Hah Id love to, but i have nothing to work for. Also the best I am at overclocking, is with the asus software. Wich no one else does as far as I know, they still use bios. Id go past 4400mhz on my 2600k, but yea... I need this to last 3+years with no problems. Anything past 4400 mhz makes me have to go from 1.320v to 4500mhz needing 1.43v+ just because I got one of the chips that require high voltage cause intel cant make everything the same 😞 but then again who can.

Dude do have to bitch about everything? Look u say u have nothing to work towards if u oc, well why don't u ask some of the pros here what they work for. I know for a fact that most oc'ers do it because someone said it can't be done and it's fun.

@ the sponsers- I want to thank Brian and staff for a great event. Also want to thank Asus, CoolerMaster, Kingston, Patriot, Antec, Razer, Intel and special thanks to CPU magazine for picking my mod for the cover of the magazine.

@ all the pros- I want to thank all of u for the help u gave the Noob! Until next time we meet! I had a blast!!

Went to the event Sunday learned alot in just the short 10 mins I talked to JJ about overclocking on the M4 Z68 challenge.

Looking forward to you guys hosting another community event in San Jose or the Bay Area.

2x what Junkie says

I have put in thousands of hours at this point into the gaming and OC community and have gotten very little in return.

He's right get involved and it will pay off.

Thanks to Brian for putting on a great event.

I got some free beer courtesy of Brian, and some great prizes too.


This case I won from Cooler Master is just a tad bigger than what I entered for the Case Mod competition...

Them are nice earnings yes I agree you bust ur ass off, but dont assume that I never tried to do shit, I blew over 1200$ when I made my first rig trying to do the same as you because i was new at overclocking. I was working with 3x Q6600 G0 Stepping cpu's while using the asus p5n-d and had Terrible results blowing out two till i said im not touching this again with the 3rd one. On top of that I tried case modding as in the case its self just doing some paintjob, and had crap luck with that because I am not a artist, and everything I did was terrible looking and just threw out after i seen the after math trying to fix it to where the screws were tightened and untightened so much that they were stripped and from my frustration i often kick things and well I kicked the crap out of the cases.

Im not talented
Im not smart
Im not a artist
But for one thing, I sure the hell do appreciate what everyone else can accomplish and not once will I say man thats weak I can do better, Ill never say that because I cant, I praise always, and no Im not saying you said any of this.

But congrats guys looks like asus wont have a problem ranking up now with these winnings from everyone. Can someone say people need 500k for extreme bracket a ticket?! haha.

also im not being a dick im just saying it how it is everyone here should know by now I fail at trying to word things so I just said screw it on this post and just typed it how it is literitally haha
