In Week 25 of 2017, we received 3430 benchmark results from 803 registered overclockers around the world. The majority of the submissions is coming from Rookie overclockers representing 60% 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.

With the X299 Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X processors finally coming to the retail market this week, we can expect records being broken shortly. Last week was another quiet week with only two golden cups in the leaderboard. The first golden cup comes from Dhenzjhen from Philippines with a GPUPI 1B World Record! This feat was achieved with no less than ten (10!) NVIDIA Tesla M40 graphics cards working together. The new top score is 1.458sec which is almost 300ms faster than Pijonson's 8x GTX 1080 Ti setup. Next up is Ale Belo from Italy with a Hardware First Place in the Radeon HD 4890 Aquamark3 leaderboard. To achieve this the Italian uses a Kaby Lake Core i7 7700K at 6750 MHz paied with a Radeon HD 4890 GPU clocked at 1280/1280 MHz. Congratulations to everyone making the leaderboard!

The most used hardware components of Week 25 are the Core i7 7700K (14.1%), GeForce GTX 1070 (11.9%) and the ROG Maximus IX Apex (3.6%).
