I though a jive turkey as jive dancing turkey.. @Leeghoofd: I thought you are a bunny? Just a slightly crazy one..

Hi, Here is the issue: I tried to login to the main page in order to check some results. but i am unable to. I then tried the same login and it work fine? Any ideas or is this a bug? if i cant log into the main page then how am i mean to to submit score when i wish to? (if this is a documented issue then please re-direct me to the right page) Cheers, Jimba

Why blame the aussie's..humour is accepted here isnt it? Why not change dino's nick to Dorothy the dinosaur..lol.. im happy with mine and need no name change.

great score..Well done Viss. I cant wait to play with mine for some 4870X2 crossfire fun.. Nice clocks on the cards!

great work! nice score man,congrats!

I knew i have a boo boo somewhere. is there such a thing as a fat overclocker? i thought everyone gets fit from running back and forth like a group of mad dogs chasing a ball all day..

why does ney look like a hippie? or is that someone else? They funny thing that i find is most overclockers (from pictures ive seen from events and such) are all fit and lean whereas the general perception of computer nerds is fat,lazy and nerdy.. I guess it is a sport then..

Why didnt they pick ivy bridge instead? should be interesting to see what you guys do though.

why not have a competition on one day only and announce it suddenly,that way there is no to little sandbagging?

nice mug shots guys..

+1 for a trade section. If i can buy pots and other gear at a cheaper price then im all for it. Bring it on..

awsome pics.but very big..I used 1GB of memory in FF just viewing those pics..

you european guys are just mad...but sound awesome.. Does he drink it like water? When i finally get around to going to europe then benching is on the list for sure..

would it make him very sick/kill him? I thought drinking LN2 or even breathing the smoke is very,very bad for you? or turn him into some sort of mutant?

these 3 people rom around the world. Dinos22 -inspired me to get into overclocking in general and the main person i look up to in terms of overclocking etc(mainly team AU in general). one day i hope to be good enough the bench with the man himself.. Hipro5/kingpin - both very intering on the cold side of things - got me really into the extreme side overclocking (yet to actually do any of it..but im getting there!) Massman - discovered hwbot..found it run by this nutter.. does really good articles though. and recently i have been following the exploits of aritsidis (sorry if i spelt your name wrong!) i even joined hwbox.gr to try and learn some thier secerts..dont speak greek..bad idea..im getting there..-

(Sorry if a thread like this has been created,if so please merge this thread) Just wondering how all of you guys got started with your overclocking adventures? For me it was just a natural progress when i started getting into computers and hearing the term "overclocking" said. I didnt know what it is so after some searching i got a understanding. I think it was around 2008 when i did my first overclock on a E6550 with the stock intel cooler. I had no idea what i was doing so i just increased the FSB a little and it booted so i tryed higher. I had heard of these programs called "benchmarks" so i decided to run a program called 3d mark vantage and i got a score so i overclocked my CPU some more and got a higher score..soon i was hooked. It wasn't until i think a few months after that i discovered a place which i know as xtreme systems where i saw some guys using exotic cooling to get really high scores (later found out to be LN2) after that i started to follow the exploits of a Australian guy called "dinos22" from reading his exploits i became more interested in overclocking and computers in general.I said to myself "i want to be as good as dinos22 one day" and i still continue aiming for that goal today,to be as good as my overclocking idol. (I need to get to LN2 level first) As i gained more knowledge about computers and overclocking when i had the opportunity to build my own system at the end of 2010 i picked components which where good at overclocking (except for the ram,i had a limited budget) today i continue to overclock and am building a bench system designed for that purpose. So what where your starts in overclocking?

good point. I cant say much but i do think then when a group makes a WR a group submit should be done. I think what hwbot needs a group submit section so that way group member A,B and C can submit under team A if done in a group or with their respective profile if using a person gear. eg: person A's gear is used with B and C helping then person A should submit and vice vera. pretty much what slamms said.

whats the first thought that pops into you head when you see it?

sick score! great work! the UP7 looks like the goods..now to wait..

that must of been shit duke (sorry for the bad pun)

they dont call you kingpin for nothing.

someone needs to meme that.

Im still trying to explain to my friends that benching is worthwhile hobby investment..so far no luck..
