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

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
