It was touted to be a day full of thrills, spills and explosive (no pun intended) action, but in reality, the 2nd edition of the Advanced Overclocking Championship was nothing more than a drab affair that only managed to pull in a crowd that mainly consisted of retirees and high school truants.
Team China trampled over the competition by outscoring all other contestants in benchmarking tests like Super Pi and 3D Mark, while Team Malaysia will be going home without a single point. It's unfortunate for the Malaysian duo, but there have been calls throughout the AOCC camp that attribute Team China's success to their superior chip, rather than their overclocking skills.
In a couple of hours, we'll be witnessing an attempt to break the world record for overclocking in a collaborative effort among the teams as well as the prize giving ceremony, so as usual, stay tuned.
On a side note, the event as a whole left a sour taste in the mouth of the global media contingent. Widely ignored by the organizers, we were ferried to the venue and left to fend for ourselves in the foreign city of Hong Kong. Deprived of basic necessities like food, seats in the venue and information from the media chaperons (who for most of the afternoon went missing), members of the media contingent were spotted leaving the event venue even before the event came to an end.
More event pictures after the jump.
