No one asked "why is there a gun here?"

Props to all involved...must have been a blast and a good opportunity to meet the people behind the names

Hey Gautam,

It was nice to meet you over at the contest... All the benchers were focused on the contest, so I didn't want to break the mood.

If you walked up to the case, people would have known. I put a little sign that said: "Please Do Not Touch!!! - Ton"

LOL.. well.. i guess the President of Gigabyte didn't see the sign:

Dinos22 that is the first rude thing I have ever seen from you.

I'm sure Dino was just joking around

[dinos22]

Dinos22 that is the first rude thing I have ever seen from you.

ROFL dude
i don't think you understood what i was saying

we did an overclocking event in Taiwan recently for Gigabyte and all the European overclockers invited except for Pt1t were some no names which never saw LN2 or pots or really overclocked........in fact a few of them were underclocking their systems during spring break. What my point is is that GIgabyte should really go find some proper overclockers from Europe and there are tons of great guys including the ones you mentioned

lol how could you even thing i would say something crazy like that hehehe

[cadaveca]

Heh. You guys. No canada competition either! NOt quite a global thing, yet. I thiunk most real good clockers are Europe-based..something in the water, I think!

[TheKarmakazi]

looks like an awesome time for all involved! congrats gomeler on the nice placing for only 2 bench's! congrats also to all the winners, thats some nice DDR3!

[sno.lcn]

I didn't get many pictures but here are some. I took even fewer during the event.

Bringing the LN2.


Gom with the LN2.




The pile of some of the hardware we got to play with.

The guys from Europe for the most part were hardware reviewers and gamer-oriented. No worries though, they did a lot of testing that the rest of us weren't willing to do, we preferred 5+GHz

[mop231]

im a gamer but would like to play with quads and others do 5.5ghz would be nice !

They are gamers in europe but when you look TOP 20 Hwbot country ranking, a big part are european

polish guy was really nice but he was just an employee of some system integrator that sells a lot of hardware

he wasn't really an OCer or anything

give me anyone from Poland and things would have been so much better

i was quietly hoping i would meet Masell heh

[Benny Lodewijk]

Fugger, let me guess. Did DJ Colin from Gigabyte provide the music during the event?

very funny hixie......

[Yellowbeard]

LOL....hey Gom, in the 2nd pic you posted, you look like you are caressing that tank.

"Bobby, most states won't let you marry an LN2 tank".

[T_M]

Thats the first time ive seen someone pouring LN2 using a pot

[[XC] gomeler]

Can't be LN2, his fingers would be frozen to the pot. Maybe it's dry ice or acetone?

I love me some LN2, especially if it's free

[G H Z]

Hope you guys dont mind the thread-jack

Not a thread-jack, it's nice to see some of the SA guys

[TraX]

Its DryIce, no LN2 was allowed at our venue... Hopefully we will get it right next time round... Still makes for a cool pic though

Thanks GHZ Good of Gigabyte to set all these competitions up & then one final with such an internationally diverse turn out, I mean how else would we all get to meet each other face to face And not to mention these events are so much fun

[Vivi]

BTW did your boards freez up? we got coldbug on the boards at like -75 my board froze up :?. and u okes use Ln2 . not to mention the coldbugs on those 9600gt's.

check United team of Poland top 10 or 20 and get 'em all

if you sell a lot of hardware you can check it all the time and get a lot of good chips

Coldbugs and coldboot bugs were all different due to the different processors. Mine had CBB at -98C and CB at -104C, pretty decent. My 9600GT had CB around -10C though if I had to guess, complete fail I can't wait to see coverage of the final event in Taipei, it'll be nuts!
