What a night ! It started with a discussion between OverClocking-TV's host @Trouffman*and two special guests co-host : The one and only crazy-haired Buildzoid*and the equally opposite crazy-bearded Dr. Beardasaurus aka Houston.

As a personal note, I enjoyed every bit of that event, from putting on the stream on both side as director and host, in collaborating with a multi-cultural team with the local crew, Buildzoid and Houston. Everyone involved at his level to make this live show a success. We even had the chance to get Jeff The Turle, the iconic OverClocking-TV mascot on the live set, can you find it ?

Thank you to all the viewers that tuned in for the live coverage, HWBOT for putting out such event and all the crew that prevented Murphy's law from interacting with the show! Great job all

Keep Pushing It

As you know from another thread: the event in China was postponed from November to April next year. This means we would have one less World Tour event than planned. A couple of APAC overclockers reached out and asked if we were going to host a replacement event in order to have a chance to qualify for the OCWC in December.

So,

We are currently looking to host a replacement event in Taipei in the weekend of October 22-23. We are working as fast as possible to confirm the plan and will update this thread in case it all goes through.

Just wanted to give a quick heads-up

I already spoke with some people about the announcement that GC Play in China has been moved to 2018. This means that the event will not be included in the 2017 World Tour.

We are looking for a replacement event in APAC region for the OCWC Qualifier.

To be updated.

Unfortunately the HWBOT World Tour will not be attending the PAX Seattle event early next month. Despite our best efforts, logistical and financial constraints mean that it's not going to happen.

The good news is that we intend to maintain our commitment to having two World Tour events in North America in 2017. Right now we are doing our utmost to attend DreamHack in Montreal on Sept 8th - 10th. Plans are not finalized yet, but we will confirm more details in the next week or so.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Just a quick message to let you know we're working on making sure the championship qualifiers will be fair at every event. With the buffer of memory we have from last year, we will be able to supply everyone at a qualifier with the same memory kit. So special bins won't be effective during the qualifiers unless a memory vendor partners up for a specific event.

We are also working on a large enough pool of CPUs that we can pre-bin to ensure the CPUs are as closely matched as possible. The exact details are still in the works, but hopefully we can also provide CPUs as prizes for each event.

To be continued!

I received some questions from people asking what the plan is for Computex this year. This week we had conversations with Taitra, G.SKILL and technikPR regarding the general outline of the activities. Unlike last year we will not host a large scale area at Nangang, primarily because there are no major hardware launches around that time.

The weekend prior to Computex, from Saturday May 27 until Monday May 29 we have a room in the Xinyi/101 area for a general OC gathering with all the nitrogen you can wish for. During Computex week we'll spend most of the time at the G.SKILL booth as the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2017 is the official World Championship Qualifier for the Taipei stop. During the week there's also a "Performance Matters" night presented together with technikPR.

Because we're still quite far off, not everything is set in stone yet. In the next couple of weeks, we'll look into gathering partners for the weekend overclocking activities, you'll get more information regarding the G.SKILL OC World Cup and the dinner/drinks.

Just wanted to give you a heads up on the general outline.

:celebration:

//UPDATE//

Hey guys, this is the preliminary schedule for Computex:

• May 26th - 28th: Overclocker's Gathering at TWTC
  
• May 29th: to be confirmed
  
• May 30th - June 1st: G.SKILL OC World Cup 2017 Live Qualifier
  
• May 30th - June 2nd: Extreme overclocking workshop
  
• June 2nd: G.SKILL OC World Cup 2017 Final
  
• May 30th - June 3rd: G.SKILL OC World Record Stage
  

We are working on getting enough monitors, power supplies, keyboards and mice at the gathering so luggage space can be saved for other things.

During the gathering we'll have some Broadwell-E and Kaby Lake CPUs for you to play with. We'll be inviting other hardware partners to support the event as well, but this is yet to be confirmed. On May 29 I'm trying to arrange something special overclocking related, but still need final confirmation on whether it's possible.

