Gigabyte Open Overclocking Championship 2009

[Rob Williams]

The North American regional final of Gigabyte's GO OC 09 overclocking championship took place this past weekend in the City of Industry, and we were there to take it all in. Although no world records were broken, no one disagrees that it was an exciting event, and the result is one lucky overclocker who's now getting ready to head to Taipei for the final.

Heh, well I guess that's one way to get rid of old and outdated Core i7 965 "ES" samples, donate them to an OC competition!

I do like how Gigabyte arranged the competition around a midrange board and midrange GPU, and not the absolute best they offer.

I'll leave you to Google to find the answers, as I failed to write any of them down.

Spoilsport.

I could not agree with you more on that. It puts their hardware's capabilities into perspective and opens up that potential to the budget minded masses.

During the Q&A, I didn't think to write the responses down for some reason, and I wouldn't have even had the questions either if I didn't get the press deck given to me later. Sorry... I wish I had them.
