GIGABYTE Announces GO OC 2010 Worldwide Final

Anyone who has been around overclocking knows a little something about mfg sponsored overclocking competitions.  Most of the time they are small regional events designed to highlight a select crowd and maybe sell some product.  That is not the case with Gigaybe.  In fact Gigabyte hosts one of the largest competitions in the industry with several regional finals held in 5 countries with contestants from 33 countries competing for a spot in the finals held in Taipei Taiwan.

Well the votes are in and the hard work has paid off for the regional winners, come September 25th one of them will be crowned the grand champion.

Taipei, Taiwan, August 24, 2010 - GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co., Ltd, a leading manufacturer of motherboards, graphics cards and computing hardware solutions today proudly announced the 3rd annual GO OC (GIGABYTE Open Overclocking Championship) is soon to get underway. Contestants from over 33 countries have competed in the local and then regional finals which were held in Indonesia, China, Mexico, Spain and USA from June to August. The victors of the regional events will meet on the battlefield in Taipei, Taiwan at the Hua-Shan Creative Park (East 3 Hall) on Saturday, September 25th, 2010.

Sadly we were not invited to cover the event, however much like a golf or football game the scores will be posted for all to see and we will be watching the reports closely.

You'll find the full press release in the forums

Maybe next year someone from Team Ninjalane will get invited to attend, only time and clock cycles will tell.
