The G.Skill OC World Cup returns for 2026 with $40,000 prize pool

The G.Skill Annual OC World Cup returns at Computex 2026 with a $40,000 prize pool up for grabs. The top nine overclockers from the qualifying rounds will go head-to-head and we may see some records broken along the way.

G.SKILL has been hosting the OC World Cup at Computex for many years at this point and it is often a highlight of the event. As always, there will be qualifying rounds in the months before Computex, with the top nine contestants then being invited to join G.Skill at Computex to compete in one final showdown for a share of a $40,000 prize pool.

The OC World Cup champion will get $10,000, with the rest of the prize pool broken up between the remaining placements. Here is the prize pool breakdown:

• OC Champion: $10,000 USD
• 2nd Place: $6,500 USD
• 3rd Place: $5,000 USD
• 4th Place: $4,200 USD
• 5th Place: $3,400 USD
• 6th Place: $3,000 USD
• 7th Place: $2,800 USD
• 8th Place: $2,600 USD
• 9th Place: $2,500 USD

To sweeten the deal, each of these top-nine overclockers will also receive a DDR5-8000 32GB memory kit. Two runner-ups who completed the online qualifier trials will also be randomly selected to get a DDR5-7200 32GB kit.

KitGuru Says: Computex 2026 is running from June 2nd to June 5th – as always, we will have coverage of the show during that week.
