Last week, on June 3rd, GIGABYTE hosted the final worldwide event of the GIGABYTE Open Overclocking Championship 2009 competition. After countless country qualifiers and four regional finals, this event would be the climax, bringing together many of the world's very best overclockers for a one-day showdown event. The final was once again held in Taipei, Taiwan but this time during the Computex 2009 exhibition week, which definitely added another layer of excitement to the proceedings since most of the industry and media heavyweights were in town. As with the very first GO OC final event last year, Hardware Canucks was on hand to report and bring you an in-depth look at the competition like no one else can. So grab a drink, sit back, and see what it is like to compete in a world-class, high stakes overclocking competition. Ready? Let's get started! GO OC 2009 differed from last year's event most notably by its more aggressive country and regional competition, which assured that only the very best from each region would make it to the final event. Now obviously there were no undeserving competitors last year, but the sheer number of competitors (46!) was obviously a logistical nightmare. As a result, this year's competition was paired down to 12 individuals, forming 6 teams.
