i'm a member of a tonne of OC forums and some fishing ones. yeah i like fishing when summer time hugs the shore and brings those monsters in close for some decent rock fishing

i run a laptop joint in sydney, have a couple of kids and bench with whatever little time i get left after kids are in bed and wife isnt too shitty with me hanging out in my bench room like a loony

[Deanzo]

Hi guys,

For anyone that doesn't know me, I'm Deanzo and I'm from New Zealand.

Have a wife and one wee girl, and like some others here, for fun I like to bench.

In fact I have 10Kgs of dry ice sitting next to me wanting to be used on a i7 975 and an Asus RE2.

[tajoh111]

I am new here, I appreciate the title of Shameful Lurker.

I am a member of HWC and xtremesystems. At HWC I am sheepdogexpress.

I am canadian. I am a noob to overclocking, but I read about it so much. My favorite bench is probably 3d06.

i'll confirm this Canuck is a rookie...good to see another northern dweller and familiar face here

my name is Jody, and i am an overclockaholic. i have gone 24 minutes without actively overclocking something. it usually doesn't go longer than that. i generally have 2-3 bench systems running at a time for most of the day and the main focus of my obsession is SPi 32M. with that comes a dedicated obsession with memory.

i am not here to get help with my problem, i am here to encourage it. perhaps these meetings don't have the same purpose in mind like the others i attend

The feeling of a magical run that I could never duplicate in a hundred years. And the warm scoldings from a loving wife that thinks I am two builds away from the loony bin!

I am looking for a few good people to teach me the errors of my ways and to take me to the promise lands of 6GHz on air.... 24/7 Biatches! With no more than 1.3Vs of power....

Or at least 5Ghz 24/7 on water with whatever dang v's it needs!!! MUHAhahahahahasign10

This looks to be a cool place to hang out, hopefully the journey would be long lasting.....

Welcome to the forum guys, we'll try to make it as comfortable as possible and reduce the withdrawal symptoms associated with extended hardware downtime, motherboard drying cycles, slow usps service, or forced sessions time-outs by the other half .
