Other Sponsors
The focus was definitely ATI, but other sponsors were prominently on display.
Not to be outdone by the Cascades and Liquid Nitrogen, AMD was showing their own mineral oil “fishtank” cooling, with the CPU immersed in cooled, non-conductive mineral oil.
Abit was showing their latest Fatal1ty motherboards and video cards.
Gigabyte was showing their latest video cards and motherboards.
OCZ was showing their PowerStream power Supplies and their memory line – in p articular VX memory, which was featured in most of the Extreme Overclocking rigs.
Sapphire was prominently at TXGF as a manufacturer and distributor of ATI video cards, and as the manufacturer of the first AMD Radeon Xpress 200 motherboard, distributed under the Sapphire TUL brand. You will have a hard time finding TUL motherboards in the US, but we are told that they will be widely available in Asia and Europe.

#9Well as far as the competition goes, nobody won. We weren’t having much luck that day. Although, I did let the ATI Tech John Bruno play with my rig for a while and he actually came up with the highest score of the day. :-)
And yes this is the real OPP.

Have we just been blessed with a visit from an Extememe Overclocking legend? If you are the real OPPAINTER my hats off to you. I have followed your extreme over clocking achievements over at futuremark for some time now and I must say they are nothing short of amazing. Maybe you should consider being a guest contributer to Anandtech. So who actually won the competition anyway?Wesley Fink - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
#3 - . . . and I just thought it was a blatant ad for ATI, since everyone is wearing ATI shirts and there isn't even a picture of the OCZ booth. :-) OCZ was an event sponsor, like ATI, Abit, AMD, and others, which were also mentioned prominently.OPPAINTER - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
A wedding band doesn’t mean a thing. I’ve been married and I can tell you I had more fun with women before and after my marriage.Questar - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link

http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/shows/2005/tex..."OPPainter spent a good deal of time on camera explaining extreme overclocking. Here, he is talking about his current records at FutureMark to an audience who are astounded by the performance numbers that they are hearing and seeing for themselves at the overclocking competition."
In actuality:

First page, the picture of the ATI card, the caption reads 500MB version as opposed to 512MB :).EyeSpy - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
