GIGABYTE is pleased to announce that round one of the Beat Me If You Dare graphics overclocking competition has come to an end on October 31st. GIGABYTE would like to extend our congratulations to top 3 winners, who whose prizes will be doubled since they were successful in beating the top scores benchmarked by the GIGABYTE in-house OC team. Round One Winners: First place: Hipro5 from Greece Second place: Aristidis & Stelios from Greece Third place: James Trevaskis from Australia Fourth place: Mike Graf from U.S.A. Fifth place: Jon Sandström from Sweden In the meantime, GIGABYTE would like apologize to all contestants for the score uploading issues and incorrect countdown timer on the Beat Me If You Dare event website. Due to server uploading issues, GIGABYTE allowed users to upload their submissions on the event website, XtremeSystems forum as well as by email. As several users reported the countdown clock being inaccurate in their region, we also accepted valid scores passed the official cutoff time. While having to make a judgment call in a competition is never an ideal outcome, we felt it necessary to include valid scores submitted in good faith. We thank all the contestants for their understanding and promise a smoother round two.
