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 RM1,000K 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.
