Youngpro & dinos22 had a benching get together last weekend using some of the latest gear to attack 3DMARK2001 and put some scores together for HWBOT Super Tuner Contest! This contest is a must see, check it out here.
There was a livestream going as well, great results and some memories left which dinos22 posted about on OCAU.

I did a bit of testing recently with the recently revived GTX275 Lighting and am happy to report I finally clinched the single W.R. after another bench session
The P67X-UD3R-B3 is a little cracker of a board. Z68 gear is around the corner and will now have the same "X" range (i.e. P67X). For this board "X" means it now supports SLI, has dual 8x in two cards, more SATA3 and USB3, bios extras like PWM frequency %, right angled SATA ports etc, but what’s more important still clocks well and likes 3DMARK2001 .
Test system:
GIGABYTE P67X-UD3R
MSI GTX275 Lightning GPU
Intel Core i5 2500K
Corsair Dominator GT Hypers
Kingpin Fatty pot
Corsair AX1200
Windows XP Pro
Having some fun with 3DMARK01 today, clocking the GIGABYTE P67X-UD3R-B3 with 2500K at 5728Mhz and MSI Lighting GTX275 at 1350/1400

Dino put up a thread on XtremeSystems about the upcoming non-reference GPU from GIGABYTE, GTX580SOC. Have a look at the thread for more info about how it behaves on LN2 and some initial clocks.
