[Russian]

It was nice seeing you all, and i will post an ungodly album of a few 100 pictures within the next few days with pictures of EVERYONE including the winners and group photos.

[Gautam]

Miah was definitely the star of the show. It was a blast to see everyone again and meet the guys that I haven't yet.

A huge thanks to Gigabyte for treating us all like royalty again.


P.S. for the record, I do apologize to the kiddies.

[Buckeye]

One cheerleader for Buckeye here.
His first competition..

Thanks Dave, wish you had been there !

Yes it was my first event, and first time actually having others around when clocking, needless to say I was a bit nervous about the event LOL.

Special thanks to GIGABYTE for such a super nice event, they really roll out the red carpet for everyone. Angela, Rita, Ilene are so super nice it's not funny. Fantastic hosts I must say !!

Special thanks to Angela for being such a great host and so very nice !
Rita is such a crack up and soooo CRAZY HAHA
Ilene is super nice also and was great to talk with

Sitting in a room with all these great clockers was a real treat, everyone was very friendly and cool, had a great time talking with you all.

Sitting next to Titon was a real treat, very cool guy and a great clocker. He brought his son in on sunday, super cool kid there Titon. Poor guy tho., Rita comes over and hugs all over the little guy, he was like OMG DAD !!!
Very nice tho watching him poor LN2 for you and helpping out. You a very lucky guy Titon !

So many people I met for the first time. It was really good that 3OH6 and Gomeler had to sit next to each other, those 2 guys are NUTS !!

Charles was so cool with his machine. He was just sitting there all cool like, just upping his OC each time some one beat his, and he would counter. It just looks to easy for him. Popping fuses with his machine was priceless LOL

Was great to see DrWho again and chat with. Allways a pleasure to be able to chat with the big guy

Vapor, Maxi, Gautam, Ross and all, it was great being able to meet you guys

Big thanks to Punx/Shannon for being there and providing moral support, cheering me on and being a great LN2 runner for our side of the table.

Thanks again GIGABYTE and everyone for such a fun experiance !!

Congrats Miah.

[miahallen]

Congrats mia! its too bad you didnt have enough time to bench after 3 hours of prep work haha. I would have liked to see that gpu fry.

I was glad to meet some of you at the competition today (buckeye, 3oh6, mia) and hope to be competing sometime soon.

I guess I should have paid more attention to the schedule....but who pays attention to a schedule after drinking that much?

Congrats to Miah ... and all the others, being in this list of OC masters is an archivement by Itself, See you in Taiwan, and get ready to break some serious world records then!

The count down is started

Francois

Francois, such a pleasure to meet you, I'm really looking forward to it

Eh Eh for sure we'll have great time

I still waiting for the confirmation that i'll be there but I'll try everything that I can and to be honest the live broadcast from EU fianl was totally awesome ! So i think giga's will love the way of doing that for the WW final !

Well, I hope you can make it.

Back home
Thanks Gigabyte, the event turned out good for everyone, good job on hosting.
Really good to see the familiar faces and guys I never met before.
Grays Miah, Jeremy, and Mark
See you guys at computex

Really great to finally meet you Charles! See you in Taipei

For the record, Charles beet my 8M score, but I got the points since he was only playing for fun...very nice work on your runs Charles, even though I wasn't playing against you, you still kept the pressure on, and kept me pushing the whole way through. It was a lot of fun going back and forth.

Miah was definitely the star of the show. It was a blast to see everyone again and meet the guys that I haven't yet.

A huge thanks to Gigabyte for treating us all like royalty again.


P.S. for the record, I do apologize to the kiddies.

It was really awesome to meet you G, and I hope we can bench together again soon

Congrats Miah.

[Brian y.]

you would of been looking even more hot had you bumped up your memory clocks


Here are some random pics I took at the event. Gigabyte did one hell of a job hosting this event.



oh and hicookie....get some sleep man!!!

[massman]

Who insulated his memory with green eraser as well? Looks kinda funny

And ... eh, I think Hicookie went from Prague to Taiwan, stayed there for one day and then flew to LA. Pretty tiring

[Brian y.]

That was gomeler's setup, he was benching with sticks that were not Kingston so they had painters tape on them to hide the manufacturer's name.
He left in the middle of that run to get his stuff out of his room because it was getting close to check out......

[THRASHER2]

The Event was GREAT!

Here are the Scores from the event

[Russian]

Guys, i have about 200 pictures.

I've got pictures of EVERYONE and all of their setups. I just need to host them on our site, and its not looking too pretty for me right now.

If it doesnt work out within the next 24 hours, i'll host them on my photobucket and just go buckwild on this thread.

[Russian]

Will Intel be providing 975's ?

Well, im sure francois can answer that question but... i dont think he's allowed to or has an official answer.

[massman]

Then we need to develop a secret code. Francois, say "golden" when yes, "sand" when no" :p
