GOC2007 – Gigabyte Overclocking Competition – Jakarta
Last weekend I was once again honored to participate in an international overclocking competition on behalf of Team.AU (Team Australia).
This time contestants from around the Asia-Pacific region gathered in Jakarta Indonesia, home to some great overclocking talent and may I say one of the finest overclocking event organizers, Benny Lodewijk and his team at PT.Nusantara Eradata. Sponsored by Gigabyte, nVidia, Intel, and a foray of other great hardware companies the platform was set for another extreme overclocking face-off.
Corsair Factory Tour (Team.AU Exclusive)
Josh (moloko) and Dino (dinos22) from Team.AU got the opportunity to visit Corsair Fremont HQ and receive a tour of the facilities. We were also accompanied by no other than Charles Wirth (aka FUGGER > owner of Xtreme Systems Forum).
First thing is first, Corsair guys made us wear some loony jackets 
and slapped some anti-static slippers 
(perfect for us i must say) >> very pedantic and i must say i liked that. They look after this stuff and pay a lot of attention to detail and quality from what we could see.
