Articles: How I prepared for the MOA 2012 Americas Qualifier

Postby Ninjalane » Mon May 21, 2012 1:05 am

Thanks! Most overclockers are rather tight lipped when it comes to their overclocking adventures so I figured a little bit of disclosure would be a nice change.

Sounds like fun adventure. I've always been interested in this level of overlcocking, but dont have the time or funds to make it happen. Thanks for letting me live vicariously.
