GIGABYTE Masters of Overclocking Mini OC competition See inside for details!

1Day · 10 May 2011 at 10:03

3DMark06 cares very little about your ram to be blunt. The CPU tests are only about the CPU threads.

The lucky draw is for customers who did make a purchase.
The contest is not restricted to motherboard bought from OCUK. Only that those who compete are customers.

· Once the competition closes a winner will be randomly selected from all customers who have made purchases from Overclockers UK that meet the above criteria.

I assume this simply means that to take part, you must be a shop customer. To stop people from other forums just entering and winning without giving anything back to OcUK. That or it'll make them go out and buy a couple of cheap things, making OcUK some money they wouldn't have gotten otherwise

hello, this was a generic T&Cs. That line has been amended.

Do not want to alienate new potential customers now

I spent plenty with OCUK so don't have an issue there, I need to be aiming for around 4.85ghz later to be in with a chance of second place spot for max OC, looks like ive got my work cut out as the best I think I've ever had is 4.4 those extra 450mhz are gunna be hard to find.

Would it be possible to get a nice leaderboard going in the OP or something?

Pictures or it did not happen.

Think you will need a screenshot with all the stuff in it. As well as a HWBOT link. Like in the example in the OP.

And you might want to check your URL to CPUID while you are at it.

cpuz validation doesn't seem to like me at the moment but I have linked to the best ones that would upload properly.

Hi Andrew, I shot you an email yesterday, did you get it?

And as a side note, in your results post, the 3d mark results are all listed as being 'closest too' instead of 'closest to'
