In Week 49 of 2016, we received 4189 benchmark results from 1030 registered overclockers around the world. The majority of the submissions is coming from Rookie overclockers representing 65% of the active community. They were responsible for 38% of the submissions. We had a peek at the most valuable submissions in a breakdown per league.

The overclocking pace is picking up after two slow weeks with five golden cups in the leaderboard. Dancop took down the 3DMark03 World Record with NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal at 2265/3000 MHz. He also scored a Global First Place in the Cinebench R15 10xCPU with a Core i7 6950X clocked at 5292 MHz. In the hardware rankings we find the usual suspect [MSI] OGS from Greece. They score a golden cup in the AMD Radeon HD 5850 category with the card clocked at 1300/1330 MHz. The AMD VGA is paired with an Intel Core i5 6600K clocked at 6300 MHz. We also find True Monkey from Germany on the leaderboard. He grabs first place in the Core i5 3470 XTU category. Last but not least we also see Poparamiro pop up. His GeForce GTX 470 at 1135/1140 MHz gives enough fire power to place top spot in the 3DMark03 ranking. Congratulations to everyone who made it on the leaderboard this week!
