GIGABYTE wants you… to learn overclocking!
GIGABYTE Extreme Overclocking Workshop has just been announced. This time the LN2 circus is going to Brisvegas (Brisbane, Australia in case you aren’t familiar with the city nickname).
ATOMIC Magazine is taking on registrations right now for lucky 16 overclockers that get to learn how to OC from TeamAU. Rest of registrations that miss out will go into audience registrations 
.
GIGABYTE’s hosting an Extreme Overclocking Workshop in Brisbane – and it’s open to some lucky Atomicans! This is your chance to learn from the best in the LN2 business!
Do you want to learn the ins and outs of extreme, sub-zero overclocking? Do you want to learn from the best overclockers that Australia has to offer? Do you live in Brisbane?
Well, it’s soon going to be your lucky day!

As we mentioned yesterday, Dino, one of our in-house Overclocking gurus, was in attendance last weekend at the London International Technology Show in the UK. While we knew that Dino had been turning on the style doing some live audience overclocking, what we didn’t know until a few hours ago is that, on Sunday he actually managed to get perilously close to some world records, hitting 8150MHz on LN2 using our GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD7 board!

Ok, so the world record is slightly higher, but those guys had the pick of a big bunch CPU-wise, plus they were using Liquid Helium (theoretical low temp of -269 °C), not Liquid Nitrogen (-196 °C). Huge kudos to Dino for his efforts during a live public show. This puts Dino 9th in the world for CPU frequency ranking, 3rd for FX-81350 ranking. Outstanding work.

GIGABYTE X79A-OC (er i mean UD7), take a seat first it’s a cracker :D
Sin Hardware just posted some shots of the latest GIGABYTE X79 gear from IDF’s first day today. Pics speak a thousand words but Sin added a few more:
The X79A-OC we are told was built to be the X79A-OC, but as many have heard there will be no more boards named the OC board. As you can obviously see the board carries the same color coordination, as well as the same features, and a few more such as the DIP switches, which we don’t know what they do. We can also see that the socket is huge, and the space for a VRM is small, but GIGABYTE doubled up the phases on top of each other, the second set the DrMOS are underneath the board. We can also see that on the UD7 and the Assassin 2, that DrMOS are used for peripheral VRMs, such as the DDR voltage and uncore, and even CPU PLL.
The UD7 has an Intel NIC, high current (probably 40-50A) inductors, as well as all tantalum capacitors. Hald the VRM is underneath as well.We see a ton of output capacitors, half are also on the bottom.
UD7 is 20+2 phases and the G1 Assassin 2 is 8+1 we believe.
The heatsinks on the Assassin 2 is said to be a bit different from the final version, but the one on the UD7 is probably going to stay the same. One long heatpipe connects the VRM heatsink to the PCH heatsink. They look pretty fancy.
X79A-UD5 also looking interesting 
G1 Sniper2 video guide to high speed RAM bios setup!
Hey guys,
I had a quick play with GIGABYTE G1 SNIPER2 motherboard today with 3 different high speed RAM kits from Kingston, G.Skill & Corsair to show you how to quickly get them up and running at optimal settings.
I’ve done a couple of different videos with RAM setups (with 2 and 4 stick setups)
4GB G.Skill Ripjaw Blue 2133MHz kit
4GB and 8GB Kingston HyperX 2133MHz kit KHX2133C9BD3T1K2/4GX
8GB and 16GB Corsair GTX7 2400MHz kit

Hardware Leaks e-mag is born and it gets busy with a X58A-OC vs Rampage 3 Extreme battle!
Jonathon Fitzgerald from TeamAU, also known as “2for40” Uncle Fester, decided it was time to make a new online magazine called Hardware Leaks to rival the well established The Overclocker it seems. It’s great to see another Australian serve up a nice read for us extreme overclockers. The Overclocker, for the uninformed, was originally formed by a couple of Aussies, Nick Ross and Josh Collins and taken over by Neo Sibeko from South Africa a while ago. Well done to both mags, keep them coming boys!
“SERVING UP HARDWARE AT -196C” << I like!
It looks like a healthy battle for extreme overclocking readership is about to get under way just like an epic battle between GIGABYTE X58A-OC vs ASUS Rampage 3 Extreme, “last hurrah for overclockers of the X58 platform” according to the author of the article in the first issue of the mag.
