opp looks like my grandpa!
the lan area dosnt look to shabby :D
yeah, more pics please:D
i´m waiting for benches :(
Hehe, that is Runmc, PC ICE, and Chilly1 :D Btw guys, yesterday was sort of just setup and preliminary testing, ppl still arriving etc. Today they bust out the LN2 and have some more fun :cool: No one had cascade on the 512mb X850's yesterday, just on CPU's. And yes, OPP and FUGGER were having a little trouble with the ATi boards, but Macci was doing a little better I think. Also, Macci made it through customs with his LN2 unit..... today will be fun :toast:Quote:

So far I have met in person OPP, PC ICE, FUGGER, Chilly1, Macci, Runmc, K|ngp|n -- this is too cool! :banana: Let me tell ya, they are just cool everyday guys. Especially PC ICE (and I think OPP too), who stood up for me when the ATi rep wasn't too pleased about me hanging around behind the yellow caution tape without at VIP badge ;)
Holy crap none of them look ANYTHING close to what I thought they did. What about FUGGER and Macci? And whos rig is that with the cascade on the CPU and the stock X850? What boards are they using?
omg, nice pics. Keep 'em coming. I still don't know what Fugger and Macci look like :) Nice to see the masters finally ;)
yeah really would like to se how macci looks like :D
Hmm... Now i'm confused :) Here's a "comparelink", where you can see what i mean:Quote:

In Denmark, we have a book series called "Find Holger".. Could the much discussed "ATi Secret" be a series of "Find OPP"? :p:
EDIT: Ok, seems to be answered, Saaya :p: (it's runmc, not OPP)
AFAIK, he's around 22-25.. there should be a pic of him somewhere here when the EE came :)Quote:

Awesome guys! Damn, I wish I was there. Looks like a helluva lot of fun.
I can't wait for more pics!
Two pics from last night:
PC ICE's -80C Autocascade (single stage):

He is a very cool dude! :D

Opp's beast of a setup. He and runmc are chatting behind it.

Chilly1 playin with some LN2. They were having some trouble with it evaporating in the feed tube iirc.
http://photobucket.com/albums/v223/t...th_TXGF008.jpg
Just.. wow.
and some pics of macci please :p:
Actually, that's a great pic of him, in his element, not posing. :) The teampuss pic is OPPAINTER. He used to have a pic of himself in a tux, as his avatar. ;) BTW, I haven't been around the forums here in awhile, hi folks! :)Quote:

I think that board will sleep well tonight ;)
Oh how I want to be there now :(
How old is kingpin? He looks really young...
nice... :banana:
Wonder what they discussed during the dinner. OS tweaks? Cooling? The latest episode of American Idol?Quote:

Alright! looks like fun!
Looks quite nice
Jvlk, My The board was running good, I was pushing for 4Ghz and and was in windows at 3.754Ghz trying to pull a superpi. Dont quote us and say things that are not true. Opp may have been getting fustrated but me and Macci were doing good. We my not be able to beat everything on the planet at this moment. We have had only a few hours on the new systems and we have a few boards lined up untested. Today things may change and Opp will rip us a new one with GPU clock (Hello, 2005)
I posted from Chilly1's Laptop -- FUGGER
Love the cooling systems there ;)Quote:

OMG.... I dont see any Fugger pic posted yet? :-/

Did anyone notice the look on that lady's face in the background? Priceless. I have gotten that look many times from my GF.Quote:

It's actually more interesting looking at the faces than the rigs, you don;t see them as often ....

LOL
nice pics guy's
en inderdaad wreed raar mannen zenne :) Maar wel pure meesters in't overclocken :p:
Wish I was there myself :slobber:
and I'd think people'd be serisuly freacked/ staring at eh 3 funny men taking smoking liquid out of that big old jar there :p:
LN2 hu? :)
oops, sorry that was the alcohol talking. Yeah I see now that that is a young male person there. Still the look he has is priceless :DQuote:

