My personal goal complete- 3 FM Hall of Fame spots

[Gautam]

I do not normally like tooting my own horn, but felt this being worthy of sharing. This summer, my goal was to take out three Futuremark Hall of Fame spots simultaneously. I had no idea whether it was realistic or not, but nevertheless, four processors and too many boards to count later, I nailed it.



I'm fully aware that driver issues, etc. are preventing some others that deserve to be up there ahead of me. However, some interesting things to note about my scores is that literally appear to be the highest done without the use of liquid nitrogen. On the flip side, they were done inside of a case in a 24/7 configuration, which is quite atypical for me, but I felt like trying it this time for an added challenge. The CPU is cooled by a bone-stock Prometeia Mach II (unless you consider an LCD and Lian-Li kit substantial mods ), and the video cards by regular watercooling. Another rarity is that the processor is a retail, which didn't come from any special source, simply newegg.com.

The setup is as follows:

Core 2 Extreme X6800 4.35GHz
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
Team Group Xtreem PC2 5300 395MHz 3-3-3-4
X1900XTX+CrossFire 750/878
Gigabyte I-Ram
