is RTW 2.
Civ V runs better on a Q chip than a K chip iirc

When I get the rig up and running I can see the arctic silver working overtime to see what benches the best.
Is arctic silver still ok to use or is there better on the market these days.
Stulid done a test of more or less all of them 
I am a fan of IC Diamond 24 and find this to be the best personaly. It does not give great results straight away but after a couple of days it is awsome.
PK-3 is what I am on now (I ran out if IC) and find it is very good also. No bedding in time with it.

I bought one of the big tubes (30g I think 
) of the pk-1, used it for my GPU and CPU. Pretty good but I will probably die before I use it all lol. Only got the big one because I always lose the little ones, and that's no a good idea with my 2 year old running around.
