OC competition for teens? =)

[Blue Storm]

my very favourite game is Battlefield Bad Company 2, but Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 isn't bad

[moksh4u2]

im 18 and hell yeah id be interested in a oc competition
the thing is im in india

[=SOC= Admiral]

I love my Crysis Wars, Also bad company 2 is good but this last patch really messed it up.

Please not for 3 weeks. I will be on an 8800 after this week and I will be ordering the 470 probably next week.

[carpo93]

i'm 16, but i'll partecipate only to bench challenge

[Oliver]

Great, this is really cool to see.
The more people who gets to interact and learn about overclocking, the better for all .

I only play the games, listed at hwbot

[Leeghoofd]

I'm still 20 , Mean Machine and Oliver can vouch for me, I just have a thingy that makes me look far older...

[Smellydeli]

I'm past my teens and I still haven't played with dice or LN2

hey man, age is just a number .. Was a pleassure, digging out the coolit booth

[TJ TRICHEESE]

yea this sounds fun, im in

BF2 is my favorite but i cannot get the 1.50 patch to work

if we use our rigs this could be a challenge between H2O, jellyrole, metalop1g and myself

oh yea and i'm not changing my cooling to xtreme cooling

[schlafmuetze]

openarena 1on1 tournament with railguns and a score of 10 XD
can anyone tell me how can the most of you get i7 or i5 rigs?

[TJ TRICHEESE]

well its pretty obvious, money and im not trying to be arrogant so please don't take this the wrong way.

[schlafmuetze]

yeah but how do you get the money for i7/i5 rigs? as they cost quite a bit

[TJ TRICHEESE]

just money i had and some more for bday's.

anyway i think we should have a vantage challenge split into two sections, amd and intel

can we do this in like july coz i have exams and i'm working on a little project, but its not going to change my spec's

wow leeghoofd,you are wise beyond your years.your one of the most mature,thoughtful and helpful posters on XS in my opinion.i always thought you were like in your 40's

Yea I got my i7 with my college loan. It costed me an arm, that I"m going to have to give back to the gov in a couple of years but hey. It"s going to last me a couple of years!

Also, after the final exams would be a good moment for all of us(I think) but let"s not all say when it would be perfect for us, because it can,"t be perfect for everybody

[Sadman]

I am 17.
Though still with a crappy p4 3.2(prescot)@3.4(crappy board too....,thank god it has a pcix@16)...(though i think it's soon going to be replaced by a thuban...just waiting for exams to start/end and then to get a job )
I don't think I have any change of competing against you guys

Have used DI at 15 for first time(with my old p4p800 asus ) and last time was 4 months ago where a bided farewell to my abit board....

Some mental parts may still be in your 20s, but I'd rather triple that figure to find your real age.
Besides, if you're going to participate in a competition for teens, you might as well say you're a teen, i.e. up to nineteen years old.

[H2O]

I'm liking BF:BC2 at the moment too.

[Bobsama]

Awesome for all the feedback

Quick question, what is everyone favorite game at the moment? We will have a benchmark challenge, which will also have a small gaming component added to it.
Let's see what first best person shooter ( online playable - deathmatch) would be.

Let's have some fun!!! Let's only make sure that Uncle Hipro5 is not going to try to crash the party. Wouldn't surprise me...

My "favorite" is L4D2, but that's not really a Deathmatch type. CS:S is extremely popular. I suppose BF2 would be a good choice; a lot of younger uni/college students can't regularly afford new $60 AAA titles. As is, the last time I paid retail for a game was back in October 08 when I bought Fallout 3.

[metalop1g]

Oh and yea btw I'm all over CS:S. all over

[m_jones_]

I don't play games at all but i still like to mess about with my pc. e8400 (cooled by a custom loop with 120.3 rad) 500gb hdd 3gb of ram, 500gb hard drive, 24" DELL monitor and the best of all a 6800gt.

It's overkill for me since i run at stock speeds.

[BeepBeep2]

Can we bench BENCHES and not bench games? You play games...and they aren't accurate.

I only play the games that you can submit on HWBOT.org

[H2O]

I agree - games are too variable and it would be too hard to determine a winner.

I think the best way to do it would be the average overclock of the CPU, GPU, and maybe the RAM. This way, people without top of the line systems could still participate. There would need to be some limits (i.e. you can't run a single core on a quad core, and you must use 2GB of RAM), but I think that it would work out better, since most people don't have $3k+ to drop on hardware that would probably win any Vantage/benchmark competition.

Wow, seems like I've been a bit slow , I did not know that this will become popular Um well, I first started messing around with computers at the age of like 7?.... though my dad was beside me all the time, ( usually ).

Now? Messing around with my Core i7 920 C0 on air , also helps my dad Overclock his PC.

Will post some pics up soon of my re-build, its not the greatest but its not bad ( in terms of organization )

Hope you yall can provide me with some tips :P

Also, lets not care about money, or the epicness of your build.

Just keep it for fun, share thoughts on your rig even if you have a P-III, or Dual W56xx Hex-Cores.

Most importantly how "Extreme" you can get with your current rig. ( Try not to go overboard with Ln2 please, at most water and air ), I'm still on AIR No funds to proceed with water or Ln2

[Cookiesowns]

Oh and yea btw I'm all over CS:S. all over

Same with me , allthough location and latency is going to be a B***, my i7 rig is at taipei, and its with me currently, while my semi-bad Q6600 Chip is at my home in California
