Last week we received 4138 benchmark results from 828 registered overclockers around the world. The majority of the submissions is coming from Rookie overclockers representing 56% of the active community. They were responsible for 37% of the submissions. We had a peek at the most valuable submissions in a breakdown per league.

The Most Valuable Submission is calculated by the sum of a submissions's World Record, Global, and Hardware points. The Top Hardware Points is taking into account only the Hardware Points of a submission.

The most valuable submission of the week comes from Splave and L0ud_sil3nc3 (United States) who ... yea, XTU 742 points. Intel, just give us that Core i3 -K so we're done with this. In the Extreme category we find Rauf from Sweden topping the tables with a Global First Place in the Geekbench3 Multi Core 4xCPU category with a 6560 MHz Core i7 6700K. On the extreme side of the spectrum a notable mention goes out to Rbuass for his Global First Place in Catzilla 1440P 1xGPU. Moving down the ladder we find George.kokovinis from Greece scoring close to the podium in the Catzilla 1440p 4xGPU category. For the Apprentice League we find P5ych0 from Germany, Xender from Canada and Alxdeja from Spain scoring top of their class in various XTU categories.

A special shout out goes to FireKillerGR from Greece and Ikki from Japan for being the top of their class in the Hardware rankings this week!
