** OcUK Hardware Awards 2011 **

[Admiral Huddy]

Not sure if this has been done in previous years. Anyway, I’ve selected a few hardware categories which I hope you agree with. There’s no prizes.. it’s just for fun. If there’s anything you feel I’ve missed then please let me know

Post your selections and give reasons as to why you nominated this person and/or the hardware and link to examples where you can.

No Fan boy arguments please

List one nomination in each category.

Here's mine :

Godly Geek - Best HW contributor

RJC - Always there ready to help.


Master Chef – Best Hardware advisor

Stulid - This maybe a runaway winner


X-Factor - Best Hardware of 2011

Although not quite the best SSD on the market, but introducing the Patriot Inferno 120GB was notably a marked improvement on system performance and i'd never go back to a standard HDD for the OS and games.


Daybreak – The Worst Hardware of 2011

Well the bulldozer was a massive disappointment but personally, I bought a Gigibyte GA-A75M to have a play around with. It was a nightmare to get working. An eleventh hour BIOS update just prevented the RTM


Master Mechanic - Best Project log of 2011

joxang legendary project builds but his Corair 600T was both an amazing build and log

Golden Globe - Best Hardware Thread of 2011

Sandybridge Overclocking
Although I've not got one myself, I had the privilege of playing around with a few and this came in very handy.



Looking forward next next as I'm upgrading my entire system and retiring my faithful OC'd Q6600
