Wow, where do I start.

Before overclocking I was pretty deep into drag racing. Pushing transmissions, engines and rear ends to total annihilation. Religiously modding my death trap drag rig to get any extra tenth of I second I could at the track. From suspension tweaking to weight distribution to EMU/PCM tuning I was into it all. Anything for that extra tenth and a better 60'. Drag racing consumed my life although I always put family first.

My daughter being born completely changed things for me. Less time in the garage and more time changing diapers. Eventually we moved out here to Hawaii where there no longer is a drag strip. Found myself twiddling my thumb with nothing to turn wrenches on. Having nothing to mod or race was driving me crazy. Idle hands suck and boy did I miss the smell of 110 octane burning in the wee hours of the morning.

Little less than a year ago a new Overclocker was born. With absolutely no knowledge of how a pc even worked I dove in head first. Met Kal during a Chroll live stream and the rest is history. Like drag racing, overclocking has now consumed most of my mind and time. Pushing HW to its limits with what tools I have on hand (air, water, dice) has grown into a great passion. Constantly studying specs, procedures, and tweaks from the best out there has helped me move forward considerably.

Joining OCA and meeting all of you has only multiplied my love for pushing hw. Couldn't ask for a better community to be a part of. An "Overclocking Brotherhood" of sorts

BTW, awesome thread Tu
