Some of the members of Overclockers.com (most of the top producers) decided to have a friendly little intra-team competition. We split up into 5 teams, each team with about 6-7 people, and began the race on April 11. Since then, all of the teams combined have completed over a million credits.

The race is to 250K, with the Cosmic Crunchers arriving at the goal today, thanks in part to Team Aqua, who has been pounding out nearly 6000 credits per day recently, putting him in the top 50 RAC in the world.

There's now a battle for second, as the race is not over until all teams cross the finish line at 250K. Here's the link to the stats:

Anyway, we've had fun doing the race and thought others would be interested.

WOW. 1,000,000 credits since April 11? Congrats!

I have never overclocked any of my PC's, but I'd like to learn how to do it and maybe experiment a bit. Do you have a link which explains all the basic stuff? Thanks a 1,000,000. ;)

There's a ton of info at the Overclockers.com discussion boards. Actually, I personally only have one of my 9 crunchers overclocked (don't tell those guys!). The forum members there are incredibly knowledgeable about overclocking and PC building in general.

Have fun!

[Just fixed the link]

I remember we use to do those kind of races with classic. Fun times all around.

(To overclock is maddness) That's why we do it!
