Growing Overclocking Activity
Performance / Cost
Lowest SKU
Top SKU
Match performance of more expensive part
Core i7 Up to 8 coresUp to USD $1000
Core i3 / i52 to 4 coresUSD $100 to $250
Core i5 / i7 4 to 6 cores USD $250 - $600
Product offering
Have more performance than the most expensive part
“I need more than what you offer”
“I want to spend less for this performance”
“I get more out of what I paid for”
The Overclocker’s Mind-set
Overclocking Requires Best Product Quality
• Overclockers need the best quality components to ensure system stability as they run beyond factory specification
• Extreme Overclockers use exotic cooling to achieve the best performance. Components need to support:• High electrical current• Extreme operating temperatures (
-150°C)• Resistance to hardware stress and
workload
Taiwan Leads in Overclocking

Overclocking Workshop30 minutes to learn, 30 minutes to practice
Overclocking Workshop – Brazil
145 participants, 3 days

OC World ChampionshipExtreme overclocking competition
Extreme Overclocking
• Top of the overclocking world
• Use Liquid Nitrogen (LN2) to cool the hardware components• Lower temperature = higher
frequency• Lower temperature = higher voltage
tolerance
• World Series 2016• 6 competitions around the world• 1 World Championship
