Who's up for some GIGABYTE GeekRap Competition?
Yes, you've read that right, Overclockers Australia forum is hosting an overclocking competition with a bit of geek rap in the mix as well! We've seen these before and they were hilarious, ended up in some seriously funny (and a little foul) roasting rap sessions between OCers.
Here is a link to the forum for those interested: http://forums.overclockers.com.au/showthread.php?t=1226743

GIGABYTE dominates X299 platform, XTU world record (5 WRs & 27 global first places)
GIGABYTE X299 platform is looking incredibly strong with 5 World Records broken as well as 27 Global First Places! Sofos recently posted the Big Mac of all records, XTU World Record, using Intel Core i9 7900X and a GIGABYTE X299 board.
GIGABYTE is setting the bar very high for its competitors with a dominant five world records and twenty seven global first places on GIGABYTE X299 platform well over a month from original platform launch. This means that the scores have reached a peak and by this time we get to see the scores solidify and gives us an opportunity to see who's got the best platform available on the market.
Enthusiasts worldwide who expect the best performance are now pushing the X299 platform to the max and while overclocking isn't for everyone, the records do show GIGABYTE X299 motherboards are leading the way and are best choice of hardware to power your next overclocking, gaming, video editing, VR and any other high performance PC you dream of!
The records set on the new platform are both 2D and 3D in nature. The 3D scores have all been set with Intel Core i7 7740X, while the global first places are 3D based with multi-threaded performance CPUs in 6 Core (Core i7 7800X) 8 core (Core i7 7820X) and 10 core categories (Core i9 7900X).
XTU WORLD RECORD FROM SOFOS1990!

[HWBOT] Sofos1990 (Greece) Takes Down 7 Global First Place Scores with Intel Skylake-X
HWBOT Article!
It looks like Greek overclocker Sofos1990 has been getting deeply acquainted with Intel’s latest Skylake-X processor series. Using a Core i7 7820X and a Core i7 7800X he managed to claim seven Global First Placed scores in the octa-core and hexa-core rankings, all within the space of just a day or so. Good going. Let’s take a look at the scores.
In the GPUPI for CPU 1B rankings Sofos managed to break the record score for an octa-core CPU, completing a run in just 2min 8sec 953ms using a Core i7 7820X clocked at 5.5GHz (+ 52.7%) with DDR4 configured at 1,800MHz (13-13-13-28). The rig used a GIGABYTE X299 SOC Champion motherboard and its X9c revision BIOS.
He used the same configuration to attack the wPrime benchmark. In wPrime 32M he finished a run in just 1sec 797ms while in the wPrime 1024M preset he scored 52sec 853ms – both are records scores for an octa-core chip. Using the same rig Sofos managed to also break the Global First Placed score in HWBOT Prime with a score of 10,779.23 pps. In this case the Core i7 7820X was pushed even further to hit 5.9GHz, a massive +63.89% beyond stock settings.
Turning now to the six-core Core i7 7800X processor we have three more Global First Place scores. Sofos managed a score of 9,429.56 pps in the HWBOT Prime benchmark with the Skylake-X chip pushed to 5.5GHz (+57.14%), also using a X299 SOC Champion motherboard. Using the same setup he also took down two wPrime GFPs. In wPrime 32M he managed a run of just 2sec 281mswhile in the wPrime 1024M he completed a run in 1min 10sec 890ms – both scores are the fastest ever using a six core chip.
Finally we should probably also mention that Sofos currently holds the record for he highest CPU frequency on an Intel Core i7 7820X, hitting a very tasty 6,400.08MHz which is exactly +77.78% beyond stock.
With the points earned from this session Sofos1990 now sits in 16th place in the overall HWBOT league rankings with a points haul of 1,780.8 points. You can find all the scores mentioned in this article in the links above. You can also check out the Sofos1990 profile page here.
