I've been doing some winter H2O testing to see If I could move up in the ranks a little...
I'm not putting my whole rig outside, just trying to cheat. Here's a pic:


A friend came over the other day, came back in the living room and said "Dude, what happened? Did a robot explode in there !!!? "...
I guess she has a point, it does look pretty geeky.

Anyway, it's close to 0c here tonight so I tried to best my CB 11.5 score on the old 8350 (1236PGN).
I was hoping to move up in the ranks a little, but this board is at it's limits. It's a budget board (Asus M5A97 R2.0) and anymore CPU voltage caused a "CPU Overvolt" error during post.
I need a decent board for bench testing, I may pick up an open box Sabertooth next time I see one on NewEgg...

I didn't move up, but I did manage to beat my previous best, so it may keep me in the top 10 a bit longer...



The "Wow" was just a fluke that happened during testing, so I saved it.

I'm rambling now, and this is a little OT, but I closed on my house tonight!
I'm officially a "home owner" now, and will be moving into the new place at the end of the month...
