Hybrid crossfire 1x 3870 x2 and a single 3870. 
3d03; 93973
2nd entry 3d03; 95523 Hybrid crossfire 1x 3870 x2 and a single 3870. [an improvement]
foxconn BlackOps.
qx9650
1x 3870 x2 on water 1x 3870 on air!
patriot extreme ddr3 1280
tagan 900 psu
raptor 74gb drive.
single stage phase cooling.
Windows Vista.
super pi to follow. technical problem. :yumyum:
set up; who said being tidy was a requirement for benching? Benching is like rock n roll, you just gotta do it!
Motherboard is a Foxconn BlacOps, a sensitive beast to say the least.
Had a few headaches with this board but when it runs right its capable of kicking out some real power. I would love to see how the MSI P45D3 Platinum Motherboard squares up to it.
getting high fsb on the blackops is a real challenge, it doesnt come easy!
My little helper has had enough benching for one day and has decided to take a nap just when I need to refill the waterloop!! cant find good staff anywhere nowadays
Changed motherboard and cpu, we now have;
Asus commando [unmodded]
e8500 cpu
1x 3870
74gb raptor drive
2gb crucial ballistix 8500
tagan 900 psu
windows xp pro.
super pi score 9.08
hwbot link;
Still pushing!
9.078
3dmark 03 single card 22078
windows xp pro
asus commando
e8500 [single stage]
ati 3870 [on air]
raptor 74gb
tagan 900 psu

I believe, [if im correct] that 1st and second place is shared between Baron and myself.
Big respect must go out to 'Dualist' for his awesome scores!! and all the other guys who entered.
I know that Baron and myself will rep oc3d/btuk and the uk proud with our best efforts!!
Not forgetting MSI UK.