The Extreme Overclocking Workshop at G.SKILL is targeted at the international media attending Computex. We have a 20min session to show the media how extreme overclocking works and how to get to 7GHz or DDR4-5000. Anyone who would like to volunteer a couple of hours to interface with the media, drop a message below. We'd love to connect the overclockers with the media

Tickets will be available soon too //edit: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hwbot-world-tour-taipei-2017-tickets-33693513205

If everything goes as planned, this will be an epic Computex :D

I just wanted to write a quick message on the new site we prepared for the World Tour information. Firstly, here's the link: Home | HWBOT World Tour.

We want to improve the World Tour next year and along with additional events, we also wanted a nicer site than just a single page to share all the information of past and future events. We already added as much information as possible from the previous events, including our very first event in Taiwan in 2014 called the HWBOT OC Anniversary Gathering. We're adding the general information, aftermovies and of course event pictures.

After wrapping up the Championship last weekend, I'm also able to do a small write-up shedding some light on some of the costs and organizational challenges we faced during the past year. I hope to have that out before the end of the year so we can start fresh in January.

Even though it's been a difficult and stressful 2016 for all the staff helping out at the events and spending lots of free time trying to make it work, I'm super proud and happy to have been able to be part of it. Here's to an even better 2017 :celebration:

Drop a message below if you find any bugs or problems with the micro-site. Feedback is always welcome! :ws:

I'm sure you are all excited to find out more about the World Tour 2017 plan. While we are still working hard to finalize the plan for next year, one event you can put in your agenda: CES 2017.

We are planning for a special activity the day prior to the kick-off at CES which runs from January 5 until January 8. On the 5th and 6th we will be at the GIGABYTE suite for the World Tour gathering and first stop of the World Series competition.

We are working around the clock to get all the information and pages up and running. I hope we'll get the ticketing/reservation pages up and running by early next week.

If you don't know what to do yet in the first week of January, I'd say Las Vegas will be a great spot for overclocking *wink*.

I'll update the thread once I have more information.

:celebration: :celebration: :celebration:

So as you all know already, we'll be hosting the World Tour at Nangang 4th Floor this year. The event includes both extreme and amateur overclocking. We're still finalizing all the details for the competition, but I know that many of you are looking to plan out the Computex week so I want to give you the information as soon as possible.

The World Series at Computex is slightly different from the other World Tour events since we have 5 days of overclocking. The structure is as follows:

• May 31: 3h qualifier + top-2 1vs1
  
• June 1: 3h qualifier + top-2 1vs1
  
• June 2: 3h qualifier + top-2 1vs1
  
• June 3: 3h qualifier + top-2 1vs1
  
• June 4: semi-, bronze and grand final between the 4 winners
  

The winner on Day 4 grabs the ticket to the World Championship at the end of the year. Thanks to some incredible partners, we're also able to provide some cash prizes:

• USD 500 - 250 - 125, for the top-3 of each qualifier
  
• USD 1000 - 500 - 250, for the overall top-3 on June 4
  

At the moment we're finalizing the details for the qualifier and 1vs1 hardware. I can't disclose too much yet, but let's just say that the 1vs1 will be on the X99 platform *wink*.

As for bringing your own hardware: just like any other World Tour this is a BYOC event. That means you can bring anything you want and enjoy the LN2 we have at the event. Thanks to Seasonic, we can provide ONE 760W Platinum PSU for each participant (to be returned), so you don't need to bring a PSU if you don't have one. We're also working on providing enough monitors, but nothing is confirmed yet.

The following hardware will be provided for qualifier and finals:

• PSU: Seasonic 760W Platinum
  
• CPU
  
• Motherboard
  
• Memory
  
• Monitor
  
• Keyboard / mice
  
• Misc: 1x 500ml thermal flask

On May 30th, from 8PM until 12AM we have an Overclockers Gathering with drinks and food provided by ASUS, Thermal Grizzly and HWBOT. All overclockers are welcome, you just need to provide your HWBOT handle. We'll post the event page here soon too.

That's all for now, more information to follow!
