HWBOT
WORLD TOUR CAPE TOWN
AT RAGE CAPE TOWN 2016!

everal months ago in March.
HWBOT made its first ever stop
in Africa, more importantly
sunny South Africa, home to Elite
overclockers, ViVi and DrWeez.
A new country, new continent
at a new gaming show, HWBOT in
partnership with MSI, SEASONIC,
INTEL, G.Skill and NAG put
together one of the best amateur
overclocking workshops that have
taken place in the country. Of
course at the same time qualifiers
were held for the more extreme
overclockers where the eventual
winner DrWeez, would earn the
privilege of making his way to
Germany for the final, later
36 The OverClocker Issue 38 | 2016
on in the year.
As much as the extreme part of
the competition was important,
the real show was for the Amateur
tutoring and competition part of
the event. Novices in the world
of competitive overclocking were
taught the ins and outs of INTEL’s
XTU and given the opportunity to
compete for supremacy via the
included benchmark. With some
intense competition throughout the
weekend. The eventual winner in the
amateur bracket was UFDisciple,
who constantly delivered the best
XTU score at every turn.
As is courtesy with these large
T O U R
events, there were promotion
prizes as well, sponsored, by the
aforementioned companies. One
lucky individual walked away with
a 1KW Seasonic PSU, an MSI Z170A
Gaming Pro Carbon Motherboard,
a set of G.Skill 8GiB 3466MHZ
Samsung Die memory and of course
an HWBOT Thermal Flask as well in
the giveaway.
Better than just telling you
what happened however, it is best
you experience it in pictures. A
phenomenal showing for the first
ever HWBOT even in AFRICA and
certainly one that we hope to see
again in future.
