QA
with Hazzan Jadid
Country Name and City:
I live in the city of Yogyakarta
in Indonesia, one of the major
tourist cities in the country.
What language(s) do you speak?
I speak Indonesian, English and
a little Arabic (lol)
On which forums do you spend
most of your time on?
Primarily XtremeSystems,
OCxtreme, Kingpingcooling,
hwbot and many others
more but I will generally visit
any forum that has some
discussions about hardware,
especially overclocking.
You partnered up with Rbuass,
for MOA 2012; do you think you
two work well together?
We tried hard to work together to
get a great result. Rbuass offered
me a place as a team member
and we all know he is a highly
skilled overclocker. Even though
we had never benched together
before we tried our best.
How long has it been since you
started overclocking and what
was it that got you started?
I was introduced to overclocking
in 2003 and that is actually when
I heard about it first. I was always
excited and amazed at the time
by legendary overclockers
such as Oppainter, Shamino,
Macci, Pedro, K|NGP|N, Hipro 5,
OPB ,Kinc and others showing
fantastic results. I learned
so much from all of them and
continue to learn today.
What is your single greatest or
most memorable overclocking
achievement?
I think it was around one and
6 The OverClocker Issue 21 | 2012
a half years ago when I got the
world record with the MSI GTX
580 Lightning in 3DMark11 and I
shared with everyone how to run
the MSI GTX 580 Lightning. My
last memorable overclocking
session was when I benched at
Asus HQ at an Asus event with
some legendary overclockers
like Shamino, Fredyama and
Andre. It was like a dream come
true for me.
Tell us about some of your
favourite hardware right now.
My favourite components
above all are motherboards
because they are at the centre
of overclocking and VGA cards
for sure. Some of my favourite
brands are from ASUS ROG,
MSI and ASRock after Nick Shih
joined them as they seemed
serious about building a
performance board. As for PSUs
I have some experience with
Antec, Corsair and SilverStone
units. They provide good PSUs
for benching and overclocking
for sure.
Which is your favourite
benchmark if any and what is
your least favourite and why?
I love all 3D Benchmarks,
but my choice favourite is 3D
vantage and 3DMark11. Simply
because when you bench 3D you
need better control. You need to
control both CPU and VGA so it
represents a better challenge
for me.
What is the hardware scene
like in your country? Is
hardware easily accessible
and how is the pricing?
Well Indonesia isn’t a big
country with a huge population
and subsequently large market
for computer hardware.. You
can however easily find any kind
of component. The problem
is sometimes new hardware
will come here a little too late
after its available in the US and
