Default hey

Hey, I just joined.

OCM and i were talking over at OCN around the time of SB launch, and he suggested i check out this site. Finally got arround to it.

So yea.

I like overclocking.

I have a F1 gemini, and no GPU pots at the moment. My favorite thing to bench in Phenom II because of how epicly they scale in the cold. Intel is fun too.

Stuff that i currently own that i am benching:
-i7 860+P55-gd80
-Phenom 955+TA890FXE (i also did a few runs on the athlon)

My best OC is 5.578GHz on an i5 650 using dry ice. link

My favorite benchmarks are 01 and superpi. Wprime is fun too.

My HWbot is in my sig. Not very good yet, but i am working on it.

My everyday rig consists of:
-Athlon II 240 (planning on getting a 955)
-2GB OCZ ddr2
-Foxconn destroyer
-GTX 590 (still in the mail) currently a 6870
-TX750 psu



And i live in california. That's about it.

Is XP really that much better for SPi?

I know for wprime it is, but it seems about the same for spi on w7.

Welcome to the forum
Some nice results considering you've only been at it for couple of months
Loads of knowledge here, anything you want to know, ask and I bet atleast 1 person will have the answer straight away
