PC gamers like to show off a bit every now and then (although you would never say so), and German overclocker Dancop is no exception.<\/p>\n

In partnership with German team mate BenchBros, they won the the recent\u00a0ASUS Open Overclocking Cup 2014 final in Moscow, Russia – achieving a world record in the process.<\/p>\n

The new Catzilla 1440p record stands at 30432 marks, and was achieved with the Master Race rig detailed in the table below. The previous record stood at 30109 marks, achieved with an Asus Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard and R9 290X.<\/p>\n
