Angela from Gigabyte sent us a heads-up about an overclocking contest they are running:

To actively engage hardcore PC enthusiasts in all its glory and express appreciation to those helping build GIGABYTE into the powerhouse it is today, GIGABYTE will be awarding over $12,000 in cash and prizes to its overclocking contest winners. Participants will be competing with hardcore PC enthusiasts on tweaking GIGABYTE Intel® P35 and Intel® X38 Series Motherboards to unleash exceptional performance of GIGABYTE Motherboard, adding a record-breaking score to Overclocking Hall of Fame. In addition to its over $12, 000 cash and prize, Hall of Fame Champion will be awarded with GIGABYTE Dream Machine GA-X48-DQ6 to experience the next generation Intel® X48 chipset right after its first debut. Overclocking video will be published at YouTube to show off one’s ability to overclock PC beyond its limit. The top 10 video winners will also take home GIGABYTE wind breakers. OMEGA pen and laptop protectors are also given out to add excitement to the competition.

We have reviewed Gigabyte X38 and P35 based motherboards, and they really are great overclockers.

So get out your thermal paste, heatsinks, roll up your sleeves, and enter the contest!

Personally I can't wait to see the results!
