Thanks for the comments guys
Overclocking is a hobby of mine, I'm currently ranked third in the UK
Cooling was with a Single Stage cooler which means the CPU was running at around -40
The base clock is pushed so that the ram frequencies are higher, I could run it at 100 X 56 but that would be boring
Voltage at 1.6v is fine if it's cool enough

Here's my MSI lightning GTX 580 under LN2

would love to run a liquid nitrogen cooled system, have to stick with air and keep it fairly standard (for now, I feel 4.6/4.8 may suffice for a little while when I get playing around

You lot do realise that ancient version of super pi only stresses one core.
So on a quad core, one core is being used whilst the other three are sat there scratching their *****!

I have just tried it and got 16 seconds
E8400 at 3 GHz
4 GB ram
windows 7
8800GTX card
EDIT to say.
this was my old system and it done it in 15 seconds, so how come it takes a second longer, but I have more and faster ram, and a faster graphics card??
15 sec
E8400
2 gig ram
500w power

Weirdly the CPU meter widget hits about 11% when it's calculating?

Weirdly my workstation does it in 19s then hangs and finally gives an answer of 34s.
Note to self, don't run it from a network drive
Ok so actually on the local drive;
Laptop does it in 17s
Workstation in 12s
