Posted September 28, 201014 yr 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:
September 28, 201014 yr Author A (tad) more serious: a video. Sampsa was also one of the first to introduce satefy precautions in Extreme Overclocking
September 28, 201014 yr Any reasons known? Just had the chance to meet him once in Vienna last year. Very humble person. You will be missed!
September 28, 201014 yr Crew sad to hear that. only had the pleasure to meet him once last year. Edited September 28, 201014 yr by Turrican
September 28, 201014 yr Crew 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. Massman, nice pics
September 28, 201014 yr Don't know him personally, but I grew up hearing about WRs from him, Macci and others Bye sampsa!
September 28, 201014 yr Sad to hear that. I've met him only once but it was a great experience. Humble guy, I hope that someday he returns back in the overclocking world.
September 28, 201014 yr why? Don't know him personally but i've read a lot from him and i think he is one of the most experienced OCer...
September 28, 201014 yr Author For those in grief and/or in pain, please share you favorite Sampsa-story. I laughed quite a bit when he killed "one of the 1000" AMD TWKR CPUs and people on the forums got mad at him
September 28, 201014 yr Sampsa @ some-bar-in-Vienna after a shot of unknown vodka: "Ewww, Swedish vodka! The finnish guys are now finished!"
September 28, 201014 yr Sampsa @ some-bar-in-Vienna after a shot of unknown vodka: "Ewww, Swedish vodka! The finnish guys are now finished!" Hehe. Yes this was a nice story. Was the time when the vodka bottle was broken^^
September 28, 201014 yr never saw the helmet clip, rofl Is he leaving murokapetti? Golf is cool and all Sampsa but c'mon, overclocking is where it's at!

September 29, 201014 yr For those in grief and/or in pain, please share you favorite Sampsa-story. I laughed quite a bit when he killed "one of the 1000" AMD TWKR CPUs and people on the forums got mad at him There were 100 TWKR not 1000
September 29, 201014 yr 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
September 29, 201014 yr He seems very young with dry-ice. He's very talentend I imagine. Sad to hear that...
