Massman Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Something I always wonder ... who are the people that are an inspiration for others to get into overclocking. Post your list of maximum 3 global and local overclockers that inspired you to start this crazy hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Antinomy Posted December 20, 2010 Crew Share Posted December 20, 2010 falc, t0p_VD (local guys) and TiN. His article "born to crawl..." touched my heart. But more I was interested by THG (yeah, they're Prommy and LN2 adventures) and overclockers.ru at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Crysis (the game) : to overclock my gaming setup to run it with full settings, and I saw that overclocking was funny so I started HWBot. Then Turrican : to overclock every hardware I can then Massman : to do some weird score, like worst score possible Edited December 21, 2010 by Christian Ney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenchBros Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 My really first reason to start overcklocking was: more FPS in counterstrike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harshal Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) It's going to be "Team Japan" and "Shamino". I do respect James, Dave, Charles and Vince for their straight forwardness!! above names are for "extreme OC"! else in '99 it was pure need for speed aka higher FPS and faster renderings Edited December 20, 2010 by harshal addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calathea Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I bought my first computer from elmor, asus p5k and overclocked celeron d 420. Built a homemade water cooling system really fast and I guess that's when I first got interested in OC. That I would abuse my hardware with ln2 never crossed my mind, but things change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
