ARandomOWL Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Kitfit1 was the first guy to get me interested in extreme things and made me join Benchtec. Since then, evocarlos has pushed me further into minus temperature figures Reading TiN's crazy modding adventures has dragged me into modding my hardware in new ways as well, rather than just making it cold.

RB, y u lost the grip?! Quote
uncle fester Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Judging by your signature Marc is sin your new man crush ? Massman will be disappointed. Quote

Massman Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 Massman, he could be my daddy! I am a time-traveler. Quote
sin0822 Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) I like to quote sin0822 and change what he says and suck on his dick because it is the most fun thing I have the ability to do Honestly dude I do what I want, when i want, and how I want. You are going to cross a line we cannot come back from. oh also Hipro5 did get me into modding things. Chilly1 got me into phase change, but i hear we shouldn't say his name out loud anymore, but i was gone for 5 years so i missed a bunch of stuff. Edited August 26, 2012 by sin0822 Quote
M.Beier Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 hahaha, damn you Sin, I was just about to have dinner, and now I got stomach cramp from laughing. Quote
der8auer Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Start overclocking: lack of FPS Start "real overclocking": HWBot Quote
I.M.O.G. Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 (edited) Joe Citarella and Ed Stroligo back in the day, for regular overclocking... Reading their stuff, as well as community articles Joe published got me interested. Brolloks, Dejo, Dolk and others on my team got me into it for real by putting together a benchmarking party in November 2010 which I didn't bench at, but I bought a dewar just after that and started learning.

ƒ0rteOC Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I had an old Emachines T1100 with a 1.0GHz Celeron processor. I wanted to increase performance (I was a total n00b back then) so I googled around and found overclocking! Of course, I have built my own machine since then... Quote
Splave Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 aquamark3 got me started for realz, benching XFX AGP 6600 GT in the first rig my brother built me and kept pushing from there. Ive always admired Vince, shammy, dre, nick, hazzan, AU guys, Greek guys, Japanese bros, hell I think most of you bastards are alright Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 31, 2012 Crew Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Global: Hipro5, Eva2000 and fatal1ty-----> loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool Local: Bassman, Blind and Geeemer Got into overclocking as I couldn't afford the CPU and GPU of a friend/clan mate... Plus at local LAN parties there was always a cup for the fastest PC... 3D01 and AM3 where the benches back then... Games from the dark ages :Quake 3, COD and MOHAA Edited October 31, 2012 by Leeghoofd Quote
