still have the advantage of binning but I like the idea of that anyone could be lucky and buy a golden product of the market. Also it’s not a good thing that people working in the industry are competing with people benching from their basements. HWBot is doing good work experimenting with how to divide the overclockers to make it more interesting to compete. What do you do outside of overclocking that you spend as much time on as you do overclocking? Overclocking is still my main hobby, there’s nothing I spend as much time on even if I’m not actually benching myself. I casually play Dota 2 though and the last two years I’ve been travelling around a lot in Asia and Europe which has taken a lot of time and money. Outside of overclocking what is it that you do and what did you study or are currently studying? I’m at the end of finishing my Master’s degree in Microelectronics. The interest for this subject actually came through overclocking and I’ve always had an interest in technology. Through the studies I’ve been able to go deeper into how these things actually work. It’s also a lot of fun actually being able to create things through engineering; most recently I put this into practice by creating the eVc. Any other insights you would like to share with the community regarding overclocking, hardware or anything related? I hope high performance components and extreme overclocking will still be around for years to come even with the trend of things moving more and more towards mobile. Don’t stop trying to reach the highest performance and stay out of the drama guys, there’s too much of it in this industry.  [ The OverClocker ] 10 The OverClocker Issue 29 | 2014
