MSI's LOOC Competition Ends with Accusations of Cheating...

[Kayin]

I have a bit more perspective on this than most.

I did EXTREME overclocking for a while. I hold the record for the Shuttle AN35N Ultra (250FSB 1:1 with a hard Vcore mod) and had a DFI Infinity that I ran over 260FSB in the AXP days. At the start of 939, I had chips that tagged 3GHz on water.

About that time, sponsored OCers came about, and I never could compete with those pocketbooks. I left, and while I can still clock really well, I'm not playing the "spend my disability check on hardware just to beat Trace" game. I'm still not truly out of n+1 syndrome, but I'm getting better.

<3 you too Kayin, <3 you too.

Let's hope TBCS can get overclock sponsers!

I have the knowledge, but not the budget to hand your tail to you. That said, I don't see it as a contest. If one person beats the record, we all rejoice in my book. If I can lend you some knowledge (and prerelease products) and get you there, we all win. I lost my pride in that area long ago, rather choosing the long view.

BTW, Trace, LMK what you need from me those two days.

Please, be on hand on MSN or something for assistance and advice. I wish to learn!

[Kayin]

I'll figure out what I can do and let you know accordingly.

[Trace]

Thanks!

So do you expect Trace to up and slay me?
