Welcome to The Gigabyte Bearlake Overclocking Challenge thread.

(STARTs 1st June ~ 30th June 2007 ENDs)

Come and challenge one another and stand a chance to win RM1,000 cash & attractive Gigabyte Products!!..



Winners arent determined by the highest scores BUT their overclocking ability
(difference between default and overclocked score)

Judges will not pay attention to OC scores that are due to their graphic card being OC.

Hardware used for the default and OC benchmarking must be the same. Modified hardware, other than OC via software or hardware enhancements, will be disqualified.

Participants please take note*

IF there's a tremendous respond from this event, we will create 2 category

one will be the Expert and Novice Category.

Novice:- Air Cooling ONLY

Expert:- Everything else(Water cooling, Freon, Liquid Nitrogen)

There's no limit on how you want to overclock your system, as long as you use any GIGABYTE P35 Motherboard. (YES, that means Freon Cooling is possible too ! )
PS: the insane OCers are most welcome to use Liquid Nitrogen, IF u can find any. BUT we shall not be responsible or liable in anyway.

Why not separate category for phase,water and air cooling? Sure people have more money to afford phase cooling win.

the last day to submit 30th June. after that, we will not entertain any more reply and the judges will finalise on the scores.

so once again, the category will be split into 2 section, Novice & Expert if the turn out is overwhemling.
and the prizes will be allocated by the Judges

aiyaa.. tot any system can enter the competition

eheh.. sorry, only P35 users can participate

ehehe okiee dokiee.. as long as its the P35 Chipset series, u can go ahead n OC

YES you can participate in both.

In the event if we do create the Expert Category due to overwhelming responce from the experts, u will be able to enter both categories, however, you can ONLY win 1 category.

and again, if only the responce is good, we will have 2 categories:- Expert & Novice category.