Btw, the bandwidth here f00kin SUCKS! :mad: Slow as molasses in January. Just these few pics takes ages to upload, even just surfing the net is slow, slow.
PS: I look like such a schlep in pics :sick: It pains me to see my mug posted on the net. Reason I'm saying is b/c I'm holding one of Chilly1's GPU units (about to do some lapping for him) in some other pics, not of my taking.
great work TB, finally see what Fugger looks like. Keep'um coming :cool:
Very nice. I'm pretty sure thats Maccis rig with the LN2 GPU since the NB has a cascade on it.
lol, i cant believe i confused runmc and opp :doh:
looks like the action is finally starting over there :D
I just met flyinghamster and ocmyface :cool: We've been chatting a lot with bigtoe from OCZ while watching runmc and pcice and a few others mess with ron's setup. Anyways here are a couple more.
Another one of Macci
http://photobucket.com/albums/v223/t...th_TXGF010.jpg
Opp's setup
http://photobucket.com/albums/v223/t...th_TXGF029.jpg
Another of Macci, this time while he was being questioned (they had all 3 speak, Macci+Opp+Fugger)
http://photobucket.com/albums/v223/t...th_TXGF032.jpg
Another of Opp, sorry for the image clutter but it was crowded along the lineup
http://photobucket.com/albums/v223/t...th_TXGF030.jpg
Here are a couple pics of the LN2 lines frosted over
http://photobucket.com/albums/v223/t...th_TXGF035.jpg

Have they run any benchies? :p:
Ron's setup?? I thought he's just a visitor...
Oh, btw SUOMI=Finland on macci's shirt... :D
Go macci!
and thanks for the pics! keep 'em coming... :cool:
Maccis still on cascades? Damn wheres the crazy ln2 action?!?! Is he saving the uberness for tommorow?
benches!!! :D
looks awesome :)
Cheers for the pics :D
thanks for the pics! Will they be getting r520s soon to bench? :D
a camera team :eek: who are those guys? tv?

please elaborate on this, is it a custom design by the user or an ATI tool that we will all get to play with.Quote:

here's a link to a review of one
http://www.overclockers.com/articles1184/
and the link to the manufacturers site. hope this helps
http://www.uxd.com/
thanks for the link snvpa. was totally oblivious of such a device :p
the "forced start" on this device might help folks having boot problems with nf4 mobos thats been occuring lately.
man i am exhausted. finally get to sit down in the LAN area and chill and play some games after hours of standing. it was really fun though.. gettin to meet everyone. towards the end, all of us XS'ers just kinda sat in the back and chilled. we were watching pc ice, he was tryin to hit 3.5ghz on his newcastle. he got VERY close. hes gettin some new toys, and told me to watch for 4ghz soon :)
ill post the pics me and oc my face took soon. time for some CS Source :D
hrmph...i figured every single one of them would be over 300 pounds considering how much they sit in front of a computer. As it turns out they are all skinny so i stand corrected....

Wahahaha ... I can see whats coming next .... overclockers with groupies :rocker:
:D
What have they achieved so far? Is the event finished?
Anyone have more pics? Video clips would rock. Especially interviews with the 3 masters. :D
Cheers.
You know PC-ICE if he had dark brown hair would look almost exactly like my slightly older brother, kinda weird, lol. Although my bro isn't into overclocking, so the similarities end there. The rest of the guys look like they could all be my dad, lol! I suppose you have to be older with a good job to really afford the big costs of extreme overclocking.
there are intwrviews of pc ice and some others in the news section :)
just text though

Jason aka. Mickeymouse is the guy punching up the runs today .....

do they allow to do voltmod on the ATI motherboard ?
What rig and cooling is jason running on there?Quote:

I'd assume they allow Vmods since I saw OPP probin away at the board in one of the early pre NDA figured out pics and they ARE using ln2 so its all going to die anyway :p:
he should borrow Ice's cooling while he is there and do some real benching. It would be funny to see someone other then the top 3 actually win.
They should post a count on how much hardware they killed in a week end :DQuote:

Well that's most of them. If anyone wants to use them that's fine, just say who took 'em ;) I should've taken a lot more, but I was just having fun being around all these guys. They are all really nice, neat guys, it was very much worth the long drive to be there IMO. Just at this one event I met in person:
OPP
PC ICE
FUGGER
Chilly1
Macci
Bigtoe (OCZ)
Andy (OCZ)
Runmc
K|ngp|n
OCmyface
Flyinghamster
Matt9669
Donebalp
Hope I'm not forgetting anyone.
Man that was awesome!!!! :rocker:

If i remember correctly he lives in vegas, id even go pick it up when i go to visit a cousin who lives there and went to UNLV.
Seeing all this just makes me wanna go vapor even more and REALLY get back into benching.....good god it's gonna be hard to tell myself "no" to benching after seeing some of this.
isnt it monday already in dallas? nda is over?
