Oskar Wu @ DFI ** XS Exclusive **

DFI was kind enough to escort me over to DFI headquarters and meet with Oskar Wu in his lab, once again no picture taking allowed.

DFI is located close to the new convention center being built in Taipei, quite a distance from where we were exhibiting.

This is the world famous Oskar Wu in his lab where he was maticulasly working on the P35 Lanparty board. We talked about old boards and new boards, design changes and what we would like to see.

He is 28 years old and one of the finest engineers known to be working on our performance boards so enjoy the rare images of Oskar from his lair.

Oh my good a picture with the legendary Oscar Wu :shocked:

That guy is so good in bios engineering that I even doubt he really exist in real life - he is like an urban legend !!

Great Charles, that's another big scoop for XS :clap: :clap:

Any reason to not post this on scoop on the public part of XS ??

:confused:

Thanks for the pics. I didn't realize he was only 28. Seems like he's been in the motherboard business forever.

That makes some sense, if I remember Oskar Wu came from Abit, so that may remember to Oskar his former employer:D

I can see it now:
NEWS FLASH!
An International incident occured due to a local Las Vegas man wearing the wrong T Shirt while on a tour of a Taiwanese business.
Taiwan has severed diplomatic relations with the US and is now preparing for war. The US is at DEF-CON2..
When questioned,the man involved, Charles Wirth, simply said:
"Ain't they got a sense of humor?":shrug:
Then he was led away by unnamed intelligence officals..........:ROTF:

Hopefully he will post at least in this section every now and then. I am pretty sure he could give us some good advice with some settings or other things.

If he was born in 77 he would be 29-30, as that was the year I was born and I will be 30 soon.

So that means if I was born in 1970 that makes me 26 correct:D ....P.S....Thats my little brother in the Avatar after he auditioned for a spark plug commercial with his final runner up outfit on//////:D

The key word there is IF...and you were probably smoking by 1970..and it would be 36 or 37 depending on what month you were born in..:D

LOL Fugger making friends... First he beats the crap out of Fatal1ty now he wears a Abit shirt @ DFI...

/wonders if Fuggers next friendly move is to take a C2D laptop with a G80 GPU to AMD's headquarters... :p:
06-10-2007, 12:41 AM

Sorry to be the grammar Nazi, Charles, but that 'maticulasly' or however you spelled 'meticulously' is quite glaring. :p:

And yes, that abit shirt in DFI is a bold move. Maybe Oskar's expression is indicative of this. :o
06-10-2007, 12:46 AM

It's nice to put a face to a name/legend. :D

Also tell him that since they are the only mobo company not to use :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ty heatpipes( and By- God i hope it stays that way),i'll be looking forward to the DFI P35.
Good benches pending ,of course.:)

If he is 28-30 know, how old was he when he design the ultra-d? He must have been quite young...? Nice Abit shirt though.........

This man is my hero.

I never realized that DFI's HQ was so, well, crummy. Compared to Asus, or Abit, or Gigabyte, those are clean, shiny, and new. DFI's looks quite the opposite.

@Fugger: great picture and nice shirt xD should've made a photo-story like you did with fatality :D

ONE request to OSAKR & DFI.. launch things a bit quicker... I know testing and all takes time but not 2-3 months... dat too after rivals are out with boards.

NF7-S FTW. Greatest. Board. EVAR. :up:

DFI NF2's wern't bad either (IIRC he worked on both the NF7 for ABIT and the LPB/Infinity for DFI). Good ol' AXP's and 3.3V without mods for BH-5.

Oskar is indeed the man, it's crazy to think he's been cranking out amazing results since at least his early 20's, if not earlier. I think his softmenu bios, which I believe was the first jumperless overclocking iirc, deserves more credit than any other thing to bringing overclocking/tweaking into the mainstream.

Thanks for the pics Fugger.

Very good FUGGER, but holy hell mate, clean up that hair.
Anyhow, I guess I have some computer history to learn as I have never heard the name Oscar Wu before I came across this thread (I know, the shame).
Alas, one can't know everything from base one.

@ the office messiness: I like it, it's casual and lacks the sense of big company feel that makes DFI, DFI :up:
I'm very very excited that DFI and whatnot are opening up and letting you have a look at their labs, shows that this place is growing with you in the lead.
On a closing note, what came of the Old/New/what you would like to see?
Did he seem like he'd look into some requests or?

I had no idea Oskar was so young! I was thinking he was at least around our age Charles, never the less tha man is a ledgend and genious cuz to this day I still consider my D.F.I Expert the best motherboard I have ever owned and that goes for all of the other 8 NF4 & 2 N590 builds I have built from D.F.I for customers just pure engineering genious and my Experts system to this day runs like a raped ape and is rock solid server class stable!!!

Way to go Charles I envy you & to bad we never got a chance to meet before I moved from Vegas to Lake Havasu a couple of months ago!:up:
