flanker Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Guys, are u remember at your first LN2 overclocking? There will be many oldschool guys and I would like to see some shared things, photos, funny stuffs etc propably 2010 year I found few photos of my second LN2 experience. I was there with few friends from Czech hardware forum, no one of us had experience with LN2 OC and we had also 3 daily "highend" computers cooled by aircooling. It was fun, bad I did so many mistakes... At isolation setup, at fans (In reality it was intake airflow directly to the board , no outtake airflow) First experience with coldbug (WTF is it, I thought that time, very bad control of CB issues) But overall, it was fun and I saw in my hands few 6 GHz runs at Phenom II and crazy scores with 980X also.

der8auer Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I think my first time with LN2 was during an Awardfabrik session which I think was around 2007/2008. No_Name (Michael) was a great guy and a good teacher My first LN2 rig with my first LN2 container. I'm not sure but I think it was E4300 and 8800 GTS in SLI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Island Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I cant believe my first time was 2014, it seems so much longer, it's basically when I really started overclocking. I like to pretend I have been doing it for a long time but not really. These are my first and second sessions 780 ti kpe, with cpu on water just because I really only cared about benching the gpu to see how high I could get the clocks to go. Had just heard about hwbot in 2014. Edited February 1, 2017 by Strong Island Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaPaKaH Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've started with this hobby on air in early 2000s, but it wasn't until 2005 until I had my first subzero experience. Stuck around on 939 for a while until migrating to 478 and 775/C2D for what feels like forever. That's how insulation and pots looked back in the day before things got really professional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flanker Posted February 2, 2017 Author Share Posted February 2, 2017 Awesome stories and photos. One of the best quotes is from Mr Albrecht , "Tom Cruise" of HWBOT aka Massman https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/66364457/HWBOT/Gigabyte-Overclocking-Qualification-Round-1-leeghoofd-26639.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreekPhantom Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 So, it's time for the young (maybe too young) part of hwbot to go extreme. A couple weekends back i had the chance to overclock alongside Phi and Sofosl, and damn it was a great experience. Learned a lot of new things, from ocing till ln2 handling... The vent was the " Greek League of Legends Finals" for 2017. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
