Hello OC3D, my name is Gary, aka Grumpy Grandad. I am 43 years old and live in North Yorkshire in the UK. I have been married for 22 years, have 2 grown sons and 4 grand kids.
I have been messing around with computers for quite a few years, ever since the 386 and 486, earlier than that if you take into consideration the Commodore Vic-20 and 64 but, when you mention overclocking and water/liquid cooling, I am a complete noob.
I started to look around the net and on you tube and found the Time To Live Customs channel and Tom Logan. I find his videos full of excellent reviews which are very helpful and informative, but at the same time, laid back and friendly, which ultimately led me to here.
As I said above, when it comes to the overclocking and water cooling I get lost. So I am hoping that you guys are going to be able to answer the multitude of questions I am going to have when I start to build my new machine. Mostly I am going to be using Corsair parts in the build and I am thinking Alphacool Radiators and Bitspower connectors but nothing is set in stone at the moment
Hopefully I will be starting the build in the next few weeks, that is if everything goes to plan and I win my Tribunal.
Anyway, that's it for now. I will be starting a new thread when I start the build, and go into more detail about the parts I am thinking about using and asking the OC3D community their views.
Until then I am going to say goodbye for now and speak to you all soon.
Grumpy Grandad.
