Tones Overclocking Day - LN2 Overclocking Academy

Tradeshow & OC events by leeghoofd @ 2010-08-17

Saturday 14th August 2010. A Day that would make one person attending the Tones OC Academy a wealthy man. This event being sponsored by Tones, Asus, Corsair and Intel. 6 lucky winners from the Madshrimps competition entered the arena to compete with 4 other winners from the Tones compo. Main price was an amazing hardware combo consisting of a Rampage III Extreme, Intel i930 CPU, 6Gb of Corsair ram and an Intel SSD. To top it all off a full copy of Windows 7.

Some more piccies

Oh no, even more Gamer baldness

Luc aka Gamer still going strong (even at his age) teaching the young paddawans how to get it done. I even think I will get it right next time :) Good job old chap.

Thomas' I5 setup, trying to breach 7Ghz, which he finally did. Too bad his 7130Mhz valid was not saved :(

Showstopper should have been the 4 way SLI GTX 480 LN2 setup. I said should have been as problems arose even after 10 minutes of benching. Trying to debug the problem, took far too much time and it was pretty hard to get any stability during the Vantage run. Either it heavily artifacted, dropped SLI, rebooted or just crashed.

One of the artifacts screens, finally it was one card that gave in, probably the rams got too cold and it messed up the whole record attempt of the day

First pre-testing done:

Hey boys and girls,

Are you ready?

Zonet even snel de setup getest om te zien of alles werkt. Op een PSU na, geen ENKEL probleem gehad ... super dus! VGA kaarten waren nog volledig stock (koeling én clocks); kwestie van nog iets in petto te hebben zaterdag, hé 8)

Comment from DyNaRaX @ 2010/08/14

Het was plezant.

Thx mannen

Comment from Teemto @ 2010/08/14

Great to see the guys live. Definately needs a sequel (with more willing 4-way SLI). :-)

Comment from leeghoofd @ 2010/08/14

Glad you guy sliked it, some already knew the ropes of I7 OC'ing. Which infact is pretty simple with I7 reaching 4-4.2Ghz...

Thansk to the Sponsors again : Tones.be, Asus (Milan and Rogier), Intel and Corsair...

Hope to repeat a sortlike event next year...

Small article, with some piccies is in progress...

Next year, I'll be there

Too bad I didn't make it this year

Comment from Massman @ 2010/08/15

It was really cool to meet people who are interested in extreme overclocking, but are not doing it at the moment. It took me back years ago when I was in the same position. I really hope all the people involved had a good time and are getting more interested in the overclocking-thing.

Thanks to ASUS and TONES for hosting the event!

Comment from Gamer @ 2010/08/15

Tja, als je voeten open liggen moet je iets doen niet ?

Bedankt om het op te merken.

Comment from dafour @ 2010/08/16

Aha zo weet ik dus nu wie Gamer is.

Nogmaals bedankt voor de info!

Comment from Massman @ 2010/08/16

It's "Uncle Gamer"

One moment : your nick name Roelientje --> at first I thought you were female lol --> Then someone told me your real name was Roel :

Possible Options for my brains :

1) so either your family name is Ientje or Lientje
2) or your girlfriend's name is Lientje
3) or you just made your name up

4) Share the piccies all

Comment from roelientjeL @ 2010/08/23

Why roelientjeL ? I just used some random letters to create this name, haha!

Well enough explained?

too much info

Comment from roelientjeL @ 2010/08/23

hehe, fixed it

Comment from jmke @ 2010/08/23

I was joking Roel...

Comment from roelientjeL @ 2010/08/23

Haha, ok I'll re-spam it!

Well... about eight years ago I had this group of friends and we all had nicknames. Guess what, my nickname was Roelientje, lol.

So I made my first msn adress with roelientje, but it was already taken so I added this letter 'L' (I still don't know why this letter, it has nothing to do with my surname).

Ever since then I used this weird name. If you can come up with something better, go ahead! Until then, I'll use this name and accept te fact that people think I'm either a man-lover or a female (or just someone nuts).

Neither of those things is true, btw.

Well enough explained?
