Tones OC Academy IV

Tradeshow & OC events by leeghoofd @ 2012-05-06

On the 5th of May, Tones joined forces with ASUS again, and invited the Madshrimps crew to assist the fourth edition of Overclock Academy. This time no trip into the dark woods of Netherlands, but a return to the roots of the first two Academy editions. Keep it small, cozy and limit the amount of invites to a minimum. Thus maximizing the teaching process and maybe doubling the fun. This event had to be rapidly organized. Aim was to keep it as close as possible to the launch date of Intel's Ivy Bridge processors (29th of April). Time to head off to Heist on the Hill (free English translation of Heist op den Berg) for another day overclocking fun.

LN2 Preparation

Our little padawans quickly got the ropes of it and were pushing the Ivies to 4.8-5Ghz during the 3DMark11 Entry test. The humble GTX560Ti's were clocked up to 950-1020Mhz and the rams at 2400-2500Mhz. Pretty fast learners or has overclocking become that simple with all the available tools and hardware ?

While Luc aka Gamer ( our most aged Team captain by the way ) explained how to prep the hardware for extreme cold, PJ ( Massman ) filled up the dewars in the garage.

Four setups in total were prepared for LN2 galore. Some prefer to use erazor gum, vaseline, kitchen roll paper,... soem even bring chinese food cups with them to facilitate the LN2 pouring.
