Another CES event that rocked and I hope everyone enjoyed what was brought together by the sponsors Intel, AMD, MSI, Gigabyte, Corsair, Kingston, EVGA. OCZ, Thermaltake, Kingpincooling, Futuremark, and Swiftech.
Pole Position Raceway was a really good choice and I would recommend it to others, everything went perfect I doubt it could have gone any better.
AMD brought in Chew and Sampsa for the Phenom overclocking that went good on the setup and running for the entire duration of the show. There was a huge projection display to be setup but parts were missing. Thanks Brent and Aaron for filling in everywhere you could to get things going smoothly.
Mike from Intel brought a tray of wet your pants for us to pick through, a wide variety of batch numbers to test on LN2. The rest is under NDA, sorry guys
Robert from Corsair wore out the track while Jake offer his pour hand and helped the Intel team score a world record in short order. Corsair had GTX memory and 32GB drives for give away, Gabe and K|ngp|n were two of the lucky ones to get those.
Angela, Sherry and Eric from Gigabyte had a few demo's setup, I would love to have seen Angela mixing it up racing.
Ryan aka The GoatEater benched for MSI during the event, he was given a golden chip to run with, Deanzo, Mike and I plugged away at some benches on that machine during the night, everything went good without failure.
Mark from Kingston had a demo setup as well as got busy racing, Bulgarian dinner was good.
Ramsom from Thermaltake hung out most of the night and pretty sure he raced a few times, he brought 1200w PSU's for the benchers.
EVGA brought in Peter aka Shamino this year to push the Classified board for a world record, backed by K|ngp|n, Gautam, Mikeguava, and Cpt. Planet pushed for the two GPU world record using i5 670 @ 6.5Ghz and ATI' GPU's in Crossfire.
OCZ had nice stuff for the benchers and for give away, the guys got SSD drives and DDR3 memory to take home. Memory for the prize winners as well.
Gabe from Swiftech had a silent rig setup with the new water block and a few blocks for prizes to the race winners.
Vince made it this year bringing his newest pot design to help deliver a win for the blue team this year.
Thanks to all the sponsors for coming together and making this event possible, If I keep planning bigger we might be in space in a few years.
Movieman made it back this year, if you didnt have a chance to chat with him at the event he would still love to hear from you so give him a call when you get a chance.
Samspa and Chew made it in for the benching on AMD, reaching 6.5Ggz to run 3D benches. The quad gpu's on LN2 looked nice
ScottLv made it out again this year, a legend here at XS for his contributions to the DC team as a long time leader.
