Dennis Garcia and Darren McCain return with their latest Hardware Asylum podcast. In podcast #76a there’s plenty of discussion about Overclocking largely within the context of Computex 2017 where Intel launched their new Core-X series of processors and the recent Rookie Rumble contests on HWBOT which have seen US Rookie overclocker DeanoMax take wins in the last three contests. Enjoy!

Intel X299 Motherboards - X-Series Extreme Overclocking - Computex is a great show and lately many mfgs have used the popular show in Taiwan to launch new products. Some of those products are made available while others will be released later that summer. It doesn’t matter what gets released just that something is announced so to build excitement. The hot item this year was the new Intel Core X-Series and associated X299 chipset. This announcement allowed motherboard makers to release their 2017 motherboard designs and much to my surprise there is a huge number dedicated to overclocking.

Rookie Rumble - Congratulations to DeanoMax for winning three Rookie Rumbles in a row! That has to be some kind of record. On a related note, Dennis (Redmax) really needs to dust off the copper and get back to clockin’.
