PRESENTS
5t h ANNIVERSARY
OC L A B CEL EBR AT ION
I
n late 2018, GALAX celebrated the
5th anniversary of their OC Lab in
Shenzhen China. To this celebration
a number of prolific overclockers were
invited where they would spend the
days bringing out the best in GALAX
hardware not only through breaking
personal and competitive overclocking
records, but more importantly
sharing a hobby among other
likeminded individuals and friends.
Naturally such events bring
together some great talent and
this 5th year anniversary was no
different. Overclockers in attendance
included Hong Kong natives Kai
Wong, Yeong Tak Kin, rsannino of Italy,
OC_windforce and littleboy of korea,
Micka Shu & Luning Dian of China and
of course Fred Yama and Duck from
Japan. Naturally, all this would not be
possible without Mad Tse, who advises
and consults on all things overclocking
related within GALAX. Throughout
the week, impressive scores would
be generated, including a plethora
of new single card 3D records.
Noteworthy performance milestones
included rsannino’s 18,991 points in
3DMark Time spy – achieved with
a high GPU frequency of 2,415MHz.
That however, was only the beginning
as he would go on to improve this
by recording a blistering 19,657
points with an Intel Core i9 7980XE
CPU at 5,8GHz, together with a
2,520MHz GPU clock and 17,120MT/s
(2140MHz SDR) GPU memory clock.
A world record until another GALAX
GeForce RTX 2080Ti HOF OC Lab
Edition would best this at GOC 2018
just a couple of months later.
With such a capable setup, he would

then go on to break the Time Spy
Extreme world record as well with
9,507 points with a slightly lower GPU
clock of 2,490MHz and a CPU clock
of 5,500MHz. Another score which
would stand unchallenged until an
even better sample of the GALAX
GeForce RTX 2080Ti HOF OC Lab
Edition would surface at GOC 2018
with a much higher GPU clock.
As one would suspect, if a setup
is capable of these two taxing
benchmarks, then it is certainly
capable of massive numbers in
the slightly older, lighter yet still
relevant 3DMark Fire strike where
he would set a new single card
record with a score of 40,693 points,
a record which still stands today.
Not to be outdone, renowned Korean
overclockers OC_windforce and
littleboy went about setting massive
scores using not one but two GALAX
