There were 5 teams in total: Benchtec / YoYoTech / DarkCat / Midland Computers / Ben

Welcome speech by Rui  Grin


Waiting for the battle to begin: YoYoTech and Benchtec


Ben


Preparations to competition


Start of assembly: YoYoTech, Benchtec and Ben


DarkCat and Midland Computers


Connecting the cables - see the hammer Shocked on the table, just in case  Wink


The race began - looking for the best BIOS settings  Huh



YoYoTech was using water cooling



One more MHz please!


Special attention during filling the flasks with Liquid Nitrogene


Media and audience gathered



Benchtec was using Liquid Nitrogene (LN2) for CPU cooling




Temperature dropped slowly



LN2 boiling in cooper CPU pot (heatsink)


See what happens when LN2 is poured into water


The winner was Philip from Midland Computers, our congratulations! He will go to Prague in April to represent UK during European GOOC competitions. MD of Gigabyte UK  John Hung gratulates Philip Brown.


And finally all participarts with some of Gigabyte staff


All participants received awards including GA-EX58-UD4P motherboard, Kingston DDR3 memory kits, Enermax power supply, Wester Digital HDD and many other gadgets

Excellent event - thx to everyone that joined.  Grin

We had some good scores, even when using AIR.
This must be down to the quality build of the Gigabyte X58 boards - especially the 2oz Copper  Tongue

Serious, thx for the support.

If Benchtec had submitted the 3DM06 result to HWB, it would have been bronze for the GTX260-216! The GPUs overclock like crazy!

Thanks again for inviting us! Hope to be at next years event- maybe even see the Gigabyte staff at another event before then?

Cheesy

Cheers!

Nice work 3rd! Given the time limit too I am sure you could have done better! I just got my UD4P and PSU etc dropped off today as I was on my moped Tongue

That was alot of fun, hope to do it again once I have tried LN2 / dice

Is anyone using the Ghost mouse they got? I think it is much smoother than the G5 I had, and obviously more dpi Tongue

Has is been released yet? I am not using the mouse pad at the moment (simply to big for my desk!!!) but it has a better resolution than my old gaming mouse and it handles games better than the old one Smiley
