GIGABYTE has announced the conclusion of its latest overclocking contest at HWBOT.org, “Pi is Returned”. All HWBOT members were invited to pit their overclocking skills against each other using the classic SuperPi benchmark. Several cash prizes totalling $5,000 were on offer as well as GIGABYTE and AMD hardware. In addition to cash prizes for the first and second place finishes, “Pi is Returned” also offered $500 for world record-breaking submissions for each stage.
HiCookie, Chief Overclocking Evangelist, GIGABYTE Motherboard Business Unit, said, It is really positive to see so many AMD platform world records being broken on GIGABYTE motherboards throughout this contest. From the first day, until a climactic finish last weekend, the ‘Pi is Returned’ contest proved to be a big hit with HWBOT members and AMD overclocking enthusiasts, and an excellent showcase for the performance of our AMD platform motherboards.
The GIGABYTE “Pi is Returned” contest was open to all the HWBOT members, which ended on September 16, 2013.
