Week 43 was again filled with golden cups. First up is K|ngp|n (US) beating his own World Record in 3DMark Fire Strike. With four NVIDIA Titan X Pascal GPUs clocked at 2200/2900 MHz and combined with a Core i7 6950X at 5250 MHz (23 MHz higher than last week), he's almost 1200 points ahead of 2nd place Elmor. Bullant from Australia also scores a golden cup. He takes first place in the 3DMark06 2x GeForce GTX 580 category. His two cards are clocked at a relatively relax 949/1192 but paired with a 6.2 GHz Core i7 6700K he outscores fellow countrymen TeamAU. In the hardware rankings we find Luumi from Finland for the second week in a row on the leaderboard. This time the Finnish overclocker scored a golden cup for setting the highest frequency with a Core 2 Quad Q6600. With 5183.22 MHz he does exactly 0.09 MHz better than runner up Sale_quiche from France!
