   Thanks Xaltar.
I find CPU OC to be very important in getting a good score. I could tell during the run when I got the cpu at 5.04 that is was going to be my best run to date.  It especially important when i have only the 4 core chip, the 6 core chips just walk all over me in physics and combined score. No worries there though, I knew that going in.
Still need to tweak the gpu bios some, some throttling still going on.

	Number 2 with that CPU/GPU combo now congrats Only a few points separating you from #1 now and the top guy is at 5.3ghz. You top all his scores save physics.

	How much does the CPU OC affect your scores with that GPU? I've noticed that my own GPU is so much of a bottleneck, than even a ~20% OC will only result in an increase in the physics benchmark, which seems to be pretty irrelevant in the calculation of the total score. For the other parts of the benchmark - yes, even the combined test - my CPU OCs have had no effect. Only OC'ing the GPU helps. I would expect your CPU to be able to keep up with a single 980 Ti with ease, but since they're probably more balanced than my CPU/GPU combo, I'm curious.

	Yup, saw that. He has his chip at 5.3 so most likely using LN2, no catching him, lol. Most pleased with the chip, gpu and Asrock mobo though.

	Haha, I was planning on trying the same as soon as I get my hands on a 6600k, BCLK vs multi and see what benches best Looking forward to seeing your results.

	I can run pretty much anything at 4.9 with Vc of 1.465, fixed, llc 2. Temps during runs never hit above 71 on any core, actually two cores hit 70 and 71, with the other two topping out at 68. For short periods of time, I don't see too much of a chance of this presenting any problems. Short time being about an hour at a time. Will try seeing if there is a difference using bclk to achieve higher clocks as opposed to just upping the multi. Never know till ya try, right.

	What kind of voltage are you running to get 4.9 benchable on your 6700k? By the looks of it you have a good chip on your hands
