At least you'll get a higher physx score in 3dmark. 

LOL, I was just surprised it reached 5.1GHz at 1.457 Vcore. It took me 1.525 Vcore with the 5960X to reach 4.875GHz and 1.574 Vcore to reach 5.0GHz!

Hoping yours does the same?

Don't really Know what to expect. All the 6950X's in the HOF are running around 4.2 - 4.375 GHz, But I see what you mean about their High PhysX scores compared to the 5960X's running around 4.5 - 4.9 GHz and getting higher Graphics and Overall Scores by comparison.
 
Looks like it's Gonna be awhile before I can get in on the Fun with some low end 1080's (Stupid Nvidia Enthusiasts Key Website) and do some testing. But I already see a few members that have four GTX 1080's with FC water blocks ready to go after hoping they get "The Key" for 4-way SLI.
 
I'll just be sitting back and watching what works and what doesn't before I make any solid plans for what components to use.

A Slight Change of Plans.....
 
After staying up All Night giving Considerable Thought about the Graphics/Physics/Overall Score comparisons shown between the 6950X and the 5960X in the Futuremark Hall of Fame, I have come to the conclusion it would NOT be in my best interest to go ahead and use the New 6950X I bought last Saturday, So I would have to say at this time I think I will "Dodge a Bullet" and have managed to cancel it from Newegg for a Full Refund! 

Wise choice.  

This report by fugger on Xtremesystems.org had a lot of testing info on the 6950X.

well, yes.  You will be chilling the water and blowing room temp air across it, which will in turn get colder as it exits the radiator.  The catch... is condensation will form and drip all over the place.  Figure out a way to capture the condensation.
 
Then your waterblock will do this:
 




 
No, i am kidding.  It will not frost over (without an actually chiller unit) and it will not spontaniously carve my nickname into the frost.  But when you start doing the crazy things this thread encourages, you will get condensation.  

wait what??? your going to quit??  oh hell no.  Figure out how to deal with the condensation... There are so many ways posted here.  don't quit, I have faith in you! 

SEE?? I haz faith in you.  Just to get you thinking is what we aim to do here.  Once you start fooling around with cold temperatures, you will have so much fun (and cry at the same time when you push everything to the edge and something fails)

 
 

 

It's always been 1599.99 at my MC.

Things are pretty good for the most part. 
 
Just sitting here debating on if i should test a 6950X, but would need at least 2 1080's first.
That setup would be good for some bot points and move me back up a bit, while we wait and see if they come with this unlock code.
The cards seem to be alright for air benching and that's all i plan to do at the moment so that would work in my favor im thinking.....
 
 
What's been going on with you these days....

Please pardon the intrusion but I have a silly question for you. If I do put my Monsta 360 into an Ice Chest to chill the water my coolant will essentially be 0°C, right? Will the air blowing out of my 240 rad up top of my case blow cool air into the room making my PC into a makeshift AC unit or am I delusional?

 Why run the fan? That would warm up your coolant quicker.

And So.......
 
On One Hand, I'm Glad I didn't buy any GTX 1080's Yet.......
 
On the Other Hand, Even though I could STILL run Benchmarks (Although I bet not very efficiently) in 3/4-way SLI, I Feel Sorry for Those Gamers out there that WON"T be able to use this feature Anymore.......
 

 
 
 
.....Oh, and BTW, Futuremark is down for Changes?.......

Way to go John, #8 in the 2X Fire Strike Extreme HOF!

Wish OC.net (or someone) would come up with a Modded Vbios for the 1080 cards.

 Now that would be sweet!,
