Tradeshow & OC events by leeghoofd @ 2010-05-31

Date: 28th May 2010, Timezone, well, euh.. Dutch time zone? 3 Belgian overclockers start to drive at 6 o´clock in the morning towards the city of Eindhoven. Target was the MSI building. Mission : could we get one of the two Belgian teams through the MSI MOA Benelux finals. First prize a ticket for two to Paris, the city of... overclockers. How did the little Shrimps do? Read on to find out!

So that is all folks for now

OC Team BE brings home the gold

Objective off the day obtained: one ticket for our two best overclockers to the Euro finals. We already discussed it before as my voltmodding skills are almost non existent, that Thomas would join Massman in Paris to get the ultimate ride towards Taipei.

Again another live event that turned out quite right for us. Even though it was with a totally new motherboards for and I think for all users participating we had our knowledge of e.g. the OC Dashboard and its quirks ( after a crash unplug it, otherwise it won't work at the next boot )

Lynnfield was not new to us, GTX480 was. Thanks to Walter again for sharing the GPU core trick, we will definitely need that one in the near future. Not a bad day at all, bringing home two fuzion boards and two MSI GTX 480 cards to bench on with the team.

2nd place was for Viss and Expat Griz, 3rd spot for Johnny and Pascal. Thomas closed the ranks. Just in defence of Thomas' performance, Massman tried to run a few tests on his setup... bad bad CPU...

CPU's insulation was amazingly good, zero condensation


A big thanks to MSI Netherlands and Tweakers.net for organising this fun event, thanks to Corsair for the PSU's and rams. Let's hope the Paris event will be as fun as this one was. Good luck Thomas and Massman, we will be crossing our fingers!

Finally a picture of the MSI team that made it all possible:
