  • Third workshop: extreme overclocking with ln2, safety and insulation technique.

The first workshop took place on Tuesday 22. This was the day we arrived at the campus party and because the workshop only instructed on theoretical basics of overclocking we went shopping instead. But don’t worry, you didn’t missed anything.

For this workshop, the overclocking crew introduced the audience to several things:
How to overclock the CPU from the BIOS
How to overclock from windows through the ASUS tool of the ROG series.
What is extreme overclocking?

The third workshop brought today the novice overclockers from the audience to the next level. The use of extreme cooling solutions with safety instructions, isolation and benching under cold.
This workshop is probably the most interesting one for the campuseros that got attracted by the smoke and the impressiveness of ln2 benching.
Better than a long story, here are the pics and a recap video of this last overclocking workshop at the campus party 2012.
