The Asus Ultimate Overclocking Show

posted on Mon, 06/08/2009 - 05:47

History was made last, May 23, 2009 at the SM City CEBU Activity Center as our very own local Cebuano enthusiasts locked up head to head in the first BIGGEST overclocking show done in the Philippines.
Two teams composed of four computer geeks from istorya .net (the local community forum for Cebu) fought on whom to become the best overclockers in Cebu. The teams were Cebu Xtream and Sugbo Elite.

The following categories were part of the criteria in the ratings:

    * Highest % Overclock
    * Highest CPU MHz
    * Highest BClock
    * Highest memory speed (any timing)
    * Highest 3DMark Vantage Score
    * Highest Super PI

OC Hardware:

Both teams were given the chance to compete each other with both the Intel and AMD setup. The processors used in the overclocking event included the latest Intel i7 920 (2.66GHZ) and the latest AMD Phenom II X4 945 (3.0GHz). The motherboards used were the Rampage II Gene (Intel) and the M4A79-T (AMD). Both of which are manufactured by ASUS including the GTX285 and HD4890 video cards used during the competition. The other hardwares used during the competition was provided by other well known brands such as SilverStone (DA750 PSU), OCZ (6GB DDR3 RAMS), Sunbeam & Tuniq (Core contact Freezer & TX-2), Logitech (keyboard & mouse), Western Digital (1TB HDD) & Microsoft for the Vista Business Edition 32 bit OS.
