a couple of months Ivy Bridge will
take the centre stage the same
way LGA1155 crushed the LGA1156/
LGA1336 platform.
Do you think there will ever be a
time where you lose all interest in
overclocking?
From time to time I do step back and
slow down (normally when the credit
card is maxed) but walking away
completely just would not happen.
We have to ask, but to date how
many 2600K CPU’s have you
binned and what was your highest
clocking one to date?
I have managed to get through 29
2600k’s before the prices increase
to silly levels and I could no longer
justify the loss when selling them.
The highest: 5721 MHz and the
lowest: 4800 Mhz!
What would you like to say to
manufacturers as a whole who are
reading this?
Yeah at the moment stock is a big
issue here so please don’t forget
about us in South Africa when
allocating stock to the distributors.
Is there anything you would like to
extend to the community and other
readers?
For sure, The Overclocking
community in South Africa might
be small but our door is always
open and new guys to the scene
are always welcome so if you’re
interested in getting started or just
want to come and watch one of
our team sessions, just drop us a
message and get in touch.
What are you most looking forward
to in 2012?
Without doubt ivy bridge, Kepler and
the hope that our local distributors
could possibly carry stock within 3
month of a product launching.
Outside of overclocking, what else
are you as passionate about and
spent an equal amount of time if
not more doing?
A good game of golf is always
welcome and I am starting to get
into a bit of racing (carts and RC
cars) but most of my time is spent in
front of a PC.
What do you do for a living and what
does your typical day look like?
I work as the supervisor of the HLS
department for one of South Africa’s
leading developers and suppliers of
Time & Attendance, Access control
and Data collection solutions. All our
hardware and software solutions
are designed in house and my team
is responsible for the QA testing,
documentation and ultimately releasing
the products to the sales team.
Any final words?
Yeah, thanks for the interview and
the time you guys spend getting
this mag published. Keep up the
good work.
