Enjoying a new hobby

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Hi Everyone,

I've been interested computers since I watched my brother pull out a soldering iron and fixed a TRS-80 Model III and wrote a flight sim game based on original Battlestar Galactica Vipers with it when I was barely tall enough to see on the desk. I've been programming since high school and building computers since slightly after that. I've built a lot of computers, but I've never actually been much on overclocking. The most I did was underclocking and undervolting to make computers more efficient. A friend got me interested in overclocking and watercooling and so I'm jumping head first. I'm bringing to the party my methodical engineering nature, so I hope to be able to learn new things and have a lot of fun.

Thanks,

Darren aka Davron

Oh and I've already jumped into my first experiment with a 2700k, apogee drive II and MCR-320. I hit 5.0 GHz last night after carefully and methodically working my way up and documenting everything it took for me to get almost stable (at 10x IBT very high). My real gear comes in this Friday and I'm going to document my build and display it with pride.
