Many thanks to Renaldo (rbuass) and the sponsors for making the trip possible and showing us around the city and beaches.
Chew and I were brought in to overclock AMD and Intel systems live for Campus Party, Chew armed with a decent Deneb and I had a Clarkdale i5 670 to choose from. Gigabyte sponsored a portion and we both used the newest P55A and 790FXTA boards. Everything went better than expected, Chew went up first and carried most of the weight with a rock solid system to round off a bunch of benches to wow the crowd, Renaldo went up second while I brought my untested P55A up to speed, we had a DOA board that gave me a small set back but was easy to overcome with a spare board on hand. Both Renaldo and I reached 6.3Ghz live and ran our benches in unison showing speeds and scores, increasing speed after each bench till we topped out. It was a really good showing, impressive numbers were hit without any hard crashes. I was able to work around a -77c cold boot bug for the event.
Here a bunch of pics from Sao Palo and Santos, enjoy.
