BECOME AN OFFICIAL OcUK REVIEWER & WIN SAPPHIRE HD 5970, 5870, 5850 & 5770 GFX CARDS

Can I ask, is there any confirmation of entry? I entered the competition last night via email but haven't heard anything back, and I'm one of those worrying types!
 
Spie do we have to use the template? I would rather use my own style and layout? Obviously stick to the "sections" but I mean the asthetics, can I change it?
 
For reviewing hardware such as CPUs and Graphics cards, should we put much emphasis on Benchmark results? On the one hand, benchmarks are needed to properly compare products to each other. However, all the reviewers will have different PCs, and likely overclocked by different ammounts, so we can't get a set benchmark system going, and most of us will not have several CPUs/Graphics cards to swap around to benchmark and compare.
I would be able to run a couple of benchmarks for things like 3dmark, furmark and the like, but I'm not sure if I should include them without having anything to properly compare the results with. IMO, numbered benchmarks like that are probably best left to the more busiuness oriented review sites like Toms Hardware and so on, since they have one base system that they can test everything with, just changing the graphics card or CPU around and thus providing results that can be easily compared.

Or will OcUK be shipping all their reviewers a complimentary 'Ultima Eliminator' PC so they are all reviewing from the same base PC? :D

And what do you mean by the review contract?

Hi,

Removed the link to your old account soit will let you link to your new account now.
 
Good luck to all who enter this, looks like a great idea & oppurtunity. I won't be entering because i'm not much of a writer though !
 
Hi Spie

Recently I was a reviewer on a website which had to quit because of personal reasons. Is it possible to send link instead of rewrite a review?

(Feel free to ask questions and verify they're really mine.)

Thanks
 
Hmm, I'd thought about reviewing the 920. But they've been out over a year. Think I'll review the 5850 that I got for Xmas.
 
I'm sure I've got something(s) I could review on my days off. :)

Will have to see what I can come up with. :D
 
This sounds like a great opportunity but I havent any money at present to buy new stuff to review...so I think I will leave myself out of it. Good luck to those who do enter...
