Welcome to my personal website about overclocking and benchmarking experiences!
Previous image upload service bandwidth.se got shut down due to excessive cpu usage, here is my second try at a faster, simpler and easier service. It's called Imup and you can find it at
Imup.se
Marcus "Kinc" Hultin at ASUS put together a great live competition at this years Dreamhack Winter. The concept was single overclockers competiting in a bracket system (1v1) with overclocking done at the same time and each contestant had 30 minutes with the two systems. This was done to rule out the luck factor and it worked quite well. The winner was decided by adding the highest score from each system together for a total score.
I got the chance to play some with Gigabytes GTX 260 Super OverClocked version. After vmodding it to 1.5v and keeping it at -120*C I was surprised to see it hit some crazy frequencies.
Most competitions are done with requirements of high frequencies and high performance. Gigabyte wanted to try a new concept with same cpu frequency for all competitors and air cooling meaning only the tweaking would make the difference. I was there competing with Henry "ME4ME" de Kruijf.

Issue 7 of The Overclocker magazine just got out. It's the largest one yet and includes an interview with me so if you want to know how I got started with overclocking etc hit the link after the break.
It's this time a year again, when overclockers in the Nordics gather to test out what the new technology from Intel has to offer. This year it was scaled down and only had 5 participants: Sampsa and SF3D from Finland and Kinc, Crotale and myself from Sweden.
Just double click it and it saves the screenshot to the same directory the exe-file is in. Perfect for those bench screenies!

With the new P55-platform launched it enables some crazy memory speeds. A-DATA has made use of this and have launched their newest kit at an astonishing 1100Mhz at CAS 8.
I was invited by Andreas at AMD Sweden to participate in an overlocking event at Swedish e-tailer Inets retail store in Sisjön, Gothenburgh. There I was supposed to show what AMD:s Phenom II in comination with HD5870 was able to do.
I've had the chance to play with AMD:s new HD5870 graphics card. Since no one have posted any results yet, I give you some results on aircooling.
