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.

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