ROG Camp 2016 online qualifier

From September 30 to October 31, an online qualifier ran on oc-esports, to select eight of the best air and water overclockers from Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Competitors had to submit scores in 5 different stages: XTU, RealBench HWBOT Edition, Cinebench R15, CPU frequency and Geekbench3.

Below are the top eight who qualified to compete in the finals in Berlin. 

 

ROG Camp - live event in Berlin

The event will be separated into two days. The first day is where the eight overclockers will learn different aspects of extreme overclocking, and the second day will be dedicated to a live contest using their newly-acquired skills.

To lead them into extreme overclocking, Roman "der8auer" Hartung, one of the best overclockers worldwide, will share some of his secrets including insulation, pot mounting, liquid nitrogen use and overclocking tweaks under cold.
