Tones OC Academy IV Report @ Madshrimps

The boys from Madshrimps trying to find new recruits for their overclocking team! None of the participants had any real OC experience before this event, but they all went home having benched with LN2 for the first time!

On the 5th of May, Tones joined forces with ASUS again, and invited the Madshrimps crew to assist the fourth edition of Overclock Academy. This time no trip into the dark woods of Netherlands, but a return to the roots of the first two Academy editions. Keep it small, cozy and limit the amount of invites to a minimum. Thus maximizing the teaching process and maybe doubling the fun. This event had to be rapidly organized. Aim was to keep it as close as possible to the launch date of Intel's Ivy Bridge processors (29th of April). Time to head off to Heist on the Hill (free English translation of Heist op den Berg) for another day overclocking fun.

Probably Samsung "smart-TV" series. Pretty high-end

Nice report! Thinking back about my childhood, that would have been so cool to see something like this happening at a local PC-shop.

Massman, Leghoofd, Pt1t - did I miss further well-known extreme overclockers?

All props go to Manu and Bert from Tones. Those guys are pushing the OC gig in the shop and getting vendors on board to pay for it all
