Hi everyone, just joined (recently)

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

Hey guys, thought I would do this as you said it doesn't take that long and it is nice to feel a part of a family

I am TheMadDutchDude - I spend a lot of my time playing games on my computer or configuring the hardware in a different way for example overclocking it further (on air) to see what the max of my CPU is, depends what I am busy with to be honest. I usually do it when I am bored and I have hit a limit, 3.44GHz on air, stable on an E2140 @1.525v. It refuses to go any higher, even at 1.6v it won't boot up at 3.48 so I think I have hit the FSB barrier, nevermind.

Well, that is a little bit about me, I look forward to helping people on this forum and maybe even becoming a reviewer for OC3D in the future!

Current rig is as follows:

Antec Nine Hundred

MSI P35 Neo2-FR

Intel E2140 @3GHz - 1.35v

AC Freezer 7 PRO

GeIL Black Dragon 2x1GB @750MHz 4-4-4-12

Gainward 9600GT 512MB

2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB 32MB cache in RAID0

TT TR 470w

XP PRO SP2

Next upgrades:

Intel Core2Quad Q6600/Q9550 (depending on the prices!)

ThermalTake 700w modular PSU

Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme

Modding to my case - I am going to be spraypainting a selfmade (5 min job! ) peice of work on to my case which will personalise it and make it mine, seeing as I am the only real TheMadDutchDude/TMDD in the world I thought that might as well be on my case!

:wavey: Hello mate and welcome to OC3D. You sound like an interesting character

Welcome to OC3D, nice overclock on the E2140.

Persist with the good overclocking and you could bag yourself some trophies!

 

[Luigi]

Welcome

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

Thanks guys.

What do you mean I could get some trophies?

 

[gotmaxpower]

Thanks guys.

You could enter some competitions, and by trophies I mean't prizes.

There are often competitions on this website offering a range of exciting things.

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

Ooh

I would love to enter them, though I stand no chance against other people who have higher end motherboards than me, and DIce

Hi Mate and welcome to OC3D, nice to have ya here and good to see another overclocker in

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

LOL thank you.

Overclocking is great fun (apart from when you burn out the CPU! LOL!) I haven't managed to do that yet which is a good thing, haven't really pushed it far enough I don't think but I really don't want to be pushing it any further.. I am worried that I would have to buy a new motherboard and CPU, and whilst still in debt to my dad for my current parts.. doesn't sound like a good idea to me. Although the CPU was free from another forum buddy

*psst* Unleash the hounds



Yeah those speakers are kinda broke though, the volume slider broke and they're getting a little bit old now. Going to try and get hold of some newer ones ASAP, this time around they've got to be louder though

 

[°TheMadDutchDude°]

LOL Antec Nine Hundred.. snap on that too!

Yeah they are getting a bit old, mine are over a year and a half old now but they're fine to be honest.. just a little loose on the back connection for the right speaker so it doesn't work some of the time..

I've been after these for a while now - my financial status disagrees though.
