Gigabyte OC School Tour in Germany

Gigabyte is as we would say “keep pushing it” in the domain of the OC education, and they are doing it the right way. As we had been taugh and were telling you in our previous news reguarding the GOOC 2013, even if Gigabyte isn’t taking the way of global OC contest, they are not forgeting the overclocking community.

“The purpose of this OC school is to have end users to learn about how to tune up their PC with advises from professionals” says Gigabyte representative Leo Chu. During these OC schools, gigabyte is going to introduce utilities that users may use to boost their PC performance and assist to overclocking demonstrations made by, de8auer from the PC Games Extreme Hardware team.

As it seems to be, these OC School events appear to be on invitation only bases. Some might say that it could have been cool to open up a little more the schools to more participants but hey, lets not complain and salute the initiative!

Events like this are always a good way to give a little kick to the community. Then it is our role to make sure that the fresh overclocking blood that comes out of these schools doesn’t forget about what they have learned and keep pushing it at home !

they didn't invite you? Probably because you are a pro.

Actually I heard about it by accident from the sales manager, but, local media was not informed - makes little sense ot me, but that does not really bother me, I just think it is ashame that Roman, being an overclocker, does not notify the community, after all, it is a great thing, and pretty much what Massman has been doing at Tones.be computer store for a few years now..... If I am not mistaking that is...

I do remember an announcement of the OC school. But can't remember where I read it

Roman published an announcement here: http://extreme.pcgameshardware.de/us...oc-schule.html

But seriously I don't get why it's such a big deal that the OC school tour wasn't announced in all international forums Roman is registered at. The school tour is intended for local German-speaking OC-newbies. There was no need for additional teachers and no user in this thread needs to get teached basic OC knowledge. As an overclocker it's not Roman's duty to do promotion work for Gigabyte. We've seen some similar teaching events even outside of Europe and it makes sense to announce them only locally. People from almost 150 countries participate at Hwbot, so why annoy all these guys ("Hey fellow, there will be an event. But it's not intended for you. Now you know ...")?

It's good to make this kind of event public; might inspire other countries to do something similar

That's why I like to read reports afterwards when there's something to see.

Everything is important, correction made. Thanks. Gigabyte PRs contain errors, I should verify everything ><

Basically I know that all of the people here don't neet to be taught about OC but the news (if you read the end) is actually trying to lift up some questions that are these:
- Ok, Gigabyte germany do it (and spain). Why not the other Gigabyte offices? Need a group strategy maybe. (suggestion)
- Ok, new overclockers come out maybe .. but what after? How we keep the fresh blood benching?
- Ok OC schools by Gigabyte. Cool, but isn't it primary the role of the OC communities themselves at the beginning to share and teach about OC before a manufacturer? Yes we need vendor support for such events, but the initiative in my opinion should come from us, its our passion not the vendors one. (even if marketing wise they wont tell you that). Its a business, all sales possibilities are good to be taken.

So Yes, maybe it could look like advertisement for gigabyte, but they do something for us and people should know. And then we need to think maybe more about it, about the future of our communities.

@ Xyala: No problem

About the topic:
The idea was to teach "normal" users without any OC experience how to do the OC-Basics. We taught them how to overclock their systems to about 4,5 GHz using normal air coolers. We want to change the common opinion here in Germany that overclocking is bad and just damages everything... Basic-OC for gamers and not benching.

Nothing for HWBot guys

So there is/was no reason to announce this event on international forums or on HWBot Plus this is an official GIGABYTE event and it is not my decision who will be invited.


edit: Using "der8auer" as nickname was propably the worst choice in history Still don't get why it's so hard to read it as "derBauer"
