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.

You're killing me with these excuses. 
Has a spot for just using the 3dmark link.
And now 3dmark also shows your speeds so you can technically use that and then load up cpu and gpuz and snap a snippit of the screen if need be, but so far i have not had to do that yet. I just post the link in the 3dmark box and wait it out.

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.

No worries brother Hallowen. It's all good!
 
You have a good night.

 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!
 


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

While doing some overclocking today, Been thinking about how EVGA's upgrade path seems to go on and on causing a financial chaos situation for Benching fanatics on almost a monthly basis lately.......
 
The Next Graphics upgrade that will be released is the EVGA GTX 980 Classified, Then a GTX 980Ti, Then maybe a GTX 980Ti Classified and/or GTX 980Ti Classified Kingpin Edition, and somewhere around that time frame there might be a GTX 990 Dual Core, etc....etc....etc....and that's not considering the costs of All the completely different Graphics water blocks that for one reason or another won't fit the next newly revised PCB designs.
 
I Bet even Intel will eventually jump on the bandwagon again and decide to enable the four other cores on the 5960X octa-core, Turn it into an unlocked Desktop version of their Xeon 12 core and selling it at another multi-thousand $$$$ price,..... unless they decide to come out with another CPU socket revision (2011-V4?) that requires another new Motherboard design that uses DDR5 Memory Modules.
 

 
Ok, Now I Feel Better. LOL!

If EVGA keeps raising their GTX 980 Product Prices like they Just have done today, I may eventually be in the same boat!

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

LOL, Still looks like you're doing pretty good running three GTX 980's in the 3DMark 11 Performance preset.
