About Me

My name is Roman “der8auer” Hartung and I am a mechatronics engineer from Germany. I’ve been active in the extreme-overclocking scene since 2007 and within this time I have always created and successfully used all kinds of tools, among them LN2/Dice containers, Direct Die Frames, and delidding tools.
 
Apart from my Youtube channel I am involved as an CEO with HWBot and Thermal Grizzly.

When i am not working on PCs and hardware stuff, I enjoy tuning and driving my Nissan R35 GT-R. You can also find me at JDM events like “Reisbrennen”.
