Chimp Challenge 2009

History

In 2006, the Chimp Challenge was created. This initial race was between the folding teams of Overclockers.com and MaximumPC. Although a close race at many points, Maximum PC triumphed in the end. A graph of this battle to 500,000 points is availiable here.

The next race in 2007 brought together the same teams as before. Each side motivated to beat the other. MaximumPC didn't want to lose their title. But the Overclockers.com team was more motivated and won in the epic race to 1,000,000 points. A graph of the race is availiable here.

2008 brought two additional teams to the race. [H]ardOCP and OCAU joined the battle with Overclockers.com and MaximumPC. The four-way brawl was a hard fought match but in the end MaximumPC emerged victorious and passed the 5,000,000 point finish line first. The graph of this battle can be seen here.

Eight teams competed in the 2009 Chimp Challenge: Overclockers.com, MaximumPC, [H]ardForum, Overclockers Australia, EVGA, Overclock.net, TSC! Russia, and CustomPC. Overclock.net jumped out of the gate at full throttle and smoked all the other teams to win the jaded monkey. A graph will be provided when all the teams have crossed the finish line.
