The Hardware
Without great hardware, you won’t be able to get great overclocking results. But thanks to the sponsors of GOOC 2010, which includes ADATA, Intel, Seagate and Envision … the Contestants were able to use only the best hardware to achieve the best scores. Here’s the hardware list the overclockers used …
- Gigabyte GA-X58A UD7 Motherboard
- Intel Core i7 – 980X Extreme Processor
- Adata XPG Plus v2 Series DDR3-2200 6Gb Kit
- Seagate Barracuda XT 500Gb SSD
- Gigabyte Odin Pro 1200W PSU
Contestant’s Workbench
You have to see it to believe it. The contestant’s workbench area isn’t what, you or I would call …. organised 😉 But’s all part of the fun of overclocking. I was feeling nervous just watching these guys setting up the equipment, but I must give them credit for going through the whole competition without breaking a sweat!!
