The HWBOT World Tour 2016 arrives in Canada on April 15th in time for LanETS, the biggest gaming event in North America. Competitive overclocking takes center stage with both Amateur World Series and Extreme Overclocking contests offering plenty of excitement where great hardware prizes are at stake, plus a chance to appear in the HWBOT World Championship Finals. Today we can bring you more details about contest format and rules.
