When you hit a good score
 

i been meaning to ask this for some time now, most if not all the guys here are a perfect example for me to look up to, i was wondering what you guys are like when you hit your first high surprising score?

i still remember the first time i hit above 7GHz at that time i already benched for over 12hrs 30L is almost gone and that was my last try and i can see the LN2 in my pot is going lower and lower i was just sitting there with one hand on the mouse clicking the SetFSB and the other having the finger on the hot key for CPU-Z and every click on the mouse i took a save i was extremely tired and sick of sitting there doing the samething over and over for hrs, (i benched something else too that day) and when i saw 7.**Ghz i got so excited i started jumping up and down and bouncing off the wall..
if it wasn't 5am in the morning i'd go run around screaming like an idiot down the street

i also remember not too long ago when i was just home benchin the 970 and some how end up with 2.4 boint for wPrime 32, 2.0 for wPrime 1024 and mostly SuperPi 32m for .8 boint (that thanks to Rickss69, he walked me over the phone before teaching me how to run it right) i was like OMFG!!!!!

i am a n00b, or a monkey don't knwo how to push buttons or the right buttons, and when i do get something awesome like this i am always extremely happy and jumping up and down and screaming like an idiot

and just min ago i saw Splave, Dentlord and RomDominance was clocking and hit the WR and Splave is very steady and just chilling and opening the CPUZ and i am like if i hit the WR i'd prob nude run downtown nashville 5~6pm rush hr and gone crazy!

so please let me know what you guys are like when you hit a stupidly surprising high score.

oh and ps. most of you may or may not know this but i am kind of like a .1 bointer master... i think i have more .1 boints than anyone that's on the team... :D

I def get some fast heart rate going when I had gtx-580 at 1627 for 03 :) def amazing and exciting

WR you have to act like a cool badass, I was going crazy inside like is this really happening!??@$#

I usually just run the same bench over and over trying to beat my "stuidly surprising high score" until I frustrate myself, lol.

OCD FTW :clapping:

I haven't got a "good" score in so long I've about forgot the feeling. I do know that when you beat a target, get a personal best or whatever that it is what makes me wanna come back for more.

only thing that matters to me was the 01 world record i got with 295. like splave said CRAZY inside and heartrate elevated. but there were people around so i had to act kind of cool :<. normally i keep my excitement inside until the screenshot is saved. then i explode!

This is why we do this.....

The rush out weighs the pain and suffering :blink:

i am so glad i am not the only one that's a little crazy :)

i think i may die if i hit the WR lol


FOR SURE DUDE!

It is never good enough.

I agree with ocm....try harder until you get a better score is usually what i do.

I had a wr for unigine in 512mb 3850 for a while..... am i cool yet?

oh no bro i am not saying anything about done lol
i'll still be pushin and pushin harder and keep on pushin it
it's just you know when ever i hit the best i ever done i get happy and if i surprise i go crazy :D

YES you are cool :) fo sho

Right on my brotha :thumbsup:

Um, can't remember when a piece of hardware did wut it was supposed to. Theres always 2012 tho :D

hahahahaha, very true for me too. Though I will add, wut we expected it to do rather than supposed to.
But that rush in adrenaline from the time you see the FPS shown are better than you have ever seen before to the final score to the time you are able to save it, is what really drives us.

Maybe OCM will be able to give his inputs, if its equal to or far lesser than driving fast race cars but Overclocking is the best way for me to get my adrenaline pumping. Though I dont think I have ever shown any outwards over-joyous reaction.

I'd like to just mention the heartbreak of 3DMark2003 getting thru serious pwnage FPS just to be killed by some homo troll :shock: AND NATURE RUNS ALL FRIGGIN DAY!

true kal..

when those trolls start making love your VGA has no chance!
