OK Contest update.
After much discussion, we have decided to address the "ambient" temp issue.
It doesn't feel fair to penalize anyone for living in a cold environment, although I don't believe that any of our members live in a 50f degree house.  goat.
So we have decided that ac blowing directly on your bench rig or radiator (chilled water) is ok TO A POINT. Therefore NO submissions with a temp of lower than 15c on any core will be accepted. No warming up your system before a screenshot. Please do not f' up this contest by trying to gain an unfair advantage. Any of you can win this with good overclocking technique and a little patience. Carry on.

Probability high that I just killed the 980X due to a water leak.

sad to hear, but its better that a processor goes down instead of the board, easier and quicker I believe in US to get them RMAd, btw I hope it was not a golden CPU or something.....

FYI Banik, in the RealTemp folder there is a RealTempGT.exe, which will give temps for all 6 cores.
Here's my initial testing, Asus R3Gene, Win7, no tweaks.
We've got frost warnings for this area tonite.

Confirmed - cpu is trashed. Rma is out of the question...scorched pins will not fly. It will boot but all cores show 100c....
I do not know how losing a chip is better than losing a mb.

What is scorched ??
I RMA'd a chip with parts of some of the pads missing.

I would try RMA, they may refuse it, but it's worth a shot.
