Hello everyone!

I would first like to thank RomDominance for the opportunity to blog here with this great bunch of guys.  Many of you may have seen me around at xtremesystems, overclockaholics, i4memory or other various forums around the net.   For those of you whom havent met me yet, let me give you a short introduction.

My name is Jamie and I’m 27 years old.  I live and work in the Buffalo NY area, running a local computer repair business and an online ebay store.  I’ve been into computers from the time I could walk as a little kid.  In fact I could type my name on a computer before I could write it!  My father was a computer programmer and got me into hardware and games at a very young age.  Been an addict ever since!  I also run a small Overclocking team that is part of the PURE overclocking team.  Its called the Uberclocker OC Team and we have a small blog where I also post at.  Members include myself, Slovnaft, Chispy and Pauld5999.

My first gaming PC was an Apple IIe (no hard disk, just two floppy’s) and Ive owned many since…  From a 286 16Mhz playing Wing Commander to my current i7/classified rigs waiting for some DX11 action.

I first got into overclocking during the end of the AMD reign.  I wasnt concerned with benchmarking, it was mainly just to squeeze some extra performance out of lower end cpus to save some cash.  Then in late 2007 I got bitten with the benchmarking bug which led to heavy hardware purchases and extreme cooling.  Funny how this hobby usually starts out as a way to save some cash, but results in an expensive addiction that rivals heroin :)

In 2008 I skipped from air cooling right to LN2.  Never messed with water or phase, and only used dry ice a few times.  Picked up a 50L dewar and cpu, nb and 2x gpu pots from Duniek.  Earlier this year I purchased an F1EE cpu pot from Kingpin.  Been cold clockin ever since :)

Ive recently been on a quest to max out my hwbot hwboints, and in doing so have broken back into the top 100.  Currently ranked 75th I hope to hit 600 points by the end of 2009.

I will be posting the results of my OC adventures, and some hardware reviews too.  Looking forward to working with everyone here, to make pcwormhole a top destination for OC related news and reviews!
