We had a peek at the most valuable submissions in a breakdown per league.

At the beginning of the new school for the students (and parents) there are lots of cups on the leaderboard. However all but one are silver or bronze, meaning we got close to a spectacular week ... but didn't quite get there. The only golden cup of the week comes from the United States and is obtained by the inevitable Splave from the United States. In the HWBOT x265 BenchmarK 1080p he nets a World Record with the Intel Core i9 7960X 16-core CPU. The CPU frequency is 5621 MHz; impressive frequency for an AVX-enabled benchmark. Congrats for the trophy this week, Splave!

The most used hardware components of Week 35 are the Core i7 7700K (13.0%), GeForce GTX 1080 Ti (10.5%) and the ASUS ROG Maximus IX Apex (3.3%). In total the community used 315 different CPUs, 227 different GPUs and 745 different motherboards.
