Let The Games Begin

After a countdown, the first phase opened with the Everest contest in the Battle for the Best P45 OC, followed by Super Pi, 3DMark 2001, and 3DMark 2006. The first three winning teams were determined after a total of the four overclocking competitions.

Two Japanese players. One is in charge of hardware operation and the other is adding LN2 for the processor.The contest platform of the Japanese team.

The Singaporean team uses LN2 for both the processor and display card.Singaporean team players are adding the processor.

The Hong Kong team shows the working staff the completion of item Super Pi by raising their hands.ATI Radon HD 3870 cards were presented to the lucky players who successfully predicted the results of the contest.

Whenever a winning team emerged in one of the four contest components, the hosting organization immediately drew from the visitors with successful predictions from the raffle box representing that team, then presented awards.

A Winner Emerges

After four hours of intense competition, the results of the top three teams of the P45 Overclocking Championship were determined. The winning teams were: Team Sweden in first, Team Russia in second, and Team USA in third place. They were awarded with $5,000, $2,000, and $1,000, respectively.

Detailed contest results for the three winning teams are:

  • Team Sweden: Everest Corp 4.5=10025, Super Pi 1M=8.172, 3DMark 2001=102445, 3DMark06=29630
  • Team Russia: Super Pi 1M=8.188, 3DMark 2001=101639, 3DMark06=27945
  • Team USA: Everest Corp 4.5=9704, Super Pi 1M=8.360, 3DMark 2001=98887, 3DMark06=29463

The United States and Russia tied for the results, but under the condition that sponsors prefer a higher 3DMark result, the Russian team won second place.

In first was the second team representing Sweden. The team players are Jon Sandstrom and Petri Korhonen.In second were Russian team players Sargis Getemyan and Dmirty Rodionov.

Third place went to the first team representing United States, players Ross Lapkoff and Mark LeaMaster.By utilizing ready-made materials, Team USA uses mineral water bottles to assist LN2 being poured into the copper cylinder of the processor and display card.

Duncan NZ :
chicks.... AND ...

When?


Sorry for the disrespect...not. I like GA, earlier this would have been worth more. Now I want to see the i7, even though I know it's a server chip.

More chicks, sorry I'm a pig.

Just noticed, all the mentions of the Gigabyte boards on display are wrong concerning the GA-P45-UD3 board. You labeled it as a GA-P45-UD3P, which it is not because it has only 1 PCIe 2.0 slot.

There are 3 models
GA-P45-UD3 (shown)
GA-P45-UD3R (different chipset cooler)
GA-P45-UD3P (2 pcie 2.0)

So. When does overclocking enter the olympics ? Seems to be high profile evens these days ....

Though I in general appreaciate toms, I have to say the oc coverage pieces, aren't exactly great though. Neither the msi ones nor the gigabyte actually provide enough information to warrant an article longer than a single page of news. I mean - where are the details of what mods were applied, or what tricks were used, and how (if at all) they work. I bet most of the contestants are capable of english to some extend.
Less pointless images, and more details would be nice. Sure the chicks are nice to look at, but they don't exactly contribute to our knowledge (the redheads are nicely cooked and ready to be eaten).
