G.SKILL OC World Cup 2024 at Computex.

Nine finalists from this online stage will be invited to compete live at Computex, where they'll use lots of LN2 to earn their share of the $40,000 USD prize pool. The OC World Cup 2025 Champion will take home $10,000 USD in prize money - alongside the crown of being the world's best overclocker.

The OC World Cup 2025 competition includes five stages: Memory Frequency for DDR5, 7-Zip, PYPrime, SuperPi, and y-cruncher. HWBOT has the full details on the various stages and rules. The hardware requirements for competitors are that they use Intel LGA1700/1851 CPUs and G.Skill DDR5 memory - strictly retail components.

All nine online qualifiers will receive G.SKILL's Trident Z5 DDR5-8000 CL38-48-48-128 1.35V 48GB (2x24GB) memory, with three lucky draw participants set to receive the same high-performance DDR5 kit.

Computex is always one of the biggest tech events of the year, and one of the highlights is checking out G.SKILL's massive OC stage and watching the world's best overclockers do their thing. Last year, CENS from Germany won the title of OC Champion, so it will be interesting to see if they'll be back this year to defend their crown.
