What Atomic did on a cold, quick Friday night...

The results – and photos – of the Gigabyte Overclocking Masters competition in Sydney are in!

On Friday the 29th of August, Atomic hosted the Australian finals of the GIGABYTE Overclocking Masters series. Competing were Dino and Kayl, no strangers to the event, and New Zealander Deanzo. Drinks and good times were had by all.

When everybody had settled in, we got the the first round: SuperPi8M, which was won by Deanzo. More drinks and good times were had by all.

The second round, this time of 3Dmark06, was won by Dino.

Yet more drinks and good times continued to be had by all, and were amplified with the arrival of KISS! Well, people dressed up as Kiss, but it was all very awesome nonetheless. Never let it be said that we don't know how to put on a great night.

This brought us to the tiebreaker: SuperPi4M.

And the winner? Deanzo, who is now being flown to Taipei for the global GIGABYTE Open Overclocking Championship. He gets to take a teammate of his choice with him to compete, and being the good sport that he is picked runner up Dino to accompany him.

It was a great night, and we'd like to thank GIGABYTE and everyone who attended to make the night the roaring success that it was.

The photo gallery starts here, and continues on the next few pages.
