Duck Hunts Down 3DMark Vantage Record
Renowned overclocker Duck set a new record 3DMark Vantage. The record was set at an event apparently conducted by Galaxy Tech. The record now stands at P75324 points. Duck used four Galaxy GeForce GTX 580 graphics cards in 4-way SLI to achieve the feat. It appears as if at least one, if not all, use an ASUS BIOS, perhaps to avail the VoltageTweak feature. Apart from the graphics cards, Duck's bench consisted of two Intel Xeon E5680 Westmere-EP 6-core/12-thread processors clocked at 5368 MHz, EVGA Classified SR-2 dual-LGA1366 motherboard, 6x 2 GB Corsair DDR3-2000 MHz CL7 memory, multiple 1200W PSUs (Corsair AX1200W + SilverStone Strider Gold SST-ST1200G), and Intel X25-M 80 GB SSD. In the cooling department, there are Duck's own JCA Water Bear Pot WB02A and K|ngp|n F1 cooling the two processors, K|ngp|n Tek9 4 and 5.0 cooling the GPUs, a custom heatsink cluster cooling the GPU VRM, and gobs of insulation.

Also, vrm heatsinks held on with rubber bands sounds like something I'd do.
On the other hand, to bad that those systems are made to last only a couple of minutes, and they cannot play anything on them also. Pretty useless if you ask me...
"Que despiche hicimos" jajajaja
There are probably others out there but this one has nearly 4000 better GPU score.
To Duck's credit, his does have the highest CPU score i've ever seen.

...and the OS: XP from 2001. It's 9 years old, can we drop it yet?
(I know that you are meant to be able to get higher scores with XP, but still...)
don't leave home without it.
