CENS takes the crown at the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2025 Grand Final

Once again, the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2025 Grand Final took place at Computex 2025 in Taipei, and if you were anywhere near the G.SKILL booth at the event, you've probably never seen so much liquid nitrogen (LN2) in a single location. And after a series of extreme overclocking challenges, CENS from Germany claimed the crown as OC Champion alongside the cash prize of $10,000.

CENS is a legend in the OC community, and this latest win sees him take the G.SKILL OC World Cup for the second year in a row. In the finals, CENS faced off against overclockers from around the world, tackling a series of performance and stability benchmarks with an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor and ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Apex motherboard.

Plus, G.SKILL's high-performance 24GB DDR5 module, built with SK Hynix ICs, saw CENS achieve up to DDR5-10266 CL32 2x24GB with LN2 cooling. However, this wasn't the fastest speed achieved during the competition.

That honor goes to Seby, who achieved an impressive DDR5-12666 live on stage in front of a packed crowd. However, CENS' impressive focus on stability and avoiding cold-shock errors with incremental tweaks and voltage calibration saw him come out on top in the end.

Will CENS win the crown three years in a row? Time will tell. In the meantime, you can watch the livestream replay of the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2025 Grand Final below.
