A PHOTOGR APHIC JOURNEY
C
OMPUTEX just wrapped up a couple of weeks
ago and we were there for the presentations
and the hardware. This year saw easily the
biggest and best overclocking event in the
history of organised overclocking, and as fate
would have it. It was not organised by any one vendor but
a community body, HWBOT. In partnership with several
vendors, we saw the largest gathering of overclockers
to date with the single intention of overclocking and
competing to their heart’s content. No bus tours,
no reluctant duck dinners and such. Just a group of
likeminded individuals from all over the world coming
together to do what they love and spend a great time,
effort and monetary investment into perusing. Truly the
highlight of the entire show for TheOverclocker.
However, COMPUTEX would not be anything without the
hardware and all kinds of components and products on
show. INTEL launched the Boradwell-E 6000 series CPUs
and of course the GTX 1080 was just about everywhere.
There was not much extreme* overclocking of either so
not much worth getting excited about came from either
piece of hardware, but suffice to say the results after
Computex slowly started to trickle in.
Instead of bludgeoning you to death with walls of text
as to what vendors had that was new, we’d rather present
you with pictures instead. Nothing beats being at the
actual event in person, but hopefully these give you
some idea of what went down from some of our favourite
vendors and events of the show.
