HIGHLIGHT REEL 2 statistically speaking a success. About 250 overclockers from around the world stepped up and held their country’s honor high. Not only can we say that the top teams of this year (Poland, Greece and Indonesia) put up a consistent set of top scores, lots of other countries put up a good fight with the resources they had. Take Canada, for instance: with a few results on liquid nitrogen they managed to secure 9th place overall. Mr.Paco and Chuckgunz from Puerto Rico secured a solid 16th place as a two man team. The United States were nowhere in the beginning, but thanks to a very strong finish, a perfect landing in the top-10. From the pictures posted by various members in the forum topic, we can safely assume that the Country Cup was, again, good for countless hours of shared fun. Whether that was shared across the internet or physically benching in one room, sharing our passion for overclocking is what the HWBOT Country Cup is all about. In any case, we take what we learned last year and hope to see you all for next year’s competition! Information regarding the winners of our custom Country Cup cooling gear will follow in the forums.
