HWBOT, an organization regulating international Overclocking competitions and rankings, today officially announces the ‘Performance Matters’ event in Las Vegas during CES 2017. To celebrate the launch of the HWBOT World Tour 2017, the ‘Performance Matters’ event includes a Kick Off event with industry partners and Overclockers demoing Intel's next generation processors and their overclocking capabilities, and an OC Kick Off Party - the ideal way to toast the world of Overclocking as we enter 2017.

“We are delighted to invite overlockers, industry partners and media to celebrate the start of another important year for Overclocking,” commented Pieter-Jan Plaisier, Director at HWBOT. “An expanded HWBOT World Tour 2017 with more OC workshops and contests will mean more engagement with more enthusiasts than ever before.”

As a celebration of overclocking, the OC community and the industry partners that support it, the Kick Off event will involve an Overclocking demo of the latest processor platform from Intel. Illustrating the global reach of Overclocking, five overclockers from five different regions of the globe will be in attendance to give an Overclocking demonstration using the latest Intel platform. Motherboards and memory from five different vendors will be used alongside five different benchmarks.
