A little about myself:
Apparently living in Denmark in a small city on Sjælland called Korsør.
My job is driving a cab and i have done that for manny years.
Was 10 years in the Royal Danish Army and was stationed twice abroad on the Balkans,last in a tank-squadron.
Have been working since i was young,bringing out newspapers in all kind of weather conditions.Was attending highschool,but ran sour doing homework.Have done manual working of all kind untill i started my 10 years in the army.

When did i and how i got started benching:
For some years i had laptops,but i found out my GF`s Athlon x2 64 stationary pc was scoring bigger in WEI after some minor upgrades i did after she complained how slow it were.Thereafter i couldnt resist reading reviews building my own pc in mind.Its how i stumbled upon OC3D.
After several months reading stuff,i came up with this:Crosshair iv formula,965be,corsair hx850,hd5870,1600mhz ram,thermalbreak case,intel 80gb ssd,1tb WD hdd,oem dvd.It does well today,as i gave it to my nephew and sister last year.(was upgraded to 1090T)
Then i joined the oc3d f@h team and found out my 1090T/hd5870 couldnt match the intel stuff,therefore i upgraded to i7-950,x58-ud3r rev2,gtx460 soc.After this i got the f@h bug and expanded my hardware collection to include 4 full speccified i7-970 folding rigs doing 400k ppd.Living in Denmark is expensive,and i got myself a 3500£ leccy bill,and i had to ditch Folding for 6 months,selling most of my hardware :o,but i had some hardware left i wouldnt sell,the enormous Sapphire hd5970 4gb toxic was one the items.I started to find the max oc on one of my i7-970`s and it did well under water,4.8ghz.My hd5970 did 1018/1303 @ 1.3v.To my amusement i made it nr1 with a hd5970 :cool: in 3dm-vantage(i just reclaimed 2nd place).From thereon i was hooked uploading benchmark scores on HWbot and doing well so i think.

My favorite hardware:
Nr1. would be my Sapphire HD5970 4gb Toxic.Its the fastest hd5970 ever made,period...
Nr2. is my two mobo`s,both from Asus,The X79-R4E and Z77-M5G.I have owned several mobo`s but these ROG branded motherboards is 2nd to none when oc´ing.Build quality and apperence,well i have only seen it otherwise with the gigabyte z68x-ud7.
Nr3. is my i7-3770k.It does well,whether its air,water or subzero.5,9ghz on dice is pretty good.Hope it will do 6.4+ghz on ln2 :lol:
Nr4. is my Corsair Dominator pc12800-c7,i had them booting 10-11-10-28-1T 2400mhz :cool:.They are old stuff but they have Elpida under the hood,and i used them resently with the R4E at 8-9-8-23-1T 2000mhz doing some 3dm-vantage and wprime 1.55 hwbot modded.
Nr5. Hmm,really dont know,but maybe the Aquacomputer Cuplex Kryos HF cpu watercooling block.Its about 5c cooler than the Xspc Rasa waterblock.
And i must add,i simply love my NH-D14 too.
Nr6. Well that will be the rest of my hardware collection,including gskill tridentX 2400mhz,i7-970(4.8ghz on water),Gigabyte X58-OC,Asus X58-R3E,Gigabyte Hd7970-oc(x2),club3d hd4890 1gb full cobber,Msi hd5770 hawk,Phobya 360-1.2,Xspc rx240 and manny more items.
Last i have to say,i like the Akasa Apache 120mm 1300rpm fan.Good quality,high pressure and good airflow at decent decibells.

My favorite benchmark:
That will be 3dmark vantage.Its hard to master when pushing very very hard and getting top scores.The scores will drop if you dont allign the system properly when maxing out or worse,bsod blackscreen or hard reboots.Other benchmarks will do so also,but 3dmark vantage you need to reset bios or else the system will crash in windows easily after reboot.

Future benchmarking:
After i got this beauty 3770k,i hope to do well in 2d benchmarks on ln2 and to improve my 3d scores.
Superpi,pifast and wprime is really hard to get top50 scores without using ln2 at 6.4ghz+ @ 1.8v.
My scores on Dice is pretty good but 5.8-5.9ghz isnt the big boys playground. ^_^
Hope to go subzero also on my gpu`s soon.

What hardware to aim fore:
Two gigabyte hd7970 oc for top global scores,a golden 3930k that will do 5.5ghz on water,some expensive superfast rare rams like Gskill PI 2300mhz c8 or ripjawsX 2133mhz c7.And another seasonic xseries-1250w could be handy.The X79 platform is a real powerguzzler when maxed out with two hd7970.But thats only dreamy hardware right now. :(

What i like while doing benchmarks:
I like all parts of it,from preparing hardware to do the benchmarks,uploading and finally see how good i were in numbers on hwbot.

Some pics of subzero.

Thats all for now

Kind regards

Nice one Kim :)
Enjoyed reading this :cool:
Im jealous of that 3770K but I have a little project on the go :lol:
Yeah,think i can recall something about a R4E mobo.Hope your cpu will do better than my 3930k did at subzero. ^_^
Edit:And i noticed you have changed your sig to a gtx680 :cool:
That will do good in 3dm11 ^_^
