After two months of intense overclocking, two champions have emerged victors of the AMD Virtual Overclocking Contest.

We set the battlegrounds in February, and today we have our chart topping overclocker of the AMD Phenom II X3 720. Congratulations Chris Morrel, AKA Gomeler, of Atlanta, Georgia with an overclock to 5.16 GHz.

In March we had our first winner -- Travis Jank, AKA V2-V3, of Dalton Gardens, Idaho who was able to take his AMD Phenom II X4 940 (3 GHz) to a chart-topping 5.6 GHz.

We’ll be flying both overclockers out to Los Angeles for a weekend and the chance to recreate their performances. Stay tuned for on-site reporting of this event as it happens the very first weekend in May.

Thanks for reading and have a good Easter, everyone!

I used to work for Compuserve customer service back when service was charged per min. I can't tell you how many phone calls I had to deal with 1000 dollar bills cause a modem hang up connected all month.

So what garentee is Time Warner going to give that they are only metering actual usage and not some virus, malware or hell even the data all the ads take up?

A cap of 40GB per month is a joke. At that rate the United States Postal Service provides more bandwidth than Time Warner with all the Netflix discs they deliver.
