Awards?  Is this another neat post bit thing?  *Looks down after posting.

Congrats though guys!  Looks like we settled in at 7th place!  Better than last year, and we put the hurt on those guys.  They KNOW we're here now. 

 

EDIT:

Awards look snazzy!  Thanks @ENTERPRISE!

As a learning experience for me:

What happened to my Titan run?

 I know I had to edit it due to a browser mishap re-populating my old sub's details.

It didn't make it due to 3 other subs being higher. @Sir Beregondposted his sub after you and knocked yours out

Cool, Thank You
No complaints. Just assumed I'd messed something up.

Don't worry, I suffer from lack of skill too. One of mine got rubbed out for being meager

I didn't even realize. When I looked before subbing, I only saw 2 (Basti's Titan and Avocado's Xp). I think yours must have gotten thrown out before I even went to sub anything.

No, it was there, I saw it, but Basti subbed better. You guys subbed the same day I think.

Wow, that's almost an impressively-low score from me. 

 

My Titan *was* watercooled; the original owner couldn't get it working, so I scored it CHEAP a few years ago.

(he mis-mounted the waterblock, and shorted it. Thankfully, non-destructively).

So, instead of a proper GTX Titan OG cooler, it has an eVGA Titan Black cooler on it. Which, required some 'gorilla mods' with a pair of pliers and a knife before mounting.

 

Some of the pads/cold plate don't make PERFECT contact, so I didn't want to OC and push it. @pioneerisloud got me to try anyway, and she's not a good OCer with such meager cooling.

 

Still, a nice card in my collection.

HWbot ever do CrossfireX/SLI challenges?
I've got 1GB G92s enough for 3+way SLI, and at least 2 working RX580s left hanging around.

Nice! Yeah I had to get some new thermal pads as well for mine as the waterblock ended up being used and missing pads and half of the screws.

 

They had an SLI category for 600-series for Nvidia and Crossfire for Barts I think on AMD for Team Cup. I never got a chance to run my 650 Ti Boosts. We already had 3 subs that were going to be better than those, so I opted to focus on the Titan X and 275 subs.
