    Talking Top Aussie newspaper writes an article about Aussie overclockers and Team.AU

    Hi guys

    Looks like my 5 miliseconds of fame are up. Asher Moses from SMH (member of this OCAU Forum) has contacted me to do a story on us crazy overclockers lol. To my great surprise the article appeared on front page of Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) shortly after the interview today.

    It's good to see mainstream media pay attention to us geek extremists i guess.

    This article also mentions Gigabyte Open Overclocking Competition which will hold world finals with the likes of hipro5, kyosen, giorgoprimo and many others competing. Here is the website link for the competition in Taiwan >> http://gooc2008.gigabyte.com.tw/index_en.html

    Here is the article link: http://www.smh.com.au/news/articles/...857526238.html



    Let me know what you guys think of the article

    They should print a retraction - you will not be the only Australian at the competition in Taiwan
