HWBot Country Cup 2011: The HWBot Country Cup is a yearend competition that puts overclockers from different countries in competition against each other for the grand prize of bragging rights and a few assorted prizes. Dennis talks about how the United States team has done in the past and some theories as to why US based overclockers have never done well in this competition. Romania is the two time defending champion so it will be interesting to watch the competition unfold.
