GeFORCE GTX680, do you think it
will take over from the HD7970 or
do you feel both are still needed for
different benchmarks?
I saw the amazing achievements from
Tin and Kingpin, with the external
Epower. I have never used the MSI
HD7970 Lightning, but I would love to test
one but at the same time anxious to get
a GTX 680. Once I get both cards in my
hands, and see what other overclockers
are able to do with the cards, I will be
able to give you my true opinion.
What would like to say
manufacturers as a whole who are
reading this?
I would like to tell you that
overclockers are very good marketing
for you. They are known as the guys
with great skill and knowledge so
when a component is recommended
by a great overclocker, people buy
based on that information.
Is there anything you would like to
extend to the community and other
readers?
If you are an overclocker, keep
pushing, if you are not an overclocker,
you don’t know how much fun you
are missing out on. Do not waste a
second more, start now.
Outside of overclocking, what else
are you as passionate about and
spent an equal amount of time if not
more doing?
I am Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighter, a
3rd degree black belt, and spent
more than 20 years in competing
when I was younger. Now, I train
and fight only for fun and overlock
competitively instead (lol)
What do you do for a living and what
does your typical day look like?
I am Mechanical Engineer, but now
I work for Corsair, an amazing and
very supportive company I must say.
I’m quite happy being part of the
Corsair family.
Any final words?
I would like to give thanks to the
guys who encourage me and
inspire me to compete and learn
and improve and sharpen my
skill including the overclockers I
consider friends that make this art
so much fun. Shamino, Kingpin,
