Cold Front in Michigan [Event #1]

[chew*]

It's been a very hectic past few days but now it's all over and I have some time to relax and share some experiences with you.

For those looking for more indepth content I highly refer you here >>> http://ln2cooling.com/OC_Events/Michigan_OC_1.html

This post will be just a summary of the event with some screens and pics of what I thought were highlights of the event.

I would like to state that we had so much to do and so little time that a shotgun approach was taken and in no way were any benches tweaked for the best results possible.....Quantity over quality.

I might add single card 5970 results were a tad dissapointing on day 1 due to needing an updated bios to allow the cards to work with catalyst control center, etc the cards were run with a driver installed only. We had no time to rerun them.

Special thanks to our sponsors Ln2cooling.com, AMD, Gigabyte, and PC Power & Cooling ( division of OCZ )

Board prep, a little prevention goes a long way.

I belive this is a new Vantage record for AMD......

Once again special thanks goes out to AMD, Gigabyte, and OCZ and a big thanks to Aaron Schradin of www.ln2cooling.com for putting up with me and taking the time to perfect pots with my feedback that were almost perfect to begin with.. :up:

Where's 32M ? :p: (ignore, just have seen the last post in other thread :) )

"Most Individuals In Room = 9 people and 1 cat" :rofl:
The cat starts to be "must have" on sessions :D

I highly suggest going to the link, there are links to many many pictures of the event and those who were there.

32m is the UD5P's achilles heel so I didn't bother, there is a right tool for everything. I will use the right tool when the time comes ;)

Cats are a must have on all bench sessions, just in case you epic fail you can blame the cat and static :p:

[hiwa]

:clap::clap: nice runs

[Raiderman]

Good stuff! Thats an impressive Vantage score!

[Buckeye]

Very nice Brian and all. Aaron puts on a great benching party thats for sure :)

Good job and very nice results ! :up:

Hopefully I can snag a valid next time around.

On Helum with a Crosshair that chip could be THE ONE. Of course, since it was just any chip to start out with, it appears that almost any chip has a good shot at being THE ONE.

Awesome. Headed over to LN2cooling.com now!

Been there, here's a direct link to the beauty shots!

[Billy-The-Kid]

Nice socre, pictures and CPU!!!

[bartx]

Awesome scores :) You've got pretty much humidity here. I've never seen something like that :rolleyes:

[chew*]

Yep, lots of humidity but I'm used to it and have adapted, the methods I use to prep boards are bullet proof now. I can bench with snow, ice and water on boards and they just keep on chugging along.

I have even benched with no pot insulation, other than losing a few degrees due to lack of insulation no ill fates as seen here.

Instead of fighting it, embrace it and use fans in various positions to create cool frost sculptures :)

Actually, it's very low humidity in the basement this time of year. It was just a testament to the looooooooooooong bench session!

[MTP04]

Nice AMD clocks:up:

[Genghis Khan]

We are compiling a few short clips of the weekend into something more "useful." Where is the best place to post those? Youtube?

Or on the Michigan Cold Front page? I was trying to find a way to post them here on the thread and it seems to be a no-go.
