We are going to keep this competition simple so all you have to do is achieve the Lowest possible memory frequency using ddr3 memory. you can use any memory as long as its DDR3, you can also use any motherboard.
Just download the latest copy of CPUZ.
http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
you must validate your score at CPUID using CPUZ'S online validation tool.
http://valid.canardpc.com/
When you have your CPUZ validation code [using the same username you use to register on Benchtec forum] just post your link here for a chance to win this great ram!
You can post as many entries as you wish competition begins on seventeenth of August 2010 and ends on midnight 17th of September 2010 [uk time]
anyone can enter, http://www.benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=6951
Most importantly, have fun tweaking your system!
Many thanks to G.Skill for the great prize!

Hi guys, if more than one person reaches the same low frequency each of those entrants will be numbered and an on line randomiser tool will be used to determine the winner.
I'ts a bit of fun to brings folks together...but of course with the chance of a nice prize at the end! we are a competitive lot for sure but having fun is the number one priority.

Thanks for bringing this opportunity Busta, I'm sure this is going to get funny.
@rick, drop the ratio, drop the fsb/bclk and strap. you may have to loosen the timings even.

Wanna bet?
I seen tons of peeps running 1010 overclcoked.. I think this is a cinch When does it end?
Oh there is a catch...
"When you have your CPUZ validation code [using the same username you use to register on Benchtec forum] " gotta re-register under that name eh?
