Gents-
Here, to the best of my ability, are the final scores as compared to original stock posts for Forum Wars 06. I had to scrounge around for these scores and for the most part used the prelims after subtracting out the remaining 1/2 of the 3DMark01 score that we originally posted. At the same time my work PC was failing so if you see a bad number please inform me.
That said, Wanna managed to take the best Stock to Overclock score with a 37.949% gain in performance. Chriper came in a close second with 35% and right on nis heels was Dman2ask at 34.4%. Those are the top 3 gainers and I'll let you guys see where everyone else fell out below.
I did not include those who failed to post a final score, those who chose not to overclock or any 2nd rigs.
Congrats Wanna and very well done! As the winner you get your choice of a slightly used Zalman 7700Cu HSF or a slightly used Arctic Cooling NV5 GPU cooler. Let me know champ.

Way to go WGF!!! And nice job merc for doing this it is nice to see how our scores were able to be improved vs the stock!
Thats kewl I never woulda figured that LOL
As far as cooling goes I'm pretty set Merc though I do appreciate the thought
And once again I'd like to say Good Job to everyone who participated!!!!
Congrats WGF, some excellent work on that one.
Damn that is a dooozy wgf good job and good work all we all learned something I will have to keep at it and profect this thing Thanks all and GOOD JOB...
Those are some very interesting stats indeed! Would it be too much to ask to add one more column for the CPU used? When we open this up to the public, I'm sure folks will want to know what overclocks well and what does not.
Jax: how did you sandbag your stock score?
Arlie-
Oy! Not a bad idea, I'll try and do it tomorrow. Liek I said, though, I had to do a lot of digging and then some math to get those scores as many had 1/2 of 3D01 in them. I think all the numbers are correct but if anyone sees a discrepancy please let me know and I'll update.
EDIT: Done. The optis are king apparently.
Arlie, good catch, I screwed up the data on JaxMac. He is now more in-line with the other FX60's. My bad.
No surprises there, the Opty rules in the OC realm and WGF pushes it as hard as anybody out there when it comes to squeezing every last Hz out of it. Some serious honorable mentions to Chriper and dman2ask who were right behind WGF in the most improved category! Very nice job, guys!
