Posted January 31, 201312 yr Hey all, Figured I might as well kick off this thread early. Computex is going to be insanely interesting for overclockers as Haswell will be launch during the show. There will be plenty of overclocking demonstrations and events, some of which might or might not already have been confirmed. ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION REGISTRATION Registration is now open. This is the English site: https://computex.leadexpo.com/EN-index.html CALENDER OF EVENTS AND ARRIVALS If you are attending Computex, feel free to post your arrival and departure times in the thread. Maybe you can find someone to drive to town with. Also, you can import this into your smartphone and have the overclocking events with you all the time!

You can use these to travel back and forth with the MRT (metro) or even to pay in 7/11 grocery stores. Let me know if you want one and if need be I'll have more made. - 9/18 remaining OVERCLOCKING STUFF INFORMATION HARDWARE RELEASES - Intel Haswell Z87 platform - AMD Richland APUs - Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 OVERCLOCKING EVENTS Most of the events are still in planning, but as far as I know there will are now 10(!) different shows/events/gatherings planned. Working hard to get them somewhat aligned so you guys won't have to choose; luckily the marketing people are all the vendors are really eager to make this computex an OC blast! (ps: if you're coming, please mention it in the thread so I can forward the info to all the folks in charge of organising the events.

The idea is similar to what we had in mind last year (but didn't go through): rent a beach house ~ 1h from the city, get loads of LN2, some hardware and bench/party throughout the week. Anyone interested in this? If yes, would you stay longer? If there is enough interest, I think we can start planning from March or so. Edited May 26, 201312 yr by Massman
January 31, 201312 yr I'm considering but the flight is at least 600-700 € and that's without hotel any anything else If I got the money in that time I'll come over tho.
January 31, 201312 yr Author Oh, do you have a blueprint of EOC? Could come in handy for the beach-plan thing!
January 31, 201312 yr Yes should still have that somewhere Will check my PC when I'm back from uni later.
January 31, 201312 yr Will hopefully be going, not sure on spare time either side of the event though.
February 1, 201312 yr Author If you're going, guys, consider extending your trip one week after Computex. The tradeshow is usually pretty busy and if you're anything like me, you'll be sticking around the OC booths at the venue most of the time. Not so much time for sight-seeing or so.
February 1, 201312 yr I can afford it, but at $1500-2000 I would rather keep the money and remain: you so ronery lol $1500-2000. . .that is quite a bit of memory to bin
February 1, 201312 yr Crew Really a looooong journey but I consider doing it this year finally... Keep me posted Chris, checking hotel stuff and co atm, I really want to go and get it done ! The longer we wait the higher the prices will be... Edited February 1, 201312 yr by Leeghoofd
February 1, 201312 yr I might be there as well. The problem for me is that I don't know if someone else from my country will come and I'm afraid that it will be a boring 25 hour trip. If you have any info on the hotels please post it.
February 1, 201312 yr Keep me posted Chris, checking hotel stuff and co atm, I really want to go and get it done ! The longer we wait the higher the prices will be... checked flights yesterday and it was like 625€ so quite ok atm but yeah there is no time to loose...need to check holiday schedule and passport / visa things...
February 3, 201312 yr Author Anyone interested in getting a 10-ppl house in city center (~ 600ntd per night) during computex ?
February 3, 201312 yr I am considering a visit for computex and event there after. how soon would you have an estimate how much for accommodation and LN2 etc etc my budget is tight and the flight is already 1000USD ffffffffff......
February 3, 201312 yr Author Just send out a couple of emails to check for the accomodation and stuff. I'm leaving on a trip on February 6 'till the 19th, so ... around March latest. Too late?
