Last week we received 3458 benchmark results from 856 registered overclockers around the world. The majority of the submissions is coming from Rookie overclockers representing 58% of the active community. They were responsible for 39% 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 Canadian overclocker Marc0053 who joins the rest of the 742-gang in the XTU 2xCPU category. It's been a good month for Marc0053 as he also qualified for the World Championship by winning the World Series in Canada. For the Elite category we find Worldwide #! Dancop from Germany topping the tables with a Global First Place in the Geekbench3 Multi Core 4xCPU category, outscoring Rauf who took the Global First Place last month. Moving down the ladder we find P5ych0 from Germany as the best of the Apprentice League. We finish up with Digg_de from Germany, DognaOCer from Japan and Creapure from United Kingdom scoring top of their class in various XTU categories.

A special shout out goes to Minicoopers from Germany for scoring gold in the Hardware rankings this week!
