Massman Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Only to cover MOA (10th - 13th of September), will be my farewell to extreme-overclocking, for now Finnish overclocker Sampsa announced his farewell to overclocking on XS. This Xtreme Overclocking Legend (being one of the first to embrace LN2 overclocking) was loved by the community and will be missed. Some random pictures of him. He was also loved by the Finnish overclocking community at Muropaketti: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 A (tad) more serious: a video. Sampsa was also one of the first to introduce satefy precautions in Extreme Overclocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Antinomy Posted September 28, 2010 Crew Share Posted September 28, 2010 Dammit, there's too much people R.I.P. recently around that I've thought of the bad from the title. Luckily, it's not that bad I think we'll all miss Sampsa, there were thing to learn from him on XS. Hope he'll find himself new things he likes to do.

elmor Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Our liquid helium benching session in Finland last summer was a great moment! Also the Intel events in Sweden will be remembered. I'm sure we'll see more of him even if he's not doing any overclocking himself any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
