I think I suck at giving motivational speeches so im going to leave that alone! 
 

No You don't, You got your point across and I will try to give it more effort in the Future. 

Well Hats off of course to John normal guy bencher supreme. Then of course Q56, Hallowen, Nateman (when he benched and didn't work on making it better for others to bench), and everyone one else I forgot.
We all love this! I'm not sure why. Try explaining computer benching to someone that simply doesn't get it. And well they will be dumb founded at best.
 Back when the "get it colder thread" was originally started by Hallowen, I read it a lot, and of course "get it colder II". Always thought these guys are cool (pun intended). I can't post here. I need to do something that says "hey I'm one of you"
  Anyway I love benching. only thing is it is a damn expensive hobby.
  So I guess I just wanted to say I really appreciate all I have learned, and been inspired by all you nuts. And though I have never met any of you and probably never will.Thank you very much.
GET IT COLDER DAM-IT!
 

Now that was a motivational post! I totally concur!
 

Not much. Built my first desktop (it's not "extreme", but it's my first). Thinking to liquid-cool the whole thing and get a 2nd 780 Ti Classy in SLi.

It doesn't have to be extreme as long as it's something you enjoy. And those parts are a very nice setup.
PS: i did have second place on an overclocked note 3 also. 
 

No You don't, You got your point across and I will try to give it more effort in the Future.

 
Well, not so much more effort as in more through. Easy points are easy points. Thats at least 15 qualifying test if you do 2 3 and then four cards. 

Exactly!
But bench some of the early benches. You will find out that they still gain you points and fun.

...And a few more HWBOT global points added for a 3DMark Vantage Performance submission.
 

Unfortunately, The Screen Shots I have with the 980's in Fire Strike don't show the required CPU-Z Motherboard description because I never thought about the HWBOT Rules requiring specific Screen Shots while I was benching back then.
Also the few 980 runs I made in 3DMark 11 don't show the required Memory CPU-Z Shot either.
 
Most of those runs I made with the 980's "sometimes" just show CPU-Z description shots of the CPU, Memory, GPU-Z and the Bench Results verification screen pic.

Not trying to make your life miserable Man , I'll try posting "as is" tomorrow and see if someone doesn't "object" to me for not following the HWBOT Rules for posting like they did 206 days ago when I was using incomplete verification screen shots.
 
For Tonight, I'm about done with any more benches or submissions because it's 9:30PM here on the East Coast and I need some rest.

GET IT COLDER DAM-IT!
 

Trust me... I DO MISS IT!!  But I do love the challenge of making hardware more then breaking it ;) 

LOL.
At that point Ill just borrow hardware and keep what i got. 

No wonder the gigabyte card I just bought cost 619.00 bucks!

It's all a part of my plan. To get you motivated. LOL!

Yep. I think im ready to grab one of them for a keeper once they hit.
 
Side note:
 
See. I had someone crying about no screen shot on my last 4 submissions. And all were ok'd by a mod.
 
Which i knew who the cryer was.

Its a bit different now. 3dmark can read your cpu and gpu speeds. Then you set the same speed to find the memory speed, But since i know what mine is that part is easy. Open your score on 3dmark.com and add the cpu and gpu and snap a picture. mod said the scores where fine, but to show how easy it was to fix I added the screen shots.
http://hwbot.org/submission/2647201_johnksss_3dmark___fire_strike_extreme_3x_geforce_gtx_980_18286_marks
I i left cpuz and gpuz in the exact same spot and just did the four scores in question.
 
Thanks!
 
You cant get your hands on them any faster than they are released. . That's why im still running these for a few more days.
And no one card is a cure all for great scores. So you try to grab what you can as you switch through cards, but in this case. You will be in a good position to climb pretty darn fast!!
Remember, this is all stock and cpu is on the chiller. That's it. The harder scores to get i used a fan. And since this go round, hardware is very damn expensive. Not alot of people going to be doing the complete upgrade to get those scores. That is your advantage. If i had the RVE i would get another card and do 4 way.
 
You'll see when you get your next batch of cards, because now you'll have an idea how to go about it.
Im lazy right now so no ln2 or dice. I really need to quit doing that though.

Yeah, As usual, Here I am once again waiting with baited breath , This time for the GTX 980 Classifieds to show up sometime this month in yet another attempt to try and purchase four of them for my 4-Way SLI "Habit' Like a junky needing another Fix  to cope with my Overclocking Addiction I seem to be unable or want to Quit because I'm Totally hooked on it! LOL!
 
....Then again, I suppose to the casual observer of this "Hobby", Most of them who haven't ever become involved or engaged in this allegedly crazy/insane side of computer system modifications will NEVER understand the Mindset that drives someone to spend so much time and $$$$ JUST for the satisfaction to try and push hardware over the operational electrical/mechanical design Limits as we Overclockers do! 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 

You two are so right, my uncle who is an IT guy say repeatedly that he doesn't get it and says it's a waste of time and money.  But I got him to change his tone, as he is an avid muscle car and race fan.
LN2 benching is Top Fuel drag racing, for computers.  All you need is about 750 revolutions under load, and not explode long enough to set a new world record ET.   That is exactly what we do here.
 
i love seeing any of my hobbies pushed to a completely absurd and realistically useless level, simply because it is just FUN.
 
Just waiting to see how long until Hallowen finally converts to Nitromethane errr LN2
