You think geeks don’t join competitions? You think geeks don’t feel the need for speed? You think geeks don’t wanna race? Think again.
A new competition is emerging in the hardware technology scene. Just like in drag racing, speed is the goal. Also, like in drag racing, they tweak hardware to achieve that goal.
The difference between this geeky competition and drag racing is that the hardware tweaked in the former consists of computer components instead of a Civic’s intake and exhaust ports, valves and their timings. Also, the aim is getting higher benchmark scores or finishing with the fastest time instead of making a 10-second lightweight rocket of a car.
One such competition is the Gigabyte Open Overclocking Competition. The North American Final is hosted in California and the World Championship, in Taipei, Taiwan.
Needless to say, there are lots of mouth-watering hardware goodies to win in addition to a round trip ticket to Taipei, Taiwan. So, gentlemen, start your systems!
