them , as while the 6000 + offered the more impressive result the FX-55 was on my preferred platform .
Other than overclocking , what other interests do you have which occupy as much time if not more ?
Photography , forums , and lately a good bit of gaming . I ' ve also been doing some basic home renovations and setting up a fish tank .
Outside of overclocking do you do any serious gaming ?
I put a lot of time into Battlefield 4 , but lately Rocket League has been my drug of choice ( not that I ' m good at it , it ' s just seriously addictive ).
What are your four favourite games of all time in no particular order ?
Age of Empires 2 , Far Cry 1 , Half

Life 1 and 2 , Counter Strike 1.6 , Need For Speed 2 : SE and Quake 3 Arena . They ' re all tied for first place for unique reasons .
If you could change one single thing in overclocking what would it be ?
I ' d love to see more manufacturer support again . The lack of support is what killed it for many of us . Other than that , it would be nice to see lower cost hardware with overclocking abilities - an example would be overclocking on H and B series chipsets .
Your general sentiments about overclocking regarding its future for you personally . Is it something you ’ ll be into for as long as is feasible or are you thinking perhaps there ’ s a time when you may have other commitments which may not necessarily allow you to be active in overclocking ?
As it is I have other commitments , but as overclocking is a hobby that I enjoy I actively make time for it . I can ' t see that changing in the future .
Finally , is there anything you ’ d like to say to everyone reading this ? Don ' t get lost focusing on the big guys at the top of the leader board . Those guys have a ton of experience and go through a crazy amount of hardware looking for the best samples , so set realistic goals for yourself with what you have . Make the most of it and remember that you can always do better even without better hardware or cooling .
