Sorry it took my so long:
E8600 Q820A727

It's 3D benchable on moderate air cooler (Mugen II) all the way till 5Ghz (527x9.5).

I'm so behind this week guys, I'll try to post some more till Friday!

Thanks mate!

hi ladies

i just checked out the team rankings...the greeks have fallen from #2....jmax has soared high again...

ati 5xxx is to be blamed.....LOL

Jmax posted some nice scores yesterday, but we saw a lot of contribution today too. It's even too much to get it all on one screenshot on my laptop, so you'll have to check it out yourself at hwbot.
TRG has pushed some P3s again!
And big congrats to Linuxfan, entering top 20 globally again in single card vantage!

Well, I managed to verify and top my previous wprime score and break 8 seconds which has earnt me a nice 3rd place. I've been out on festive occasions so will be stuttering my progress, but I plan to get a touch higher max clocks as I had a screenie saved at 5025, and a sub 9.5 second Spi run, but my raid0 array got corrupted shortly afterwards so it was a case of reinstall, couldn't even repair it or keep the files

I don't really go through that much hardware, but I have access to an E6600 and E8500 (the latter I know will do 620FSB+). I guess I won't be able to break any records without LN2 on those chips though.

I strongly recommend getting a cheap IDE drive off ebay for benching purpose, when I began overclocking my 680i I had to repair or install OSs almost every day. A dedicated benching HDD saves you from a lot of hassle and will not harm your scores in any benchmark besides PCMarks of course.
