Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2009 Taipei Final

Rob Williams · 06-03-2009, 02:00 AM

For four months, GO OC 09 regional finals have been taking place all around the world, but today, the first and second place winners from each event are here in Taipei to compete for the grand prize.

Updates can be found here. Go North America!
