so...
i have been OCA for some time now... kinda haha
not as long as most the people...
people here are very nice <- at least to me

but how OLD is most the overclocker out there?
i never thought about this
and when i did..
omg it just blows my mind!
like when i saw some people's got a [WIFE!] or [CHILD!]
i have always thought overclockers are like somewhere from 18~25ish
when i saw that chinese/tiwan overclocker he looks like he is in his mid 30s
can overclocking become a JOB?
i mean like a job that pays well? <- i know if you do you can get all kinds of toys [cuz pre med is really hard!]

i have always wanna ask how every looks like? and what you do? if that's ok

i am a student and that's all i do, i go to school do my classes requerments and overclock...
oh yeah! i look like that guy in the picture haha

i have always dremed of become like some kind of pro overclock that's all over the oc-wr dashboard......

oh yeah! one last thing!
i was looking at the hwbot and ripping
why we don't have like alot of submits on it?
like i am just waiting...
on the day when i become the team member i'll have mutip things got to put on it lol

I don't have any personal pic's handy bud :(

There are Overclockers that pick up jobs in the industry at different tech companies. Some the eleet guys like Peter Tan aka Shamino and Vince Lucido aka Kingpin get paid for overclocking and other things.

Its a tough segment to penetrate but if you're completely committed to it, I'm sure there are no mountains you can't climb. Some of us here are part time enthusiasts while a few are chasing their Overclocking dreams with a vengence.

Kooling will always be a pivotal factor in you're success. I wouldnt wait to submit you're benchmarks at hwbot and start making a name for yourself buddy

Snazzy digs you got on in that pic, looking good

Mid-30's

you look good, remind me of some chinese hollywood actor, the villain kid who was in Jackie Chan's Police Story I guess,

Yeah most of the overclockers are part time enthusiast, except for few exceptions ofcourse. Most of us can dream of only getting sponsored hardware, getting full time paid is for l33t of the l33ts....

29 here.......
