necessarily out of many vendors’
comfort zones, even more so while
under media scrutiny. Everyone
who has ever attended a live
overclocking event, be it MOA, GOOC
or even just a LAN party, knows
that a lot can go wrong during
live overclocking and there is a
certain pressure to perform when
allocated a small timeframe to
deliver a result. The overclockers
representing ASRock, Biostar,
GIGABYTE as well as MSI not only
had to face all the pressures of a live
event, but bosses and management
watching over their shoulders.
They effectively represent an entire
company! Thumbs up to those who
had the balls to do it.”
From the conversations I had, it seems
that AMD is very eager to organize more
of these types of extreme overclocking
events and as such I’m looking forward
to that should it materialize. In the
meantime, enjoy overclocking your own
AMD processor and perhaps get a little
competitive in the process. It doesn’t
matter if you’re just using your FX 8350
CPU or A10 5800K on an ECS, MSI or
GIGABYTE mainboard … in the end, it’s
just a game!
