SF3D Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hi all! It is long long time since I last wrote something over here or anywhere else. Nothing lasts forever they say.. Few weeks ago I was invited to Intel Sweden to have some hardware to play with and relax with friends and do some scores at the same time. Fun it was and hardware was good but time was our worst enemy. We got the setup running well 1 hour before my flight home and I was not able to extend my stay. There is no excuses..I was not able to push the setup as I wanted but we got at least some sort of result out and we had that small glimpse of fun that we used to have years a go. We got a nice pile of nice hardware! Then I tested each card separately on air and selected 5 best cards to be tested on LN2. All cards were easy to run 2050MHz+ separately. Insulation had to be good but removable and no vaseline or grease allowed. All cards went back to ASUS after event. Drinks and food were perfect! Then it was time to do some 4-way. Setup is very easy to handle with EK-SF3D 4 way table and fat EK-SF3D Critical point GPU pots. So only real run we got through before I had to pack my stuff and leave was this: It is not very satisfying result but who cares in the end. These scores and threads are forgot in few days and that is just the way it is. This thread will be also my last for a long time if not forever. There is just no more point to loose all the time in life to push scores which will please us overclockers. I feel very pleased and happy when I remember all the events and fun nights with my friends. Life just goes on and after these 12 years of overclocking I have nothing else to achieve. I got all I ever dreamed and even more. We are really small community and we have been able to do amazing stuff in past years. Keep it that way.. all the stupid fights and rumours etc. are just not worth it. No one will be able to change how oc scene evolves and the changes in past 4 years have made it boring and stupid. That is my opinion and you don't need to mind about it if you disagree. I thank all my cooperators and sponsors who made all this possible. I thank specially Shamino who took me in to Foxconn OC project and Marcus Hultin - Kinc for taking care of me since 2007. Sami "macci" Mäkinen was the key for AMD stuff, thank you my friend! Thomas Melzer from intel have been the key thing all these years, so big thanks to you too! Niko Tivadar from EK made the high quality pots possible, so thank you as well! There are many many other guys but can not thank all separately. Thanks to HWbot for great site and thanks for letting me be part of it so many years in crew (Pieter and Frederik). Thanks to all of my friends all around the world. It is amazing to see how good people there are no matter where you are from. I wish all the best to you all and have fun in life. Keep pushing it like Oliver would say! Bye! Quote
der8auer Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hey Petri! Damn that's a pity I'm happy that I met you and always had a great time and a lot of fun with you. Just remembering Cebit few years ago, AOOC and all that I wish you all the best and hope we'll meet again at some point Quote
Andrix85 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hi Petri, thanks for all your work and I wish you all the best and hope you can play with OC in the future. Bye King... Andrix85 XtremeHardwareOC-TEAM Quote
saint19 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Hi man. I wish you all the best in future, i had not he future to meet you but you seems a very good guy and gentle person. I hope that we can see you again in the scene in few years...as you said, maybe you miss us in future. Edited April 23, 2015 by saint19 Quote
K404 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 If there might never be another chance Petri, then I would like to say it was brilliant to meet, OC and drink with you in Madrid Life takes us all in separate directions and I wish you every happiness and success Quote
Crew Trouffman Posted February 21, 2015 Crew Posted February 21, 2015 Petri, I'm sad to see you officially retiring, you've been around since forever and i remenber that 10-12 years ago it was a complete different vibe and story. Meeting you on the few events and competitions (moa, cebit, computex etc) was great and i will always remenber some of the good time we all had at theses after-event parties. I wish you the best in life, success in your future project and maybe (hope ) will see you again in the future ! Take care and.. Keep pushing it ! Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 It's a pity to see you retire Petri You're one of those legends that I admire long time ago for what you can achieve with your hardware, especially with your liquid helium AMD runs back in the day. I wish you the best for whatever next projects you are doing in the future, and keep pushing it! Quote
9700_Pro Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Ei paha! Jatkahan samaan malliin ja postaile välillä muroonkin! Samalla nikillä itse siellä pyörin (text in Finnish) Quote
Perica_barii Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Great OC career behind you...Respect for all the efforts and scores, and thing you done for OC community. I will miss you for sure, but hope that we will keep our friendship and that you will have success in other things in live as well. Quote
Guest Jipa Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Kudos for everything that you did. And really, couldn't give a damn about the current scene. Used to be so much more entertaining a few years back. Suppose it's back to Celeron-overclocking when there's time for the shenanigans Quote
TaPaKaH Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 It would be very sad to see you go, Petri. Let's hope one day you'll find enough motivation to come back Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted February 22, 2015 Crew Posted February 22, 2015 If there is booz, there will be Petri, take care man!! Enjoy your new life and family! Quote
Guest TheMadDutchDude Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 What a shame to see someone like you retire from the scene. That's just how life is and I wish you all the very best. Maybe one day you'll return, but we will all have to wait and see. Enjoy your spare time and make sure you do what's most important to you. Take care and keep well, Petri. Quote
slamms Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Petri, good luck, my friend! Enjoy your life without overclocking and know, that if you will need help somewhere in the world, you know whom you can ask to help! Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 I hope one day some motivation will appear again OC is addictive! Of course I understand the reasons, personal life is the most important. Still we don't need OC to meetup and have some fun Quote
Aerou Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I wish you the best to the future, Petri. It was nice to meet you back at older MOA and GOOC. I am sure this wasn't your "last" benching session and you will smell Helium in the future Until that time, sail strong, mighty Viking! :celebration: Quote
giorgioprimo Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Take rest and have fun. Hope to have an occasion to meet again Quote

BenchBros Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 All the best for you Petri! Was a pleasure to meet you several times! Especially thank you for filming my first shot during AOOC'14 Maybe the OC scene will make some steps backwards in the future and leave all the Kindergarten stuff behind... I'm also very sad about some comments, fights and rumours going on the last weeks/months. This is not what OC was meant to be! We will see who will quit next also because of that! Cheers! Andi Quote
Achill3uS Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Wish you all the best in the future Petri! It was nice to meet you back in 2008/2009, you made a huge impact on the community with your work, dont disappear without a trace Sometimes we all quit for a while, but let me quote from The Legend: "Overclock till death. Overclocking is life." Hipro5 Cheers, Bala Edited February 26, 2015 by Achill3uS Quote
elmor Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Are you sure Petri? Sampsa's back in action competing for the Finnish crown http://hwbot.org/submission/2775019_sampsa_superpi___1m_pentium_2_celeron_300a_slot_1_2min_43sec_916ms Quote

It was an honor benching with and against you, pushing each other and meeting on Cebit...:celebration: Quote
