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.

Or 5 or 6 or screw it get 8

I have pre prepped before I bench at least 2 hd's per OS, one sata and one IDE per OS minimum.
