G.SKILL International Enterprise Co., Ltd., the world's leading manufacturer of extreme performance memory and gaming peripherals, is excited to announce the 6th Annual OC World Cup 2019. The online qualifier competition stage will be held from March 13, 2019 until April 16, 2019 on hwbot.org. The top 9 winners of the online qualifier will be qualified to join the live competition at the G.SKILL booth during Computex 2019 week from May 29th to 31st and compete for a chunk of the $25,000 USD cash prize pool.

With the participation of top overclockers from around the world and carefully designed rules, G.SKILL OC World Cup is considered as one of the most challenging overclocking competition by professional overclockers. The G.SKILL OC World Cup consists of three rounds: Online Qualifier, Live Qualifier, and Grand Final. The top 9 winners of the Online Qualifier will receive eligibility to enter the Live Qualifier stage during Computex 2019 and demonstrate their finest LN2 extreme overclocking skills at the G.SKILL booth.



The Online Qualifier round will be hosted on HWBOT.org from March 13 to April 16, 2019. For this stage, 4 particular benchmarks are selected to test each overclocker's memory overclock tweaking skills: Highest DDR4 Frequency, SuperPi 32m, Geekbench 3 Memory Performance single core, and 3DMark11 on integrated graphics processors. Participants must use G.SKILL DDR4 memory kits and the specified Intel platforms.

And for participants of the Online Qualifier stage, one lucky draw winner will be randomly selected to win a Trident Z Royal DDR4-3600 CL16 16GB (2x8GB) memory kit.

actually who cares ?
 
stop abusing girls, follow F1 ban :laugh:

That ain't Hooters man, it's an OC competition. :) Geeks are very warmhearted people, unless you are a console peasant :D PC master race :P
 
Love the models...
Skirt to the left and the black is my favorite.
 
Asian chick on the far right is questioning her lifes decisions.

 
Oh boy *sigh*, never thought OC would actually be taken so seriously it receives annual self contained 'eSports' of overclocking league, I wonder if the next big 'smash dat hardware limit cap' will be something like assembling GPU from scratch live and in front of shit ton of crowd? Tempting to see...
 
Only 10k? I like it more if they let the winner pick one Gskill girl.
 
serious question are these girls into overclocking and pc tech and hardware too or are they hired just to be here?. Please don't take me as trying to say this is wrong or bad or girls cant be into hardware too, i'm just curious. Also why do they wear clothes like that. is that to appeal to the guys? honestly just never understood it with these events and girls wearing short skirts. again not saying it a problem is just curious :D is it really hot in there or something haha

Behind all the make up and forced smiling - no, but some may had a small peek of interest, though those girls are paid quite sufficiently to show off in these clothes and it does makes sense, because majority of them work as models in fashion industry and are hired by companies to attend these event.
 
Must have been super exciting :rolleyes:
 
HA LOL the girl in the black looking at him like I'm going to help you spend that 10k tonight wink wink say no more
