As the title implies what are your qualifications?, we all know your a record breaker and all around nice guy :D but how did 8pack become the skilled ocer he is now.
 
I dont have any formal PC qualification I am totally self taught. I have started teh Microsoft Engineers Qualification but have not yet finished it. I have been overclocking on sub zero testing every single setting possible in bios etc for about ten years and this is how I learned.

Shamino at ASUS saw that I had a talent for overclocking on there ASUS ROG Forum so helped me take this a stage further.
 
I expected to hear you have gone to uni and did pc engineering or something similar, but its nice to hear through sheer determination talent and alittle help you have gotten to where you are now :)
 
Yeah its testing and observing really. Experience counts a lot and for me the ability to perform under pressure of live demo's / comps. has counted a lot.

Of course I can do mods to cards etc etc for voltage control at hardware level and have for many years but again all self taught.

This is impressive, by trade I'm a mechanical and electrical tech and I absolutely blow at small scale soldering, despite it being part of my job. I tip my hat to you sir, those small solder joints require a very steady hand and lots of patience :)


Whats the worst injury you've had as a result of overclocking or just general tinkering with PC's?
 
LN2 on the foot when pouring from 50L dewar in a massive rush!!! (ie mid bench) and needing a thermos full!!! fairly bad burn to top of foot and rock hard trainer!!!
