Hipro5 benching live at Athens Digital Week 2009 - Live Streaming

[Trouffman]

Isae hipro said that he was bluffing

(George_o/c here )

ah ah ah

[Marco André]

Nice timing dinos

[AndreYang]

I heard 6.46G 1M WR, but 6.46G gulftown is a noob on hipro5's level.

[dduckquack]

lol quick smoke under the desk

he figured the vapor from ln2 would hide the smoke

[George_o/c]

I heard 6.46G 1M WR, but 6.46G gulftown is a noob on hipro5's level.

Unfortunately I couldn't stay more at Athens and see George benching 3D (3x4890), so I got onboard and traveled again all the way to Crete. When I left the event about 12 hours ago, he had the 1M WR, 6.3GHz+ 32M run (not going to reveal the score ) and then started 3D benching.

And something funny, from my conversation with George. I was out of cigarettes (I'm usually smoking Old Holborn - rolled cigarettes are the best, but due to the fact that it's hard rolling cigs while benching, I bought multiple George Karelias and Sons ). So I sneak under the desk (I'm the guy with the pink T-Shirt) and ask s@39@ for a cigarette (a pretty light one).

hipro: What are you doing with that light cigarette George, take one of my Prince. They are for real men.
me: And what about George Karelia and Sons ?
hipro: They are for grandpas (at that point I started laughing )
me: And what about Old holborn ?
hipro: That's only for university students and gay men
me: I'm a university student, so I don't have to worry for the gay part...
hipro: You filthy gay man


I'll post some funny videos and photos later.

Wow many Georges at same place... :-)
I was watching during the F1 race, we didnt get much numbers, can you guys run with another monitor pointing towards the cam? :-)

EDIT:
Oh and dont know if any of you guys noticed, but chatting as well :-P

[George_o/c]

AFAIK the guys stopped benching about 2 hours after I left. That means that the event has come to an end nearly 10 hours ago
Yeah many George's indeed

[George_o/c]

Lots of photos as promised

From left to right (applies to every single photo included in this post):


sofos1990, s@39@, pastelidis.n.s., George_o/c


Pastelidis trying a new OS for 6th time. I blame sofos1990 for that. His luck sucks


s@39@ always smiling He's drinking tons of redbull every day


Nerds having a good time




ROFL. I can't pull that off.


There you go. Smiling again.


sofos1990 showing off his pure muscle power


LN2 vapor ftw!


Stelaras talking with zafiropo on the phone












linos80 & dellman. Special thanks to these two guys, and especially to linos for organizing that great event




zafiropo desperately trying to boot that 6.5GHz E8600. It's a pity that his Rampage Extreme was weak and we only managed to bench @ 6GHz


These are the days of our lives


mortisboy & giorgos.th


Legendary bench. Various great Greek overclockers benched there, during the past four days: zafiropo, benchzowner, crio, tsan, hipro5, giorgos th., crustytheclown, phil, mortisboy, TASOS


360L consumed in ~56 hours. Let alone the other 180L LN2 dewar that's not in the photo.


giorgos th.'s and mortisboy's bench rig. That damn' i7 860 couldn't bench 3D at more that 4.6GHz


George_o/c and giorgos th. It's visible isn't it ? I'm like two th.'s


And of course, the superstar aka hipro5 aka grandpa






ROFLMAO - random photo



Now for some moded rigs. Some of the moders were 12-13-year old guys. Now that's what I call passion

































AND THE WINNER IS... linos80 with his aquarium pc











Last but not least, two videos. The second one is REALLY funny. If you want I'll translate what these guys are saying... we're mostly laughing at crusty and hipro , in a friendly way though

LN2 refilling - by pastelidis

crustytheclown drinks LN2'ed wine

[Monstru]

Great stuff crazy Greeks!!!

Am I too sleepy or s@39@ looks like a real young dinos in the first pic?

[George_o/c]

Nah you're right, they kinda look alike Thanasis is 23 years old though (cough, cough)

[hipro5]

You filthy dinos...
Were you with the "trigger" ready to "arrest" a screen like that?.....

I heard 6.46G 1M WR, but 6.46G gulftown is a noob on hipro5's level.

I was FIRSTLY tested it in that event so I was afraid to push it more because I have forgotten to bring the map-gas with me so I HAD to "take it easy"....
I didn't know where it cold boots or where it cold bugs so I was precautious....
I was working on the EVGA 760 one...

About a few minutes upon finishing the event, I poured FULL LN2 in it and it worked fine...
Though I'll re-test it but I don't have the time to do so this week....maybe next week....

P.S. We CAN'T call these benches (or any other ones) "WRs" because they aren't.....They will be ONLY if people can BUY such CPUs and play with them......For the time been, they are only "screenshots" or "showoffs" or call them as you wish.....

[BenchZowner]

Best thing I have read on XS in October month

George, can you reveal one thing, using the yellow t-shirt, did you get the lead? :-)
Also, another question, where was the garlic? esdee wasnt there?

[Zeus]

Haha, so that was it...hiding under the desk every 5 minutes smoking gay cigarrets huh?

Shame there was no cam pointed at the monitor but it was nice to watch you guys in action.

I bet you got some "smokin" results, haven't you?

[pastelidis]

Esdee was not there...

If esdee was there now we will say that we had an explosion at athens digital week...!

[Bullet92]

Yeah it was nice to watch you in action and recieve infos on live chat. But it was nice to gossip you on it too
We know for 1M,32M and 05 results, now waiting for pics.

And yeah, where are the babes George

[pastelidis]

The live chat at overclocking-tv was the best because whatever you said for hipro in chat room I was telling it to him...

[Zeus]

And yeah, where are the babes George

Oh, i guess you missed it?

George was the babe!

[sofos1990]

The conversation at chat room was nice
lol dinos lol
I think you were waiting with your finger above the printscreen button for the cigarette moment

[Bullet92]

Nah, that babe we were looking all the time

sofos, he doesn't have to. George was smoking every 10-15min under the table
