Dude, no offence. Judging by your rig pics and collection of benchmarks, you are
no newb. You know what your system can do, and you have no need to prove it to anyone.
The overclockling scene has always had conflicting requirements as to what is proof in a given thead or database, sometimes super-pi is all that is needed, sometimes much much more. Nearly always though, stressing is run on
all cores of a given chip, and a single super-pi on a multi core CPU is used for benching performance (not testing stability).
The requirements here are not specific, and only
implied by the example in the first post. The sceptical responses to your screenshots are understandable I think.
Why not spend a bit of time, and rerun your stress tests on all cores using the latest Prime for at least 8 hours, and include CPUZ CPU, Mainboard and Memory in the screenshot?
I know I'd love to see them!
n7 also includes a complete list of BIOS settings, which is
HUGELY helpful to others -- even if they don't have his exact mobo. While it's a bit of a PITA to initially create, I can understand when people don't bother with anything beyond the essentials. However, once you have the list you can put it in Excel and record all your overclocks in one spreadsheet, your benchmarks in a second sheet, and temperatures in a third.
I go so far as to make PDF worksheets for all my overclocking sessions, and custom ones for my favorite boards. I find it much more handy to use pen and paper which can easily be input later to Excel. It is much better than a desk covered in scrap paper with scibbled notes.
I used to work in PrePress and Graphic Design, these worksheets take me no time to create. I have binders full of these from over the years. I only keep Excel files for my main systems.
Here's a link to the PDF for my DFI P35, it should be workable for many of todays mobos:

Here's a screenshot for forum viewing:
If anyone would like a custom one I would be happy to make one if you can send me your BIOS's list of settings in a txt file or even post them here.
Personally, I usually include CPUZ in all my screenshots, no matter what the bench or stress test it is. Helps me to keep track of things. But sometimes I opt for Everest OSD, which can display all the info I need about the settings by simply launching one program after the benchmark. However, these are just for me... if I were posting the screenshot online, I would include CPUZ in all of them. I am fairly hardline about requirements too, I am of the school that likes to see 24 hours prime even though only 8 is required.
