Fortron

Our Overdrive Overclocking Championship just finished, and we have a winner: The US team IronMods dominated, but Italy was close behind, followed by Germany.

The Overdrive championship is happening between Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday we brought you the first set of photos from the event. Here are more impressions and emotions from Day 1!

They all overclock, but they all have a different approach. We talked to the teams and looked at how they start working. Just installing the operating system and getting started is not sufficient.

Tom's Hardware is hosting the world's best overclockers at our new Paris HQ today and tomorrow. Five teams try their luck in getting Core i7 Extreme systems to expected 5+ GHz clock speed.

With Team USA's winning scores in its sights, the German teams battled it out for the chance to compete in our world final even later this month.
