overclocking is a young, and expensive enthusiast sport in malaysia. Of course, we see almost 70% of us trying to overclock, but stop to a certain extent, because the higher you go in this padestal, the more expensive the hobby gets.

Secondly, parts here dont change at a rapid pace like in the US or Japan. Due to the demand of newer parts being high, older parts tend to be cheaper and affordable in those countries. unlike here, Where demand are the opposite.

Third, our gdp is not as high compared to tech enthusiast countries, we dont earn as much to support the hobby in the long run, things aint cheap for us, unless youre sponsored or ur just cold rich. As pointed in paragraph one. Our salaries are too weak to support our hobby.

Lastly, overclocking doesnt fit the agenda of the local government, there is no reason to be sponsoring events because the government here has other things in mind, in which its not right for me to point out here.

Considering all those circumstances, i believe the only way we can move up is by self supporting or finding ppl who can support our hobbies. Besides that, i dont see any reason for us to be on par with the worlds best.

On a personal note, as im a noob myself in overclocking, OC can get really technical too, as we get deeper entrenched to it. A background knowledge on electronics and computer architecture is essential, and this requires hardwork. How many of us are willing to put the hours to learn this things ?

wat u talking about ? the whole trip the competitiors didnt have to pay anything. only for what they wanted to do out side . so wat the hell u talking about ?
