Bl4ckdot (FRA) wins OC World Cup 2026 at Computex Taipei
bl4ckdot from France won the G.SKILL OC World Cup 2026 in a fierce battle against Russian overclocker Dim0n527 and two-time champion CENS from Germany.
For the final, the overclockers were allowed to pick their preferred benchmark. bl4ckdot chose 3D Evolve Benchmark, which was specially created for this OCWC event. CENS selected 7-ZIP, while Dim0n527 went with Y-Cruncher-5B.
Even though it was only his second time on the OCWC stage, bl4ckdot stayed remarkably calm and followed a clear strategy. He saved the memory frequency stage for the final hour, while the other two competitors focused on the remaining benchmarks.

It was a sensational Grand Final on Friday and a strong finish to another impressive OC World Cup 2026 event by G.SKILL and Intel.
A standout part of the competition was the sportsmanship on display, with competitors even exchanging personal hardware to keep each other's systems running - exactly how this kind of event should be.
Thanks to G.Skill, Intel, Seasonic, Thermal Grizzly and Evolve Benchmark for making it happen.
Also a big thumbs up for the G.Skill crew that were once more perfect hosts for the judges and competitors Thank you!!
