Look no further then the guys over at XtremeSystems.com. These are the guys who took the P4 past 8.0GHz and recently broke a Skulltrail system at 6.0GHz. Those guys are incredible.

 

[TSIMonster]

There are many at XCPUS.com that can do some massive overclocks.

Hey, what about a mini-contest for a few lucky (regular users) spectators to win a trip as well to be part of the fun! I'd love to go and observe, though I know my o/c skills aren't the cream of the crop.

Discrimination

Now overclock team holland (www.coolclocks.nl) can't join because it's USA only! Any chance this could be changed?

If I had the money to upgrade all the time, I'd try some ridiculous voltages on air. My E6600 deserves 1.9V+ for it's loyal lack of service. I'd like to try some dice or LN2, but I'd probably kill myself or someone else.

@TSIMonster: Thou hast mentioned the forbidden name!

 

[randomizer]

Oh I didn't notice the USA only part. Why does every competition on the internet only ever involve the USA? OC competition at my place, I'll fire up the BBQ too!

 

[truehighroller]

I was in the Gigabyte Over Clocking contest and was in second place on Air until the last hour and people jumped in with LN2 and knocked me down to 7th. I had my Q6600 @ 4.17Ghz on air.

 

[randomizer]

What were you running, 1.8V? :lol:

@remcokatz:
I encourage you to send your application to the email linked in the article. Although we haven't validated other contest opportunities, we will be happy to consider applications in other countries with BestofMedia representation.

Thank you,
Patrick

Hey seriously, why don't we have underclocking contests?

 

[Guest]

Are participants allowed to bring any of their own hardware or is it a contest where everyone is provided the same thing and the best scores win? Are vmods permitted?

 

[truehighroller]

I was @ 1.6v haha.... I was kickin g arse and taking names though . That was with my GA-P35-DQ6.

 

[Crank]

I want to nominate Charles Wirth a.k.a FUGGER at XtremeSystems.com.

 

[Guest]

Look at the people at OverClock.net, they have some sick stuff going down also

 

[SuAsDu]

Just curious.. when will the participants be announced, and how many??

 

[pschmid]

We are finalizing the schedule at this point.
Tom's provides all the hardware, but all types of mods are allowed.

Best,
Patrick

 

[SuAsDu]

Patrick,

That is awesome to hear. I understand you are finalizing the schedule, have the contestants already been selected?

 

[randomizer]

Do the contestants get to keep any hardware they don't kill? :lol:

 

[shadowthor]

im assuming probably not

 

[Guest]
