 Linus Tech Tips coverage of Computex 2013 is powered by Western Digital. Our trusted gaming gear partner is Corsair Vengeance, and our trusted retail partner is NCIX.com. Alright guys, I'm here at the Corsair Intel overclocking event with George, and just maybe tell us what's going on with the leaderboard here. Alright, well we got a leaderboard that's going to be tracking the guys who set the various different records or try and break the record for the day. So at the top of it, the number one prize is SuperPi 32M, all the way down to stuff like 3DMark, first Fire Strike. The ASUS team here with Andre and Tiel actually just set our personal daily record on the CPU overclock. They had 6.75 so far, and they got the SuperPi 1M number, which is a $1000 reward, they got that down to 5.421, which is our current fastest speed. But you know, the event's been going on for less than an hour, so we expect maybe some guys could break that number, maybe these guys will break that number in a little bit. So we're pretty excited. These guys are dumping liquid nitrogen all over the place. They're putting Vaseline on motherboards and rubbing shop towels on things. This is dangerous and freaky stuff, and these guys are professionals, I wouldn't practice this at home. And they were wondering at what, negative 135? Yeah, they were at negative 134 degrees Celsius. So that's insane. So I've joined the rest of the team at the overclocking event, and George, what is this? This is the leaderboard that shows who's currently in the lead of each specific score we're doing. We're given 11 different prizes away today, starting at $1000 and going up to $5000 for the prize, total of $20,000 in prize money. The highest prize, the grand prize, is the SuperPi 32M, which is to see how fast the system can run a 32 million SuperPi calculation. That's a $5000 prize. Now the guys up there, 8PAC, lead that right below them on the Haswell memory frequency where they're at 3782, which is almost 3800 megahertz on the memory frequency. It was way beyond Ivy Bridge, which was around 33, 34. So those guys knocked that out of the park. And then underneath that, we're at 6.9 gigahertz on the processor overclocking record too. So those are the top three records. Then underneath that, you can see that Andre and team ASUS there have basically dominated all the other stuff, SuperPi 1 million, the calculation, Pi Fast, WPrime 32, all that stuff. So tell me about the strategy. Why is it that Andre and team ASUS seem to be going after everything but the big prize pools up there? What is the deal? There were some stipulations in terms of what hardware you could bring or what you couldn't bring. And what's their strategy? I think, I mean, you'd have to ask them specifically for their strategy. My guess is that they looked at it and said, look, we know we can knock this one, we can knock this one, we can knock this one. And I said, it makes more sense to take awards four through nine than to take only one, two, and three. There's a lot of competition. There still is a lot of competition going on right now. We got about 20 minutes left for the first and second and third spots. I think they said, look, I don't think there's going to be as many guys fighting here. We're going to go full bore for it. And they hit some really impressive numbers. The Pi Fast number, 9.83, is really close to a world record on day one of the Haswell launch. I mean, that's incredible. This is a year and a half of stuff from Ivy Bridge, and these guys are almost breaking it in one day. So Haswell's a really impressive launch already. Well, that's fantastic. I mean, so I don't believe everything you heard about Haswell overclocking. So we're going to be following this up with a little bit more coverage once it's time to actually present the awards. I had something else I wanted to talk to George about because really these overclocking events, it takes a long time to dial in an overclock. You got to do some testing on it every time. You change any freaking thing. But what tends to happen is we're still 20 minutes from the end. This is where things get really exciting. Tell me about sandbagging. Sandbagging is basically you go and you put up a number that's OK, and other guys are like, well, whatever, that's fine. And a lot of guys wait till the very end to throw their numbers up because they kind of want to see what the other guys are really doing. So what you're going to see here, like for example, a lot of the guys waited till the end to do the 3D stuff, the bottom ones, the benchmark for 3DMark and Aquamark and stuff like that. So I'm going to guess that those bottom four benchmarks, you're going to see those change like every five minutes from here to the end of the competition. And I think a lot of guys did wait to hit their best possible video card numbers because in the open category where they're allowed to bring whatever graphics card they want, they already know what they're capable of doing. They got their liquid nitrogen. They're ready to go. They know they can do it at home. So if they see the number here that they're actually able to beat, they're not going to beat it until they have to. If they can beat it with two minutes left, that doesn't give their competition much time to beat them. Very, very exciting. So back with awards actually this time. Thanks again, George. No problem. All right. So how many times? Thanks, George. Not a problem, actually. Finally, award ceremony time here, guys. I'm just going to see if I can sort of cheat and just kind of chuck my mic in here and see if that works. So I haven't asked anyone's permission to do this. I'm just going to kind of sneak over here, just kind of subtly. Okay, so here we go. There are two competitions today. One was, the first was what we called the open competition where there were eight benchmarks that everybody could run with the hardware that they brought. And that was a great opportunity to see what we were doing. So I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and get started. And then we're going to get started. So I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and get started. So I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and get started. So I'm going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and go ahead and come out here... I could take a couple of them if you want. So they actually need a crew of ladies to carry all of their trophies for them. So congratulations to these guys. So it's very impressive winning all those benchmarks. Finally, the grand prize, which is sort of a combination of CPU and memory frequency, is the SuperPi score. And the winners of SuperPi at 4 minutes, 49.344 seconds are the MatePak and Zolio. And I'd like to see someone try and take that check from the MatePak. Well, I hope you guys have enjoyed the Corsair overclocking event here at Computex.
