CPU Pot. It is fast and heavy. For
GPU pots I love Kingpin’s FatBoy
with the black extension and
anodized body.
Which is your favourite
benchmark if any and what is
your least favourite and why?
I love all the benchmarks 2D or 3D.
I love 3D benching more because
of the modding side of it. It just
shows how dedicated one can be. I
don’t like 2D benching because of
the binning side of it. 2D benching
does show how efficient you are
though.
What’s your current platform of
choice for overclocking?
Ivy-Bridge is insanely fun. Intel
really put out a great platform and
awesome silicon. RAM clocking
goodness and lots of overclocking
room because of cold bug free
conditions.
How is Ivy-Bridge treating you so
far and how many CPUs have you
binned so far?
I’ve tried one or two, unfortunately
my luck has ran out. Both CPUs
have cold bugs.
Do you bench NVIDIA or AMD
graphics cards mainly or do you
not care and bench the fastest
one at any given time?
I loved NVIDIA more than AMD
before, but now AMD has really
done a good job with their 7-series.
It’s a tie for them right now.
Who do you normally bench with
and how often do you bench?
I bench 95% solo. With the work I
have I hardly have time to bench,
but I do bench weekends when
time permits. At times I visit my
