you could figure that out with some brain and reading the instructions on the pcb...

In early times that could save you a fortune so I kept this way of overclocking for quite a while.

Getting nutty about extreme OC - I blame it on shamino, hipro, victorwang, sampsa, pedro rocha and freddyama I had the chance to meet during cebit 2007...

The "oc-scene" back there was somehow different from today. much less mfc-influenced even abit and gskill hosted the events - and more relaxxed to each other.
the "big players" like asus, gb or msi haven't had a clue of public-oc-sessions on cebit back then...

And when I was responsible organizing 400L LN2 for shami and Foxconn and CoolerMaster and tyrou the year after that...well I was already a part of it...

...having GC2008 with AMD 1m "record" (lol) and giorgioprimo + saaya...just took it over the top
Victorwang, fredyama, sampsa, pedro rocha at cebit 2007?

g.skill booth babes must have been the most silly I have seen EVER (original comment "you are just lurking around the booth since 4 days - don't you have anything else to do"...wanted to kill this b1tch right away...so brainless, so stupid...argh ^^

also I had a funny community at home: fr3ak, tyrou and jupiler (former admin of XS)...oh dear that is something that will never repeat and never get better.
not even a sauna can beat that - imagine 4-5 filthy, sweating fairground-nerds in 15m² sleeping room...no snorring or I was the loudest, not sure anymore ^^
wtf I must have missed all the fun, lots of meetings that year, and the following year^^ one after, 2009 you may remember me arriving late at the party
I meet Shamino, Coolaler, Hipro5 and alot of marketing folks that year, oh and think I meet Boris, Otter and Micha as well, they were using the box cooling, or was that the year after?

Anyhow, dont recall having meet Fredyama...

my friend built his own computer and it was stupidly cheap compared to an off the shelf.

so i was like, "hey, here's money show me how to do that!". so we went to a store, bought a bunch of parts and he showed me how to put it together. at the time i said "do you reckon this is the sorta thing where it'll be heaps of fun to pull it apart and put it back together again a bunch of times?" he said "nah no way"

idiot. ive been pulling it apart and putting it back together again with new stuff for the last 4 years now.
