Yup.. this event was truly a blast. Gigabyte treated all the benchers Very Well!!! The continous refill of LN2 was just awesome. It was awesome to meet and chat w/ all the great benchers at XS in person. Can't wait till next year.

Nah my first QX9650 did that months ago. When OC'd the third core dropped out. Took me awhile to try and figure why 06 runs gave me about 3/4 of what they priginally had. :rolleyes: Running at stock no issues at all with all 4cores. So off to EBAY it went.

Thanks for the title change Fugger (I assume) and nice vids ;)

I can't seem to say enough times how cool it was to meet, bench and hang out with everyone. It would've been nice if it were 1 day longer for us to freestyle bench. I was so out of whack on Sunday, I barely felt like watching you guys OC and couldn't believe some were back down there at 6am LOL. Total diehards :up:

Ton, I was trying to figure out WTF that dual minigun thing was all weekend. I had no idea that was yours until I saw you wheeling it out on Sunday. I thought maybe they were going to use it to finish off any partially dead h/w :D

Hey GHZ

It was a pleasure to be benching at teh same table as you. I was so jealous seeing you push 5.7Ghz.. by the end of the comp.. mine barely did 4.8 :P

Hey BoostedEvo -

Congrats on teh win. You did great on all the benches, and it was even more impressive to hear it was your 1st time on LN2. And best of luck in Taiwan!!!

Yup.. as for the 2 case mods back there, they were both min. Gigabyte asked me to put them on display during the contest, which I was more then happy to do. I didn't people would notice it much, since this was an "OC" event :)

ah so there will be a lot of europeans and mostly crappy overclocks :D (j/k)

i liked those guys that came over to Taipei from Europe a couple of months ago but i don't think any of those guys actually are any decent benchmarkers except for you lol
