Ok so here we go!!

So after recovering and then laughing a while at all the things that actually took place...

So lets just say it was fun exciting agrovating and a whole lot more...

So the story begins as most good stories do with a idea, this idea was to overclock (que stupid remarks)

So we all decided that the best thing to do would be to get it out of our systems and our "systems" and just see what we could get.
Well needless to say it was never going to go as planned, actually i dont think it ever does with us... :lol:

So friday morning came and all were in the know that this was going to be the day we would kill our own record hahahah!

First to arrive was our master in armed wording assult Tech phil
Image
obviously my couch was calling his name :o

Then came Ralph with with the special ingredients needed
Image

er he was a little parinoid about letting us see where he got it from :lol:
Image

Then came our newly wedded man with sun burn... i mean tan!
Image

So we all assembled at my place and started to contemplate how we were going to do this, i'll explain: we had the choice of three pipes but neither of us could really make a choice on which one to use so we took a vote... and let Ralph make the choice :P
so here it is among other things..
Image

Then it was on to the insulation...
Image

insulation in..
Image

this was followed by instillation of pipe and other nessasary items to bench with.. NO PHIL NOT GYM BENCH :P
Image

aaah now all in and lets start her up..
Image

more to come...

ok so on we go..
pic of the nice liquid we used
Image

how about some cooling...
Image

So we had to post up and guess what, on our first try..
Image
and...
Image
...
Image
taa daaa...
Image

but unfortunatly this didn't last long as we hit the feared COLD BUG!!!
and of course this lead to the thinking caps being put on :lol:
Image

Carl thought he could help out in his own "special" way..
Image

and tech had other things on his mind..
Image

we did manage a run eventually of course...
Image

more to come again!

Ok so on we go now...

er more benching..
Image

and our only 3d or should i say AM3 run..
Image

this sorta ended the day as we were all pretty much had after a hard day off goofing around :P

So on to the next day and two rather weary members or rather should i say one weary (i never actually went to sleep the whole weekend just to stupid to give up i guess! :P ) and one slighty sickish member of TSSR carried on...
Image

This is where i need to have a little cry now :crying: as you'll see in the next pic...
Image

Damn how close was that :angry:

anyway after that it all went pretty down hill as we only got a good run of about two or three hours with no cold bug and then it just wouldn't play nice with us!!!

Some more pics of our little adventure..
Image

It was lots of fun, just sitting in front of the aircon is not so fun, luckily Stormhorse had the honors.
