G.Skill Overclocking World Cup at Computex 2014: $10,000 for #1

Extreme overclocking using LN2 (Liquid Nitrogen) to get the best scores possible has had a recent infusion of interest from PC component vendors. In the past there were some minor sponsored events, or there would be a tie-in with a major product release. However that changed fairly significantly last year with over 50 of the top overclockers descending on Taipei for Computex 2013 for a variety of vendor sponsored events. 2014 just kicked it up a notch, and G.Skill was at the forefront.

For the past two years, G.Skill has run their World Record Stage, inviting the employed or sponsored motherboard manufacturer overclockers to break records using G.Skill’s memory live at Computex. For 2014, G.Skill added in another element: the First Annual Overclocking World Cup.
