The G.Skill Annual OC World Cup returns this year after a three-year hiatus. The event will kick off starting in March with a public online qualifier stage, after which successful entrants will be invited through to the next state, after some additional OC battling, a Grand Final will be held at Computex. 

The Online Qualifier Stage runs from the 1st of March 2023 until the 5th of April. The top 9 overclockers in the HWBot online qualifier will then be invited to the live qualifier to compete in person. Then, the top three from this group will be invited to Computex 2023 to compete in the grand final.

You'll need to place in the top 9 in order to win a cash prize. The grand prize is $10,000 for first place. The 2nd place winner will get $6,500, and the 3rd place winner will get $5,000. The lowest cash prize is still $2,500, so if you get to the live qualifier and then have a poor showing, you'll still walk away with a decent amount of money at the end of it.

The Live Qualifier will run from the 30th of May until the 1st of June. Then, the Grand Final will take place at Computex 2023 on the 2nd of June. All overclockers in the top 9 will get an additional prize, a G.Skill DDR5-7800 32GB memory kit. Three more participants from the Online Qualifier stage will be randomly selected to win a DDR5-7200 32GB memory kit.
