  1. Everything is possible :D

     

    I was about to approach OcUK and ask if they would be willing to hold a meet for the UK guys, but seeing as how Pack works there and you work with Pack...what would you think the chances would be?

  2. I'm definitely coming if I have the time to go. Loved the last one even if I didn't really get much benching done.

     

    Was one of the highlights of my weekend finally meeting you :)

     

    I'd be interested in coming up! Sounds like a lot of fun! Especially the beer part!

     

    Beer is always good :D

     

    it's one of the venue requirements!

  3. I'd come if there is a cinebench tex modding contest!

     

    No, seriously, I would love to make it again. Last was really good! But depends on the dates, and how certain qualifiers go, family etc...

     

    Haha sounds great! Was awesome meeting you last year, I have to admit!

     

    Since I've managed to avoid every other event I'd definitely have to make this one.

     

    No excuses slacker :D

     

    I'll have to try and get to this one as I missed the last meet

     

    You will indeed mate, you were a big miss at the last one :(

     

    Depending on when, i'll probably be up for it.

     

    Might even bring some personality and enthusiasm this time!

     

    Randomly picking up the dewar and pouring it directly into my pot was a particular highlight! Probably one of the nicest guys I have met in years too! :)

  4. Hey guys

     

    Some of you may or may not know that I held a UK based overclocking event last year in Sheffield. The turnout was good in my opinion and some benchers who have always wanted to meet each other finally got the chance. Much LN2 was poured, many beers were had and lots of fun too!

     

    Some of us are looking at holding another one sometime in 2017 (dates are flexible right now) and this post is purely designed to gauge interest.

     

    Who would be interested in attending? LN2er, Newbies, Rookies, Experienced, New blood - All 100% welcome! This might be in the UK, but everyone Worldwide including Europe is welcome to come along!

     

    I am currently working to source a venue for it, so the more interested the better. Obviously, we are trying to keep the costs involved down to a minimum, so we will probably sell tickets again like last time, but this is obviously not for profit so if we manage to get costs paid via a sponsor, then we will use money for pooled hardware/pizza/beer etc

     

    If you are interested, please say below :)

  5. The screenshot shown on the example is not clear and I think there should also be one showing what it show look like on the web version as well. Atm half the score or maybe even more don't even have valid screenshot.

     

    Example? I can't see anything buddy :D

  6. I havent mounted my card yet, but I had to use a clamp for my gt 710. Sometimes you can take off mounting hardware and build a platform on the mobo and then actually place the pot against gpu, so it pushes a little and try and reinforce behind gpu, not great for mobo slot though. it's worked for me before. Maybe zip ties to tighten a bit.

     

    Did you try the g92 mounting holes, gotta look at my card when get home, havent taken out of box yet.

     

    Thanks mate

     

    Pot only came with 1 bracket, so guess I'm screwed on that front! I have made a fix though, so hopefully it will work :D

  7. Question about XOCing this card

     

    I have 3 pots here - A fat, a slim and a stubby, but the mounting on them doesn't fit the RX 460 STRIX :(

     

    How have you all mounted them and it's like the copper from the block is actually covering the holes...is there a method that I'm oblivious to here?

  8. I can imagine Crosshair VI Impact :)...

     

    It would be pretty epic, but I have heard they are moving away from the Impact branding with Kaby etc...could just be a simple re-name, but could be a re-design too which would suck!

     

    I still think it could be a really cool idea to split amd and nvidia globals. I was thinking only 3d at first but why not do 2d also. Especially with these new processors coming. Even if AMD releases expensive stuff soon we will still at least have that option to bench for globals, unlike now.

     

    Also it could help overclockers with more sample opportunities. Because I'm sure most of us dont ask for AMD parts. Maybe AMD could also become more involved with sponsoring.

     

    I just think it opens up a whole new world of benching and parts and as of right now a very cost effective option.

     

    I will certainly get a Zen setup, even if it's to just play with...but I'm sure ill find a use for it! Full pot benching :D
