ROG event thread :)
 

Got all my goodies modded and ready to go.

Heading to airport for 4:00am, gonna need a bit of coffee or ln2 vapors for that lol

ROM and I will be arriving around 10:30 in cali.

Really hoping to score a 580 matrix, or another 580 CU II now that mine died.

Strategy = have fun and spread the OCA benching spirit :thumbsup: Really pumped to hang with Patchie and Bren again! Very lucky guy.

Will update continuously

This is gonna be a blast! Hot damn, Al, you're a motivated man with all those cards. I'm just bringing MIVE + 2600K + my lone 580CUII. Also hoping for some sweet ASUS engineered 580 cards, but I wouldn't cry about a lesser card to play with.

Was gonna bring an 01 setup for Sat night hotel benching, but figured that with 2 long benching days there's a good chance we'll want dinner and beer instead.

I work Friday and promised my boys we'd go to Cars 2 that night so I'll be driving over early Saturday am. Since I won't be able to check in that early I'll pop by your room and wake your lazy bones up at 7am. :Hi:

sounds great dude :D cya on saturday :D drive safely

thought about the hotel rig too but thought the same as you :D

seems its going to be a blast i miss getting ln2 lol

so anyone going to stream it live ?

What day you leave home Splave?

tomorrow morning at 4am :)

Any pics ?

Man, I'm tired! Was a blast seeing Splave and Rom again, and finally meeting Goat. Saw some familiar faces and met a lot of good guys from around the states. Was especially nice quaffing a few cold ones with Gunslinger.

We spent a good chunk of time working on a quad-sli 580 matrix setip that unfortunately didn't pan out with a completed bench. But I finally got my hands on an expander so can revisit that another day - thanks Brian!

I'll to post up a pic or 2 when I get home from work.

Bummer on the 4-way bro's, glad to hear you guys had yet another nice gathering. I hear Gunny smashed up some benches pretty good over there. Heard you guys scored some decent hardware for the travel too. Good Show gents :)

got some pics with my iphone at the event:

Great to see you guys and sorry the 4way didn't work out...still nailed really strong clocks with those Matrix cards tho for sure.

Thanks to Jonathan (Wumpus) for the pics, he is a great lad who hung with us most of the weekend. Also thanks to G man for stopping in, it was a fun weekend.
I just got back into Dallas and its so fricking hot and humid its redonkulous. I think Jesse (69 goat), Patch, Sprave and I did fairly well in the equipment draw and I know we had fun most of the weekend (when shit was workin, lol) Big thanks to Brian Jang and the whole gang from Asus, they put on a great event. I don't have allot of pics as I was pouring all weekend, but I will upload them shortly.:thumbsup:

Had a blast at the event as well. Was really nice to finally meet you guys, had a good time at dinner. Definately going to have to look into one of those nice travel cases.

So glad to hear about everyone getting along and being classy with each other :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Thats the way its gotta be :clapping:

Now whats this about some 4 way benching over there?

My lone pic.

here she is :)
perhaps a little crazy of us to go after with 4 untested cards, and board we've never used but crazy seems to work for us about %67.84 of the time so what the hell. The 2nd card sure pulled a massive load. Almost uncontrollable on slims. I think in the end it was the 1.5vGPU minimum that quashed our hopes. Please note the fan on the cpu pot is for style points not function.
