HWBOT Country Cup 2015

In the global Overclocking diaspora the natives are restless in anticipation of another barnstorming contest that pits nation against nation to establish one salient fact: Which country can line up the best overclockers in 2015?
In previous years we’ve seen Country Cup wins for Romania, Poland, Greece and Australia. In fact last year Australia proved to be global top dogs with a thoroughly dominant display which saw them take first place in every stage. In 2015 can the French, runners-up from last year, make a bigger impact this time around, or will third place finishers Indonesia push the Aussies further?

The HWBOT Country Cup 2015: November 1st - December 20th
Hosted at OC-ESPORTS and running from November 1st to December 20th, the Country Cup is a lot like the World Cup of Overclocking and it’s not for the faint of heart. It consists of five stage that invite the best overclockers from around the world to bench on the best hardware they can get their hands on.
The stages of the Country Cup work a little differently from most other contests by HWBOT. Each stage requires either 1, 5 or 10 submissions, each using a different CPU or graphics card. This helps to enhance the team nature of the contest, favoring the team that can best organize themselves for optimal scoring.
