Gigabyte Intel P55 OC Challenge - The finals @ Bjorn3D

In case some of you don't know Gigabyte has been holding a friendly competition to see how can overclock a P55 the best.  It would seem that Bjorn3D was invited to attend the event and posted a small write up.

Overclocking must be the computer equivalent of Formular One or Nascar for cars. The goal is the same: push the car/computer to its absolute maximum and then a bit more. Just as in racing a lot of companies that create components for the cars, or in this case computers, want to be associated with the people involved and thus it is not strange to see companies like ASUS, Intel, AMD and Gigabyte spending lots of time and money on overclocking events.

We were invited to be a partner for one of these events, the Gigabyte Intel P55 OC Challenge, and then attend the event to find out who the best European P55-overclocker is (on a Gigabyte P55-motherboard).

These competitions are really good fun, yet sadly by invitation only.  How do you get invited you might ask?  There are several ways but it seems that HWBot.org is one of the major vehicles for making this happen.

As of this news post Team Ninjalane is ranked #17th out of the US based sites on HWBot.  The team is currently open to anyone so if you're interested in overclocking at drop by our Overclocking forum and join the HWBot Ninjalane Team.! 

Keep in mind that overclocking doesn't require LN2 or watercooling, in fact it can be very addicting and done on a variety of budgets.
