After getting the XTU software running on the multitude of setups, the scores started to roll in. Typical for a Live Event, initially the pace is fast, to afterwards steadily slow down. In the end the urge to set a specific score becomes higher than to submit just a score.

Since the pro teams brought their own gear only the by Intel provided processors had to be maxed. These manufacturer sponsored teams have been testing since weeks to enhance the efficiency of their hardware. Gigabyte even designed a brand new Z97X-SOC Force LN2 motherboard, just for the memory clocking stage. No matter how but these manufacturers will try anything to beat their competitors. Earlier that week Team Gigabyte already set a new memory frequency record at a blistering 4500MHz, to be upped a notch higher to 4560MHz

MC Trouffman from OverClocking.TV was on duty to entertain and inform the crowd during the event. An easy task for our super Frenchie as this is what he does at nearly each OCing event. The integration of Twitch  allows for fast replies to the posed questions.

Team Gigabyte setup was completely frozen near the end, even the fans stopped working on the Cooler Master Nepton AIO unit

Devils Canyon anyone ? As you can see some competitors delidded their sample to test if they could go higher in frequency. This allowed Team MSI to grab the top spot for CPU frequency btw... soldered IHS, nope no way lads...
