Overclockers Benching Team members ghost_recon88, KonaKona and benching team leader sno.lcn are benching sub-zero live tonight!

On stage 1, bringing the pain courtesy of some dry ice, ghost_recon88 is starting at 8:00 p.m. EST. Here’s the skinny:

  • Mobo: eVGA Classified E760
  • CPU: i7 920
  • RAM: 6GB Corsair Dominator GT 2000 CL7
  • Cooling: dry ice on the CPU
  • Focus: SuperPi, pifast, wprime
  • Click here to watch on Stage 1
  • Date & Time: June 3rd, 8:00 p.m. EST

Not to be out-done, KonaKona is over at our fearless benching team leader sno.lcn‘s house and they’re going to be going extra cold with some liquid nitrogen! Here are their details:

Rig 1

  • Mobo: Some MSI MB
  • CPU: AMD 1055T
  • RAM: Kingston DDR3-2000
  • GPU: GTX 260 or 4870, plan on getting some time in with both.

Rig 2

More like I couldn't get my dad to accept sno's offer of free beer to get him to stay later. :shrug:

I'm going to have to watch ghost. I have a i7 920 and eVGA E760 Classified too, and I need to get familiar with them.

Good luck to everyone :thup:

Well, after arriving home today (and buying a load of dry ice on the way home), it turns out that the package my rents said arrived was not the one I was expecting, in fact it turned out to be a package for them and they just assumed it was for me :mad:

So, needless to say, without any RAM I won't be streaming tonight :chair: :temper: The tracking is way messed up on the RAM package (RMA from Corsair) so I really have no way of tracking it at all, but based on the latest tracking update since it didn't arrive here today it better be arriving tomorrow :shock:
