This event is bringing together 9 of the world's best overclockers to compete with each other for cash and prizes. The subject of their ire? The new ASUS Maximus III Extreme and Rampage III Extreme motherboards; part of the Republic of Gamers product line from ASUS.



Three teams of 3 overclockers will be working throughout the day with a mix of hardware from event sponsors including:

The goods - how much of it will survive though?
