AOCM 2 - Awardfabrik OverClocking Meisterschaft

The weekend of the 25th October 2008, Geoffrey and I switched on the traveling mode and decided to pass the weekend in Minfeld, Germany. Why? Because of the 2nd edition of the AOCM overclocking LAN, of course! Meeting up with very talented overclockers from around Europe, we spent an entire day using LN2 cooling on various setups, as so did our fellow overclockers. World records and subzero cooled hardware inside.

Introduction

Overclocking events are starting to pop up more and more. In the past, overclockers did the actual benchmarking at home because it was more relaxed, you could do anything you want and there was an unlimited time frame. But ever since the overclocking community became more international due to forums such as XtremeSystems and OCXtreme, people are not staying at home to overclock anymore. Nowadays, many people meet up to overclock extreme and we can all agree that bench session became much more fun than when you're alone. Since a few months, there are even a number of international overclocking events, mostly organized by giant manufacturers. These events make people from around the globe to come together and talk about their most favorite hobby: benchmarking.

This weekend, the second edition of the AOCM has held in Minfeld, Germany. AOCM stands for 'Awardfabrik OverClocking Meisterschaft', which is the main forum of many German overclockers. Actually, the people who made the event possible are all crew members of the Awardfabrik website and forum, so this event was made by and made for the overclockers!

Arriving friday night @ 1:30AM

After a five-and-a-half hour drive, Geoffrey and me arrived at the Minfeld sports hall where the event took place. The event started at 10:00AM, but many people were still active and chatting about with the other overclockers. Entering the building, we noticed the professionalism: everything was well-organized, not at all chaos and most importantly, the moment we entered we were offered a drink! A few hours later we unpacked everything we had brought along and tried to get some sleep to be wide awake the next morning when the actual overclocking took place.
