[funsoul]

Thanks to Corsair, we're on for our 3rd annual ln2 overclocking party! We're back in downtown Philly July 13th - 15th and hoping to make this year's event our best so far.

Come hang out with some of the top USA computer overclockers. Admission is completely free and everyone from the hardcore to gamers to enthusiasts to the curious are very welcome. Please extend this invite to any of your friends (or acquaintances) who might be in to or curious (or maybe even only mildly interested hehe) in these kinda nerdy things ).

In addition to extreme overclocking there will be free workshops, demos, competions, prizes for some TBD competitions and other activities (and of course, plenty nice people, fun times and liquid nitrogen ).

This sounds super awesome, not even that far from me, just a state over. Hmm... Very tempted

I can just be a observer, I don't have to be an actual ln2 Overclocker?

 

[funsoul]

Hi lynx29!
Everyone's welcome so if you can make it, that'd be excellent! We're planning to have a lot going on for people just like you.

 

[Tomgang]

I would love to come. But its a long way from little Denmark in europe to us.

Will there been any stream events from it?

 

[funsoul]

Hi Tomgang! Yeah...it's a bit of a long haul for you. That said, we do get some attendees from EU.

We'll definitely do some "best of" streaming and post up a bunch of videos after the event. Once we've got a plan, will be sure to update the main hwbot thread with all the info.

If you can somehow make it, that'd be awesome! Otherwise will look forward to you joining us in spirit

 

[infrared]

Sounds amazing! Good luck to everyone organizing and competing! Wish I could be there I need to keep an eye out for something like this happening in England.

 

[funsoul]

Hiya infrared! Would love if you can make it but certainly understand if you can't. There are some semi-regular meets in the UK, take a look at the events sub-forum at hwbot. There are some really great UK benchers and these kind of events are a ton of fun!

 

[infrared]

Cheers funsoul, yeah unfortunately it's too far for me, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for UK meets. I'm determined to have a go with dice/ln2 one of these days

 

[funsoul]

Keep an eye on that sub-forum. You should definitely try to get to one. Nice folks, good benchers and they'll help you get in your first ln2 experience.

Unless someone would sponser the trip to get over to it, im afraid i can not make it. Right now i dont have deep pockets so there are no money for that.

I will deffently be there in spirit and watch the stream then.

 

[funsoul]

Yeah...i hear ya :/ Hopefully we'll broadcast some cool stuff

 

[T-Bob]

Hopefully we'll broadcast some cool stuff

I'm very much looking forward to this. Wish I could attend in person.

 

[funsoul]

Hiya T-Bob! Hope you're doing great man. Wish you could make it
