Why did you join this forum?

For me it was mainly because I was looking for a graphics card at the time and came across the forum while doing a google search.

I wanted some advice before purchasing my Athlon Thunderbird, AXIA Y stepping.

My PC blew up and I needed assistance. Then I just started posting crap.

I have serious problems in my life and heard through reputation that General Discussion was a very friendly and useful place to get helpful advice.

Seriously, i was building my first PC and got some very helpful advice on chosing components and help with putting it all together.

Although I'bee bon lurking on and off since 2001, when it was pretty much just an over clocking forum.

I can't remember the exact thing that made me join, as I was a lurker for a while.

My friend Chris1712 introduced me to here though, so I am forever in his debt

Help with building and overclocking my first PC.

Huw · 15 Jul 2011 at 23:04

I like to post in gaming communities and this one was recommended to me by Tals after I ditched my previous favourite. I quite like it here, although this place certainly has its...erm...idiosyncrasies!

Strife212 · 15 Jul 2011 at 23:05

Can't remember.

My mate from uni, L1J of Golf 20VT build fame, told me I needed to. This was just after buying an overclocked Duron 800 bundle.
