The overclocking competition was refereed by AMD's chief overclocker Sami Mäkinen, and demanded a top CPUZ score, which we went after using AMD's own overlocking software, concentrating on gradually raising the speed of a single core and tweaking the voltages across the system. As the room heated up, and the ecosystem creaked, our attempt to move the system next to an open window was thwarted and we scrambled to a second place finish, with a CPUZ clocked score of 4.11GHz.

Thanks to Simon S. at AMD for the heads up. Check it out!
