See this isn't remotely fair, as it's all luck as to how far the board and CPU you can get will overclock.

And what if you don't have the cash to get the needed graphics hardware to stand a chance at the benchmark.

I know I'm ranting now, but why are they judging a motherboard overclocking competition with a graphics benchmark?!?!

you'd think all they would use is calculate the percent of OC, and use Sisoft Sandra to give each OC a score(1 to 100)
