Extreme overclocking workshop - Brazil / and an idea to other countries

[nicolasm]

I wanted to create this thread in another section but it was not possible

Summarizing:

This can be a good idea for people who lives in not so advanced countries - like Brazil, where I live, when everything gets more expensive (from hardware to ln2) and hard to obtain information, etc.

In the other hand, there's lots of people interested, and wants to know where/how to start, with friends sharing even their expenses (FYI: HD5870 referecence card = 800USD / ~580EUR... Brazil price).

I'm not competing in HWbot ATM due to lack of funds.. lol. But doing this job of instructing people, so they can make by their own, and it's already prooved that works.

A great team it's not made of only one strong person, but of the integration of the strong ones, and making the beginners to grow up.

There is some pics:

Some theory









BIOS understanding




My girlfriend, wich is an overclocker too, explaining the socket insulation


Participants doing their own on Biostar p45 (well known to everyone)



Ju Yi, my gf, continuing to teach them, on E762


Insulation by first timers


Some finishing touch



Finally...


A few more tips..


And the rest is with them


Classified starts


They pushing the i7


Probably some good results.... lol


Budget AM3 mounted and insulated completely with what they learned that day (and that makes me really proud)


Detail: morning of next day (see window)... already ~14hours of benching


A champ face: "OMG I can do this" haha


Can't forget the female overclocker, my girfriend, it's getting better than me


That's just the beginning, and this is a tip to all emerging countries. Overclockinking can be done in contries like this, just be organized and help each other.

I'm very satisfied with the results and there's now some new extreme overclockers, that I'm sure they will be improving and improving.

I used just retail things, that anyone can buy here (difficult thing).

Bonus: People came from other parts of Brazil (it's a large country) just to learn this, send me some photos and I did a compilation of they arrival at the hotel, and some other photos. Also a small video of they playing with classified (i never thought that Movie Maker it's so easy to use hahah):

I'm open to critics and suggestions, and I hope this give a push to all beginners to learn, or advanced overclockers to help who wants to begin in this art. For those emerging countries: let's push it ppl
