UPDATED INFORMATION

By popular demand, I offer the details for the AMD Black Ops Event

First, The Always Entertaining & Enlightening Event Disclaimer

Overclocking and extreme cooling is certain to void your hardware warranties and could cause serious damage to your PC hardware. We destroy motherboards, processors, and graphics cards at an alarming rate doing it. Liquid Helium and Liquid Nitrogen are incredibly dangerous in untrained hands and among some of the coldest substances in the universe. You are watching some of the most experienced and methodical overclockers in the world and you should not attempt any of what you see without major safety precautions and seriously thinking about the potential consequences of your actions.

Thank you Dolk for the heads up!

There's kind of a play-by-play in this thread starting with post #20. Basic highlights in post #25, though I may have missed a few things. Keeping track of six teams is not easy.

Also, Team Finland, the team that took the 7 GHz record last year in Las Vegas with a Phenom II, did not participate. They'll give it their best this coming Sunday around noon CDT but it may be as late as 2:00 PM CDT - time is not confirmed as yet. Same link as yesterday: http://www.AMDBlackOps.com
