Hey there Guys and Gals of OCN

Thread Starter 
hey, i'm joining Overclock.net because i've been reading it a lot lately on ivy overclocking information ready for when i build my new system. i loved the community so much i thought i would join smile.gif

well my name is David. i'm nearly 21 :O and i'm a student of sunderland university studying Network Systems for my degree.
i have always loved gaming and over the past year i feel i have grown into more of an enthusiast. i love hardware. i love keeping my knowladge up to date and the 'nerd porn' of looking at sexy kit people are building smile.gif

i hope one day to become more of a modder and make my own tailored systems and case designs.

i'm currently designing my next big build for myself and should be underway early january *fingers crossed* and i'm hopeing to overclock my 3770k to 5GHz if i win the silicon lottery wink.gif

i will be building this Rig to a theme called "Vamp" with black white and red concepts and a custom designed logo for the side panel. pictures will be uploaded in my build log once i finish biggrin.gif

thanks for reading. pleased to meet you all <3

thanks for the warm welcome guys biggrin.gif

i have thought of one question incase anyone reads my introduction ^.^ and has any knowledge on the subject. (also gona make a thread in an appropriate section). does anyone know anything about the nickel plating of the gtx 6xx series graphics card water blocks from EK also the EK Supremacy CPU block too. i'm planning on getting these blocks for my system and i know EK had a massive issue with their nickel plating previously. however i can't find any information on their latest blocks. iv'e been taking that as a good sign if no one is having issues so no posts anywhere about it. but. better to be safe than sorry tongue.gif
