Congrats stinger!!! Couldn't go to a better person and TPU member!!!!

 

[stinger608]

Okay, this is going to be the first of several different posts!
I am reserving 3 just for this series.

But........Before I get real involved in this entire set of posts I want to first thank so many members that I don't even know where to start.

The donations:

I want to give a huge thanks to these awesome members for making this all a reality

First I want to give a very special thanks to our amazing captain @Norton for making such an impact on the best WCG Team; Team TPU!!!

@sneekypeet for the insane Bitfenix Pandora, Alpenfohen Sella, and the Corsair CX-430!!!

@OneMoar for the amazing 4 gig Mushkin and MSI Twin Frozr GTX750

@TRWOV For the simply amazing little AsRock H81M-HDS motherboard

The entire team for the little jewel processor; Intel Anniversary Pentium G3258

And to the entire Team TPU who have made all these challenges, contests, and Kreij memorials possible!

And God Speed to my friend Dean Kortenhoven who I have to believe is looking down on all of the entire Team TPU with a huge smile! Bless you my friend and rest in piece!!!

Now I know everyone is getting tired of my babbling on this subject, but I am just so overwhelmed at the amazing brotherhood that we all share in this team! Yes, there are teams that post up more points that Team TPU but believe in your hearts there is no other team in the World Community Grid that has a better brotherhood than Team TPU!!!! Bless each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart!

Too bad. That's supposed to be a fun little chip for someone who's relatively new but interested in overclocking.

 

[bubbleawsome]

I'd be scared of killing it. Everything I've OC'd has died. Occupational hazard

OC gently.
