HiCookie, hiwa and Christian Ney were also present for a day of fun and a very late world record minutes before the venue pulled the power plug on a high clocking Z87X-OC rig and GTX Titans.

Boys from TeamAU, HiCookie and G.Skill crew managed to take the 3DMARK05 world record live on stage with some help from the new Intel Haswell platform and the new Z87X-OC board and dual Titan GPUs.

Show Notes

A look ahead at Computex 2014
Computex is one of the largest technology trade shows in the world and happens to be Denniss summertime destination.  His trips to Computex started over 10 years ago and has been a great make new contacts and witness firsthand what new bits of computer hardware will be available for the Christmas shopping season.  Over the years the Computex show has grown quite a bit, not only in size but with elaborate booths and cool overclocking demonstrations.

This year Dennis is looking forward to the GSKill OC World Cup which will likely replace the normal overclocking demonstrations at the GSKill booth.  During the week there will likely be two on two overclocking competitions with the finals being held on the Friday of the show.  An open qualifier was hosted on HWBot with the top 6 getting an open invite to the semi-finals and finals. 

Back in 2009 Dennis hosted a small get together in Taiwan to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of NInjalane.com and as luck would have it, HWBOT is celebrating their 10 year anniversary this year after Computex  By the looks of it they are planning a fun filled weekend of overclocking and general mayhem.
