the competition and hardware? I think there are still a few small things that need improvement, but overall it was much better than previous years in my opinion. What is your favourite MOA to date since 2008? It was definitely 2013. It was my first trip to Taiwan ever, only those who travelled there can understand... Do you still compete in the rankings personally or is that not important for your anymore. Do you even find time to be overclocking as much as before? Not for a very long time. Now I only participate in HWBOT Pro OC Cup with my team mate Pt1t under a joint user profile named “The Overclocking Knights”. Together with Benchbros, Der8auer & Dancop we formed “Team Pro OC EU” which is currently ranked 1st. What is your favourite graphics card or platform to overclock?

Is there perhaps, anything you’d like to see changed in the overclocking community? I’d like to see more & more people involved in extreme overclocking so this hobby can become more popular and maybe evolve into an E-sport. I’d also like to see overclockers relax and have even more fun than they already are! There are still some nice competitions but it’s not as friendly as anymore. I think that like always, once companies, money and support (hardware in this case) got involved, it changed a lot of things. Now I see a lot of overclockers whine like divas about everything and it is seriously not helping. I mean criticism is always fine when it is constructive, but there are relevant topics, right time and the right way to do it.
