New Members: Post your introduction!

Hello, i am Chris, i am new to overclocking, and watercooling, after tons of lurking thought i might as well join so i could ask questions and get help if i need it (i will haha), these forums have been in valuable for knowledge when i was building.
 
Hi all
About to put an old Swiftech 220 kit onto my 2600K.
Came off a intel D820 dual core.
I'm into advanced video editing, need output vids fast and my pc take foreeeeeever and absolutely COOKS!
So far just putting a 220 rad on with old D5 pump, hope its enough otherwise with add a 360??.
Also the pump has run 24/7 since 2006, wondering how long it will live??? still queit and great performer.

Cant wait to get started... :D

Cheers.
 
Hi all! Been reading your stuff and watching Tom's YouTube videos for quite a while. I think Tom's DETAILED take on everything is just unmatched. Couldn't resist joining ya... :)
 
Hi everyone, just saying hello as a new member. Just a quick heads up about who I am, unlike like many of you 'Im from the telecommunications industry ie I deal with telephones and PABX's etc, I did start in the PC industry putting together minicomputers back in the 80's (anyone remember z8000 server cpu's lol). I still build new PC's for myself and friends and I love using Linux/BSD and yes I do use windows as I view all OS's are just a tool with their good and bad sides..

Hello everyone. My name is Timo R and It's nice to find a serious hardware forum where I'm not shouted-down as a "nuuuub" just because I'm not a millionaire.

Strangely enough I actually still game on my 5 year old laptop. Acer 8930G with a lovely 18.4" screen. I upgraded in 2011 with an x9100 (overclocked 13.5x266 bus speed to 3.8 ghz and a GTX280M seated on a CM U3 with noctua pressure fans. I Play @1080. My main game is BLR. I do not like military games. I wish the world was a better place.
 
Hi Folks. My name is Ian Horsfield but you can call me The Horse (Nickname from last job as a IT Engineer which has just stuck) or just Ian. Anyway I've been watching Tom's Youtube channel for a while now and finally decided to join. OC3D. I Plan to do some start doing some reviews in the future. I'm currently working on a watercooling project for my Gaming rig using a Alphacool Monsta 360 and Heatkiller blocks for my 3770k and 7970 Ghz card. So I'm planning on doing a review on how it turns out and maybe a build log to. I'd also like to do a review on the Phobya Bench Case I brought for the project as I love it. I know Tom has already done a review on it but I'd quite like to do my own just for my own amusement.

Anyway time for a bit about me. I'm a big gamer. I love FPS games and RPG's mostly. Not really into MMO's I tried Guild Wars 2 and Warcraft but it's not really my thing. My favourite game series at the minute is probably Assassins Creed (I can't wait for black flag). I'm also a massive rock music fan. I mostly listen to European Metal bands that nobody ever seems to have heard of.

Anyway that's a bit about me. Hopefully soon I'll start writing a few reviews to get me into the swing of things.

Hiya guys and gals,just joined after hovering around reading on the forums and watching Tom on YouTube for a while now.Decided it was time to come in and join in the fun and games.Iv`e been building my own systems for a long time now but never ventured into the overclocking or modding side, everything was done at stock.
The first time i saw Tom on YouTube i was hooked on his videos and now have my coffee ready before i sit down to watch.At the time of writing this ,i can almost say with certainty i have seen all of the videos on YouTube and read a fair few reviews so i`m not coming in here as a total newbie although iv`e never oc`ed before.
Feels good to have taken the leap and joined.I can say that i will be in and out when i can as i am disabled and cannot always sit in front of my PC.
So anyway ,glad to be in here now and i am here to try and learn and if at all possible help if i can. Thanks for having me and looking forward to chatting to you guys throughout my time here.
Cheers..
