Nick- Kow_ciller (you can call me kow, or Dex)

I'm a soon to be 3rd year college student. My main hobbies are PC gaming, and of course overclocking. I've been building computers since I was 9, and been benching since I was 12. Started benching with my Athlon 1ghz and radeon 8500 that I volt-modded and made a custom cooling setup on it. At the moment I'm rocking a P55 platform, and bought 775 setup and a Dragon Evo pot so I can go cold over the summer. Up until a year or so ago, I would mostly overclock for fun, or get a higher FPS in my games (which I still do to some extent) but since hwbot changed and I actually have points I've been addicted with it.

Here I am probably the first Team OCX member here

Just saying hello and thanks to Splave for helping out with registration


I cut off benching for about two years and now I"m back since March and started with some budget CPU grinding and collecting some oldschool GPUs which need to be modded and punished soon. So I was looking for vmods but unfortunately best place with such info- vr-zone database was down So I started searching other forums and after seeing your growth in hwbot rankings decided to check it out.

Didn't find much info about vmods I needed here but in general I'm quite impressed what you have achieved in such a short period of time- so far I really like your forum structure and team spirit. I guess I'll drop in here as regular as our local and OCX forum

regards, Austris (I doubt you can pronounce my real name right as it isn't typical English )
